The indie web in 2030
In 2030, my greatest hope for the indie web is that it is a place where people feel free to create, to experiment, and to always be able to ask – and act on the answers to – the question “what do I want this place to be?”

Designing for inactive users
Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, is relatively computationally intensive in that every hour, Artemis checks web feeds to which users are subscribed to see if there are new posts to save and show in a user’s feed.

Rabbit Quest Geohashing 20251219-B-AY68O8
* On foot
* 41.8703, 12.4458
* 8 December 2025
* 427.73 ppm CO2
* OpenStreetMap: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=41.870263&mlon=12.455828#map=14/41.87026/12.45583

Yesterday was the last HWC of 2025. It’s been good discussions - as always - but we also collectively worked on each others websites. Mainly in regards to CSS.
The first HWC DUS in 2026 will be on Jan. 22nd.
Not disgusting, unfamiliar
Documentally, whom I have followed in various places for a while, alerted me to a museum that completely passed me by when I was in Berlin a few weeks ago: the Digusting Food Museum. I doubt I would have sprung for the €16 it apparently required, though I might next time if ...
Ground Down
Treasures of the Pharoahs is a stunning exhibition on at the moment at the Scuderie in Rome. Only a handful of objects, beautifully displayed and with glorious interpretation, unlike, say, the old Cairo Museum. One object in particular caught my eye.
Yes, a woman grinding ...
A small fix
I have a page on my site, /post, which lists all of my blog posts. For at least the last year, the HTML document title used on the page has been Posts in the Post Category. This is because the page uses the same template as my other category pages. Posts in the Coffee Catego...
