I talked the talk.
I did some work on the #backend, and improved the #UX for minimal browsers like #Dillo, #NetSurf and #RetroZilla.
IndieAuth is a federated login protocol for Web sign-in, enabling users to use their own domain to sign in to other sites and services. IndieAuth can be used to implement #OAuth2 login AKA OAuth-based login.
#IndieAuth is built on ideas and technology from existing proven technologies like OAuth and #OpenID but makes it easier for users as well as developers. It decentralizes much of the process so completely separate implementations and services can be used for each part.
My group chat is dead now. Instead of disbanding it, I would rather keep it for the long term, like it's my own group chat. It's just like Dota 2, which was not so popular until years later.

«Building a decentralized bulletin board (and accidentally reinventing Nostr)»
Let's build a bulletin board with no account, no sign-up, and no single server behind it. By the time we finish, we'll have accidentally reinvented two technologies that already existed: FidoNet (1984) and Nostr.

A social platform should be a place of publication, not the sole custodian of what I publish there.
I have released the Huginn → WordPress machinery behind my own Social Posts archive as a sanitized, platform-agnostic PESOS template. Built with ChatGPT.
Chris is hosting this month's IndieWeb Carnival and asked us to write about purpose.
I chose to write about the importance of discussions in open web instead of private, walled gardens.

Kree, jaffa! I collected a few Stargate-like games I've tried. Which games would you add to the list?

A lot of discussions about markdown happen and it was time to write up my markdown apps I use now and how and why.

Oh, what a day! Spent afternoon trying to make #ghost connecting with #activitypub (so far, no success), my #ssh connection keeps dropping off, so that needs fixing - but I am so looking forward to write and publish again...but this time, in my own, self-hosted corner of the #internet .
Nobody around me thinks of the #digitalsovereignty , so it's time to let people know why it's important.
Also looking into #SmallWeb , #indieweb , #blogroll and connected topics.
Fascinating stuff.
“We’ve all been trained to believe, that in this age of social media, engagement is king. If you’re not engaging, how will you possibly influence anyone? It’s all meant to be quite personal, isn’t it? A lot of back and forth, with easy access to the author, and everyone free to comment on anything they like. We leveled the playing field and now the fans are on the field pretending they can play.”
