burgeonlab solonovamax: Try checking https://botpoison.com/ I use the free tier for my site's contact form. It's invisible. I also use Turnstile for another form on my secondary blog, and luckily I haven't had any issues and no clicks are needed most of the time. Overall I like the invisible captcha more.

stephthegeek Good morning! Web creator since the mid 90s looking for like minded folks to hang around with. Have recently been cheating on handcoding my personal site (stephthegeek.com) using Carrd for some pages, but still old school web person at heart 😉

[artlung] https://indieweb.org/Kapowski references Google's service Tenor which allowed for GIF search. Looks like Tenor is shutting down. New signups no longer avaulable as of today. Full decommissioning planned for end of June 2025. https://support.google.com/tenor/answer/10455265#whatll-happen-to-the-tenor-api&zippy=%2Cwhatll-happen-to-the-tenor-api
# girlonthemoon this will wreck the discord gif economy lol

# [schmarty] oh, wow, i missed this from my first read-through: "We are making this change to focus our resources on enhancing the main Tenor experience."
# [schmarty] "We sincerely appreciate your partnership and the innovative ways you have integrated Tenor into your applications. Your contributions have helped shape the Tenor ecosystem."
# [schmarty] so: thanks for the ideas, jerkos, now get out so we can monetize
# [artlung] [tantek] you and your words and photo are in this post by MacManus. https://cybercultural.com/p/history-of-web-design/

# f_disc If I bought a personal domain name and wanted to host some plain html stuff on there, ideas, visual experiments etc… Is that a good idea or would you buy another domain for it? The domain isn’t my name but it is what I use for my email address since moving from Google. Any thoughts?
# f_disc Can I exclude it from search engines? So if I made a subdomain and hosted some stuff on there if someone had the link they could see it and people could link on third websites but it wouldn’t be organically discoverable?
