Wrapping up 2025 with a big win: My site now supports comments from both #Mastodon AND #Bluesky!
Read about how I built this dual-powered system here: https://www.richardorilla.website/how_i_integrated_bluesky_and_mastodon.html

New post: I’m part of the indie web with a small ‘i’
Being part of the IndieWeb is not for everyone, me included, but that doesn’t stop you participating in the IndieWeb Carnival

Updated my weblisting with two new critters: https://creaturesinsi.de/shelter
I started a small crowdsourced project for finding better alternatives to over-visited destinations 🌍
It’s still early, but if you’re interested in discovering quieter, lesser-known places instead of the usual crowded hotspots, feel free to explore or contribute:

Finished making a post for Beautiful Chords today with some extra tools. It would be really easy to keep going and make a Monte Carlo for random chords, rotations of connected shapes, moire strings, shadow art with strings, etc.

New blog post up:
"Can we please stop getting data breach severities the wrong way around?"
About how so many breach notifications get the relative severity of different classes of data being involved in a breach wrong, and that the more severe if included in a breach data is the stuff that's difficult to change, not the stuff that's easy to change.

I guess I'm posting a little bit again...
Hi to people interested in #retrotech #selfhosting #linux #indieweb #fediverse #mastodon #community #analog #electronics #repairable #recycling can't think of everything but you get the idea
Terrific #IndieWeb #FrontEnd Study Hall today. HTML, CSS: way better!, write JavaScript only when necessary. "RSS" interop promising; needs "ACID test". QOTD: "The shorter the code the fewer places for bugs to hide" @tantek.com.web.brid.gy

Next FrESH in 2 weeks.
‘For me, an updated definition of the indieweb needs to respond to a more relevant set of problems. Here’s what I’m going with:
‘ The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”. It consists of creative websites such as blogs that are not published on closed, corporate platforms characterised by VC-funding, scale and marketisation.’

Screenshot teaser for something I’ve been working on over the holidays, for launch next year. I think this could be a big deal. Can’t share the details yet! Perfectly fits with the Micro.blog and IndieWeb principle of pluralism: multiple protocols, platforms, anything that makes the open web better.
A few months ago I turned off fediverse publishing for my blog. Some of my posts still trickle out to the fediverse, via conversations, which is fine. I haven’t missed it. I still get replies on Micro.blog and from Bluesky. I’m going to turn the fediverse back on and see how things are in 2026. 👋
Following on my post about the fediverse for next year, I’m going to be doing some work to clean out never-used or spammy accounts in Micro.blog. Micro.blog is currently 6th most popular fediverse software for total users, but will fall off after more housekeeping.
