Good thread and discussion here tracing the history and uncertain future of the beautiful, decentralized open web.

Choosing the right hosting matters.

A Micro VPS delivers stability, isolation, and real control for websites that matter.

Who says I canโ€™t make the #IndieWeb feel like Star Trek??

Static websites are the future. Not every site needs to be dynamically generated. Having a #blog served by a complex CMS like WordPress feels unnecessary after using #11ty .

Compute is growing in cost and becoming scarce. Why waste it on sites suited for static generation?

Plus, who wants to host a server with a database, a CMS, a bunch of plugins and all the security headaches that comes with it? #SSG #IndieWeb #Blogging

Today's #ScreenshotSaturday! We've started a new series on our brand new #blog called #ShiritaiYokaiShokai, where we introduce different yลkai that appear in #Hamayumishi. This time is the fearful Otoroshi! Or is that Osoroshi? Whatever it is, it's terrifying!

I miss this pre-Web 2.0 era of the internet when going to websites and forums -- rather than monolithic, walled garden social networks -- was the norm.

However, the indie web, and fediverse have been bringing a lot of that feeling of originality and purpose back and I'm grateful for it.

If you want to sample some of the creative sites people are currently making, I suggest checking out: https://nekoweb.org/explore

Inspired by some #indieweb folks creating /caw pages on their websites, I made one of my own! Here you can listen to the most recent crow recorded from my house:

Itโ€™s Friday and that means itโ€™s time for a lighthearted argument on the internet! This came up on the #IndieWeb IRC so you get it here too ๐Ÿ˜†

The topic: is a hotdog a sandwich?

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.
