"There’s a multitude of Operating Systems to choose from. You may have been using something like Windows or MacOS and be perfectly happy with it. You can step up and use Linux, Haiku or even Amiga OS. So, why do I think a BSD system may be a great choice?"
> many of us seem to instinctively drop most of the interesting links we find right into the timelines of the many – oh, so many! – social media silos. With the recent revival of personal websites and blogs, however, a lot of people are rediscovering a more thoughtful and persistent alternative: sharing links on their personal…
All blog posts are now tagged in an attempt to make the blog more browsable. Each post also features a “Related reading” section at the bottom which links to other posts with the same tag(s).
I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't or unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 14: starbreaker.org https://starbreaker.org/
Is "release early, release often" as good a policy for personal blog posts as it is for software?
Certainly writing helps clarify your thinking, but what about the publication step? Is publishing a post and responding to feedback an essential step in finding out what you have to say on a subject?
This post by @Daojoan is spot on, and the reason I decide to (re)launch @indieaisle. I would add that you should use tools, resources, and other people to help develop your site. Work with a designer, a developer, a template, a system. BUT understand how it all works together and how you can make changes if you need to.
There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.
Hey, what're you all up to in an hour? Want to nerd out about HTML/CSS? Come join @artlung as he hosts a pop up #indieweb event for all things frontend:
Indieweb and static-site generator lovers, how do you host and organizelarge media? I want to share videos and photosets on the web but I don’t love the idea of just hosting them with YouTube, etc. Git isn’t great for large files and GitHub charges to host them so I don’t feel like I can just add them to my 11ty repo.
What solutions are out there? Ideally something that can be cheaply hosted and easy to integrate with 11ty, mirror, and migrate freely.
I decided to rebuild my website in Kirby CMS, reprocessing 1600+ lines of content across 20 years from micro.blog. Here I talk about what I have built, how the move went, and what I still have left to do.
I'm pumped that #blogroll's are back but in the spirit of sharing follow recommendations for folks on the #fediverse, not just the #indieweb, I wanted to introduce the idea of a #fediroll. This is simply your shortlist of accounts you love and would recommend others follow! Here's my starting 10 below (there's many more I'd like to add in the future)
YAY! Ghost is adding ActivityPub support! > In 2024, Ghost is adopting ActivityPub and connecting with other federated platforms across the web. https://activitypub.ghost.org/
If you have a website with neo cities, just know that the creator actually likes AI, and will add it again based on this post alone. Moratorium on freaking out about AI https://kyledrake.com/writings/ai

I’m not sure how many people will see this, as I didn’t actively post before, but I’ve started a blog named Subtle Echo and posted the first entry today!
It’s a place to share my personal interests with the internet. Video games and the indie web are two big examples :).
I am still planning to slightly tweak the theming and create a favicon, but in the meantime you can check out my inaugural post.
