2026 Weeks 3 & 4

https://blog.lmorchard.com/2026/01/23/w04/

TL;DR: We lost Catsby, which sucks completely. 3D printing experiments with glow-in-the-dark filament and blacklight LEDs. Discovered Pangolin for homelab tunnel magic. Pondering SID chip replacements for the C64. Brief flirtations with Animal Crossing and Persona 5. Links about woodworking, AI slop, silicon ice age nightmares, and other assorted topics.

Digital Self-Reliance: Audio Edition

As we continue to move into 2026, I want to talk about my continued journey towards digital self-reliance. This time, I am focusing on my audio needs.

Good analysis from Laurens Hofs on ICE getting a verified badge on Bluesky and the resulting fallout. It underscores some confusion in the fediverse about what Bluesky is:

When fediverse users say they don’t want to be bridged to Bluesky, they’re applying an ActivityPub mental model to ATProto infrastructure. In one sense this is a bit of a category error, the bridge connects to networking infrastructure, not the application.

He doesn’t let Bluesky off the hook either, though. Good points on how ICE presence alone (without any posts) is a fear tactic.

Someone just donated to goingdark.social for the first time.

I'm not gonna lie. running this instance takes work. Infrastructure doesn't maintain itself, storage costs money, and keeping things running smoothly isn't always easy.

This made my whole week. Thank you @lor, seriously. 🙌

Success! I got my website configured to post to the Fediverse. I was previously doing POSSE (Post on your Own Site Sindicate Elsewhere) via RSS and Azure Logic Apps, that was just posting links to posts on my website and I had to run a separate Mastodon server. Now, the post itself is a Note in the Fediverse and my website itself is a node on the Fediverse. That means I should be able to get rid of my Mastodon instance. Since it was a single-user instance, this solution works just as well if not better. It's a bit hacky for now but I got it working by stitching together Azure Functions APIs in Azure Static Web Apps and cron jobs using GitHub Actions.


Here's what a recent post looks like in the Mastodon timeline.

Where can I get a hit counter gif from the 90s web era? I don't need an accurate hit counter just one that emulates the look

… und Blogs liest eh niemand – mkln.org

Drüben bei Michael ist ein langer guter Text erschienen, zum Thema 'eigene Website' und 'bloggen':

Wer einen Blogbeitrag veröffentlicht, will gelesen werden. Die Motivation dazu erfolgt ohne Eile und ohne Druck, getragen vom Willen zur Veröffentlichung. Social Media folgt einer anderen Logik. Dort dominiert die Lust auf Reaktion. Sie zwingt die User, die Regeln der Plattform-Ökonomie zu verinnerlichen. Sie spüren, dass etwas nicht stimmt, interagieren aber eifrig weiter und akzeptieren, dass ihre Inhalte zu Wegwerfprodukten werden und die Entwicklung eines Gedankens irrelevant ist. Das ist das exakte Gegenteil des Bloggens.
(…)Immerhin ist der Blogbeitrag das Epitom des Internets: ein unter einer stabilen URL frei abrufbarer, unabhängig ausgelieferter, einer Person zurechenbarer Inhalt. (…)
Während Blogbeiträge für die Ewigkeit geschrieben werden, sind Mitteilungen in sozialen Medien – der inhärenten Logik der Plattformen folgend – Wegwerfprodukte. Wenn ich mir das vor Augen führe, ist das Posten auf Social Media nicht nur in übertragenem Sinne, sondern auch faktisch verschwendete, vergeudete Zeit. Die Inhalte dort sind ein Strohfeuer, Blogbeiträge hingegen glühende Kohlen.
Beides hat seine Existenzberechtigung, ja, in gewisser Weise gibt es sogar eine Abhängigkeit beider zueinander. Aber eines ist deswegen nicht „veraltet“ oder in sonst einer Form passé. Das eine ermöglicht Dinge, die das andere verunmöglicht. (…)

mkln.org

Da schwingt sehr viel mit, was auch als Motivation und Philosophie beim Indieweb zugrunde liegt.

In an effort to create and provide better articles on my blog, especially those related to cybersecurity and tech, I want to get your feedback on what type of articles y’all would like to see.

So, let me know below the types, series, etc. that I can write about.

Feel free to share to help spread across the #fediverse.

Digitale Souveränität beginnt damit, die Hoheit über die eigenen Computer, Programme und Daten zurückzugewinnen. Brecht aus den Silos aus und kommt zu uns ins 21. Jahrhundert, ins #SmallWeb, #indieweb und #fediverse. Ihr seid in bester Gesellschaft mit #opensource und Graswurzelbewegungen wie #citizenscience. Hier wird die Innovativ betrieben, die Europa so dringend braucht. Und ja, das kann auch Kommerz bedeuten, das Fediverse ist bunt. Es gibt viel Platz für Medienschaffende!

Rebuilding the indieweb one tendril at a time.

This is what we need to do. Rebuild the internet, reclaim the word social in social media and put people before platforms.

We must uncouple our attention from the tech-bro, elitist, narrative-controlling monopolies1 and get back to building individual, independant website presences. The indieweb.

Sites that are shared and aggregated by RSS feeds, collected into like-minded groups by webrings, boosted with decentralised social media platforms such as Mastodon, and cross-pollinated with interlinks and cross site conversations from individual posts.

Subvert, bypass, and starve the big platforms of their attention oxygen. Let them suffocate in a circle-jerk of AI generated slop.

There is now a growing movement of people dumping the scroll-gatekeepers, and building their own cheap, simple (often retro looking) independant websites.

Here is an example: Daryl Sun has a simple site that is packed with information and interesting links for anyone spending a little time to click rather than scroll (just like here).

In the spirit of re-wilding the web and creating interesting tendrils, I have updated my own ABOUT PAGE to let you know far more about me than you ever knew you wanted to know. It is a work in progress and will grow over time.

Another great example is Brennan, who writes some really interesting stuff and has recently begun moving his focus from posting on Medium to growing his independent site.

He always has tons of interesting outgoing links, is a member of a heap of webrings, as well as including a slash page of all his interests and projects.

I am gaining a lot of inspiration from this movement and urge you to consider dropping out of the shittosphere of big social media and spending that newfound scroll time creating your own independent online presence.

Let us tear the whole thing down and rebuild it fit for purpose.

If you already have a indie website drop me a link in the comments….I would love to follow and share.
