Thinking of my #IndieWeb friends.. I added OpenTelemetry to my site (mostly as a technical exercise) and I'm quite often monitoring Nginx's `access.log`.. I've got Cloudflare activated and turned on all the anti-bot settings.. but so much still gets through. I'm basically blocking any Tencent […]

Venjent hitting us with this absolute emotional banger of a bike alarm beeping.. > How did you hack into my love > As soon as I built up the trust.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHCTTa8UP9U #Venjent #Music #Video

Added a 👍️ Thumbs Up button to all my (content) pages. Got the idea from Bearblog. It's meant for people who interact with my content from my site, but don't have their own #IndieWeb setup. #IndieWeb

Help #Bonfire get reach their goal, they're really close! https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community #Bonfire #SocialMedia

I might be proximity biased, but never skip a #Doggerland video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfvnR8ZHi-8 #StefanMilo #History #Video #Doggerland

YouTubers from the US who get sponsored by Upside and start their sales pitch with "Gas isn't cheap, but luckily.." as if they don't live in 99th percentile of cheap gas countries..

Surfin' the web via Neocities and webrings and I stumbled upon Indonesian teenagers on the Fediverse.. to find them there makes me so happy. ☺️

Blood Command #punk / #hardcore from Bergen, Norway! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1kbL7Yq5SQ #BloodCommand#Hardcore#Hardcore #Video

Was biking 🚴‍♀️ with my daughter and we saw a woman walking a samoyed dog and she said "she has a polar bear". 😂

I'm so bad with recognizing emotions, that sometimes when I read comments I'm like "oh.. that's what I'm feeling! Thanks internet stranger!"

I released an **early** development build of my #SpaceGame project in order to get some feedback. I posted this as a Reddit topic or you can head straight to the Alpha Test page in the game. #SpaceGame #GameDesign #PBBG

The top of trees talk about autumn..

Autumn 🍂

Happy Defaidodon Day (Nov 7th), here's some sheep to celebrate! In case this is your first time celebrating — as it is for me — Jaz has written a good post about it. If you want more 🐑 check out #Sheep on my site. Sheep looking at me through a fence Sheep […] [Original post on gerben.dev]

Hi #IndieWeb friends, I have a question if you use #RSS feeds for reading/exploration. What's your thoughts on feeds that have the entire post in the feed versus having a truncated version?

Arcade Sunrise by Vincent Projects #Indie #PopPunk -- on a small channel with a hanful of views; a truly undiscovered gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn8sHb6uM8w #Indie #PopPunk #VincentProjects

I kinda missed the #Silverstein return in 2020.. In my mind nothing existed since 2013.. I'm listening now to their 2025 album Antibloom/Pink Moon and there's so many good songs.. it's like they never left. Check out Confession, Skin & Bones, Negative Space. #Silverstein #PostHardcore

The great thing about piq squeals is that you can hide your most emotional lyrics in them 🥀

**Crooks UK** is _(was?)_ an #emo/#posthardcore band from the UK. I really like their album **Are We All The Same Distance Apart** , and I was just listening to **From Sticks To Bitterness** , I love how it starts off straight away, without some kind of intro […] [Original post on gerben.dev]

Apparently I'm on one of the top listeners for the band **Spectral Fires**. I guess they haven't released much, but the one that caught my attention is called "Left Behind". #SpectralFires #MelodicHardcore

I had a thought about a blog yesterday.. and now I forgot.. Might need to start journalling just for this 🤔

gimmick. - Can't Forgive A Fool (Official Video) #gimmick. #Hardcore #Video

Let me start off with I like Smosh and their content; but I really dislike their Reddit Stories section. Apparently a lot of people like it, but to me the idea is so cheap, just reading someone else's work.. doesn't help that I think at least 50% of Reddit stories are made up to begin with […]

I'm thinking about creating a Hugo theme with Microformats and Webmentions, ready for people to make their own IndieWeb site. But I was investigating how the install process would be for Windows users .. and it's a lot. Short list candidates are 11ty and Hugo, 11ty straight up says you need to […]

You know what I miss.. the 2015-2016 craze of adding tilt-shift to all photos.. #TiltShift

Halloween pizza night! #Halloween #Pizza

Listening to Bloom's new album **The Light We Chase** that was released today on Halloween. Melodic hardcore from Australia, you know it's gonna be good! #Bloom #MelodicHardcore

About to fail the #Dutch tradition of "postponing turning on the heater for as long as possible".. 😶‍🌫️

"Hell On Earth" is one of those YouTube channels, where when you find them the first time, you're spending a lot of days (weeks?) to watch back older videos. Helps that they have a giant backlog. It's a channel with 3 lads who do 'weird camping' (actual name of their show), 'urbex' (they hate […]

Okay.. this is the type of nerdiness I like; @[email protected] posts ACARS messages, but only when they appear to be entered by pilots. #TIL from their website; ACARS is 70s protocol for aircraft to ground (and vice versa) messaging. Mostly it's just automated messaging by […]

I've been listening the latest album by Adept, post-hardcore from Sweden. #Adept #PostHardcore #Music

Apologies to avid RSS fans for having it take so long, but my Posts are now available as a feed: https://gerben.dev/feed.xml My notes, reposts, replies and likes are still available at: https://gerben.dev/timeline.xml I guess that leaves just my photos. I guess that's next 😉

i guess i'm doing cyberdecks now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read about me messing around with computer parts and linux in my new blog post: ellesho.me/page/website...

Found this really nice introduction to Making A Website, a good read for any of my non-tech followers. https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/you-can-make-a-website

$density = [[10, 80], [20, 90], [30, 100]]; $size = [[50, 150], [100, 200], [150, 200]]; These arrays of tuples (pairs) represent the density and size of asteroids in a game I'm developing. Where each set is represented by a level i.e. level 1 density has the range `10` to `80` […]

I'm not a perfectionist whatsoever, but I'm always debating whether I should post a note, blog or photo.. Maybe it's imposter syndrome. .. and it's stupid, because I just saw someone post a 3x zoomed photo from a phone and the quality is .. bad.. 🫣 but the human-ness of it makes it so great. 🥰 […]

Rhinebarge in bad weather. #Ochten #Netherlands #boats

So I tagged a photo with #gnome .. and the percentage of 'mythical figure gnome' vs 'linux desktop gnome' is 5%. 😂
