I finally ported across all my blog posts to my #gemlog. Gonna try to keep it up to date from now on.

Ah, and also, forgot to mention this change:
Improved:
• Debugging your Kitten app is now easier when you run it using `INSPECT=true kitten …` as the Node runtime is launched using the `--inspect-brk` tag instead of the `--inspect` tag. This means that execution will wait for your debugger (e.g., Chromium’s DevTools at `chrome://inspect`, etc.) to connect before starting the server. This makes it possible to hit breakpoints that might previously have been impossible to reach as they occured before you had a chance to run the debugger.
Full change log:
https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2025-08-12
New Kitten Release
Housekeeping:
• Updated runtime version to Node version 22.18.0 (latest LTS).
• Removed `--experimental-global-customevent` in node launch command (as `CustomEvent` is no longer behing the CLI flag since Node v19.0.0)
• Renamed `--experimental-loader` flag to `--loader` as the experimental prefix is no longer required.
Enjoy!
@epilanthanomai I started building websites in 1998 and never had the desire to work with big corporate clients. I just didn't want the web to become the realm of capitalism and I had no interest in aiding in that process. All my sites have been for small non-profits and small businesses. HTML, CSS and little else other than photos when needed. No trackers, no JS.
One mistake I DID make was using google fonts but going forward no more of that.

My book/comic review blog has been overhauled, with a full index and vastly improved navigation. 260+ fantasy/horror/SF reviews, some of them even kinda thoughtful!
@CursedSilicon This happens in such way, in my opinion, because the tools being told about, are designed for very specific workloads, that are: so called "mission critical" (its downtime cost money)
readiness for massive requests spike, let it be fame, DDoS attack, or "Kiss of Fediverse" (see
)
If you need tools in different mindset, you probably need to see #SmallWeb tools like what this person does: @aral
Hi, fedi! I'm crawling out of my hermit hole to share my new app, TumblBee, with you all
https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee
TumblBee is a pay-what-you-want cross-platform app for exporting your original #Tumblr posts (and pages) to Markdown or HTML. Back up your content and browse it locally, or export to Markdown and drop your posts into your favorite static site generator. (There's even a guide to exporting for Obsidian, if that's your thing.)
If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear about it! Boosts are, as always, hugely appreciated
Thanks so much!
Today my blog turns seventeen years old, and my website that it is part of is now twenty-nine years old
New blog post up. Using statistics for fun, science and art

I thought I'd share some of the sites, webrings, challenges, events and directories where my site has been linked on!

More progress done. Some code refactor here and there, some security things like avoiding access to not authorized files and paths, gophermaps already supported... not bad at all
Funny story of the day: I was testing the program and I was excited because everything worked fine. Suddenly I realized a thing was working but it shouldn't. Why was it working? Because the data I was using didn't cover that specific use case yet
hi hello I wrote up a little #blog #post about cooking up my own theme for hugo:
https://www.robyns.space/2025/08/creating-my-site-theme-from-xmin/
my host is blocking link previews from being pulled so here's a screengrab instead.
it's the 34th birthday of the world wide #web so it's a great day to share the upcoming deadline for #writing submissions to GOOD INTERNET! two and a half weeks away!!!
in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET is an #indie print AND digital magazine that is run & contributed to by volunteers!
#goodinternet covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an #art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!
you don't have to be a pro #webdev or a #coding whiz to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web.
we want to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech and unhealthy #socialmedia habits.
we're looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, any digital (and traditional) artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, social media expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned web.
the deadline is August 22, 2025
please boost and help get the word out!
@midzer For v0. 0.1 I decided to go with a pre-made theme. It came with a js bundle that I think is used for a drop-down menu & banner?
I haven't investigated it in too much detail as I am actually working on my own theme right now, which will be #JavaScript free
New entry on my personal blog!

Here is my #blaugust post for today. It is about how I used Dokuwiki and its user-made extensions to set up my blog, and a small section with other options for Neocities or SSG users.
"May 2025 IndieWeb Carnival Roundup"
About Small Web communities:
"I think of them as places where the feeling of knowing someone is ubiquitous. Maybe I’m romanticizing, but I imagine that interacting in a small web community feels like going for a walk through the neighborhood where you lived for many years: you meet people you haven’t seen for quite a while, see others that you never talked to but know for a long time, and meet some new people who just moved there or are just visiting. There is a feeling of being home, and this is what I also want for my online experience."
"So where do we go now? How do we find people with similar interests in 2025. How do we rebuild small web communities and find each other? Where do the weird, socially awkward teens with highly niche interests go? They probably need this more than me. We need to build something for ourselves, it has started. Blogging is back (it never went away for some), webrings too."

Oh, am 2. August gab es einen weltweiten "HTML Day".
Aus Deutschland sehe ich Hamburg und Berlin vertreten.
Schade, dass ich davon zu spät erfahre!
