/me just deployed gotosocial on k3s. what it makes special because the server only has 1 gb ram, 1 cpu, 10 gb ssd, and 1.5 gb swap.

I installed a smolfedi instance (thanks to the pointer by @roblen), a super reduced web 2.0 interface for the Fediverse/Mastodon by @adele.

I hope to make it a little more e-reader friendly through CSS, because that's something that most Mastodon clients are not supporting well.

GoToSocial has been really impressive so far, the community is kind, and I'm really happy with my first few days here.

I've become a donor, and if you have the resources and want to see the ecosystem diversify beyond "just Mastodon", I encourage you to do the same.

When I wrote HTML for People, I envisioned non-tech people learning it because knowing HTML is a generally useful skill in information work.

But AI kinda ruins that. Fewer non-tech people want to learn HTML.

But it seems to have found a niche audience among people who still want to learn HTML despite having access to AI. That makes me feel better about it.

I’m glad I wrote it when I did because I’m not sure I could have stayed motivated to write it in 2026 with the proliferation of AI options—whether for writing HTML or for learning it.

Added support in the "Fix page" script for GitHub issues to read the comments directly from Dillo. They are buried in the HTML itself as JSON.

Please migrate away from GitHub if you can, this is awful. One option is Codeberg, which renders the issue pages in plain HTML.

Another cool #smolweb project !

And let me know if anything isn’t working quite right.

This is what being rich means to me.

A character encoding defines how text is stored as bytes. If you’ve seen “café” instead of “café,” that’s an encoding mismatch. This intro covers how encoding works, how #Unicode and UTF-8 relate, and why mistakes break apps and websites. It also matters beyond #developers, affecting readability, search, data exchange, #accessibility and whether people see text correctly online.

Introducing the Dillo Lab, a new section in our website for experimental ideas and features.

https://dillo-browser.org/lab/

The world will be a better place if the intelligent people on Twitter
leave that s*** hole, set up a website where they can micro blog to their hearts content and I can follow them by RSS in peace. Now I'm forced to wade through s***, AI slop, deluded lies and read deluded, crazy, racist comments. Most of whom are probably feom teenagers in basements who can't find Iran on a map, or who are bots.
