“The simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.” — Jarrett Fuller
Calling all #RetroComputing friends:
I’ve designed a simple web site that should run on almost any browser that supports html3.2. However I’ve had reports of it displaying poorly on a #crt I wondered if people could send me a photo of my #website homepage on their system so I have some references.
Which JavaScript framework for the web frontend is the smallest, fastest, and best overall? If it's not listed, please mention it as a comment and why 🧑💻 → pls boost this toot :BoostOK:
As an "independent source" it was used by politicians, students, and many everyday people alike.
It was used for #publications & #documentaries, and triggered some inquires where I assisted in shaping national & international political statements. It's been fun & fulfilling 🙂
In today's siloed internet its usefulness is gone. No more days with 5.000 unique visitors & multiple email inquires.
The way I blog has drastically changed since I discovered the IndieWeb. For one, I'm less precious with my blog posts. I allow mistakes, errors, and no longer think chronologically. Every post is an evolving document.
New on my tiny blog: A post about @eleventy and why it brings me joy. I struggled a bit writing this text for some reason, but it came out OK ... sort of.

I've written a #blog post on how to integrate #Fediverse /#Mastodon#comments with a #Zola#website. It's taken me some time to get everything working in terms of style and semantics but in the end it really wasn't that hard at all. Happy to present to you my #howto post:
In a recent announcement, Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault (@dansup), shared exciting news for Pixelfed instance administrators. A forthcoming feature is set to empower admins by allowing the storage of imported media from Instagram directly on S3 Storage.
The development is part of a pull request (PR) on GitHub, where Supernault detailed the functionality of the feature. Admins will soon have the ability to opt-in to store Instagram-imported media on S3 filesystem driver. This marks a significant enhancement for Pixelfed instances, providing a seamless integration for media management.
Key Configuration Details:
To enable or disable the feature, admins can set PF_IMPORT_IG_CLOUD_STORAGE to true or false. Notably, this can only be activated if Cloud Storage (PF_ENABLE_CLOUD) is enabled. However, admins have the flexibility to disable this feature and retain Instagram-imported media locally, even with Cloud Storage enabled.
Existing local media will be seamlessly migrated without requiring any action from admins. A cron job will automatically handle the migration of both existing and new Instagram media. While the process may take some time for instances with substantial media content, Pixelfed assures administrators that the system is designed to efficiently manage the transition.
Migration Process:
During the migration, Pixelfed has chosen to silently update media URLs to avoid sending unnecessary “Update” activities. This careful approach ensures a smooth experience for users, with local media URLs gracefully redirecting to their corresponding S3 URLs when appropriate.
Pixelfed’s commitment to user experience and efficient media management is evident in this upcoming feature. Admins can anticipate enhanced control over media storage, providing a more seamless and scalable solution for Pixelfed instances.
The Pixelfed community eagerly awaits the official release of this feature, anticipating its positive impact on the platform’s media management capabilities.
I've started a new #webring using my tool! Most existing webrings are geek oriented, for folks into retro computing or small web stuff etc. So I'm doing something a little different.
It's called Ghostring! It's for #horror and #SFF enthusiasts, anyone with mysterious #witch vibes, or perhaps anyone who's an actual #ghost or other nonhuman creature? (it's not strict)
If you run a personal #blog or #website, I'd love to list you on the webring. Send me your site info! Let's connect!
Anybody have some simple #coding recommendation for adding #mastodon content to a static HTML site? I want to incorporate a live element that follows a certain hashtag. I have a couple ways I can do this:
I can periodically run a program that does stuff, generates HTML, and publishes a new version of my static page. (e.g., every 5 minutes)
I could incorporate some kind of #javascript element so that the browser does the pull, but it needs to pull a feed off some server, right?
Fast Internet is not really available these days. Not because of the connection, but because of the excessive data flow and JavaScript application on the pages. In my opinion, this is often too much of a good thing.
Oh look it works again, thought when it wanted to access #X anonymously it didn't work anymore. Apparently it now works again like on #Twitter and you can distribute its anonym here in the #Fediverse over a #Nitter instance. It's more convenient to avoid the data collection frenzy of this #web recording for your #privacy.
🧵 …and that's why I use the plugins and tools mentioned above and don't use the internet unprotected:
