New blog post, talking about my impressions of Super Mariomon, a Pokemon hack that is so good it feels like it could be a real release!

Last weekend, I enjoyed a solar-powered boat ride across "Pantano del Tranco" (Tranco Reservoir) in Cazorla, Jaén Spain 😍🌲⛰️🌊🧘♂️

The Web And Standards September Useful Posts blogging challenge
Or the #WASSUP challenge for short.
I really enjoyed the #Blaugust blogging challenge last month (31 posts ✅ — summary in another post), and not feeling a resonance with the two prior September challenges noted on the IndieWeb wiki, decided to come up with my own. Iterated on some ideas yesterday until arriving at WASSUP (yes, as a backronym, inspired somewhat by WHATWG which also has WHATNOT and WHATUP meetings).
Similar to Blaugust:
* 30 posts during the month of September (1 per day if you wish, or double/triple-up to get ahead or catch-up)
Topic:
* Anything *useful* (features, tips) about open web standards, the open web as a whole, web browsers, or web services like search engines.
Hashtags:
* #WASSUP #WASSUP2026
And that’s it.
If those are topics you already blog about, great, join in using the hashtags and share what you find useful about them!
Otherwise, take a look at how you frequently use the Web, and post what you have found useful, especially the most useful for you.
Blog clever tips about how you have made better use of the Web, web browsers, search engines etc.
If you’re a web developer or designer, share what you find most useful about web standards, your choice, either in their entirety or of individual features, like HTML elements, attributes, CSS properties, Selectors, DOM features, WebAPIs, standard media formats on the web, etc.
Let’s see what positive pragmatic things we can share with each other about the web and how it works in practice.

🎬 Watched “Triumph of the Nerds” — 5/5
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115398/
I don't know if it's nostalgia, but I love watching these kinds of documentaries that take you on a journey through time and help you see things in perspective. It is available on YouTube: Triumph of the Nerds + Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet

This weekend we went to Cazorla, and from Iruela Castle, we could see a goat peeking out to take in the view from a cliff

There are many paths onto the #indieweb. Two of the most common:
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.

Welcome to September! Time for a new blogging challenge for the month. After some ideation, here’s my proposed September blogging challenge, on topics I find myself reading and posting about, with an emphasis on pragmatism:

RE: https://sunny.garden/@Carl/117195968382180393
Earlier I did my first ever live audio stream from a pub garden using my own #indieweb site and server. It felt liberating doing it away from the corporate internet. The archive of the stream is on my site. Thinking about podcasting these streams.
