I finally got some kind of retrospective up for 2025.

A rousing call to take back our technology and bring back the old web. I read the entire essay!
As I've been saying for a year or two now, *almost nothing has actually changed* technology-wise between 1995 and 2025. Most of HTML 3.5 still works in any browser. It's super easy to learn. I've got that shit on muscle-memory speed-dial and could whip out a site in notepad in 30 minutes!
Nothing has actually been *taken* from us; we've just been discouraged from using it! A bunch of techbros took up a bunch of space and we just said "ok I guess you make all the spaces now." That's nothing but a culture thing! Manipulation! It's psychological!
So let's self-organize an internet the way we did once before.

I've added a #PlainText exporter to my bespoke #StaticSiteGenerator.
Most pages on my site now have .txt counterparts, which for now you can access by appending the extension to the URL directly, e.g. https://balintmagyar.com/colophon.txt
I'd like to look into hosting #GeminiProtocol and/or #Gopher mirrors of my site at some point, and this felt like a logical step towards that. Shout out to @fab for the inspiration!

I've added a new page to my personal website, where I recommend interesting things I've read, played, watched, and listened to. I talk about that a bit in this post, and also show you how you can use YAML to make your life easier when working with large amounts of data!

New year, new look:
- I updated the fonts I use on my personal website to nudge the vibe my in a direction that is closer to my authentic self
- I added a couple topic pages: one for my mountaineering adventures, and one for video games that I make and play
- I also created a much-simplified top level index page that more closely matches my authentic self rather than my business persona
I love this person and her golden enthusiasm.
I don’t know her, and I’ve never built my own website, but after her cheerful tale of trials and tribulations, I’m thinking I really want to.
My own little digital garden.
My own plot on the web.
I have some thoughts.

The marketing copy that states that anyone can be a good programmer and you can do work that took teams weeks in under an hour is to blame.
The good intentions of people never died, they have been misled because venture capitalists need to justify pouring money into vanity projects.

I found a nice way to send webmentions from the terminal!
I have the following saved as `send-wm.sh`:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
my_url="$1"
target_url="$2"
curl -i -d "source=$my_url&target=$target_url" $(curl -i -s "$target_url" | grep 'rel="webmention"' | sed 's/rel="webmention"//' | grep -o -E 'https?://[^ ">]+' | sort | uniq)
```
I can then run `send-wm.sh <my_url> <target_url>` — works great!
I got this from the IndieWeb wiki (https://indieweb.org/webmention-implementation-guide#One-liner_webmentions), although note that it has to look for 'rel="webmention"' rather than 'rel="http://webmention.org/"' as the wiki says.
I added this to my webmentions discussion: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/wiki/tutorials/webmention-tutorial/#sending-webmentions-(command-line)
