Blogging without analytics is lonely
"But really, how can those other options even compare when Fedi has stuff like [https://bots.stefanbohacek.com/]?!"

Fair point, @shellsharks!

I wrote a little #Now thing. I hope to publish a couple longer posts some time soon, quite possibly once the switching of the hosts is all done. Done like dinner.
Anyways, a post containing short musings on switching hosts; #Enshittification; #digitalSovereignty; and hopefully soon being able to compose some longer musings:

Prefiro ler artigos no Kindle ou iPad via RSS. Mas há casos de sites e blogs com uma identidade visual diferenciada nos quais faço questão de conferir no PC. É o caso do blog Gridranger.
Ele mimetiza a área de trabalho do Windows XP não só no visual, mas também sua navegação feita por ícones e com direito até mesmo ao botão maximizar numa janela flutuante.

Today's highlight: The Reflection Journal
Every meditation includes space to write your thoughts. Not a comment box—a private journal just for you.
No character limits. No one else sees it. Just you processing the Word.
This is free for everyone.
Wrote up a long-form draft report on this one! Not super detailed, but I like keeping up with the ol' blog.

Is anyone else completely exhausted by the "Suggested For You" era of the web?
I feel like 2025 broke something in my tolerance for algorithmic feeds. I caught myself scrolling my personal insta yesterday and realized I hadn't seen a post from an actual human friend in ten minutes. It was just engagement bait and AI-generated slop. Uggh!
Thinking about moving my web reading habits to RSS.

Content creation itself isn’t the problem, but quantity does not overcome poor quality and we’re presently swimming in shit. Quality creative that resonates emotionally with humans will always be attractive and entertaining. We’re social animals and seek connection. Concentrate on doing break out work, rather than figuring out a way to game the system without doing any of the work.
@shollyethan What are you into?
##chat is a good one if you just want activity. Personally, I'm in #Hamradio, #perl, #TheLounge, #systemd, #gamingonlinux, #indieweb-dev and a couple others.
None of them are nearly as popular as ##chat, though.
I've made a lot of changes today to try and improve the clarity of a site I'm building to help people to escape scrolling and connect with the small web: quietportal.com
Any feedback, especially on whether you feel the user interface and the purpose of the site are clear and easy to understand is very welcome #blog #blogging #indieweb
I didn’t become a web developer by following a roadmap.
No YouTube. No AI.
Just browser games, “View Source,” broken layouts, PHP files I didn’t understand, and years of figuring out how browsers and servers actually talk to each other.
This is a personal, pre-AI look at what web development really is and what still matters today.

“We have been asked to build the same B2B SaaS website with the same featureset n^∞ times, and our answers for the optimal way to do that are increasingly limited. We’ve penned all of our markup into JavaScript templates just in case a product manager needs the wrapper component to post JSON somewhere down the line, and we’ve whittled away at style code until it’s just a mechanism for deploying one of two border-radius-drop-shadow combos to divs. It’s an industrial, production-minded way of approaching a discipline that has all the hallmarks of being a great craft, and that’s understandably uninspiring to many of us.”

TFW you get halfway down an online essay, see one single image, and your creepypasta-rotted brain immediately goes, “Wait. Wut.”

Glutamine is an amino acid that's vital for many bodily functions, including protein synthesis, immune support, and gut health. It plays a crucial role in recovering from stress and injury, providing energy to cells, especially in the intestines and immune system.
