Currently dirtier than the Gestapo, can the Toronto Police refresh their image with the recruit of a sensational new Mascot? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/en/articles/canadian-democracy-at-risk-while-toronto-mobs-rule.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

#halfquill update!

Email notifications are in. You'll now hear about it when someone adds to a story you're part of.

Also: this wraps up the first week of testing. Huge thanks to everyone who tried it out and shared their thoughts. Development continues, just at a calmer pace.

ok so here's a thought, re group chat design: combine irc with a wiki.

why?
- groups rot because bad actors don't get kicked early and often
- its not a harmless matter to kick someone because you're also robbing them of their own chatlogs
- which is only a problem because we expect everything to be logged serverside now
- which is a major selling point that allows long-term groups to thrive, so i can't just get rid of it

here's my proposed alternative:
- irc chat, client-side automatic logging. if you get kicked you keep your logs.
- if you're idle for more than, i dunno, 14 days, you get auto-kicked, to protect the privacy of others
- you can still receive dms, in case someone needs to ping you
- here's the big new feature that would be work to implement though: a bot command allowing you to post something and say, basically, "clip this", and it gets sent to a wiki page somewhere
- the wiki then acts as a replacement for pinned messages, info channels, and other "persistent" chat stuff
- if its not on the wiki and nobody logged it, it disappears, this is by design! Chats do not need to last forever!

has this been done before? I want to hear your thoughts!

i just released version 1 of acmlmBoard 3 after about a month of intensive, unemployment-flavored passion.

i am going to deploy this to the production environment this weekend and bring some friends in to do some stress testing. it is a unique piece of forum software that has a raft of charming features you won't see anywhere else.

if any of y'all on here know me from that era, check out the changelist:

Endgame for the Open Web - Anil Dash

"But ultimately what matters is power. It is precisely because technologies like LLMs have powers that the authoritarians have rushed to try to take them over and wield them as effectively as they can. I don't think that platforms owned and operated by those bad actors can be the tools that disrupt their agenda. I do think it might be possible that the creative communities that built the web in the first place could use their same innovative spirit to build what could be, for lack of a better ..."

Big update on my website:
- I added a whole bunch of new links, including a new section of links.
- I re-worked my Trek section.
- I updated some other pages.
- I exchanged almost all images by smaller or dithered (and smaller) versions.

I made my own webring: https://tar.dev/webring/join.php

I think webrings are an awesome way to connect an indie website to other people’s corners of the interwebs. It’s always fun to find a website I wouldn’t have found otherwise, just because the algorithm doesn’t know I would be interested in seeing it. So, wanting to make another chain of connections, I made this webring that you can join if you have a SFW website

Added this page to the online services section of my documentation website. It's a list of free (also ad-free) and mostly temporary file-sharing websites run by volunteers or small teams (it seems). Let me know if there are others that I should include in my list.

I added a couple of new things to my #PersonalWebsite, an Upvote button inspired by @eclecticpassions and a "This week in other years" section featuring posts from years before made in the same calendar week (despite 500+ posts I still don't have enough for an "On This Day" kinda thing).

I'll write a quick post about these later :P

Getting steady blog traffic but barely any email subscribers?

This usually isn’t a traffic problem — it’s a conversion problem. Small things like weak CTAs, poor placement, or no clear incentive can make a big difference.

I put together a breakdown of the most common reasons and fixes:

So... I'm currently working on an app I'm calling "speakEZ". It's a personal, kinda-discord replacement.
- invite-only chat
- built on Cloudflare Workers (free tier), KV, and Durable Objects
- async ed25519 passphrase auth (phrase never stored or seen outside of your brain)
- No accounts, no database
- WebSockets, markdown, image uploads
- WebRTC p2p voice channels
- tdd unit/e2e
