Hello fedi friends!

A while back you'd followed an account for the Just a Spec Podcast all about "vanilla" #WebDev and standards, hosted by @jaredwhite & @ayush.

That account has migrated to this one, now featuring all of the Intuitive Future podcast productions! Just a Spec is currently still on hiatus, but Ayush will be making a guest appearance on "Vibe Coded" (named so ironically…IYKYK) in the very near future.

So stay tuned and thank you for your support of our #IndieWeb productions!

Sal jumped ship from Bear to 11ty and Cloudflare, triggering my recurring “what if Micro.blog explodes?” angst. I do love it here, but as they say: it’s not if, it’s when. But who wants to manage more server stuff? I already break my Emacs config too often.

Do you know of any projects, groups or communities that care about digital sustainability, keeping older computers working, maintaining legacy software, getting off the merry-go-round of continually needing to have the latest or just wanting to support the GNU fundamental freedom of being able to study and change a program in source code form? If so, please share links or info.

I neither have the time nor the mood to write at length lately. To adapt to the current circumstances and to inspire myself, I try to find the brightest spots of each passing day and record them. I’m not sure how frequently I’ll update this monthly post, but I’ll try my best.

Someone today called Driftya “a softer and gentle version of Omegle.”

Not a comparison I expected, but I understand what they meant. Driftya also lets strangers cross paths, but the safety parts have to be easy to find: hide, report, block.

When someone reports content, it should be hidden for them right away, with a clear option to block too. Self-moderation should not be buried.

One of the things I love most about the personal web is not being beholden to conventional web development practices. Case in point: I *could* have used JavaScript to build a tag filtering system for my links page, but I used YAML and Liquid instead, because why not? Building static websites without JS is fun!

So, yesterday I fell into an urge to update my online profiles. I wanted to check my bento page, and surprisingly discovered bento is no more, bought up by the devil LinkTree...

To make up for that, I decided to rebuild my links page and used wwwobble.org to do so!

It was a fun experience and my links page is now live at https://kirayana.codeberg.page/links/links.html
(and also accessible from my profile)

HTML is cool

I miss the "old internet" and I'm thinking aloud trying to work out how I fix that.

Why am I writing a blog in 2026?



It took a surprising amount of effort to move off the sofa where I was scrolling the hashtag #indieweb on Mastodon and come back to this site to actually post something. I bought this domain back when the .cymru TLD first became available and then somehow platforms not webpages because everyone's default thirdspace on the internet and I never really used it.

I worked in education at the time and read all the drama about how it was all eroding kids' abilty to focus and so forth and having […]

Last week I did some work on how images are used on this site. I added support for multi-photo posts, allowing other post types to declare their connections to images, and articles can have featured images now.

Content warning:indieweb tech: micropub

I'm making some progress on my micropub endpoint based on the https://go.hacdias.com/indielib library.

I can now use my endpoint for IndieAuth, and store posts on the filesystem, in the custom TOML page format I use. I'm having some trouble with the `micropub?q=config` route, and haven't started working on git sync or the media endpoint yet. One step at a time.

The main issue that's holding me back now, is that it's really hard to test if everything works as intended. I've been testing using Quill and Sparkles via my server now, but it's less than ideal to not be able to test it locally. Any advice would be appreciated 😅

Also, https://micropub.rocks doesn't work for me at all, because it doesn't use PCKE apparently.

But the clients are way easier than how I was updating my site until now, so I have enough motivation to keep at it!

Useful.

🌲 A quiet thank you to Nordic culture.
Inspired by northern values of honesty, integrity & quiet strength, I built a Norwegian version of RRR.MOM.
No tracking. No data collection. Just a calm space for stories, with Nordic proverbs & 100% client-side privacy.
