With all the #smallweb / #indieweb / #POSSE /... talk, how do you go about regaining "control" of all your stuff? I have been posting projects, images, ... all over the place.

And I feel like it would make sense to get that "centralized" on my own page(s).

Partially grabbing archives (like my old twitter acc) and finding reasonable ways to keep them without being dependent on X infrastructure (say e.g. for shortlinks).

But also things still in more active use, like projects on hackaday.io etc. I guess that would be technically the same as archiving, but maybe you can still add links to your new "archive"?

I'm a #Linux and #FOSS enthusiast, with a focus on #SelfHosting, #SmallWeb, #3DPrinting, and #CyberSecurity. My personal instance is running #GoToSocial.

Happy to be here!

Maybe it helps; maybe it won't. But it can't hurt.

The Older I Get, The More Terminal I Become

As I age, I find myself gravitating more towards CLI and TUI applications that can be run from a terminal emulator. And honestly, I am not sure why.

Kinda rushed, but I show the kitten server operator and kitten visitors interacting in real time (the kitten visitor by hitting a kitten page, the kitten server operator by reading and setting kittendb values in the kitten shell).

What do you think @mdhughes @aral

Obviously the kitten host will be robotic, but I thought this is a useful half-interaction to see.

Webring Wednesday #13 | Devring Club

Devring Club is a straightforward webring for developers looking to connect and share their work. Joining is as simple as submitting a pull request with your site’s URL and getting it added to the list. Once you’re in, you can browse through a random assortment of other developer sites or find something specific by browsing the directory. The webring’s minimalist design keeps the focus on the content, making it easy for developers to find each other’s work and learn from one another.

It’s a great space for developers of all kinds—whether you’re into coding, software, or web development. The low-frills setup allows the community to grow organically, making it a refreshing alternative to the more commercialized tech communities.

Check it out here: https://devring.club/

another reason to potentially support https://goodinternetmagazine.com — it literally made me get carpal tunnel surgery!!!

become a free member, grab a physical copy, support more issues by buying an annual membership — these are the best ways to help and support!

I added texture to the background of my #website...and it makes me feel like I can touch it.

I love the idea of holding the pages of a website like a #book...what kind of "wear" would a beloved website show with repeat readings?

Would favorite pages have dog-eared corners instead of browser bookmarks?

This is part of why I don't like agentic browsing, AI summaries, whatever BCNY is even doing these days, etc: they fail to recognize that, at least in the #smallweb, the journey - and the _real people_ you bump into along the way - are part of the destination: https://roytang.net/2025/06/web-explorer/

Bookmarked Don't Make a Blog, Make a Brain Dump (https://btxx.org/posts/dump/)

Bookmarked Making Space for a Handmade Web | Figma Blog (https://www.figma.com/blog/making-space-for-a-handmade-web/)

> What if instead, there were millions of websites, each one handmade by a single person?

This article discusses the revival of personal, handcrafted websites as a counter to the commercialisation and uniformity of the modern internet. If only this was shared on a personal website rather than a commercial one?
