I'm so tired these days... I do nothing (other than my job).
😫​

I've just watched "Blue is the warmest color" ("La vie d'Adèle" in French).

Beautiful! ♥️

Some scenes are really hot 🌶️ 🔞

My BF is discovering the Fediverse...

He compares it to the email system. Many servers and domains, all able to communicate each other.

😘 👏

Mon amie Élodie et son conjoint Raphaël ont ouvert leur blog pour partager leur expérience de vie de couple... j'aime bien les petits trucs qu'on y trouve. Ça a l'air prometteur ^^

Et en plus, ils ont un compte sur le Fediverse (une idée que je leur ai soufflée) : @ElodieRaphael

Upgrade to #gotosocial v0.18.2 done !

the work day was complicated...
hard to stay focus when something else loops in your brain

💘

Finally, my phone (oneplus 9 pro) takes better photos than my camera (Lumix bridge FZ300).
We live in a strange world 😐​

Offline version of a smolweb site

So easy to make an offline version of a blog when it respects #smolweb recommendations.

I've built a #zim file of my web site with two command lines. wget and zimwriterfs (provided with zim-tools package) are easy to use. And it can be viewed by all zim readers such as the very good @kiwix software.

Mirror the site with wget

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites 
--no-parent https://adele.pages.casa/

or for short

wget -mkEpnp https://adele.pages.casa/

Create the zim file with zimwriterfs

zimwriterfs --welcome=md/index.html --illustration=md/adele24.png --language=eng --title=Adële --name=Adële --description="Adële's smolwebsite" --longDescription="A blog about smolweb, lowtech anre more..." --creator="Adële" --publisher=ZimTools ./adele.pages.casa/ adele.zim

You can open the zim file with kiwix-desktop or serve it on a local web server with kiwix-server.

Result can be view on my personal kiwix instance

There are other tools to build a zim file

The flu is gone! 😷​
After two days of headaches and fever, I feel fine this morning. I think the vaccination helped a lot. 💉​

Meanwhile, in Australia...

Kiwix Server is awesome !

You can have many documentation, books and even Wikipedia... on a local server.

Kiwix software is available here : https://kiwix.org/

And a bunch of ZIM files (format used by kiwix) on https://library.kiwix.org/

You can test my personal instance running on a home smolserver (atom cpu) on https://zim.pollux.casa/

On #ArchLinux packages servers, the "community" repositories have been removed (merged into extra). You have to remove them from your /etc/pacman.conf

I see in the #gotosocial roadmap, a "user-selectable custom templates for rendering public posts" with
* Twitter-style
* Blogpost
* Gallery
* Etc.

Will it be possible to mark some posts as "blogpost" to filter which post will be present on the user front page ? 🤔​

Otherwise, a filter on a specific hashtag or category.
eg: https://social.pollux.casa/@adele?tag=blog

Gotosocial is a federated server software connected to the Fediverse. It offers a lightweight, user-friendly alternative to traditional social media platforms. With its clean frontend design and adherence to Smolweb principles, it's perfect for those who want a straightforward online experience. Its web interface is limited to displaying user publications, you will still need to use a third-party tool to publish content and interact with other Fediverse members: pinafore and Masto-FE are perfect for that.

Using Gotosocial for blogging

While Gotosocial is great for microblogging, it can also be an awesome blogging tool. Here’s how:

• Longer toots: by increasing the character limit for each toot, you can turn them into full blog posts. This lets you share detailed thoughts without the usual microblogging constraints.
• RSS Feeds: Gotosocial comes with built-in RSS feeds, so your followers can stay updated with your latest posts without relying on algorithms or annoying notifications.
• Markdown support: Gotosocial supports Markdown, making it easy to format your posts with headings, lists, links, and more. This helps you create well-structured, engaging content.
• ActivityPub protocol: thanks to the ActivityPub protocol, you can get comments and interactions from users across the Fediverse. This fosters a broader, more diverse conversation around your blog posts.
• Clean design: the simple and clean design of Gotosocial's frontend offers a distraction-free reading experience, enhancing readability and aligning with Smolweb's focus on speed and privacy.
• Decentralized and user-friendly: as part of the Fediverse, Gotosocial gives users control over their data and online presence, aligning with the community-focused principles of Smolweb, too.

So, why choose this tool for blogging?

• Simplicity: Gotosocial's minimalist design and user-friendly interface let you focus on creating and sharing content without the clutter of traditional blogging platforms.
• Sustainability: by following Smolweb guidelines, Gotosocial helps reduce the environmental impact of bloated, resource-intensive websites.
• Empowerment: the decentralized nature of the Fediverse gives users control over their data and online presence.

Let's start

Gotosocial offers a refreshing alternative to traditional blogging platforms, embodying simplicity, sustainability, and user empowerment. By using Gotosocial for blogging, you can contribute to a more minimalist and community-focused web experience.
