alors là... je suis quand même un petit peu fier de mon "podroll"

une page qui affiche en temps réel les podcasts auquels je suis abonné
et leurs derniers épisodes.

Alright my web friends! 👋 Hands up who has experienced a surge in (LLM) bot traffic recently and maybe even had to take steps against them? I’m writing a blog post about this atm and it would be great to hear whether others are experiencing the same with their #blogs and personal #websites. #RT == 💚

Tokyo police have arrested a 61-year-old man for allegedly registering a fake address to rent an internet server and on suspicions of involvement in a blog that alludes to child prostitution in Laos. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/30/japan/crime-legal/laos-child-prostitution-blog/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesepolice #laos #children #osaka #internet #prostitution #blogs

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.

"Before #socialmedia ate the internet, and the internet ate everything else, and before everything else ate itself, #blogs occupied a wonderful and formative niche in the information ecosystem.
They were personal but public, permanent but updateable, long-form but informal. A blog post could be 3 paragraphs or 30 pages. It could build an argument over weeks/months, with each post serving as a chapter in an ongoing project that readers could follow, critique, respond to."

@molly0xfff I started #blogging with paper #zines when needle printers were invented, had one of the first digital blogs, and can't stop it: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts

We have hard times inmidst of #AISlop but #humanmade #blogs are the future! People will be hungry again for human-made stuff.

A small collection of text-only websites

A couple of years ago, I started serving my blog posts as plain text. Add .txt to the end of any URl and get a deliciously lo-fi, UTF-8, mono[chrome|space] alternative.

Here's this post in plain text - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/12/a-small-collection-of-text-only-websites.txt

Obviously a webpage without links is like a fish without a bicycle, but the joy of the web is that there are no gatekeepers. People can try new concepts and, if enough people join in, it becomes normal. I'm not saying the plain-text is the best web experience. But it is an experience. Perfect if you like your browsing fast, simple, and readable. There are no cookie banners, pop-ups, permission prompts, autoplaying videos, or garish colour schemes.

I'm certainly not the first person to do this, so I thought it might be fun to gather a list of websites which you browse in text-only mode. If you know of any more - including your own site - please drop a comment in the box!

• Terence Eden's blog - add .txt to any URl.
• Daring Fireball - add .text to any URl.
• Zach Flowers - replace .html with .txt.
• Fabien Benetou's PIM - add ?action=source to any URl.
• M0YNG - add .txt to any URl.
• Gwern - add .md to any URl or send an HTTP Accept for Markdown.
• Dan Q's textplain.blog - the entire blog is plain text!
• Matt Hobbs - there is a feed of plaintext which allows you to read recent posts.

If you'd like to add a site, please get in touch. The rules are simple - content which has the MIME type of text/plain. No HTML, no multimedia, no RTF, no XML, no ANSI colour escape sequences.

Emoji are fine though; emoji are cool.

Added a little snow to my site to cool down the servers.

You can too by checking this guide. I’m using the snow-fall component from @zachleat on my #Eleventy site.

Höre von #X - ern, dass der #Hate gegen demokratisch #Aktive - vor allem gegen #Frauen - & gegen das Miteinander der #Religionen dort inzwischen völlig eskaliert sei, nachdem #Musk zahlreiche wegen Hassrede Gesperrte wieder zugelassen habe.

Erinnere mich, dass es damals schon übel war…

Möchte daher auch als #Solarpunk allen ehrenamtlichen #Admins im #Fediversum danken, die auch ihre #Blogs & #Mastodon - Instanzen zu besseren Orten mit echtem #Dialog machen. 🙏🌱🙌 https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/empoerungssucht-nach-dem-x-odus-trolle-scheitern-an-den-mastodon-instanzen/
