📝 New Post: What Music Ownership Means to Me

I joined a new Inazuma Eleven Discord group. And while my use of it has diminished across the years bc I don't like big groups and most recently my dislike towards the platform itself, I am once again wondering about open-source/decentralized options for fandom people with little experience with coding to gather.

Say someone from a fandom wants to create a group for fans of that fandom. What privacy-first and open-source options accessible for non-coding folks there are instead of Discord? I'm thinking something of forum-style but I don't have enough experience with online groups to have concrete ideas, and kids these days like their image-heavy platforms. Dreamwidth would work for the former but you do need an account to participate hmm... :thinking_cirno:

#IndieWeb Zoom events on https://events.indieweb.org/ are open to anyone around the world, though we do speak English. If I felt better about my spotty Spanish I'd probably try to host one.

Our world wide web is absolutely and resolutely international.

Once again Homebrew Website Club will meet - 6pm US Eastern Time - tomorrow (Wednesday). I am hosting; we talk about and troubleshot and bitch about and work on personal websites, technology, and owning both as much as we can. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/12/homebrew-website-club-eastern-8xJ5TiPtMfHe An #IndieWeb event on Zoom

Chris Aldrich typed up a physical card to represent a checkin for #IndieWeb Camp #SanDiego 2025 this past weekend and it's beautiful. https://artlung.com/blog/2025/12/13/checkin-iwcsd-2025/ @chrisaldrich #typewriter

Follow Chris's website for info on his Typewriter events in #Pasadena at Vroman's!

So, the Umami install on my Yunohost server shat the bed; I had to install anew. If anyone knows how to import session data from a backup database dump, please do reach out as getting help on the Yunohost forums for anything even a little complex is like winning the lottery (if the form doesn't break and just delete everything you've written) :/ #umami #yunohost #disaster #indieweb #blog

An Island in the Net in 2030?



Submitted to the IndieWeb Carnival December 2025 with my thoughts on what it will mean to be an Island in the Net in 2030. @vhbelvadi

See, I’ve always compared that building pressure of need-to-blog to being constipated (which makes the resultant blog post like having a very satisfying bowel movement), but maybe Brad’s analogy is better. Maybe.

If you run internet-facing services and care about blast radius, determinism, and auditability, this one’s for you.

systemd hardening as a real control plane

CIS / STIG-leaning NGINX defaults that fail closed

TLS, logging, rate limiting, and observability as design decisions

Treating NGINX like an ingress appliance, not a web server

Learning HTML doesn't have to be hard.
heck even websites shouldn't be hard.
So I made a thing that does that.
Well it at least lets you put text down and then you can use it as an application.

This month’s IndieWeb Book Club book, the Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams, felt like it was written for me. One of my goals this year was to learn more about design, so I was delighted to see this book on the list..

Read about #Encyclia by @jfietkau and plans to bring more #OpenScience to our #fediverse

https://discuss.coding.social/t/my-current-goals-for-activitypub-and-academic-data/750

There are multiple other #ActivityPub projects that share interests to connect more tightly the academic world to the #SocialWeb.

Backed by #NGI0 @nlnet funding there is the very promising @bonfire and #Plaudit in earlier rounds (#WebMentions, not fedi).

We should align on #OpenStandards
