🎉🎉🎉 it's the 34th birthday of the world wide #web so it's a great day to share the upcoming deadline for #writing submissions to GOOD INTERNET! two and a half weeks away!!!

📖 in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET is an #indie print AND digital magazine that is run & contributed to by volunteers!

#goodinternet covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an #art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

🙅 you don't have to be a pro #webdev or a #coding whiz to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web.

📣 we want to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech and unhealthy #socialmedia habits.

🔍 we're looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, any digital (and traditional) artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, social media expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned web.

My small act of #resistance against the #enshittification of the web today has been to use client-side #XSLT for something different that #RSS styling: generating multiple #SVG plots from the same #XML data:

i wrote a guide to installing, configuring, and running a single-user @Mastodon server. it sets up a @hetzner VPS on ubuntu linux, but the instructions are general enough.

highlights: local disk storage, subdomain redirect, improved configuration files, security and performance, privacy and safety considerations. this server was created by following the guide. hello fediverse. ⁂

Now presenting

Make Your Own Website
https://web.pixelshannon.com/make

This guide is intended to help beginners make their first website with HTML/CSS.

I originally wrote it for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project. I think it is now complete-enough for anyone to follow to get started making a personal or hobby site.

Let me know what you think!

If I had a more conspiracist mind, I'd say that the timing of #Google's proposal to remove #XSLT support from #Chrome#Chromium#Blink just as we are seeing a resurgence of interest in #RSS and the #indieWeb away from the centralized #GAFAM silos is quite suspicious.

So happy to announce this partnership! I've partnered with Sean Crisden to provide his backstage pass folks with audio recordings of my blog posts! This is how he's able to financially narrate these posts, so pick a slot, and subscribe! The first will be a Sensual Exploration of Chocolate, and then an introduction to my work, so check out https://seancrisden.com/pages/backstage-pass#Audible#Audio#Audiobook#Audiobook#Blog#Blogs#IndieWeb

Especially if you're an #indieWeb supporter, you should consider this feature essential, as it's what gives you the ability e.g. to make your #RSS feeds nicely formatted even on browsers that have removed built-in support for them (i.e. basically anything except for #VivaldiBrowser).

Of course, it can be used for more than that. I wrote about this (in Italian) on my website a couple of years ago

If you have a personal page / blog please comment this post with a link to it.
I'd love to check them out.
I will even comment on it if you want me to.

Told y'all we were cooking.

Say hello to Conjured Ink ( https://conjured.ink ): an #IndieWeb-based, #decentralized ecosystem of shops networked together to resist the kind of nonsense Itch and Steam have been dealing with.

We're a collective designing and building the software needed for folks who aren't techies to basically self host without feeling like they're self-hosting. Because you shouldn't need to be a sysadmin to free yourself from this yoke.

Join us!
