From today my personal site is now hosted on my VPS! I was using nekoweb, and I really love the community there but I also wanted to try dojng something new! With the restyle of my VPS I added a lot of services for me and my family (password manager, cloud for photo backup and mail service). Very happy...and it was so funny!

The journey continues!

Finally finished my post about the #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf 2026. I had such a great time there.

Already looking forward to IWC Nürnberg, still got some ideas on my todo list. #indieweb

Use Rosetta to run Terraform as x86_64 on Apple Silicon and avoid provider checksum mismatches.

Made a blog post about how to discover new music if you’re moving away from Spotify or other streaming services. There are a ton of posts around about how to own your music, but not as many about how to keep hearing new stuff, so I thought this might be helpful:

Catching up on WordPress.com Reader news, interesting that they based sync on Google Reader:

Any Google Reader-compatible app can now point at WordPress.com and use it as a sync backend. […] This wasn’t directly Fediverse work, but it’s part of the same idea: the Reader as a backend, not a destination. If your reading habit lives in a different app, that’s fine. Your subscriptions still live on WordPress.com.

When I bulit the API for Inkwell, I decided to pattern it after Feedbin’s API instead of Google Reader. Just seemed right.

Noch einmal: Zurück in die 90er (mit dem IndieWeb)

Das von mir hier frisch, aber spät entdeckte »IndieWeb« als eine Community, die unabängige und persönliche Webseiten ohne Sinn und Verstand (und vor allem auch ohne Kommerzdruck) zusammenbastelt, fasziniert mich. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026050602_indieweb/ #IndieWeb #Medien #DigitalesLeben #StatischeSeiten #Webworking

@jtr I've put together a list of the #indieweb finds from the past few days here on my blog:

✍️ New post: Buckle Up

I recently added a “Failed Webmentions” view to my Craft CMS #Webmention plugin. Opened it before #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf and found line after line of automated probing. Just shipped v1.3.0 to deal with it and wrote a bit about it:

Another amazing visual essay by @tg. This section stood out for me:

"These aren’t acts of nostalgia. I don’t want to teleport to 1999 with a beige computer and pretend everything was better when getting online made a noise.

I am trying to build on the part of the internet that still has the properties I want software to have: durable, legible, user-shaped, hostile to enclosure, and quiet enough that a single person can still understand the whole thing."

I enjoyed reading James' post on the Indiewebcamp in Düsseldorf: https://jamesg.blog/2026/04/30/indiewebcamp-dusseldorf-2026

I also highly recommend checking the linked meeting notes on the wiki for website ideas: lots of interesting notions about what to put on your homepage, private posts etc. Seems like it was a great meetup.

This also made me realise I want to give implementing #micropub and #indieauth for my website another go. It isn't the easiest of protocols, last time I gave up. But I'd love to remove some friction of posting to my site (esp. images). Too bad there isn't a ready made Go project of these protocols, that builds a static site and syncs with Git. I'll try rolling my own again using https://pkg.go.dev/go.hacdias.com/indielib by @hacdias and see if I have better luck this time.

Let's imagine you have an old educational #podcast you’d like to revive.

Does the #Fediverse offer alternative models for #podcasting? Alternative platforms, infrastructures, funding models, or community-driven approaches?

I'm curious about ways of doing podcasting outside the usual ad/platform economy.

#Webmention for Craft v1.3.0 is out 🎉 – first in a short series of #security releases. 🔒

Fixes a stored XSS vulnerability in author/entry URLs, adds per-IP rate limits, and failure-backoff to harden the public endpoint against abuse.

Upgrade recommended!
