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
After a long day, one of my favourite things to do is to get a sandwich from a supermarket. Today I was tempted by a meal deal: a sandwich, some fruit, and a bottle of water. The sandwich to fill me up, the fruit for something sweet (I love fruit!), and a bottle of water to n...

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.
The blank whiteboard
When I am motivated to make new things, my whiteboard becomes a living space. I jot down notes day and night: things I want to do, ideas I want to explore, phrases that come to mind. The ideas I am ready to turn into reality — wireframes, essay ideas, website thoughts — “grad...
Extending my edit web page bookmarklet
I have a bookmarklet called “Edit” which, when clicked, takes me to the editing page of GitHub that corresponds to the page on my website that I am viewing.
I described how the edit bookmarklet works in my post “My static site editing bookmarklet” earlier this year. Since th...
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.

Getting back to work after a conference week. Barely had time for anything else. ...
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
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. 👈
Already made the mistake of accidentally keeping the sign-up form for FeedCity live for a little too long without sufficient spam protection. Emails getting delivered to spam folders now. grrrr
Notes from the world
I like to write down messages that I see written on shirts, pavements, signs. Here are a few from my recent adventures:
I love you Paige
Written on the road up to the Twin Peaks in San Francisco. I read this message after having experienced both the breathtaking views and t...
📄 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:
May the Fourth be with you!There’s a movie discussion podcast that I discovered via my pal Tom Coates (@plasticbag.org @tomcoates@me.dm @tomcoates) when he posted their episode on the movie Gattaca^1 where they had him on as a special guest.Originally started in 2020 as “Dune...
