How my independent website, Cybercultural, has fared during 2025 — a year when AI summaries whittled away search referral traffic and social media continued its war against hyperlinks.

마스토돈은 제겐 너무 어렵고 진입장벽이 너무 높더라고요. 엄두가 안 난다는 표현이 마스토돈에 대한 제 감정에 가장 가깝겠어요. 탈중앙화는 겁나게 많은 중앙일 뿐이라는 걸 체감했어요. 사용하던 인스턴스가 통째로 사라진 일도 있었고요. 언젠가 현생에 여유가 생기면 다시 시작할지도 모를 일이겠지만 적어도 주력은 블루스카이에 두려고요.

I don't know if people are aware of this Firefox addon that brings discoverability for personal websites that have identity confirmation links to Mastodon profiles: StreetPass for Mastodon.
It's pretty good, it allowed me to find quite a number of people based on incidentally reading their blogs.

'Twas the night before #Christmas… DOS-style 🎄💾
In 1987, PC Life Magazine gifted us with ’Twas the Night Before Christmas: Animated Musical Christmas Disk — a charmingly low-res, CGA 4-color holiday e-card.
Animated poem, printable cards, a Letter to Santa app, and even a tile game 🎅🧩

Hey 
@b0rkJulia Evans do you have anything for "what is an IP address? And other networking fundamentals"
This is a CDE on Mageia 9. It took me several hours and consultations with friendly people on Mageia forums to make it work.
CDE is very archaic so I had to rebuild the whole Motif library reverting some recent patches before compiling CDE itself. My tiny HP Stream 14 laptop with Intel N3060 CPU had a hard time building this monstrosity.
Now the hardest part comes: figuring out why I did this and what do I actually do with it.

Versuch der GLS-Bank die Kontokündigungen der Roten Hilfe zu rechtfertigen
Die Bank behauptet in einem längeren Statement sinngemäß, der Aufwand für die Überwachung der Konten sei zu aufwändig geworden, das Risiko für "erhebliche Bußgelder und weitere Sanktionen" der Bank zu groß.
Dann wirds krass:
Banken "sind dazu verpflichtet, Kontobewegungen zu prüfen, um Geldwäsche und Terrorismusfinanzierung zu verhindern. Das gehört zum Tagesgeschäft". Inhaltlich trifft das zu, aber sie rücken damit die Rote Hilfe, abc Dresden und die DKP in den Bereich Terrorismus und Geldwäsche. Und das ist eine durch und durch politische Entscheidubg der Bank!
Ein Kotau des GLS-Vorstands vor Trump, AfD und Verfassungsschutz!

The intersection of puritanism & #capitalism creates an incredibly insidious, toxic form of #ableism.
Push through the pain. Work through your illness. Keep going through your burnout.
Puritanism tells you that this is virtuous, and makes you a good person. Capitalism requires overwork for your survival.
Pair this with a pandemic, and you've got a nasty escalation of eugenics.

Everything is like this now. On every subject, the only acceptable opinion is that things are the worst they’ve ever been, and there’s no room for anyone to acknowledge anything good without to-be-sure caveats about other things that are bad

fixed rscexplorer.dev so that it doesn't wait for the whole stream to resolve before enabling stream step through kind of a basic thing to have missed, anyway it's fixed now
I wish we had better historical records, I'd love to know who came up with the calendar we use. Was it Greg or Rian?
PSA: posts you see on your feed, especially from people you DON'T KNOW, are not tailored for your eyes only and don't have to be perfect for you! If someone is soliciting random opinions (i.e. survey, etc.) they will explicitly state this!
Some people (not just OnHere, but ABSOLUTELY OnHere) think everyone on their feed is shouting into their door specifically. No!! Your feed is YOU walking around looking into OTHER people's lives and the shitty way you treat them is YOUR responsibility!
