Tintering with my website again

I’ve caught a bug over the weekend. That one where you end up tinkering with your website for hours on end. This is a happy place. #Indieweb

Here is a small detail I missed in my previous post:

In the Wander Console crawler, each console or page URL can be expanded to show other consoles that link to it.

Try it at https://susam.net/wander/ → Console → Crawl.

If you host your own Wander Console, update to the latest version to use this feature: https://codeberg.org/susam/wander#install

Sunsetting my Gemini capsule at gemini://gemini.hofstede.it by the end of April.

Gemini is a lightweight, text-based protocol and part of the smallweb, a counterforce to the ad-driven, bloated mess the modern web has become. I genuinely love the idea.

But maintaining it was more work than I liked. md2gmi (https://github.com/n0x1m/md2gmi) did some heavy lifting, yet Gemtext still needed significant fixing. And the attention was disproportionate to the effort.

I'll fully focus on my weblog instead: https://blog.hofstede.it. Also lightweight (static, no cookies, no ads), but with actual visibility.

Gemini was a nice experiment and a great idea, but unfortunately not a successful one for me.

@susam That whole thing is kinda confusing at first, but when you get used to it you do discover some interesting #indieweb sites. Of all the discoveries, I like yours best (the fizzbuzz article made me smile!)

Wander Console 0.5.0 is out.

Try it here: https://susam.net/wander/

The big feature in this release is a built-in console network crawler. To try it, go to https://susam.net/wander/ > Console > Crawl.

It performs a breadth-first search (BFS) traversal of the Wander network and lists all consoles and page recommendations in a single pane.

There are currently 37 consoles with over 700 page recommendations reachable from my console.

See https://susam.net/code/news/wander/0.5.0.html for details.

В настоящее время грязнее, чем гестапо, может ли полиция Торонто обновить свой имидж с помощью новобранца сенсационного нового талисмана? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/ru/articles/канадская-демократия-в-опасности,-пока-правят-толпы-ронто.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

Can I put referral ads on my Fediverse blog entries? This is to support myself financially in a world of artificial money, scarcity, and inflation. However, I think putting ads in the federated universe, where people tend to engage in open sharing, seems quite unconventional. Maybe other people will get angry with me; they wanted to escape ads, but I am putting ads anyway, lol.

The google pagespeed tool drives me nuts. Like, how on earth is my 21.7 KiB homepage taking over two seconds to load? It also knocked off points for the anti-AI directives in my robots.txt, and it complains about my self-hosted webfonts. Not that google would appreciate it at all if I let them track my site visitors by using their font hosting service, eh? #webdev #indieweb
