Hand-coded, syndicated, and above all personal websites are exemplary: They let users of the internet to be autonomous, experiment, have ownership, learn, share, find god, find love, find purpose. Bespoke, endlessly tweaked, eternally redesigned, built-in-public, surprising UI and delightful UX. The personal website is a staunch undying answer to everything the corporate and industrial web has taken from us.
Wohoo! The IndieWeb POSSE (Publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere) is trending on hackernews! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46468600

Start a blog. Start one because the practice of writing at length, for an audience you respect, about things that matter to you, is itself valuable. Start one because owning your own platform is a form of independence that becomes more important as centralized platforms become less trustworthy. Start one because the format shapes the thought, and this format is good for thinking.

POSSE is on the front page of Hacker News right now, which I think is kind of delightful. Lots of people discovering the more human, independent approach that the #indieweb advocates.

https://artlung.com/pfp/ collects my avatar icons. 20 years worth or so. Ordering them I will save for another day. “/pfp” is the path for this according to https://slashpages.net/ but I’ve not seen anyone else with such a page other than the 1 example. #smallWeb #indieWeb
I updated my /now/ page covering the last month of December:
- wrote a new post sharing the story of a birthday surprise for my best friend that involved covertly sniping his expiring web domain and porting his 20-year old Python Tetris/Mega Man 2 Mash-up game to Rust
- shared 5 clipped articles
- started watching Fallout Season 2
- re-watched some 80's movies
- re-listened to some 90/00's music
and more:

New from me: Stepping into 2026
2025 was a mix of wins, frustrations, and the usual chaos. For 2026 I’m trying to build on what’s already working: keep writing practical cybersecurity posts, keep the messy move away from big tech going, and finally finish my degree in April.
Also… first time I’m saying this publicly: I’m working on a cyber-thriller book series and plan to self-publish. 😅📚
