Next Thursday, May 22nd at 6 pm, there’s going to be a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf. Co-organised by Schepp and myself, we plan this to be the first HWC event in a series of regular events.
I quote from the IndieWeb wiki page to explain what an HWC is:
Homebrew Website Club is a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from social media silos, and own their online identities & content, or just want support with blogging!
So, if you’re interested in this sort of thing, and can make it to Düsseldorf, you’d be very welcome to join. (We still have to confirm the location, and will update the event page as soon as possible.)

the rhythm of writing.
The joy of
Seeing someone wear an Eras Tour t-shirt (if you know you know). Writing with the glow of the sunset radiating through the window. The detail of the hand-painted illustration on the wall in a coffee shop. Saying something that makes someone laugh. A colleague leaving a sticker on my desk. Dream big., it read. Basking in the sun at lunchtime on a warm spring day. Sharing ideas with friends. Writing stories. Imagining.
The park
technica11y pausiert ab Mai 2025. Nach den Ereignissen zur letzte Episode werde ich die Zeit nutzen, das Format zu reflektieren, Versäumnisse aufzuarbeiten und weiterzuentwickeln. Ziel ist, meiner Verantwortung besser gerecht zu werden, den Webcast bewusster zu gestalten, Perspektivenvielfalt zu stärken und den Austausch in der Community besser zu fördern. Ich suche nach einer passenderen Form. Danke an alle, die #technica11y bisher begleitet und geprägt haben — auch mit kritischen Stimmen.

BERLIN DESIGN Connect
BERLIN DESIGN Connect is planned as a community gathering as part of the Berlin Design Week 2025. Right before I went deep into the last bits and pieces for beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2025, I have been invited to be part of it.
The event has three different stages plus networking space and I am part of the “Community Panel” together with Ana Regidor, Felicitas Schmittinger and Harshini Karunaratne as well as a Community Space where people can get information about beyond tellerrand.
Next to all this, workshops and talks are planned also. Find the full program on this page

Extending my edit web page bookmarklet
The email delivery problems seem to have eased and from what I can see, emails seem to get delivered again phew. I’ve also now improved the look and content of said emails. And for every list’s feeds - such as IndieWeb feeds - there’s now an OPML version/export available.
Running For Re-election in the 2025 W3C Advisory Board (AB) Election
Last Friday I published my second Cybersecurity Friday post with three more key steps for cybersecurity. In summary:1. Different email address for each account, AKA email masking. Use or create a different email alias for each service you sign-up for.2. Different password for each account. This is a well known security technique against credential stuffing attacks.3. Use a password manager to autofill. Always using a password manager to autofill your login username (or email) and password can be a very effective method of reducing the chances of being phished.Full post with details: https://tantek.com/2025/122/b1/more-steps-indieweb-cybersecurity#CyberSecurity Friday #cyber #securityPreviously: https://tantek.com/2025/055/t1/three-steps-indieweb-cybersecurity

📗 Want to read Things Become Other Things by Craig Mod ISBN: 9780593732540
After four days of events, I’m feeling energized and exhausted at the same time. Had lots of great conversations and a fantastic time at both IndieWebCamp and Beyond Tellerrand! 👉 Florian’s photos: Monday, Tuesday. 👈

Notes from the world
📄 FeedCity
I made a new thing: a feed reader called FeedCity, available at https://feed.city. The main reason for adding yet another feed reader to the already huge pile, is that I couldn’t find an existing one with the features I’d like to have. Here’s how FeedCity is different, I believe:
