"In an age of information overload & an increasingly commercialized web, #artists of all types are the people to help. Artists can think expansively about what a #website can be. Each #artist should create their own space on the web, for a website is an individual act of collective ambition." — Laurel Schwulst

To anyone aching for renewed inspiration about everything our #websites can be, read & re-read this: thecreativeindependent.com/ess

Screenshot from an essay by Laurel Schwulst. It reads: "Why have a website? Today more than ever, we need individuals rather than corporations to guide the web’s future. The web is called the web because its vitality depends on just that—an interconnected web of individual nodes breathing life into a vast network. This web needs to actually work for people instead of being powered by a small handful of big corporations—like Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, and Google. Individuals can steer the web back to its original architecture simply by having a website. I think artists, in particular, could be instrumental in this space—showing the world where the web can go. Artists excel at creating worlds. They do this first for themselves and then, when they share their work, for others."

Naz Hamid: Your Site Is a Home. “The town square they built wasn’t created for the public good, even if that’s what they told us…. The town square now exists because you’re there and an opportunity exists. Sometimes they’d promote your voice for ‘free.’ People would briefly pay attention to you. And you’d feel really good about that. For a few moments at least. People became […]

Shellsharks: Extending indieweb.txt With Reference Information.. “Indieweb.txt is an idea for sharing information about one’s indie site with the world. It is a proposal which resembles other plain-text, web-bourne, information-sharing documents such as humans.txt and security.txt. As initially proposed, it would contain information such as the tools one uses to implement IndieWeb […]

One of the reason I like static websites is because of the low overhead on the server.

Also you don't have to back up the website because it's already on your computer. Just backup your computer.

And because of this static websites are very portable and can even be run on free hosts. Just be sure to use your own domain so when the free host goes squirelly you can move.

Blogs, audio, video, full websites all have static host solutions.

Found while working on my content curation: Webring List. Webrings are a vintage way to explore the Internet and lately it’s been making a comeback. From the page: “I did a search for these new-style webrings and have so far found the following. Most are for non-commerical, personal sites which is what webrings were originally made for. As the big webring systems have gone, it’s just as easy […]

It feels good in the curent situation to be fully free of any proprietary solution.

#Linux #Debian #FreeBSD on all systems only, own #public #DNS servers on own systems including management.

#Mastodon, #Matrix , #Bridges , #Email , #SOGo #Nextcloud #Owncloud #UnifiedPush #ntfy #HomeAssistant #WebSites mostly done with #Hugo, and far more all self hosted on own systems in the basement or in our housing rack.

Mobiles #GrapheneOS and #LineageOS

Whatever #Trump #Microsoft aso does i dont care
