Nothing can we call our own but death and that small model of the barren earth which serves as paste and cover to our bones.

Indieweb book club: Log Off, Katherine Cross

When Log Off came out, it felt like a beautiful crossover: So of course, I had to get it, and I really enjoyed the read. So now, it’s your turn to read (and it’s okay if you hate it!) and share a bit about what you thought while reading the book, as part of the Indieweb Book Club for November 2026! Buy the book at Littlepuss Press: Read the book (or don’t, but post to explain why!). Then, post on your own blog: a full review, a quote, questions, anything that this book has prompted in […]

fun fact about Linkguard: there's no Linkguard server at all. It runs inside your own GitHub Actions, and the only thing that ever goes to archive.org is the link URL itself, never your files. No telemetry either.

I also changed my website configuration toward more private setup in terms of traffic tracking.

I invite you to read the blog 🫶🏻
It’s so fun to return to old format of personal blogs

I wrote up the full story of Persistwise on the blog. Most of us don't lose writing because we're careless. We lose it because the web is a rental, and the Wayback Machine only saves what someone asks it to save.

So Persistwise asks every time. It reads your RSS feed every 15 minutes and keeps three copies of each new post: a Wayback snapshot, an IPFS pin, and a saved copy.

Gonna head out on a dune walk shortly. Feel like having a ramble whilst I ramble. If you’re about in a bit, I’ll be live on my site for a podcast. If you miss it, no bother.

The Indieweb is great!

#fediverse@mastodon.social: The web used to be a collection of weird, passionate personal blogs built by people who just wanted to share things they loved.

No tracking pixels.

No endless algorithmic rage-bait.

No subscription paywalls for basic human thought.

We can actually build that back. Small web, local communities, open protocols.

Boost if you miss the old internet. 🌐✨

Once again #Youtube’s AI moderation has gone rogue and banned a a popular #vtuber, removing 6 years worth of content, despite the person in question having no warnings or strikes against their account.

The Moderator bot has summarily dismissed their review request without any human review.

And this is not the first time, nor will it be the last.

It shows the dangers of monopolies, and youtube has it in terms of recorded creator content.

Given that the YT Moderator bot seems to regularly target certain minorities, I am still surprised that these groups have not considered rolling out their own video-on-demand service like Peertube where they can control their own content,but I appreciate the reality is doing that costs money and advertising opportunities are harder, whereas YT will pay you for content through advertising with little effort.

I really wish that there were more Youtube alternatives out there that were “mainstream” enough to be able to be viable.
