approaching software differently these days...
switching my life over to free and #opensource projects has heightened my curiosity and got me interested in the web again...
stuff like #smolweb #indieweb #linux #singlepurposetech #lemmy #solarpunk #neocities #html #css
im seeing how my anarcho-socialist worldview blends into my special interests: #movement #music #medicine #moment
i came across #permacomputing yesterday and haven't stopped thinking about it since
@KrissyKat "I bought a Meshtastic compatible device, a Heltec V3 LoRa transceiver, to do some experimenting with the DIY messaging system. It can be used off-grid to communicate in situations where cell phones are not available, for example. I'm still learning how to use it. I have connected it to the MQTT server run by Chicagoland Mesh and have been checking out the group chat channel by replying to people sending test messages to let them know I saw them. I did see a message sent from an airplane passing through the Chicago area skies this morning which was pretty great."
This is awesome!
Woah, I wondered why I was getting a small influx of followers on #Neocities lately. Apparently, my blog is in the top spot in the Special Sauce section (which I've never been before)!
I'm honestly not sure what you have to do to even get on the Special Sauce list, but on Neocities, that's kinda a big deal!

it's the 34th birthday of the world wide #web so it's a great day to share the upcoming deadline for #writing submissions to GOOD INTERNET! two and a half weeks away!!!
in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET is an #indie print AND digital magazine that is run & contributed to by volunteers!
#goodinternet covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an #art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!
you don't have to be a pro #webdev or a #coding whiz to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web.
we want to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech and unhealthy #socialmedia habits.
we're looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, any digital (and traditional) artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, social media expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned web.
the deadline is August 22, 2025
please boost and help get the word out!
I still share posts from people I follow on Substack, because I get the exhaustion that can come with constantly switching platforms and these people and their perspectives are meaningful to me. I never made much money at Substack, but if it’s a primary means of income it would be hard to leave—so yeah, it was relatively easy for me to stop using it as a creator a couple of years ago (and quit Patreon, too), but I understand why people haven’t yet.
This piece adds insights that, in addition to Substack’s recent billionaire purchase, make me even more glad I moved my creative writing elsewhere. I looked into Ghost, too, and still felt hesitation (perhaps because they use Stripe?—I don’t remember), so I’ve gone the Neocities route, giving up monetization for the most part. It’s a tough landscape out there at the moment. Happy to be in my Mastodon/Neocities bubble and building community in more interdependent ways.
The short sci-fi "resistance of Saint/Valentine" is available for free in a new format.

Hmm ... tried to upload them all on #neocities and the upload front end converted all the `+` into whitespaces in the filenames. Legit enough except that when requested to show e.g. https://pppteam.neocities.org/blogthumbs/thumbs_files/i13971613-5-Screenshot_2021-01-25+MekaSkull+on+Twitter.png, it does not realise that it's the same than https://pppteam.neocities.org/blogthumbs/thumbs_files/i13971613-5-Screenshot_2021-01-25%20MekaSkull%20on%20Twitter.png ...
These SHOULD be same, right ?
Just set up an original comic on Neocities. The comic is like an MSPA/MSPFA - you get to tell the characters how to act and develop. The main page should hopefully get UI upgrades as time goes on, but it's serviceable right now.
I'm only on the first page - new panels will be added semi-regularly, you can check it out here!

Postagem nova no blógue 
! Sobre as notícias recentes do shadowban de jogos adultos do itch.io devido o monopólio de pagamentos:

Got me a #neocities site...
Two things seem interesting immediately: it can do #markdown (so I could use Simple Markdown on my phone and blog during my commute!)
And you can map your site as a drive on your PC, totally compatible with the idea for the #SiteMaker idea I spoke about so many moons ago!
Aoba! Passando aqui para dizer que tem post novo no blógue, no post falo sobre o bootleg anarquista do tintin:
https://punkytrio.neocities.org/posts/2025-07-22-Leia-o-bootleg-anarquista-do-Tintin-gostoso-demais
been wondering about this lately and wanted to ask if others have been thinking about this too (take two).
what does the indie web need the most right now? if that’s kinda hard to answer, to phrase it in another way: if you could snap your fingers and add one of these to the #indieweb, which do you think would have the biggest positive impact?
I have a website now! https://stardustverse.neocities.org/
The bulk of it is about my worldbuild and writing project (Stardust), though I plan to add sections about me, my philosophy, or some sort of blog. It is under construction and updated near daily, but is very usable as is. Check it out especially if you're interested in my writing!
Primeira postagem do blógue já está lançada:
https://punkytrio.neocities.org/posts/2025-07-14-Devlog-CBB-1-Sonorizacao-Hotwheels
e é um devlog do jogo de chutar facho, que agora tem som!
