ActivityPub, the Fediverse, the IndieWeb/Open Media Network, and Techno Anarchism = Punk Rock
The premise of this article is that developing or using ActivityPub tools, participating in the Fediverse, publishing to the Indie Web / Open Media Network, and adopting the arsenal of the Techno Anarchist Manifesto are the new punk.

1. an idea for a name and a website
2. a desire to create and express yourself, independently of social media
If you start with (1), have an idea for a domain name, find one, and buy it, then you need a place to direct it to.
The simplest next step is setting up a content hosting service, and configuring it with your new domain name.
If you start with (2), a desire to create and publish, then similarly, the simplest first step is to set up a content hosting service.
Either way, you should choose a service that supports custom domain names.
Had a great chat with Joe Crawford (@artlung.com) this morning about the many ways people find their way to the indieweb, and set up their own indieweb site.
We talked about the challenges of attaching a domain name to a service, and how that could be better documented and explained.
Subsequently Joe took the initiative to create a new "custom domain name" page on the IndieWeb wiki to help consider and choose a content hosting service that supports custom domains:
* https://indieweb.org/custom_domain_name
There are both free options and paid options depending on what kind of features, user experience, and support you want.
Most paid options cost less than a latte a month, certainly less than monthly mobile phone or video streaming fees.
Know other content hosting services that support custom domain names?
Add them to the wiki page!
And if you prefer to install and run your own content management software or create your one yourself, you can do that too:
* https://indieweb.org/CMS
If you do create one, watch out for spending more time coding than writing.
Or code away! It’s your site, code, write, mix it up as you wish.

I'm closing out August by updating my /now/ page.
Projects:
- An experimental visitor push-pin-map on my website (try it out!)
- Lots of household fixes
Media:
- Finished Shorefall - Book 2 of Robert Bennet Jackson's Founders Trilogy (Starting Locklands Book 3), and finished AI Engineering
- Watched The Odyssey
- Listened to a lot of The DOS Gaming Club podcast (@dosgameclub )
- Played Elden Ring, Stardew Valley, and a little Valheim
And I clipped some articles about:
- identifying psychopaths
- etiquette
- digital security
- Systems
...and other going-ons - but I'd really love for you to try out the visitor push-pin map!
