Neuer Style für meinen Blog
https://blog.sengotta.net/neuer-style-fuer-meinen-blog/
Wer regelmäßig hier vorbei schaut dürfte es schon bemerkt haben: mein Blog sieht anders aus. Meinen Blog gibt es nun fast 13 Jahre, und das ist nun das zweite mal das ich auf ein anderes Theme gewechselt bin.
Ich wollte etwas was ein bisschen minimalistischer ist. Fündig geworden bin ich bei Rolf Strathewert und seinem wunderschönen Theme Verdandi. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Arbeit. Fun fact: Rolf wohnt auch in NRW und betreibt genau wie ich eine eigene GoToSocial im Fediverse.
Ich habe auch etliche der Widgets die sich in der Seitenleiste befanden restlos gestrichen, da Sie meiner Meinung nach keinen wirklichen Sinn gemacht haben. Ob ich überhaupt noch einmal eine Seitenleiste einfüge wird sich zeigen. Vielleicht um meine Fediverse Posts auch auf meinem Blog anzeigen zu lassen.
Zeitweise habe ich mich auch gefragt ob ich WordPress nicht komplett den Rücken kehre, aber ein Static Site Generator war mir dann doch zu unflexibel was das mobile editieren von Artikel angeht etc. von der Arbeit 15 Jahre Blogposts etc umzuziehen ganz zu schweigen.
Was mir auch wichtig war ist die Activity Pub Funktionen besser zu nutzen. Ich werde im Blog auf die Standard Kommentare von WordPress verzichten (und damit hoffentlich auch auf die Spam Problematik), wer kommentieren will kann das über das Fediverse tun.
Es soll auch in Zukunft noch eine „Über mich“ Seite und eine Seite hinzukommen die beschreibt wie man dem Blog über das Fediverse oder via RSS folgen kann.
Aber das wird ein längerer Prozess werden. Ich bin erst einmal froh das ich diesen Schritt gemacht habe und auch wieder ein bisschen häufiger zum bloggen komme.

Help...
Does anyone around here know about https://tangled.sh/ ?
What would prevent me from using it as a mirror with my Forgejo instance while they implement Federations ?
I mean, it's on ATProto, not ActivityPub, so it would be replaced eventually...
Or maybe that's a more interesting solution for federating repositories altogether ?
What are your thoughts ?
(up @vilhelmbergsoe for showing me this great project)

昨天剛看到問可以 self-hosted 支援 ActivityPub 的 blog 平臺，今天就看到 Ghost 6.0 也支援 ActivityPub 了，但是找不到那條嘟文了😶

So nachdem mein Wordpress Blog gut 9-10 Jahre das gleiche Styling hatte haben ich ihm mal ein bisschen frisch gemacht und auch mit den Activity Pub Funktionen ein bisschen rumgespielt.
Ich denke noch drüber nach ob ich dem Hintergrund eine Art Papier Struktur verpasse, oder ihn einfach so weiß lasse.
Cookie Hinweis ist auch weg denn so wie ich das sehe setzt mein Blog garkeine Cookies. Antispam brauche ich hoffentlich nicht mehr da ich nicht mehr die interne Kommentar Funktion nutze sondern die Kommentare zukünftig über das Fediverse kommen.
Wenn ich da was bzgl. Privatssphäre etc. etc. vergessen haben sollte dann schreibt mich an.
Den GPG Schlüssel habe ich endlich auch mal gegen den neuen getauscht.
Und bei uberblogr ist der Blog nun auch gemeldet (warte aber noch auf freischaltung)

Destroying Autocracy – August 21, 2025
Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.
It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.
DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.
As noted last week, I am willing to spend 10 of my retirement hours weekly on The Programmer’s Fulcrum. It’s the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy.
*You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to and featured articles for each week’s Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion “Destroying Autocracy” post. And you’ll be set with TPF after the fusing.

The geek answer (bad faith or blindness): “If only everyone learned to code, then society would be fairer.”
The activist answer: Code is part of the landscape, but culture, governance, and lived practice matter more. We don’t escape domination by teaching more people to type commands, we escape by changing what we do together with the tools.
Why “teach everyone to code” has become a dead-end slogan – it’s been tried, it’s been funded, and yet it hasn’t shifted power one bit. If anything, it’s reinforced the tech priesthood instead of breaking it.

In other words, #ActivityPub and #DataSpaces alike tools for all the things ✨. Solid pods are brilliant btw - I got to work on a client project some months ago and I think the technology is already usable, with a lot more to come.

First, it looks a bit strange. HTML attributes, tags and elements wrapped in C? But it's quick! And @grunfink@comam.es had a great idea of simplifying it with the helper functions to even close them again. The more I adjusted all the things in #snac / #snac2 to my personal needs, the closer I had a look to the code base after being absent to snac for almost a bit more than a year. He made a really great job!

Via @ieeespectrum:
"Web 3.0 is poised to change this dynamic by returning ownership to the data owners. This is not speculative; it’s already emerging. For example, #ActivityPub the protocol behind decentralized social networks like Mastodon, combines content sharing with built-in attribution."

Did anybody manage to follow a Wordpress site using the ActivityPub Event Bridge from Mobilizon?
All I get is "This instance is pending follow approval" from Mobilizon and no sign of any following request in Wordpress.
