Octothorpes are hashtags and backlinks that can be used on regular websites, connecting pages across the open internet regardless of where they're hosted.

Reinventing the wheel, but every time different. The author shares its experience.
Consider standards for it: they are powerful.

Some wheels I see that I think could use some new takes but which I don’t have the time/energy to do myself:

• Web browsers - probably the most significant. The browser market is essentially a monopoly right now. And Firefox is pretty much the only alternative option, somewhat of a monopoly in itself. We need to have many independent browser projects going on, not just an alternative.
• Higher education - this is probably too big a project for any one person, but I think there’s a lot of ground that needs new work and reevaluating in the world’s current higher education system.
• Task management - there are a lot of task management systems out there, but I think there’s still definitely room for more. I’m personally beginning to settle on a hybrid analog/digital task management system I’m designing myself.

Outside the grasp of social media nad the commercial web sits a broad community of people with personal websites and blogs. [...] The community has received many names:

• The Small Web contrasts this community with the “Big Web”, valuing personal ownership over scale.
• The IndieWeb also values personal ownership of websites, providing numerous technical standards and proposals to help facilitate interaction between different people’s blogs.
• Web 1.0 rejects the hype of “Web 2.0” apps, using simple, straightforward technologies to build websites.
• The Blogosphere is an old term that’s been around since 1999, referencing the community of bloggers.
• The Web Revival is the concept shared by many that this community has been growing and making a comeback.

This web relies on the hyperlinks.

There is the classic web Discovery with Blogrolls, Webrings and Feeds.

and search engines that are wonderful tools to find a specific thing, but they shouldn't be the only discovery tool, because they only show a subset of the available information.

That's why Clew highlights the small independent websites "to make discovering what real people think easier". Other search engines are doing this:

• Marginalia
• Unobtanium
• Stract
• Lieu focus on webrings.
• Mwmbl - curated by the users.
• Search My Site crawls user-submitted sites
• Wiby for websites using older technology, great for use on vintage computers.
• YaCy - a decentralized search engine
• PeARS - A search engine that can be run in the browser, without needing a server.
• Mojeek - an independent search engine

Another idea to bring back a healthier web is to provide blogrolls in the OPML format directly: https://opml.org/blogroll.opml.
Jamesg.blog created the Artemis Link Graph web extension. It lists the web pages authored by people you follow that link to the page you are viewing.

All of these has one limitation: much of the independent web today is made up of people with similar interests, in technology in particular.

Rather than helping you build a sitewide design, readable.css provides a base default that is both sensible and beautiful.

You benchmark your node/ruby/python software on a fancy Macbook M4 and celebrate 500ms response time.

I benchmark my rust software on a $30 potato computer that may as well have 256MB of RAM and celebrate 800ms response time.

Mais pour que cette tolérance soit valable, il faut un accord écrit, clair et formalisé (exemple : un acte de servitude). Un simple échange verbal ne suffit pas.

From what we can observe, most people with significant wealth seem to be peculiar in two particular ways: Appearing not wise enough to recognize and know that their wealth means another’s poverty and that that’s actually relevant because ultimately, they can only be truly well if everyone is well, and that they, too, live in a climate catastrophe from which they cannot escape, even if they built themselves the most sophisticated bunker.

Appearing not courageous enough to act to use their fortunes for the greater good and for everyone’s well-being, because they seem so afraid they would not have enough, even though they already have way more than enough (and will keep enough) to live a comfortable and fulfilling life, and to move away from their ways of “making” money, especially when these ways include exploiting and damaging people, animals, or planet, out of the same fear of not having enough, or other fears like not being able to replicate their success or being admired for it.

There’s some superb (and superbly sad) irony here that millionaires and billionaires are in the best
position to be role models, by doing amazing things for the well-being and advancement of mankind (and all species)

Some useful tips in the CLCLI to handle dotfiles and customization of the shell.

But over time, I think I discovered a better way: a script in my $PATH.

Benefits of scripts over aliases:

• No reloading; changes are picked up immediatly
• Choice of programming language
• Complex logic can be implemented
• More portable between shells

Aliases have certain benefits:

• special syntax (cd.. for cd .. with space)
• completion
• conditional definition
• easier to bypass with unalias
• brevity: it's a one liner
• performance: alias are 100x faster.

Le RGPD est impraticable puisqu'il faut identifier tous les sites qui détiennent des données personnelles, trouver leur formulaire de suppression, envoyer une demande conforme, relancer s'ils ne répondent pas et recommencer tous les 3 à 6 mois, parce qu'ils recollectent les informations.

Incogni gère extactement cela.

So if you wanted people to read your blog, you had to make it compelling enough that they would visit it, directly, because they wanted to. And if they wanted to respond to you, they had to do it on their own blog, and link back.

There are bright spots [for blogging], though. I fear we’re in a newsletter bubble (how many subscriptions can one person pay for?)

Some of the best blogs have evolved and expanded. Independent media is more important than ever, and Donald Trump’s recent attempts to censor mainstream outlets, comedians he doesn’t like, and “leftist” professors underscore the fact that speech is critical.

it’s actually a lot harder to intimidate a million different outlets, each run by a single determined person.

If someone wants to be read, it has to be compelling enough that visitors would come.
