My KeePass and Syncthing setup

How I sync passwords across my laptop, desktop, and phone using KeePassXC and Syncthing, plus a couple bash scripts I wrote to handle masked emails (like 1Password's feature) and merge sync conflicts.

Dear WebMention users, please ask more open-ended questions

I love using WebMention, but I find so few posts that I feel I can reply to. I am desperately hungry for WebMention content that asks open-ended questions I can reply to.

I follow the Open Mentions WebMention topic closely (I follow them all because I made it), so ping something there or WebMention this post if your site is rich with fun stuff I can respond to.

I updated my website to remove the graphic links on the Updates feed and add thumbnails to post lists. https://futurehorizondesign.net.au/posts/2026-05-23-Website-Cleanup-The-Updates-Feed.html

Started my evening looking up gardening tips. Got sidetracked and spent an hour engrossed in this article by Olia Lialina from 2020 concerning personal webpages and the ongoing history the World Wide Web: https://interfacecritique.net/book/olia-lialina-from-my-to-me/

#olialialina #indieweb #geocities #oldweb #worldwideweb #internethistory

site updates:
- removed unused CSS classes from the top navigation menu.
- added `:active` and `:focus` states to links.
- all links are now underlined. increases visual highlighting, while preserving the site's minimal design.
- also working on a print stylesheet, but this is challenging for edge cases like my mastodon server guide. `break-after: avoid` isn't working for headings.

I like this quote from The Boring Internet (about how a lot of it's still around, just overshadowed by the glitzy, extractive, corporate net, and we can still build on top of that foundation)

The boring internet isn't protected by innocence. It's protected by awkwardness.

also:

Every property that made these protocols feel old and uncool to you in 2014 is part of what's keeping them alive in 2026.

“Weekly Notes 21/2026” by Thejesh GN

@thej: «I was in Chennai for the first half of the week. I couldn’t get a confirmed 1st or 2nd class train ticket. So I had to fly from Kochi. It’s such a waste of time and money. Chennai is hot, hotter than…»

two years ago i finally lost my mind dealing with wordpress and markdown for clients.

it forced me to write an entire website construction kit in php from scratch (kiki). it forced me to learn how to write a customizable markup language (bug). all so i would never have to touch wordpress and markdown ever again.

https://tomotama.com/kiki

two years later, there are now dozens of kiki instances run by sysop-admins around the world. it's incredibly gratifying to see the web made less shitty by just elbow grease and diy learning. the instance admins are a blend of writers and coders who painstakingly find bugs, dig into the source, and inspectorgadget workarounds. improving it and patching it is a lifelong commitment, even if it doesn't pay the bills.

in the coming week is a feature that 0.01% of users will take advantage of, but i'm so happy to add it, to keep the dream of an indie web alive: kiki will now generate RSS 2.0 compliant podcast feeds. i thought regular old web RSS was bad. but RSS for podcasts is about 10x worse 😅

the attached screenshot is a new site i'm building with kiki 1.2.0, which autogenerated a podcast feed using metadata in each post.

this morning i'm updating a client's wordpress site, and for all my moaning about how bad RSS is, i can't believe how much worse wordpress is. 😆
