(Sorry SQL fans who wanted to write their own queries or whatever. Wasn’t paying attention. Not sorry.)
I’m listening to everything people suggest for this.
There’s a built in private bug tracker so if there’s anything you don’t like or want to see improved you can just let me know.
Oh and if you have a Libre.fm account you’re already signed up if you want to use it.
(A waitlist will be provided for anyone who missed the initial 14 or so years of open registration)
After 16 years, it's time to do something else. Libre.fm is no longer accepting new users for scrobbling music listening habits.
(We will continue to support our existing users as long as there are active users.)
What's next?
Project Next. The second act.
No AI. Ever. Coming soon.
Blogs besser untereinander vernetzen - auch mit dem Fediverse:
Hello! It's a Scrolls back-to-back day! Volume eighteen has just been published (as I promised yesterday). It features the best of my #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity / #infosec discoveries from LAST week 
. Consider this the final "catch-up" issue, with a regularly scheduled issue set to come out in another 2 days (Friday) 
.

Il y a quelques mois, j'ai demandé à des designer·euses web dont j'admire le travail ( @julienbidoret, @timotheegoguely, @marieverdeil, @estherbouquet, Clara Pasteau, Benjamin G., Anne Faubry, Studio F451, @tegabrain ) ce qu'elles et ils pensent des formes du Web frugal. Nos conversations sont maintenant en ligne dans le dernier Graphisme en France.
IndieWeb – Webmentions
Alle bloggen derzeit darüber, dass sie Webmentions integriert haben. Das ist drüben bei Tommi so, aber auch bei zahlreichen weiteren Blogger*innen wie Herr Montag. Bei mir kam Webmentions auch vor einiger Zeit klammheimlich ins Blog, ohne es groß anzukündigen. Aber vermutlich haben die anderen Recht und man muss darüber sprechen, denn es ist eine gute Sache!

Trying out a new site layout. Only a minor change to make better use of screen space.
Mobile users probably won't notice a change.
If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

My superpower is my ability to create a well written, pointed comment that is a little flippant and slightly sarcastic; then, simply deleting it without ever hitting "post."

Hey everyone, Scrolls is back! Volume seventeen has just dropped. Where have I been? Why is it coming out in the middle of the week? Well go on and read and I try to explain 
.
https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-06-24
As usual, it features some cool stuff from across the #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity worlds. I hope you enjoy!
I should also add, that there is ANOTHER special edition, catch-up issue that will likely come out this week ahead of the regularly scheduled Friday issue. Stay tuned.
Special shoutout to everyone below who's content was featured in this special mid-week, catch-up edition!

I found too much overlap in the /contact, /subscribe, and /social slashpages, so I've consolidated. Presenting, /connect!
RSS is old tech — but it still rules
Here's an old article on why we still use RSS for articles & podcasts on VEX.blue. It’s not just nostalgia, it’s open distribution. No algorithms, just updates.

#RSS #IndieWeb #OpenWeb #Fediverse #Podcasting #VEXblue
Finally got around to adding a #LinkBlog page with tags on my website: https://abhinavsarkar.net/linkblog. It comes with a central #feed, and tag-wise feeds as well.
Have you published an RSS or Atom feed?
Did you know it's possible to style it?
Yup! You can make that crusty old XML viewable in the browser.

Just added a new article to the VEX.blue BETA site: No Code' Is Bad
I’ve used no-code tools before, but building VEX.blue from scratch showed me the value of actually learning the basics.
From monthly fees to platform lock-in, this post is about why No Code works for some, but not for everyone.

Just added my article “Decentralised Social Media” to the VEX.blue BETA site - Now with Fediverse comments!
It’s a full write-up on Mastodon, Threads, and why decentralisation matters.

Sleep Like a Computer
I recently went on vacation and, for the first time in years, I applied the concept of sleep to virtually every aspect of my digital life.
