"[IndieWeb] is a collective memory of experiments, some successful and some not, from a group of experimenters that has changed greatly over time."

In the #indieweb chat there’s a helpful bot named Loqi that answers questions from the wiki and lets us add countdowns. Sometimes the bot seems like magic and there’s jokes about it gaining sentience. To that end, I apparently added a countdown in 2018 for 6 years out: “Loqi can drive.” It was something I set and forgot, so it gave me a laugh to get the countdown notification today.
You can also “give” Loqi things and it will respond with random things, so this funny exchange happened afterward:
gRegor gives Loqi a car
Loqi laughs at the car
gRegor gives Loqi a cybertruck
Loqi gives back the cybertruck
See, smart bot.
The recent chatter about #microformats turning 20 reminded me I’d re-found this book by @johnallsopp when I was clearing out the loft a few years ago.
I kept putting microformats into my markup for years, even though I was convinced no one was using them any more. Then I discovered people had moved on to v2 in #indieweb circles and I had some catching up to do 😂
There are real downsides to running my website on VPS I sysadmin myself & a homegrown pile of code in JavaScript, Python, Swift, and Zsh. The code is all over the place in every sense of the phrase.
But I can personally guarantee that it'll keep working and remain available so long as I can afford the DNS and VPS fees. I can't say that about any other place I post on the internet.
Own your own space on the web. Post there. Write there. Link to it from your various accounts elsewhere. #indieweb
