I have made some updates to the website, including the addition of a guestbook, if anyone would like to drop by and leave a note. It’s so hard to track engagement by readers, especially people who use RSS readers, so I try to allow for a variety of ways for the reader to engage. It means a lot to people like me who are often creating alone in a room somewhere.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@kottke/116161259910377509

My (very small, powerless) kingdom for an iOS app that scrobbles to an arbitrary URL. Sure Last.fm is decent but I want to #indieweb -ify my scrobbles and send them somewhere I own.

If an app can send structured data to Last.fm, it surely must be able to send to a URL I specify in settings.

the shock pikachu face I had when someone emailed due to broken formatting on my RSS feed(s).

I checked and fixed my whole website on the envs pubnix with 'npm exec html-validate'. No more warnings unless they're expected, like empty <a> tags, which are needed for webmentions on pages, blog posts and notes.

I restructured the CSS stylesheets, but kept the look as good as I could like the envs main site. All bash and PHP/JavaScript scripts run as they should. My blog management scripts SHOULD work well enough and the written notes are always checked after editing with 'npm exec html-validate, so I can immediately spot any errors on the posts or notes before I really publish them and can defer/edit them again until no more errors occur.

I never built a complete website before and I'm really proud of it. Especially the integration for webmentions with ActivityPub support was not so easy, because I didn't want to use some fully developed blogging engine like Wordpress or something like this, which certainly have plugins for implementing webmentions and ActivityPub. I did this all by myself, allthough I'm using services like webmention.io and brid.gy. But the tools to post were developed by myself.

You can visit my page at https://dan.envs.net/ and have a look at it.

I updated my website a little and added some Thoughts on Star Trek to my blog.

FYI - If you use the eleventy-cache-webmentions plugin, Node 25.7.0 breaks it. You might not see it immediately unless you obsessively upgrade Node or you use a Github/Forgejo action to build such that Node gets installed every time.

If the latter, it should automatically get fixed because the next build should pull down the updated plugin. I experienced weird build failures over the weekend and it was because Node 25.7.0 no longer recognizes "grey" as a valid option in styleText. Computers are fun.

A question for my fellow indieweb/smolweb nerds



What are my (Linux) options for browsing things published via Gopher? Ideally, something with a GUI that can take over when the web browsers nopes out.

Gonna level with you. My lazy self would like to click a gopher link and have something open to show it to me.

Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: own your AT Protocol identity and data on your own infrastructure, not on bsky.social. Plan drafted, implementation to follow.

I spent a few days stress-testing my own search engine. 30 queries. I wrote down what broke.

Works: proper nouns, named concepts. Ibn Khaldun, Frantz Fanon, cognitive behavioral therapy. When the concept exists in the corpus and the query matches how the document talks about itself, BM25 is surprisingly good.

Breaks: compound technical terms. "Continuation passing style" returns cricket squads. "Trip hop" returns a transportation engineering textbook. BM25 doesn't know these are single concepts. It matches each word separately, and the result is wrong.

Breaks differently: queries where one word is dominated by a corpus domain. "Ranking" drowns in sports results tables. "Zoning" is a football tactic more than an urban planning concept. When you mix everything into one index, word frequencies get polluted across domains.

Simply absent: jazz theory, Renaissance painting, business strategy, music scenes. Not a ranking failure, a corpus gap. Worth naming honestly.

Google doesn't publish this kind of analysis. The failure modes are proprietary. Mine aren't. Babelia is worse than Google on many of these queries. But you can see why, and I think that's a different relationship with a tool.
