"weekly newsletter / link roundup / information digest at the intersection of the IndieWeb and the Fediverse, with a splash of Cybersecurity stuff"
RSS available too if you're into that kinda thing
from @shellsharks
back when i first joined mastodon, one of the many surprising things i learned was that gopher (and gemini!) had made a return to the public sphere after decades of obscurity.
i grew up with gopher and archie and veronica and many other www-alt protocols before getting hooked on the world wide web. they taught me how to hunt for things, in a time when web search didn't exist yet.
i've spent every day of the past week adding a new feature to kiki that i'm incredibly proud of, after hearing from several folks - namely @tomjennings and @scott, who (like me) are hungry for an information-dense and cruft-free internet
this works by turning your kiki pages into gopherspace pages through some formatting magic and textmunging. so now, you can host your kiki instance on both the www and in gopherspace, simultaneously.
it will be released in an upcoming version of kiki, available soon here: https://tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki

Some fun indie/cozy-web directories:
For those whose websites:
- have a /now/ page: https://nownownow.com/
- have a /uses/ page: https://uses.tech/
- use Obsidian to publish: https://obsidian-gallery.craftengineer.com/
Are there any other directories folks have seen?
Anyone familiar with a lightweight text-wget type tool to pull text-only from http articles? I like to save clippings offline of various web articles for future reference/research (journalism, essays, etc) but my current solution is to: (i) toggle reader view + strip out images (ii) print - save as PDF. Anyone else got a more lightweight way to pull plaintext from web pages? I *imagine* there's some simple tools out there using e.g. python web scraping + parsing? #web #journalism #webtech #indieweb

Blogged about the 2 protests I attended against the #SupremeCourt ruling.
Its about the importance of #protest and the sorts of environments we cultivate at demonstrations. Its about the importance of protest being not just an opportunity for spreading a message: but an opportunity for community, building connections and mutual support.
New on the blog: The one where I invite you to let go of your social media posts.

"Why The Indieweb?
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.
Webbed Briefs
WEBBED BRIEFS are brief videos about the web, its technologies, and how to make the most of them. They’re packed with information, fun times(TM), and actual goats."

Fresh new instance, fresh new #introduction time.
I'm Erin, yet another autistic transgender anarchist from so-called Portland, Oregon. I used to have fancy tech jobs with titles like "Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer" until I burnt out, got laid off, and discovered that the tech industry was done with me. Nowadays I survive on a very part-time gig as a general technologist and some freelance tech work when I can find it. My part-time gig is unionized through the IWW, of which I am a proud member. I've been on fedi under various names and handles since GNU Social was the cool new thing.
My special interests include Cybersecurity, Casio watches, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy XIV, the Indieweb, Linux, old ThinkPads, XMPP, Yuri Anime and Manga, and stuffed sharks.

I've added an XSLT stylesheet to my articles RSS feed for a better user experience, especially for those who are not familiar with feeds: https://balintmagyar.com/articles.xml
Hat tip to @reillypascal for raising my awareness to this capability, and to Nathan Clark for a nice intro article https://natclark.com/tutorials/xslt-style-rss-feed/
That was fun! I want to continue tweaking it to make it more consistent with other parts of my site. Eg. friendlier dates, and displaying tags and reading time.
