@floresophize Parabéns, rainha da #indieweb! 🥳

Mid-morning watch 🎄
Dogs fed, backups done, lights steady.
One more week safely boxed up before the festivities really begin.

Whether you’re on duty, travelling, or quietly logging off for a bit —
keep warm, take it steady, and don’t forget to breathe.

We’ll mind the light.

Any recommendations for a self-hostable headless CMS?

I consider switching to a CMS instead of writing in local for my Astro blog. Reason is being able to write wherever I want. I tried Payload, but it‘s way heavy for my needs. Keystatic seems to be fine too and Git-based. But are there other options? I use MDX a lot too so I should be able to create custom components.

It kinda seems like webmention could be used to say “here is a patch for your git repo that I think you should apply” in a fully distributed way #webmention #webdev #git

Could all of you spam my website on Linkedin? I want to make people that wear suits and ties uncomfortable. https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence/ #Blog #Blogging #IndieWeb #LinkedIn

😔 Why do I feel bad about posting I'm on the market for a job? Its a mix of shame and guilt which I don't know the source of?

Is putting yourself out there in a two-liner, upselling yourself this cringy? Am I alone in this? It feels betrayal of some unspoken rule of social media.

Midnight watch.
Fog presses close, the sea mutters old names against the rocks.
The light turns, slow and patient, cutting holes in the dark.

If you’re awake, you’re not alone.
Some of us keep watch so others don’t drift.

The lighthouse remains.

Mid-evening watch: wind easing, rain still tapping at the glass.
Dogs fed, logs checked, lights steady.
The lighthouse hums, quiet and stubborn, doing its job while the world scrolls past.

Keep warm. Keep curious.
We’ll mind the light.

Are you an open source project looking to polish up your website? I can help. I'm a full stack engineer with over 4 years experience. I built and maintain a Mozilla recommended addon. I can work with your technical stack and build fast, reliable and maintainable websites without relying on AI. Accessibility and ethical ux patterns all the way.

Christmas nod to all Fediverse admins keeping the lights on with duct tape, Rails, shell scripts, and a healthy distrust of “just add AI”, growth hacks, and anyone promising scale before coffee.

You keep instances humane, imperfect, and running anyway.
That’s the magic.

Festive watch continues.
We see you.

I finally did it!

I've been linking my blog posts here recently to get more readers, but mostly because I wanted to integrate Mastodon directly into my site as my comment engine.

The system is now live. Replies to this post will appear on my blog!

Tech Keeper recalls dial-up nights: 2400 baud, Liverpool nodes, the modem’s scream before silence. Every connection earned, every minute counted.

Latency taught patience. Scarcity taught care.
Some lessons still guide the light.

Morning watch steady.
We’ll keep it on.

Something I've toyed with but never made public on my website is the #IndieWeb idea of a "firehose" page. I think Mark Pilgrim was the first one I saw. Today I made it. https://artlung.com/firehose/ It includes my MetaFilter posts and limits to 30 so the oldest post is 24 years old. Whoosh.

I think I've finally got it in a good spot where I'm comfortable sharing, so here is my personal indieweb site that I've been working on for a while now!

What do you think of it? I've been working very hard on it and it is only using html/css/js and no frameworks.

My December Adventure detoured into an implementation of IndieAuth. I need an authenticated section to process the pending Webmentions before they're made visible to the public. Instead of maintaining my own credentials, I wanted to stay in the IndieWeb spirit and authenticate against my own website and its rel=me links. Success!
