What if useful AI is a fantasy?
I tried to use AI in my work, but was it actually useful?

hello all I want to have images on my website to be dithered or don't show the image at first but give them the orginal image if they click on the button below the image (I don't have anything for this now) and no javascript.
because I want to reduce the bandwidth a person would need to spend while loading the page.

Auf ins IndieWeb: Mit dem HappyCoder und Flickarty
Hier hatte mich ja schon die Erkenntnis überwältigt, daß mir über die Jahre sehr viel von den Basics von HTML und CSS abhanden gekommen waren. Aber da ich nun meine »Ersten Schritte mit TiddlyWiki« auf meinen Neocities-Account hochgeladen habe, ist es an der Zeit, diese verschütteten Kenntnisse wieder aufzufrischen: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026072801_indieweb_happy_coding/ #IndieWeb #Neocities #StatischeSeiten #DigitaleSouveränität #DigitalGarden #Webworking #TiddlyWiki

A blogger installed something that checks if I am a bot. Since I use an ad blocker, it thought I was a bot, and got stuck in an endless checking loop. I already whitelisted Cloudflares stupid check thing but this is something else. I get it. Having your stuff scraped sucks, and it can hit your hosting bill hard. I get it, but I still wish more would take this kind of radical stance this blogger is doing. Index me, scrape me, scrape everything, this blogger stopped caring about trying to keep these kinds of things out. Besides, let's be real. Your solution will always be temporary. When these LLM VC funding comes knocking, *they* will need to pay, not you, so be gay, publish porn, and let these losers deal with it https://starbreaker.org/ #IndieWeb

AI Uses Em-Dashes Because Bloggers Do
WordPress powers a huge chunk of the web, so it's highly represented in LLMs' training data. WordPress also auto-converts ASCII punctuation to real typography, and it has since 2003. Think about it...https://journal.kvibber.com/2026/07/em-dashes-and-wordpress/

I can actually run full-fat firefox on my 4GB RAM Core 2 Duo, but some websites are much less than pleasant. ;)
The #smolweb / #indieweb is fine on it, though.
I was listening to an old episode of the #TuxJam podcast where they're talking about a distro called 4M Linux, and it made me think back to the hypothetical "3M" computers of the 1980s:
- 1 MB RAM
- 1 MIPS
- 1 Megapixel Display
That would be a fun hypothetical virtual machine to create and write an OS for.
It's what the #NeXT tried very hard to be, and I think succeeded at.

If you use DaVinci Resolve you're probably aware of wesuckless, the brilliant user forum that also is the place to get the Reactor plugin, a huge collection of plugins, scripts and macros for fusion (including some by yours truly), mostly free, or donation-ware.
The website is a huge resource for users and plugin developers. It is run for the benefit of the community and out of the admin's own pocket.
But of course AI sees this as just a free source of training data. Billionaires are basically getting subsidised by people like this, without their consent.
As Pieter Van Houte, the wesuckless admin put it in a recent post to patreon subscribers:
"Every common chatbot out there has been trained on We Suck Less. If you have ever asked ChatGPT, or Claude, or Gemini, or Llama,… about Resolve or Fusion and a response came back that worked somewhat, I’ve paid for that with my own time and money"
Add the destruction of the indie web and communities like this to the tab for AI, along with the colossal energy use, the slop and misinformation, and the wholesale copyright theft. This stupid bubble can't pop quickly enough.Full text of the post here

🇰🇷 Massive data leak hits 10,000 South Korean diplomats. The vulnerability was active for almost 10 months (April 2025 - February 2026) undetected. Security failure, negligence, or something more? Full story on the blog 👇

Webmentions, easier said than done?
I like the idea of Webmentions, a protocol informing a blogger, website owner, that another blog/website has linked to them. Similar to pingbacks, Webmentions aren't just another tech-gimmick though. In 2017 they were adopted as a recommendation by the W3C, the international body publishing standards for the web. They're also favoured within the IndieWeb/SmallWeb communities. So far, so good. The drawback however comes in their implementation. It's not a simple case of adding a few lines […]https://disassociated.com/webmentions-easier-said-than-done/

Trivial, but I created a Rust service to redirect to a random entry in my blogroll; no JS required. It fits well in my footer with the webrings.

For #Blind people looking to make their own websites, I recommend all 3 parts of this podcast series. Part 3 covers Static site generators and #Markdown, which is what I use, but it hasn't been transcribed yet. I'd recommend starting at part 1. https://nfb.org/resources/publications-and-media/access-podcast/part-one-our-look-creating-websites #WebDev #IndieWeb

#TIL im #IndieWeb Wiki kann man sich nur mit IndieAuth anmelden (https://indieweb.org/IndieAuth). Dafür muss man die eigene Website vorbereiten, ich habe das durch Zusenden eines Codes per E-Mail realisiert. Hat gar nicht weh getan :)
