The /now page got a full refresh for the month, and... it's a lot less cynical than last month's.

We’re new here and still figuring things out 🙂
Thinking about running our own Mastodon server, maybe one day in the future.

How difficult is it in reality?
Costs, maintenance, risks — any advice?

Also — how do you find or build communities here? Like groups?

Also — where do conversations actually happen here?

Last year I did a #bikepacking tour, just me, my #bicycle and a tent. For this month's #indieweb carnival topic #adventure I made a small #post on my #blog
If you've got some time to calm down, you can give it a read.

Writing is a craft and I respect that. But I also believe the value of a thought is not determined by the elegance of its expression and that the open web should be for everyone. (560 words)

Nous avons branché le site des @lesplebeiens.fr au Fediverse avec le service #Indieweb de @swentel. La prochaine étape sera d'adapter le site au langage #ActivityPub, avec son module dédié sur #Drupal. Remarquable travail de ce développeur #Swentel.

I’ve blurted out a few posts over the past week, and it feels really good.

It declutters my mind from those pesky distractions, it keeps me focused and gives me a nice dopamine boost.

Being the only person in charge of the voice, tone and direction of my posts also makes me particularly nimble 🐒

100% no ragrets on allowing myself to publish short-form content on my site

I wrote some thoughts on using AI to enhance writing.

As this is a response to an author who uses this method, I'm hoping my response is respectful and if anyone else replies to them we should be kind.

We are all learning to coexist with these new technologies, and the only way to find what works for us is through edifying conversations.

I've come across some blogs on powRSS that talk about how AI is assisting their writing, like creating outlines, cleaning up dictated drafts, suggesting critiques, etc.

To me this seems like a way of removing the human aspect of writing.

I want to hear your opinions.

Should AI-assisted writing be discouraged or removed from powRSS?

#indieweb #blogs

Yes, remove it
Allow it
Discourage it but leave it alone

Ok so my #indieWeb plans to use #Dreamwidth for blogging, my #neocities as a less frequently updated collection or archive of art, presentations, 3D designs, vids, etc. Spent a lot of time this evening fashioning my DW to match my site's aesthetic. Really looking forward to this now!

It's motivated me to revisit my choice for using #GoogleSheets & #notion for publishable charts & databases & web bookmarks tho. Any beloved free alternative recs for those things? (Remember #delicious? 🤌😭)

I've added some data analysis into my training log so that it can total up and average out across months and years - only from 2024 onwards until I format and add earlier data.

I just released Retro Garden, a new open source Eleventy theme that mixes IndieWeb publishing habits with playful early-web energy.

It includes WebC components, RSS + JSON feeds, OG image generation, palette switching, read time, share links, Tailwind 4, and accessible defaults.

I wrote a short launch post here:

How Microsoft abuses its users

Why I think Microsoft and other large technology companies are actively hostile to their users.

I was talking about Single Serve Sites, single page sites that focus on a single subject. Someone shared with me a site about their love of an old Casio watch and compared it to their new Apple Watch. It had a black background.

I’m not even sure where this took place, and it might have been an email, but if it was on here, and you know what I’m talking about, please send me the link.

New by me: Building More Than Blog Posts

I shared a more transparent look at what I’m building around CybersecKyle, how it connects to my Security How-To series, and the kinds of practical resources I want to create beyond regular blog posts.

This is something I’ve been thinking through carefully, and I wanted to put the plan into words.

I'd entirely forgotten that it's CSS Naked Day today, when participating websites remove their CSS entirely and allow the content to shine through like it's 1993.

My blog is one of the sites participating: https://imrannazar.com

Remember y'all! It's #CSSNakedDay

Go ahead and show off that <body> !!

You can check my website, but you probably need to delete the cache from it to see it's pure HTML form :P
