🆕 blog! “Can you meaningfully measure how environmentally friendly a website is?”

Think global; act local. That's the mantra, right? I can't stop coal plants belching out suffocating pollutants, but can I ensure my website is as environmentally friendly as possible?

There are several services which claim…

Every once in a while, I read my old blog posts that link to other articles or blogs. 99% of those sites are now offline or show a domain-for-sale page. It kind of makes me sad. Most of my own websites are still online after 20+ years. I wonder why they gave up.

That being said, this instance will be online forever - I'll make sure of it. Even after my passing, I want it to live on. My websites have survived even when hosting companies went bankrupt, and so will this instance.

I'm looking to migrate our website domains to services not owned by google/squarespace, and our web host to something cheaper than bluehost.

It's just a simple wordpress website for a card game, Penguinslap.com. We don't really get any traffic at all. Very occasionally we make a sale, and those links redirect to a PayPal site.

Any suggestions?

Dear #websites that produce #statements (#banks, #insurance, #investment companies, looking at you):

When people need to download statements, usually they need to download more than one. The following are #bullshit:

1. each statement opens in a new window/tab (let me decide that pls)
2. each statement _re-uses_ the SAME window/tab (you suck x10)
3. each statement (in its own window) is called `statement.pdf` y no 6801?
4. no "Download all" or "all on this page" option.
5. PDF only :(

Silly question

the TLD .games - is that "all about games" or primarily game devs/projects.

I am a gamer/twitch streamer/game reviewer/steam curator (I love games) and looking to create my own pocket of the universe (web domain).

the 2 TLD domains for gaming are .game and .games so thinking (name).games since I am not surrounding a single game like a dev or studio might

if not I will go .ca or something :)

As this article illustrates, you can't tell where a QR code will lead when you read it with your phone. It's important to have a QR code reader that lets you look at the actual website URL before you decide to visit, not one that takes you there automatically.

Peninsula News Review · Flyers with QR code raise eyebrows in LadysmithBy Morgan Brayton

Received an email by the #NANOG mailing list in which they raise a pretty concerning thing: Apparently, #Spain started to intercept or nullroute certain IP addresses of #CDN providers. The intent is to fight #piracy during #football matches.

Do the people who pass the list of IP addresses even understand the significance of blocking a bunch of #CDN networks of various providers? Seriously?! It #censors access to tens of thousands of legitimate #websites which is blatantly accepted as a #collateral to help out some shady sports association in their #copyright?

How much shadier can a decision be? Since this is a thing, maybe they can think about taking down entire regions in Spain the next football match?

The amount of collateral damage in the name of copyright is ridiculous. The #EuropeanUnion really has to step-up their game in addressing those concerning developments. I read about multiple such blatant decisions so far. Eyeing at you, #Quad9 and #Sony...

"In an age of information overload & an increasingly commercialized web, #artists of all types are the people to help. Artists can think expansively about what a #website can be. Each #artist should create their own space on the web, for a website is an individual act of collective ambition." — Laurel Schwulst

So I've been using my laptop with the wrong date for a while and #certificate errors meant I could only see #websites when the stars aligned.

This was the most productive I've been for a while.

So I decided to make this a #browser extension:

No more mindless scrolling! No more constant Wikipedia binges! Just occasional ones. It's fine to have fun once in a while.

Hey #fedihire universe 👋🏽, like to work with a freelancer passionate about:

Without #communication there can be no #resistance.

Communication is what allows isolated #dissidents to join up, understand their situation, and #plan for #action It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a #movement, rooted in larger #society.

#Resisters need to #communicate to #strategize, #analyze, #mobilize, and #act, especially under #repressive #surveillance states. Good communication is a prequisite to successful #recruiting, #fundraising, and movement-building in general.

And conversely, it is the #corporatemedia and other official channels of communication that allow the government to #control the popular #narrative and imagination, to #smear or #deceive resisters, to divide dissidents against each other, even to obscure or #erase struggles for #justice from collective memory. So it's no surprise-with so much at stake that effective resisters fight to reach out and communicate.

Rarely is that as dramatic as the takeover of a TV station in the middle of a parliamentary broadcast. Communication through less fantastic methods (giving #interviews, making #websites, and sharing #pamphlets) is no less important. Effective communication doesn't have to be a spectacle (and the drive to make it a spectacle can be a trap the mass media use to distort movements).

I’m not going to tell you here how to make a zine or write a press release; those practicalities are handled in more detail elsewhere. I'm going to address bigger questions that are discussed less often:

How do resistance movements communicate externally to reach #sympathizers and #supporters?

How do they deal with the power and contradictions of the mass media?

How do they communicate internally to build a shared culture and organize action?

And how do they maintain safe communication - especially in #underground groups-when dealing with repressive states and pervasive surveillance?
