Made a little Bear plugin to make it easier to update your /now page.
On October 30 Google said it aims to support a shared robots.txt token for AI training preferences, built on IETF AIPREF work, together with other AI providers in 2027. Google-Extended stays for Google-only choices.
Little-known fact: Micro.blog’s Conversation.js feature works with any blog, hosted anywhere, as long as your blog is connected to Micro.blog. It’s sort of like the old Disqus in that way, but powered by Micro.blog and webmentions.
New post up: The IndieWeb and the small web, explained
What the IndieWeb and the small web are, how they differ and where they meet: POSSE, microformats, Webmention and IndieAuth on one side, Neocities, webrings, Gemini and pubnixes on the other. Plus where to find these sites and how to start your own.

Some might call it old-school. I call it still very much alive. 😉
In 2026, my little corner of the Internet joined two webrings: Fediring and IndieWeb. 💍

Getting started with Persistwise:
1. Create an account.
2. Press Start free trial. No card needed.
3. Add a feed. RSS, Atom and JSON Feed all work. If you're not sure of the address, it's often /feed, /rss or /feed.xml on your site.
It checks the feed straight away, then every 15 minutes, and there's a Check now button for when you've just published. The first check takes in every post the feed lists at that moment.
I also made some much-needed updates to my “where to find me online” page.
What a pleasure it is to get lost in the woods of #smallweb ! :) Thanks to https://bubbles.town/ and https://bearblog.dev/discover/.
To conquering the algorithms 🥂
After much consideration I’ve decided to stop doing the live stream and the 24/7 ambient sea stream. I can’t my head around everyone not on iOS not being able to tune in.
Im not sad about it, it just means streamlining and fine tuning my site in a different way
I'm off to the big city for a couple of days, so no big BashBBS updates until I'm back.
But fuck me, it's lovely to be able to SSH into piewpiew from wherever I am and read my own little news feed!
I don't need a $5,000 MacBook.
All I need is a Raspberry Pi Zero. The ORIGINAL one. Not even the Zero 2! :D
THE FUTURE IS NOW! 💾☕

A dip in self confidence, harsh self-talk and extreme procrastination.

OutPost 1.4 for the Mac is out, and it adds a URL scheme so other apps can start a post. A link like outpost://new?title=…&text=… opens a new post with the title and text already filled in. That's handy for sending a highlight from a read-later app such as GoodLinks, or for a shortcut.
It never posts anything on its own, and whatever you were writing is kept as a draft. It's coming to iOS testers soon too.
Do you have #perfectionist tendencies and try to #blog but you have like 100 unfinished drafts?
Same!
This week I have been finding it a helpful exercise to look at my massive pile of drafts, and try to find opportunities to merge half finished (or 1/4 finished, or 1/8th finished) ideas together into a single post.
I've culled from ~30 unfinished ideas down to 6.
They may end up being absolutely whackadoo articles, but they'll be finished.
Perfect is the enemy of done, etc.
