Apathetic, Intentionally. Why I don't block AI scrapers on my website. | đź”— https://brennan.day/apathetic-intentionally-why-i-dont-block-ai-scrapers-on-my-website/

I've got a problem. I've recently added the following CSS to my site, which automatically adds an arrow symbol after outgoing links.

a[href^="http"]:not(:has(img))::after {
content: "â­ś";
}

- The good thing: It works. Yay.
- The problem: It adds a gap between the line of thext the link is in and the one below. You can see examples on
my links page.
- The questions: Why? And is there a way to get rid of that gap? It seems to be connected to the arrow symbol itself? Can that be? I don't even know how to look for solutions. Does anyone have a tip on where to look for one?

Edit: Maybe I should add that this is happening in Firefox. It does not happen in Safari on my phone, but there the arrow isn't visible to begin with. Different problem.

After so many years as an open source contributor and builder of things I actually think I have actually built something that is useful for a larger group. Still in the domain of #slowweb #indieweb and #selfhosting. I am sorting the hosting part out now and hope to release the service somewhere next week

Why #DMCA is bad for #web, specially #IndieWeb.

I had a covid19 stories archive online running since 2020. I got the DMCA take down today. I have it offline currently.

What's interesting is the legal agency cant act on behalf of Network18 as the contract has expired. This is from their authorization letter.

I’m doing my best to abandon corporate media as quickly as possible, but would like to replace my audience somehow for readership purposes, not financial. Readers are more important than money in this arena. I make money doing other things. I write to express myself.

It’s all free. The signup just gives you automated emails when new stories show up. Nothing else.

Please click, like, share, and boost. :)

How I find Inspiration https://britthub.co.uk/how-i-find-inspiration/

Zachary Kai recently asked if I’d like to be on a list of people willing to trade blog post titles. Of course I said yes, I really enjoyed our trade last year and would love to do more. Soon after James got in touch to offer a trade. I asked him if there was a […]

Hi, Fediverse and especially #envs pubnixers!

As you might have noticed, I moved my account from @fab to @dan. So it's time for a new #introduction!

I'm very sceptical about the corporate web social media and I always avoided Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and things like that like the plague. But the Fediverse isn't bound to corporate interests, federates and can be self hosted. These things made it interesting. And I was curious, so I made an account on the pleroma.envs.net instance of the envs.net pubnix.

I wanted to join a pubnix for a very long time and did a lot of research for the right one and I think I found the right one with #envs. My fellow pubnixers and tildizens seem to be a bunch of very nice and helpful folks, and I already made a lot of good experiences. But I had to choose the username 'dan', because 'fab' was already taken. So my shell account is now 'dan@envs.net' just like my email address and my webpage, Gopher Hole and Gemini Capsule can be found under the username ~dan. But I still had the @fab Mastodon/ActivityPub account, so I decided now to move to the new account @dan to make all my accounts with the same username on envs.net.

As I told in my previous introduction, I'm an enthusiastic computer, GNU/Linux and *BSD hobbyist, although I never worked in the IT field professionally. I like to tinker around with my little homelab and my own VPS servers running FreeBSD. I'm also interested in the #smolnet / #indieweb. And since Mon, 12 Jan 2026 I'm a proud member of the envs.net pubnix/tilde, where I can make some experiences on a shared multiuser Linux system with other makers, tinkerers, computer hobbyists and professionals, and other like-minded folks which is very intriguing.

I'm especially at home in the shell and keyboard-centric environments like AwesomeWM, which I use on all of my workstations running Artix Linux (OpenRC). I always prefer simple TUI/CLI programs over bloated GUI applications. My interest in different programming languages is diverse, be it Go, bash/sh, Rust, Python or even Perl. I try to use the language which fits best to the problem. But all I know about computers, Linux, Unix and the *BSDs I've learned-by-doing or to solve a specific problem or need.

I hope to have a lot of fun in the long-run on the envs.net pubnix/tilde, and that we're having a good time together.

That's it for my introduction for now, although I don't know if I'll post regularly on the Fediverse. You can always contact me on XMPP with my JID 'dan@envs.net' or via email too, if you like. So have fun!

Best wishes,
~dan
