In today’s prototyping class at @xpub we have been looking at Nginx logs live.

It is CRAZY to see the actual amount of bot connecting to our website and our wiki 😱🤬

I decided not to use any analytics on my website a while ago already, but I am wondering if it exist an Internet traffic measurement tool based exclusively on information from Nginx logs?

I would gladly prefer something simple that stays in the terminal, but I would not mind installing something that can be also publicly accessible (like Grafana).

I was waiting for all of them to be on the Fediverse to tag them all, and mark this moment for posterity:

this is when we decided we would get a Ham Radio license. 19 Jan 2026, 13:59:14 CET.

We really must do it now, @martina @wlwni @sevgiiiii + me

Of course we forgot to take more meaningful photos, but yesterday’s Intro to Local First at @xpub it was super interesting and insightful 💡

Thanks @tbernard and @p2panda ❤️

We were surprised and glad that @KingmaYpe discovered the event via the Fediverse and joined us, giving us an insight on Local-First and private Smart Meter measurements 👀

Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!

My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!

All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.
