Scarfolk and reality have merged. I cannot tell which is which any more

On a rather different note, here's the Coyote of La Mancha.

Hello fellow citizens of the free and open web, it is me, Ben Brown. You may remember me from that social network from back when social networks were cool, or maybe from that one open source project that blew up.

Hi, it is great to see you again.

First off, corporate owned social media always sucked, we always knew it. It is past time for us to have better options.I am so glad for the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub and Mastodon and other projects for breathing new life into the indie web, where it is possible for us to own what we post and use whatever tools we want. I couldn’t resist building something!

My new project is called SHUTTLECRAFT. It social media server … FOR ONE.

What does that mean?

It is very small and lightweight open source app that runs nicely on services like Glitch, but it has most of what you need to host your own personal social media account.

It’s got a microblogging tool, to make posts. You can customize the design with HTML and CSS. You can follow people on Mastodon or other services and interact with posts and send messages. People can follow you on Mastodon, or with RSS. You run it on your own server so you own and operate the data and the code and the whole service. And you can hack the code and make it weirder so that we can all be part of a better, more diverse and more interesting web.

No billionaires or mega-corps required!

I made a 3 minute video showing how it works:

Though this a personal project and only a few weeks old, with tons of stuff still unfinished and yet to build... you can get the code right now and run your own right now! The official site also has a 3 minute walk through of setting up an instance on Glitch. It is pretty easy!

Or go straight to for the code:

Thanks to everyone who has already tested this or sent feedback or contributed code. Y'all rule.

Own your posts!! Make it hard for them to monetize you!

I don’t normally bother myself with reading about and getting outraged with That Guy Ruining The Place We Don’t Speak Of, but saw him referred to as “Paypalpatine” recently and that made me laugh.

This game could've been SO much more chaotic/bold/gory https://www.cocainebear.movie/game/

Everyone over 50 watching any viral "cooking hack"

*confused face* that's just... how you do the thing?

when you're cute af but you still demand respect

welcome to all new arrivals escaping the bird site
Some important points to remember
1. Choose your instance wisely, its your mandatory polycule. You should have an email with your rota and Google calender, please check your spam folder, no one wants a repeat of the alt 46 incident
2. Hosting duties for John Mastodon can be transferred but please please please fill in your exemption form

Decisions, decisions

Before you are two doors, guarded by two search engines, both of which are convinced they are telling you the truth. You may ask them one question

That cleverclogs @eligrey has a font which encrypts text.

https://eligrey.com/blog/rot13-dejavu-fonts/

Yeah, OK, it is only ROT13. And any substitution cipher can probably be broken using frequency analysis.

It's possible to use font ligatures to obfuscate the text even more. See Bullshit Sans as an example - https://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/

So, there you have it. A way to *sort of* encrypt a statically served HTML file without using Javascript.

HAPPY SUNDAY!
