I'm happy to finally have a Blogroll on my website! It took me some time to figure out how I wanted it to work: it's a combination of a blogroll and a postroll. I hope you'll be inspired by these awesome websites!

I'm deep into #IndieWeb dilemma. My mind is still occupied with discovering my old site and there's so many cool things there, that I somehow forgot.



  • I had a section called "Domain", which was a history of the site. Today that would probably be called "Colophon"
  • I had a section called "Fan" which would list image buttons of things I liked, apparently back then 100x31 was the norm, instead of 88x31
  • I had a "Playlist" page, because back in my day you had to arrange your music manually..
  • There was "Hostees", which I had noooo idea what it was till I opened the page.. Apparently I was 'hosting' some of my friend's sites as subdomains on my site.
  • And there's "Exits", which were apparently links to resources, cool websites etc.

The entire thing was a bunch of <table>'s and inline HTML (+ some CSS), but it worked, and even now in a version where the remote CSS file and images don't work in web.archive.org, it still looks very palatable..


So the 'dilemma' is that I changed so many layouts (which was fun), everything was so simple, I barely used paragraphs (apparently) and my content table was 480px and in the middle of the page with a <center>. Now, on gerben.dev, I wouldn't dare to do all that.. everything has to be perfect.. and now I'm thinking whether that is ruining the fun.. I'm trying to rewrite my layout in a different branch, but it's so much work. 🫠

Lighthouse lore vi

Post 5/5

Here’s the truth: The Lighthouse isn’t infrastructure — it’s intention. Persistence. A refusal to let the web turn grey and corporate.
It breathed that night because you breathed into it: humour, stubbornness, craft.
ā€œLantern lit,ā€ it said. ā€œProceed, captain.ā€

#LighthouseLore #IndieWeb #FediTech

I don't know why people think misery will make them better writers. It's difficult to put pen to paper and not whine or over exaggerate.

This is fantastic! I’d like a sequel soon. (And thanks for reminding me I never got the Internet Phone Book.)

@z1nz0l1n writes back to us for this month’s #IndieWebCarnival on the future of the #IndieWeb from a dystopian 2031 that I, for one, hope never materialises.

RE: https://aus.social/@AuntyRed/115658918796263152

Quite a lot to think about in the latest contribution to this month’s #IndieWebCarnival from @AuntyRed about the future of the #IndieWeb, including the good, the bad and the ugly.

I’d love to learn a bit more about my readers, so I’ve put together a quick (and anonymous) survey using Tally Forms.

If you read my blog https://burgeonlab.com and have a minute or two, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill it out!

Thank you. 🄰

Announcement: San Diego IndieWeb Camp 2025 ~ December 13th & 14th, 2025: https://artlung.com/blog/2025/12/03/sdiwc2025-announcement/ #IndieWeb #SanDiego

Milestone: I have sent my first public webmention with Rust. It may disappear after 48 hours, but it will live forever in my heart.

https://webmention.rocks/test/2

#DecemberAdventure #Webmention

So, I got IndieAuth working on the site, as well as MicroPub. Feeds are being fed, but every note also has a separate node, not sure if that's normal. Also, I only tested one feed, still need to fully configure them all.

Gotta test Webmention/Pingback, gotta learn what WebSub is, and gotta see if my slapdash #IndieWeb implementation plays nice with an #ActivityPub implementation in #Drupal.

Productive day today. Good news tomorrow will mean even more to learn and do. For now, I sleep.

Made my contribution to @vhbelvadi's brilliant topic for this months #indiewebcarnival "Where do you see the IndieWeb in 2030"

As much as I am okay with things being ephemeral; Everytime I see even a random person’s website being non-responsive, my heart breaks a bit. #indieweb

My new project Graphpedia aims to be the #1 platform for online knowledge graphs.

Specifically static visual knowledge graphs based on Wikidata.

It aims to be yet another rabbit-hole of the internet to explore and deep-dive into. ā˜•

As well as a source for learning, teaching, and citation.

It has ~1,600 knowledge graphs so far — each based on a Wikidata property.
