Revisiting the closed canon
A post I wrote in 2023, the closing of the canon, predicted that LLM answers would replace search results, dramatically lowering traffic to individual sites, thereby removing the incentives to eve...

This is what makes rss so interesting to me. Its boring old tech that fell out of mainstream popularity years ago, yet many sites still support it. Not all, especially ones that come with a good dickover [2].
At the same time, it’s sad to see the human internet dying, even more quickly than before. Not only do we have rampant bots and sites seo maxxing to get to the top. We have ai search overview that answers mose simple questions pretty good, chat that does good, and agents at our fingertips. The need for tutorials is pretty much dead.
What we need now is human experiences shared and documented more than ever. I’ve been writing a whole lot less simply because this transition has been hard. Most of my pre 2024 posts were how to, notes for future me. Things so simple agents just spat out better versions in seconds these days with barely a question.

Fragmentions - linking to any text

I can’t believe I’ve never see this Tim Berners-Lee quote, but I can’t unsee it and will be required to reference it from now on.
eventually every URL ends up as a porn site
I had a friend let his blog domain expire, within a short period it was scooped up and was hosting porn. I don’t know why, but my best guess is that they were holding it ransom with the most embarrassing content to have your personal site replaced with.

fragmention
This post is still WIP. …..
https://indieweb.org/fragmention##Challenges
I’ve been digging through David Bushell’s blog over the past day, he has some
really good ideas about blogging and webdev. One really interesting post I
came accross is
url-fragment-text-directives [1].
I’ve long had id’s linked on my headings, though sometimes broken, or now
showing the link, I’ve done my best to include them. Fragmentions extend this
to allow any text to be linkable like this.

pesos
Pesos is the act of Publish Elsewhere Syncicate to Own Site. It is an indieweb
concept that I recently started applying to my own site.
here does it skip again
Note
See <https://indieweb.org/PESOS> for more information, they have a ton of
information about the indieweb
In short it is the concept of pulling data from other sites that you use and
republishing it to your own site. This gives a single source of information
for you, and protection against sites and apis changing or rug pulling. Other
people might have a lot more use cases for this, but I already begin a lot of
my data right on my site.
GitHub stars # [1]
I am using the github api to get a list of my stars and then create posts in
the github repo for my blog. This allows me to keep track of things I star on
GitHub in my own way, and share them out with my rss feeds.
