#indyweb — Public Fediverse posts

@warum

Der erste Satz ist meiner Meinung nach eine schwache Ausrede, die selbstgewählte erlernte Hilflosigkeit nicht ablegen zu müssen.

Natürlich kann man sich durch Konsumverhalten von den grossen Konzernen unabhängig machen. Nicht von allen gleichzeitig und nicht gleich für die gesamte Gesellschaft. Aber für sich selber lässt sich da sehr viel schaffen.

z.B. #Fediverse #Solarpunk #SoLaWi @hostsharing #IndyWeb etc.

Deshalb ist auch der zweite Teil Ausdruck jener erlernten Hilflosigkeit.

Sadly, the time has come to retire the security.txt from my website. It is only used by l33t haxxors who think they can use ai tools to find amazing bugs in my site, but only if i have a bug bounty program. Yet another net positive is turned into a net negative thanks to LLM's.

What kind of #SelfHosted #Syndication tools do you know for automating posts to corporate social media like Facebook from an RSS feed? Asking for a comrade

#IndyWeb

Hey #Forkiverse! First things first, an #introduction is in order (post your own so people can get to know you):
https://hachyderm.io/@suzannealdrich/111430267596783825

Next, follow some active hashtags that you’re interested in, and maybe some you didn’t know you’d be:
#Monsterdon
#ThreeGoodThings
#Mosstodon
#Caturday
#FensterFreitag
I find it easier to read CamelCase hashtags, and people using screen readers appreciate hashtags to be at the end of your posts (not embedded).

Make your images accessible by adding alt text, which is also a secret cheat code for stuffing a bunch of text into a post. But you should always use that for more descriptive text. I take screenshots of text and use alt text for transcriptions. There’s bots you can follow to give you reminders or even produce the alt text if you forget (@altbot). Some clients have reminders, too.

AI slop is not appreciated here. Be mindful of why and when you are employing LLM technologies. General machine learning is more well-tolerated.

There’s no algorithms to push content to the eyeballs here so you’ll need to follow and share by boosting the good stuff. That’s why you need to use hashtags, but also remember there’s no algorithms to game so make it readable and relevant to your readership.

Some oddities might stand out. Quote posting is quite new. You’ll see that not all replies to a thread get federated (spread), for various reasons. Search can be challenging. It all has to do with the nature of a truly decentralized protocol and communities. We’re still working on ironing out what works, and getting the developers to work on the right priorities.

Speaking of which, you *can* change your instance (community), but you *can’t* take your posts with you. Principles of the open #IndyWeb still apply here: if you truly want to *own* your content, you need to self-host. You can get your Ghost or Wordpress website to post to the #Fediverse, and there are ways to do it with Hugo and other static site generators as well. See @blog for an example.

Welcome! 🤗

Looks like my #SelfHosted #FreeBSD web server VPS probably just got hit by AI scrapers that pretty much shut the whole server down. Couldn't even log in via the console within a reasonable time. Not the first time this happened, either.

Looks like I finally need to do something about this, and I found this GitHub repo that claims to offer some configuration suggestions and robots.txt that at least would deal with the crawlers that respect robots.txt: https://github.com/ai-robots-txt

Does anyone have additional suggestions/pf configurations that would help with getting DDOS'd by presumed AI crawlers?

Oh, and I love that most search engines seem to barf up pages that describe how one would work around AI scraper limitations that people put on their websites to stand a fighting chance. A hearty "screw you" to people who implement this type of "workaround" to make sure that the #IndyWeb has an even harder time to hang around.

@shanselman in the episode with @poppastring you mentioned a few #indyweb folks but i cant find the one you mentioned - do you have any pointers for me 😅 best put those links on your show notes that would be amazing 😍

I finally published my first technical blog post ever! It's about how I self-hosted my new blog using #Ghost, #Caddy, and #Docker. I'd love to hear any feedback you have.

#SelfHosting #Indyweb

A very interesting article about Digital Gardens, what they are and their history. I really like the idea of “public learning” by, simply put, publishing your notes online. It's a kind of public #PKM that may or may not lead to “cultivated performance” in the form of blog posts, papers, books, etc.

The whole idea sits somewhere between PKM and the #IndyWeb.

@schalkneethling Yeah it is! Thanks!

linuxmafia.com is my site.

I really don't care about SSL (on my site), because there's no compelling use-case for https for anything the site does. (I could remove the current self-signed cert with no functional loss.)

The whole CA thing is notorious security theatre as implemented. (See Schneier's entire chapter on that in Secrets and Lies.)

Yes, I'll probably eventually upgrade to a serious SSL implementation using something less hopeless than OpenSSL (looking at wolfSSL and MatrixSSL in addition to the obvious LibreSSL [edit: add Rustls and possibly others; would have to check my records]), and I'll probably accomodate the unthinking masses with a Let's Encrypt cert the way MIchael Orlitzky eventually did, but think it's a well-meaning solution (from excellent and righteous people who are cherished friends) to the wrong problem, for the same reason MIchael Orlitzky does.

Just realized that some very old images from my blog's early days disappeared. Restored a backup from 2006 locally and made them available again.

I like that #indyweb feel

DRUPALERS!

so what is #Drupal doing about #ActivityPub on an official level? because last i checked, there's only these 3 modules, and only the #Indyweb one is recommended --NOT EVEN THE ACTIVITYPUB ONE!

But a quick question for #indyweb veterans - is there a way to modify the template that is used to put up syndicated wordpress posts on mastodon? For example, I'd love to do a larger snippet from the post text so folx on mastodon have a bit more of a sense of what they're clicking on.

@wikiyu <złośliwość> Na Facebooku tych problemów nie ma. Decentralizacja robi swoje :)

Btw, posługiwanie się linkami, oknami, to imo podstawowa umiejętność w internecie.

@sebastian

I didn't know https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub supported two way follows but I see they are working on it, looks like https://wordpress.org/plugins/friends/ is now working in tandem... #IndyWeb is happening people!

@IndyRichard Dmytri Kleiner points out that to beat the #IndyWeb facebook and twitter had to lose literally billions for a decade. They had terrible UX for most of that period, too. VCs were prepared to sink a lot into iterating the UX, in the expectation that monopoly power would pay them back later

Are there folks out there using #micropub for posting to Mastodon? I got really excited about the concept in 2020, but setting things up was a bit too hacky for day-to-day use. Wondering if there are some good options now, perhaps running via wordpress? #indyweb #web0 #selfhosted

@KevinMarks
So it sounds like if I boil it down... that the #indyweb concept basically comes down to trying to increase interoperability between #selfhosted sites. Have I got that right?
