“The simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.” — Jarrett Fuller
Das Europaparlament zeigt auf einer neuen Website, wie die EU das Leben ihrer Bürgerinnen und Bürger konkret beeinflusst. Das Parlament hofft so auf mehr Interesse und Akzeptanz vor der Europawahl. Ein Website-Check. Von Niklas Bohlen.
Silly question, but I'll ask anyway. 🫣 #NotATechie
Is there any danger to visiting a #website that got hacked?
Didn't click anything. Just went to the website, found some evil #hacker with nothing better to do had taken over the site, and immediately closed the browser tab. Anything for me to worry about? 😶🍪
Fast Internet is not really available these days. Not because of the connection, but because of the excessive data flow and JavaScript application on the pages. In my opinion, this is often too much of a good thing.
As an "independent source" it was used by politicians, students, and many everyday people alike.
It was used for #publications & #documentaries, and triggered some inquires where I assisted in shaping national & international political statements. It's been fun & fulfilling 🙂
In today's siloed internet its usefulness is gone. No more days with 5.000 unique visitors & multiple email inquires.
Why not get a SSL certificate from an european company?
And why not at least include Mastodon to the sharing snippet if they have their own instance (https://social.network.europa.eu/explore)?

<strong>sudo dpkg -l | grep php | tee packages.txt</strong>
<strong>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php</strong><strong><em> # Press enter when prompted.</em></strong>
After successful installation of Caddy go to the following link and update /etc/caddy/Caddyfile accordingly. Don’t forget to replace nixorigin.one with your own domain !

I recommend not publishing on Medium, for starters.
Full disclosure, I opened the article to see if its 2024 #accessibility recommendations were the same as the 2004 or 2014 recommendations (headings, alt text, contrast, etc.) but now I cannot be sure what new insights it contains. #a11y
@aardrian@writers 2/2 My conclusion is always the same: My #WordPress#website is the most #independent#medium: I own and manage my data myself. My normal provider is cheaper than any platform. I can make WordPress newsletter-capable with a plug-in, integrate it into Fediverse and implement payment systems. All traffic comes to me, not to external companies. Addresses are not lost. Disadvantage: Because I'm not famous, I have to attract readers myself. But I also have to do that on platforms!
Anybody have some simple #coding recommendation for adding #mastodon content to a static HTML site? I want to incorporate a live element that follows a certain hashtag. I have a couple ways I can do this:
I can periodically run a program that does stuff, generates HTML, and publishes a new version of my static page. (e.g., every 5 minutes)
I could incorporate some kind of #javascript element so that the browser does the pull, but it needs to pull a feed off some server, right?
I have some other questions in this area. Safari removes list semantics if you remove the bullets (with exceptions, such as if the list is a child of "nav"), due to alleged "list-itis". At what point do lists become inappropriate? If I have a list of blog posts, and I format them as cards, with a heading, publish date, summary, and an image, is that too much content for each <li>?
Also, MDN and WHATWG point out not all links should be contained in navs (such as footer links), and "nav" should instead signal major blocks of navigation links. Would my prior example of a list of blog posts count as a major block? Should I enclose my list of blog posts in a nav? Does that extend to all section, category, and tag pages listing pages in that section/category/tag?
Feel free to respond if you have opinions, but keep it civil, and boosts are appreciated.
Prepare yourself, we're about to toot the horn of MetaFilter!
Mecran01 has shared a post from someone who joined MetaFilter in the early 2000s and grew up reading the site. It's a reflection on themselves, and the site, through changing times personally and on the internet.
Recently updated the #solarpunk page on my #website which has a rundown of my involvement with it and where I'm coming from. Not sure if I shared it here before, but it's taking shape into a #narrative I like.

Landing page? Done. Author page? Done . . . Now the hard part, i.e. moving this blog off a “corporate” WordPress theme and back onto something custom-written . . .
