The problem with relying on commercial services for hosting any of your blog content is that they may only be around 10 or 15 years.
My blog has been around for 29 years and every now and then I need to fix up a bunch of posts from a decade ago because some service shut down.
My personal site (paid for by doing side jobs for people) has outlasted corporations with VC backing and overpaid CEOs who failed.
What's that? I've published a new article on my website?
All other writing has been on hold until I finished it, but my data review of 2025 is finally done π

I have absolutely no idea if it will be of interest to anyone else, but I love these posts. And this year's was using **even more** of my own, home-grown data, captured directly via the very site it now lives on π

Is there already a format for a "bucket llst" slashpage? Presumably including checkmarks and suchlike. Looking forward to seeing a spec at the end of the weekend. #indieweb
Having discovered that 2025 marked the 10 year anniversary of my return to the indie web, I've spent the last six months making small, incremental improvements in just about every part of my web life.
Felt like the right thing to do, on the final day of the year, to write something about these little side quests: #IndieWeb #HappyNewYear #Blogging
The AI-scraper blocklist on my website is now over 400 lines. I think it's time to just block all scrapers. I'm not sure I care any more whether my site ends up in a search engine or not.

Looking back at January, I am watching **way too much** YouTube, particularly Shorts π¬ I also haven't touched my feed reader in *months*!
Let's see what happens in Feb if I delete the YouTube app on my phone, and reorder my apps so that Reader is where it was π€

I like this idea and will probably implement some of them...
