The 25th Scrolls newsletter is out! Would have gotten it out last Friday but some holiday stuff got in the way. In any case, it’s here now! Check it out for the usual #indieweb, #fediverse and #infosec / #cybersecurity stuff.

Also worth mentioning... I usually publish these announcements from my @shellsharks@malici.ous.computer account but that GtS instance needs to be migrated at the moment so instead I'm posting from here 😁.

Is anyone else completely exhausted by the "Suggested For You" era of the web?
I feel like 2025 broke something in my tolerance for algorithmic feeds. I caught myself scrolling my personal insta yesterday and realized I hadn't seen a post from an actual human friend in ten minutes. It was just engagement bait and AI-generated slop. Uggh!
Thinking about moving my web reading habits to RSS.
#RSS #indieweb #enshittification #privacy #noai #selfhosted #linux #sysadmin
Ormai da quasi due anni ho ripreso a seguire quotidianamente blog via feed rss e sono quasi tutti attinenti al mondo IT e sparsi per il mondo.
Sto cercando blog italiani da seguire, non importa che siano tecnici, vanno benissimo tutti.
Scrivete su un blog?
State pensando di farlo? Fatelo!
E scrivetemi qui sotto l’indirizzo del vostro sito web.
Grazie!

I’ve been putting together a collection of web badges/buttons after being nerd sniped by @henry.
I plan to make a great deal more, but these are what I’ve got so far.

Added microformats and the start of webmentions back to my website now that it's replatformed on Ghost. More work to do, but it's a good start. #indieweb

It's all very well having my own domain and online home, but an attack by malicious spambots is enough to make me reconsider my “freedom”.
One is also up against the plethora of tutorials and guides that are almost useless to me.

The interactions we’re used to having on #socialmedia arose BECAUSE of the affordances of social media — the good ones and the bad ones.
Efforts to envision the NEXT thing take for granted that it needs to look like the CURRENT thing, ignoring how we socialized online BEFORE ~2008 when social stormed into all our lives. I think we need to rediscover pre-2008 web tech and rebuild a social web that routes around #bigtech.
The most exciting thing to me about #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse is that they also connect #blogs, #RSS, and #indieweb social mentions to #socialmedia in an open, interoperable way.
Frustrating, though, that mainstream users tend to ignore noncommercial solutions that aren't aggressively trying to attract them, especially when the onboarding experience is so confusing to newbies. Even if our tech platforms are ready for prime time, the human networks are only early adopter types.

The internet used to be a collection of homes.
Now it's a row of malls.
We traded the hobbyist era for corporate walled gardens. ICQ is dead, Skype is dead, and the open web is being strip-mined for data.
But remember: the #hashtag was born in 1980s IRC rooms, not a Silicon Valley PR firm.
The Fediverse isn't just a trend - it's a return to what made the web work in the first place.
Protocols over platforms. Always.

Revamped my domain name site https://rmendes.net
plan to use it like a live CV showcasing work related stuff
couldn’t resist to play with the code and implement #indieweb using #go existing libraries
also has webmentions support, feel free to test :)

Like most of us, I’ve been re-thinking my relationship with my phone. Because it suuuuucks.
I started a new section of my blog this year, for non-music-related posts. This is my second ever entry:
