The most exciting thing to me about #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse is that they also connect #blogs, #RSS, and #indieweb social mentions to #socialmedia in an open, interoperable way.

Frustrating, though, that mainstream users tend to ignore noncommercial solutions that aren't aggressively trying to attract them, especially when the onboarding experience is so confusing to newbies. Even if our tech platforms are ready for prime time, the human networks are only early adopter types.

Revamped my domain name site https://rmendes.net

plan to use it like a live CV showcasing work related stuff
couldn’t resist to play with the code and implement #indieweb using #go existing libraries
also has webmentions support, feel free to test :)

The internet used to be a collection of homes.
Now it's a row of malls.
We traded the hobbyist era for corporate walled gardens. ICQ is dead, Skype is dead, and the open web is being strip-mined for data.

But remember: the #hashtag was born in 1980s IRC rooms, not a Silicon Valley PR firm.

The Fediverse isn't just a trend - it's a return to what made the web work in the first place.

Protocols over platforms. Always.

"Un año sin servicios de streaming"

📝 New post: "Syndicating posts to mastodon via the gitlab pipeline"

POSSE worflow got an upgrade https://grgml.xyz/blog/syndicating-posts-to-mastodon-via-the-gitlab-pipeline/ #posse #indieweb

THE COVETED GREEN CHECK MARK!! ✅

this also means that... I have successfully moved hosting providers!! 🎉

and my new (paid) provider is of course *not* blocking verification requests.

I ran into some configuration issues initially, but beyond those, it was a remarkably smooth process! I'm glad I pulled the trigger. No it's not free hosting, but it is Canadian, and MUCH faster.

I plan on writing up a more detailed blog post Soon! ™️

WEB DAY! A week from Saturday, on Jan 24th, 2-5pm, Albina Library Rm 2A.

Last time, we discovered how to play ANY Flash game from our childhoods and shared our nostalgic 2 player experiences together on one keyboard. Magical.

Then we surfed web rings, fed digital pets, and explored historic Portland data maps. What will we do this time at WEB DAY? Come find out!

Like most of us, I’ve been re-thinking my relationship with my phone. Because it suuuuucks.

I started a new section of my blog this year, for non-music-related posts. This is my second ever entry:

The Anxiety Machine: your phone does bad magic

I’ve published a new piece on free vs paid email — not a “which is best” take, but a look at incentives, lock-in, support, and long-term control.

There’s never been a better time to learn a little about nearly everything in web technology. 2026 will be a year for generalists and new tools that span platforms. And yet I see folks on the fediverse who have strong opinions about Bluesky without really understanding why it exists or how it works.
