I have published a new article on Yakihonne that dives deeper into themes around technology, control, and digital autonomy. It is a reflective piece aimed at stepping back from headlines and thinking more carefully about where we are heading.

Shortest day of the year.
The light barely rises, the dark lingers longer than invited.

But lighthouses were never built for easy days.
They exist for the long nights, the rough seas, the moments when direction matters most.

The light is on.
It always is.

Yesterday's #Indieweb Club #Bangalore meetup had the largest attendance ever! 25 people showed up this time and we worked together on our websites, making new ones and improving old ones, and helping each-other out. We wrote and published 15 blog posts! It was really fun. The community has over 120 members now. Join us at https://blr.indiewebclub.org.

Cool, the Lagrange client for the Gemini Protocol is also available on Apple iOS via a TestFlight beta version.

Amazing, now I can read the Smallweb also on my phone 😁

The Geminispace is amazing. Like the old web, no JavaScript, no tracking, just raw content.

My own capsule is at gemini://gemini.hofstede.it

Short day, long shadows.
Dogs walked, servers humming, kettle on.

Building things the slow way:
owning the stack, minding the details, choosing sustainability over scale for scale’s sake.

The lighthouse keeps running —
quiet, independent, intentional.

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).

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 💡

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:
https://kissmaelis.com/en/blog/testing-webmentions/
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.
