It's been a good few weeks since the last Hyperlink Roundup and though I read many blogs, it was still a busy time wrapping up work before the holidays.

We finally have the first early beta builds of #11tyCMS ready! They’ll be released in a few days. I need to write a README, some warnings and prepare a launch blog post.

Note we don’t have any official uploads to Flathub yet. I’m currently figuring out how Flatpak packaging for Electron works.

Stay tuned! #11ty #indieweb

I love the indie/small web. I find personal websites intriguing, and love to browse around. I found many via /now, /interests, /ideas, and more. So it was time to do my part and start a /top4 movement.

I know I have been on a little hiatus, but I am still keeping my #blog over at:

Feel free to check it out! I'll pick back up on writing after the holidays.

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPHP Vol. 55: "Spike.nagatha.fr" https://spike.nagatha.fr/

Ever heard of Gemini? It's a lightweight internet protocol between Gopher and the Web - no JavaScript, no cookies, no tracking, just text and links over TLS.

Think of it as the web before it got complicated. Pages are written in "gemtext", a minimal markup format. The entire protocol spec fits on a few pages.

To explore Geminispace you need a client:

- Lagrange (GUI, cross-platform): https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/
- Amfora (terminal): https://github.com/makeworld-the-web-great-again/amfora

Start exploring at gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/ - an aggregator of active capsules (what we call Gemini sites).

I write about FreeBSD and self-hosting at gemini://gemini.hofstede.it/

This next post isn’t about gaming. It is my personal story of what it feels like to realize that you have to leave your homeland. It was a hard to write, but every share helps.

The lighthouse is in its slippers.
The servers are wearing cardigans.
The kettle has been promoted to senior management.

The sea is politely murmuring,
the dogs are auditing the biscuit supply,
and the light goes round and round
like it’s got nowhere else to be (because it doesn’t).

Nothing urgent. Nothing loud.
Just a small, stubborn glow
doing its best against the weekend.

We’ll keep the light on 💡

Today I updated my privacy policy, my `/uses` page, my "days since" counter and added an entry to my skate diary

2025 year in review: https://andrewmelder.com/2025/12/20/year-in-review.html

The year was marked by personal loss, health reassessments, efforts towards intentional living, and the joyful adoption of a dog, all intertwined with reflections on grief and growth.

@hober a few of us in #indieweb have been discussing this the last week or so and earlier I tried the Goodreads export in CSV has many columns.

We updated the list on the IndieWeb wiki for Goodreads with the full list of data in a CSV. https://indieweb.org/Goodreads

I hope this helps a little. I hadn't tried the export in a while and was surprised by how much was in it. There are data gaps for many books, but most had data decently populated.
#webmentions mastodon.social/tags/webmentions

I made a new version of my website and I included #webmentions let's try if it works.
I did a test article here:

I've been very reluctant to set defaults for syndication, making options be selected each time instead. This is a bit problematic because I like to reduce friction. The issue is that I don't want them to be global. I want them to be a bit more granular. For example, a hallmark of a note for me is that is doesn't have an explicit title. Maybe I want all notes to go to all services that support them unless I say otherwise.... I am worried about a mistake I made years ago involving importing old posts... so the code needs to check the published date and not post anything old automatically. Responses to URLs on a syndication site should automatically go out to that site...but not necessarily to other sites. I had a discussion about this with my Indieweb associates at IndieWebCamp San Diego and I'm still not sure what I'll end up doing.

Books in #GoodReads personal data export are represented by title only. No author information, no ISBN, no publisher, no publication date, no edition info, no URLs. Ugh. #indieweb

How Gemini Gives Me Hope for a Better Internet

"There was something magical about viewing bits and pieces of this person and their life through text on a screen and images that didn't load directly on the page. Who else knew this capsule existed? How many more people know Gemini exists? A small web floating on the internet with a vibrant set of people just wanting a peaceful existance."

Laurens Hof at Connected Places wraps up the Threads / fediverse experiment:

My take is that Meta and Threads have played the game well. They immediately capitalised on the moment in 2023 when decentralisation and Twitter-alternatives got large-scale attention, and knew how to say the right buzzwords to ride the wave.

Threads with even partial ActivityPub support in maintenance mode is still better than a completely closed platform. But it is disappointing that Meta didn’t take this further.

Hi folks! I've been lurking for a bit, but here's an #introduction. I'm a graduate student in #musicology, mostly working on early music. Periodization is difficult (and so early music is an acceptably vague term), but my interests primarily concern music in Europe between the late-ish middle ages and 1750. I studied Classical Liberal Arts in my undergraduate education, so I also enjoy connecting musicological research with other disciplines, especially classics, philosophy, theology, and history. Besides my academic work, I'm a harpsichord technician and a web developer.

Here is a nice list of things I can be curmudgeonly about:
- Musicology
- Early music (#Medieval, #Renassance, #Baroque)
- Historiography
- Medievalism (is interesting both in relation to medieval history and as its phenomenon)
- Philosophy
- #Harpsichords
- Keyboard #temperaments (the squiggle on the WTC cover page is just a scribble)
- #Latin
- Sustainable #agriculture
- Web development
- #IndieWeb
