Heydon's "Webbed Briefs" are thouroughly enjoyable, so please sit back, hop over to his site and learn something about something that's very dear to me. The web and the mess it has become in parts.

Keep on Posting in the Free Web
The news of the shut-down of one of (my) oldest got-to places on the web, the "Fender Discussion Pages", has made me think, again, about how the web has changed. Hey Hey, my my content on the web will never die… I am a strong advocat for 'owning your content' and having a personal web…
Can “Indie” Social Media Save Us? – Cal Newport, The New Yorker
A nice article about the IndieWeb, published on a paywalled site ("you have three articles left this month") ??♂️. I find it a bit too focussed on servers and social media platforms, but with the right angle about 'engineered adictiveness'.
Take back your web - Tantek Çelik @ Beyond Tellerrand Conference, Düsseldorf 2019
Watch this. Understand this. For quite a while now I really think we are at a crucial point in the history of the web.
Webmentions are Hot
Drüben bei A List Apart ist ein Artikel von Chris Aldrich erschienen, der sich mit Webmentions befasst. Put simply, Webmention is a (now) standardized protocol that enables one website address (URL) to notify another website address that the former contains a reference to the latter. It also allows the latter to verify the authenticity of…
The indieweb privacy challenge (webmentions, silo backfeeds, and the GDPR) - Sebastian Greger
A thorough article on the current challenges, technically and ethically, regarding the use of elsewhere published public data that can be regarded as 'personal data' in the GDPR/DSGVO sense. Data that will be published for example by pulling in likes, shares and comments posted on Twitter here in my blog, as 'reactions' alongside with 'real'…
Stell’ Dir vor, Du löschst sieben Jahre Inhalt und keiner merkts
Wisst Ihr was interessant ist? Ich habe vor gut zwei, drei Wochen meine kompletten selbst erstellten Inhalte auf Facebook gelöscht*. Alle Posts, Shares, Fotos etc; 7 Jahre Material. Gestern mal in der Kohlenstoffwelt nachgefragt, von meinen ‘Freunden’ hat es niemand bemerkt. In dem ganzen Gerausche kuckt eh niemand auf die Profile/Seiten, sondern nur auf das…
The Web began dying in 2014, here's how - André Staltz
It looks like nothing changed since 2014, but GOOG and FB now have direct influence over 70%+ of internet traffic. (…) GOOG’s goal is to gather as much rich data as possible, and build AI. Their mission is to have an AI provide timely and personalized information to us, not specifically to have websites provide…
Putting the 'I' in Indieweb
It's about time for a write-up of the latest tweaks and developments on my site to get this note/status posting and syndicating over to twitter working, which is still a little bit messy, a mixture of plugins and self-made hacks. There's still plenty to do, but slowly it is coming together: - I am using…
Add class attribute to WordPress "the_tags" markup
I'm in the process of gradually enhancing my site's markup with microformats, in order to "indiewebify" my site further. On thing I noticed while working on this at the Düsseldorf Indiewebcamp, is that WordPress (or the way my theme handles) tags on posts has no way to get an additional class inside the link markup.…
Webmention Semantic Linkbacks Facepile Display Hickup solved
(or: a hurray for open source) Wow, what a headline! :-)) There was a tiny issue with the display of "webmention" reactions in my theme that annoyed me a little bit: On older posts, the summary of that post (for example in archive view or search results) would show in the meta-info something like "23…
