I look forward to reading it. I refused to look at mine this year.
#
[tantek]
Which one? Strava or lastfm?
#
[Sophia_wood]2
Strava - I don't put everything in strava - so it's not going to be accurate anyway for 2025

That's my problem with Flighty and now I need to go back and backfill so it gives me a more accurate "2025 Passport"
#
[Sophia_wood]2
Yeah - my numbers file is my truth. I have 2 watches and am lazy.

[preview] [Tantek Çelik] I checked my Strava: Year in Sport 2025 after I did my last run on the 31st, and it felt a bit light. When I checked my saved images/videos from last year’s Strava Year in Sport, it was clear they had dropped several things from 2024 to 2025.

good representation in the comments from [benatwork], [jamietanna], [Simon_Willison], and of course an inevitable semantic web apologist 😂

Oh thanks [snarfed], now I'm posting HN comments while tipsy on a Friday night like it's 2009
#
[Al_Abut]
Let's see if I have to delete any of these when I’m hung over tomorrow. So far [Simon_Willison] is the only other orange links from YC alums that I see.

I enjoyed my http://last.fm playback though I am not what to make of the details about my rank for specific artists and tracks. I don't actually have any kind of network there and I never use it to find new music. So, just a nice record from when I switched to Navidrome.
#
[jeremycherfas]
Not sure what to make.

Hello! Long time web watcher, first time joiner. I am a sysadmin (now support for sysadmins) for a long time now but not a strong coder at all. Been exploring more of the small web (again) and realizing how much I need to catch up. Retracted from much of the socials and started up a blog with Publii:
#
presgas
However, I want to migrate to something even simpler but still needing to explore some of the finer points of web stuff. Hope to join up on some events and learn about things along with passing on whatever is in me about sysadmin stuff. I love exchanging knowledge!!

Thanks everyone! Still trying to figure out the bridges as well.
#
[Al_Abut]
I love your terminal vibes @presgas
#
presgas
Yes, that is what I may need to learn about css. If I move to another blog software; emulating that theme...or at least getting close to it
#
[Al_Abut]
@presgas that sounds like a fun project. [artlung] hosts regular “frontend study halls” with a big focus on CSS, if you want to hang out on a zoom with questions. Just follow this tag from the events page:
#
Loqi
friendly reminder presgas, [Al_Abut], we try to keep dev talk (CSS, frontend) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[Al_Abut]
(Oops, that’s right, haha)
#
presgas
Apologies, thought it was still in line with a general intro. Also still working out how to do mentions and get alerted with mentions with all the bridges.
#
[Al_Abut]
Not sure mentions work across the bridges? Someone could correct me though.
#
presgas
I'm not sure I would get alerted to [Al_Abut] mentioning me in #indieweb-dev

mentioning CSS is jargon. That automated response is "Loqi" but yes, CSS is great and learnable and it's a terrific time to be playing with it.

What is PASTA
#
Loqi
PASTA is an acronym/abbreviation for Publish Anywhere, Save To (private) Archive, the practice of automatically saving a copy of whatever you post on (social media) silos to someplace else under your own control, like a private directory on your own server, or a local folder on your laptop that is less vulnerable to site-death https://indieweb.org/PASTA

[KevinMarks] since you brought it up I expect you to reply to Paul noting PASTA is already taken with citation :)

Eventually people will learn to check the IndieWeb wiki before thinking they are inventing something new

I mean, yes, but also, pretty sure he was just making a joke

Ahem, we already have a wiki page for that joke, please be original 😂

I love the Indie Web. I love it so much. Since years. I'm not involved on it but, oh my, I love this little crunchy tasty cherry you all put on your website. So much. 💝

I just reimplemented my homepage and wrote an article on the technical choices I made: https://chris-besch.com/articles/no_framework_homepage

Most interestingly I use React without a framework and Immich as a CMS.

I hope some of that is helpful to others.

@christopher-besc wow, that's an impressive amount of work and technical competence. Great photos too! The one of the tram going into the tunnel is very dramatic.
