Is there really no officially decided slash page for a book/reading log for #IndieWeb??? How is there a /blank page but no /book or /reading page?! Dumb.

I wrote this article as a primer for folks on how the "social networks"* keep us locked in. If you like it, consider sharing it with a friend who is new to the world of #privacy, the #fediverse, or getting off of billionaire/US tech.

*Also, why "legacy algorithmic media" may be a better term for the Facebooks and Xitters of the world.

Y hablando de buscar inspiraciĂłn para escribir, comparto estos dos links que son bastante similares, pero cada uno con su particularidad.

Earlier today I made a caw page that was a coloring page of a raven that you could download to share on your own website.

Building that inspired me to build something...

## IndieWeb.ink

This is a screenshoot of a test I did of `indieweb.ink`. It's a new #IndieWeb tool for creating and remixing photos. You login with your domain, upload a picture you want to share on your site for your visitors to remix (think coloring pages, but really... anything should work!), and…

I took a look at the vicious cycle of human psychology (rage, heightened emotions), content engagement, monetization, and algorithms.

Thursday evening #LongRead, anyone? Also includes lots of receipts if you'd like to go down a rabbit hole.

I created two, nicely designed web pages for a client today on a Wordpress platform from scratch. I didn’t write any code, and was using the Elementor plugin, but I used no themes or predesigned elements. Just created my own look and now I know i can do that, so that’s pretty interesting. Opens up a lot of possibilities for me.

If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.

To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.

Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.

This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.
