Daniel Pietzsch Verified Updates instantly via WebSub Supports Webmention Valid

This week was another Homebrew Website Club here in Düsseldorf. Mark and Jochen came around. It was mostly chatting about IndieWeb and AI topics, but each of us also managed to get some work done on one or more of our projects.

I, for example, published a new photo journal entry. And I registered that site with a WebSub hub and send out WebSub notifications for this new post.

I’m also having fun creating these little animated AVIFs of our little group.

What are the things on your bucketlist that being a billionaire would make no difference?When I was in Berlin at the end of last month, I was chatting with my pal Mo, and noted a sticker I’d seen that said “ELON MUSK DIDN’T GET INTO BERGHAIN” with a QR code that linked to: ht...

Autumn

With every passing night, I find myself thinking how the sun now sets a little bit earlier each day. Whereas the sun sets late in the peak of summer – at around ten o' clock at night – the autumn sun falls earlier. I notice change in the air as we move from summer to autumn. ...

While Silicon Valley is training their models on everybody’s copyrighted content and seems to get away with it, UMG is obviously using AI to flood YouTubers with automated copyright claims. Including people like Rick Beato who is doing interviews with the musicians who wrote those songs and talk about them. What does UMG think happens after people watch those videos? Exactly. They open Spotify and listen to the artist. It’s free advertising to >5 million subscribers.

Local Hero (IndieWeb Movie Club)

When I watch Local Hero, I am reminded of how much I love home. Indeed, the movie is a story of someone falling in love with Scotland. The beaches may be cold, but they are beautiful. The skies may be dull, but you can sometimes see the Northern Lights. The phone service in t...

Those recurring, intrusive popups in Photoshop and Illustrator are driving me nuts tbh! You’re working and want to get stuff done quickly with a pro tool – but suddenly, your mind needs to process a “useful” tip about how to use the brush tool? WTF. 😂

I haven't found a way to turn them off other than turning off the contextual task bar completely…

Web remixing

In "Mashups", I explored the question "what is the blog equivalent of a mashup?" The post itself was a mashup of several other posts chosen to complement the ideas I was thinking about. (What better way to figure something out than to try it?) The topic of mashup pertains to ...

Designing a mobile-first HTML editor

Writing HTML on a phone is difficult. To write HTML – like all programming languages – you need to use a lot of symbols. The main symbols that you need for HTML are the open and closing angle brackets (< and >, respectively). On iOS, these are in the tertiary keyboard....

Mastodon shows an "Alt" button in the bottom right of images that have associated alt text. This button, when clicked, shows the alt text the author has written for the image. Here is an example of a post with an attached image that has alt text: The Mastodon user interface s...

The first star

Under the blanket of the late evening, having been in awe at the beauty of the sunset, I looked to the sky and saw a star – a single star. There are other stars out there, but they are not yet visible. My eyes fixate on the first star, feeling awe at the sparkle in the night ...

Golden

Look at the hills! I remark every week at a particular point on a journey through the countryside. They span for miles, I think to myself. The scene is awesome, in the traditional sense of the word. On a bright, clear night like tonight there is often a slight haze above the ...

Between

On the bus this morning, I listened to an album by Death Cab for Cutie, a band whose music I enjoy. As the songs passed by, I noticed there were occasionally small pauses at the end of a track. A few seconds – no more than four or five – but enough to feel that this pause may...

An incremental migration

I recently moved to using Ghost to manage the posts and pages on my website. With Ghost, I now have a user-friendly web interface in which I can format my blog posts and pages. I am especially enjoying the ease with which I can upload images. When I publish a page, a webhook ...

Morning web weaving

This morning I have been doing a bit of work on my website. With a cup of coffee by my side, I have worked on something that I have had on my TODO list all week but haven’t gotten around to: enabling incremental builds for my static website. This feature means that whenever I...
