I'd be more convinced about POTUS and former POTUS federating if there was an actual mastodon.gov.
#
to2ds
Or maybe they should have their own IndieWeb sites and use brid.gy?
#
[tantek]
Exactly. Federate directly from http://whitehouse.gov
#
to2ds
Even better!

A candidate who champions the open web / open source, within reason, would definitely elicit my favor 😄

I'm starting to believe that web browsers are becoming the rotary phones of the 21st century.

Though these late evening musings would seem more applicable to an #indieweb-soapbox, if it existed.

Coincidentally I installed the lynx browser on my terminal tonight, @to2ds, if that makes you feel better. Very eye-opening experience.

Finally published my old tweets to my website. Still need to do some cleanup on the post describing how I did it.

I use lynx quite a lot. Mostly for _what does this look like in lynx_, but also for checking my own stuff doesn’t regress.

Testing with lynx is a good idea for sure. It’s like checking that the new track that you mixed and mastered sounds good on car stereos. Like it’s probably not the intented experience but it should still sound tolerable. I try to make sure to use js only for progressive enhancement in my hobby web projects nowadays

Hello, is anyone using Laravel as a backend? Just looking for some examples out there in the wild. Just about to start a backend for my blog (currently 11ty) to Laravel + Filament.

Me too. Happy to talk about the details in #indieweb-dev

Is it still indieweb if you have multiple domains, and you link stuff from your web site to say, your nextCloud instance which bares a different domain? I have two; https://cambridgeport90.org, which is my public web site, and goes, right now, to Micro.blog, though I intend to either go back to Wordpress or to Known, but probably the former for now, until I can roll my own CMS in .NET, but that's a long way off, and https://silvercou

Any of my, say, audio post kinds would probably link to NextCloud instead of having all the files on the web server's root.

why wouldn't it be? you seem to own where you publish, that's the only criteria :)
#
[Joe_Crawford]
Yeah, there’s no single “correct” way to indieweb! If you have control over your writing, photos, etc and a company going out of business or changing their TOS doesn’t take you down, you’re indieweb. So many sides and variations!
#
cambridgeport90
good to know. There needs to be more of a push; even in the younger generation, in other words, those in their 30's and below; I have seen too many instances of...it's too much of a risk for me to host myself.

Hello, I'm new to indie web and I really love it. I have a question, how I implement Post Kinds plugin in sidebar.php?

brunopulis Welcome! Would you mind asking this in #indieweb-wordpress?

Capjamesg its true, sorry I'll ask there! Thanks.

would gnunet be a viable technology to host websites on when it's more developed?

I wonder if it's possible to develop a web browser for GNUnet? that may be really helpful in advancing the indeweb architecture
#
aetherglade
I am a total newb to software development in general but I would love to collaborate to bring about more open internet protocols
#
aetherglade
I'd probably use the gecko browser engine to design it
#
aetherglade
I'm slowly getting out of the core web as much as I can. I only use tumblr and discord tbh but I browse a lot on marginalia search and look at a lot of personal sites.
