sourceWelcome to volume twenty-one of Scrolls, a newsletter for sharing cool stuff from the IndieWeb, Fediverse & Cybersecurity realms. This week we catch up on weeks lost, we reject the “whatever web”, are reminded why the Fediverse is awesome, and I share an assortment of infosec tid-bits.
Hey everyone! I’m back. Or maybe I’m not? Who can tell these days. Yes, this is a new issue of Scrolls—the first in quite some time. I’d like to say that I plan to resume my once-established weekly cadence, but in all honesty I’m not sure I can realistically commit. Where have I been you might ask? Well, as I’m sure you are aware, the world is a li’l bit upside down these days, and sometimes it’s enough to just stay afloat. I guess I’ll leave it at that. With that said, I’ve kept an eye on things across my various social platforms and usual feeds and as such, have been saving a lot of stuff I’d normally have shared earlier via this “newsletter”. So, here we go—a bunch of stuff from bygone weeks…
IndieWeb
The web is meant to be a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be whatever. We’re meant to have fun. We’re meant to be silly. We’re meant to share (check this out!). We’re meant to socialize. We’re meant to write. The common theme is “we”. We, as in humans. Not robots. Not “AI”. Not corporatations. What would it know anyways, regarding the truths of our existence? Let’s take back the web. Want to help? Just go be you on the web.
Speaking of the web, both past and future. Don’t forget to celebrate yourself for the years you’ve spent making the web a better, more human place. For example, Stephen hit 10 years and Bob keeps us updated on his blogs status. So what does the IndieWeb need? More of this kinda stuff. More Stephen’s, Bob’s and you!
Catching up on a few other things from the past couple weeks…
- RSS is awesome (and powerful). Long live RSS!
- Remember to secure your domain.
- Get off Substack!
Fediverse
I’ve been more casually keeping an eye on my Fedi feeds the past few months, but as I have settled back into my more-traditional Fedi-first scrolling routines, I am reminded—the Fediverse is awesome! We’ve got the best graphics, the best accounts and the best people.
Here’s some other cool Fedi stuff…
Cybersecurity
Just because I went away doesn’t mean teh cyberz did. Here’s some stuff I’ve saved over the past few weeks/months…
