Rebuilding the indieweb one tendril at a time.

This is what we need to do. Rebuild the internet, reclaim the word social in social media and put people before platforms.

We must uncouple our attention from the tech-bro, elitist, narrative-controlling monopolies¹ and get back to building individual, independant website presences. The indieweb.

Sites that are shared and aggregated by RSS feeds, collected into like-minded groups by webrings, boosted with decentralised social media platforms such as Mastodon, and cross-pollinated with interlinks and cross site conversations from individual posts.

Subvert, bypass, and starve the big platforms of their attention oxygen. Let them suffocate in a circle-jerk of AI generated slop.

There is now a growing movement of people dumping the scroll-gatekeepers, and building their own cheap, simple (often retro looking) independant websites.

Here is an example: Daryl Sun has a simple site that is packed with information and interesting links for anyone spending a little time to click rather than scroll (just like here).

In the spirit of re-wilding the web and creating interesting tendrils, I have updated my own ABOUT PAGE to let you know far more about me than you ever knew you wanted to know. It is a work in progress and will grow over time.

Another great example is Brennan, who writes some really interesting stuff and has recently begun moving his focus from posting on Medium to growing his independent site.

He always has tons of interesting outgoing links, is a member of a heap of webrings, as well as including a slash page of all his interests and projects.

I am gaining a lot of inspiration from this movement and urge you to consider dropping out of the shittosphere of big social media and spending that newfound scroll time creating your own independent online presence.

Let us tear the whole thing down and rebuild it fit for purpose.

If you already have a indie website drop me a link in the comments….I would love to follow and share.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Eastman Kodak Company has just announced that it will be distributing Tri-X and Ektar!

That's great news for folks who know about Alaris and its diminishing role as a 3rd party distributor, but does that really mean cheaper film?

My findings suggest no. This is not making film cheaper right now. It's making it more expensive.

Brrr... new introduction time cause my old one is already outdated lol.

I am Sinclair-Speccy, your local resident computer nerd that can’t actually do a lot of tech stuff like people think. My primary interests are #Linux, #OldTech, and #OStan. You’ll usually find me boosting retro tech content and occasionally posting it myself, mostly retro tech ads.

My interest in emulation all started when I managed to run Yggdrasil Linux from the '90s (I know, so interesting /s). Despite having used XP as my first OS other older OSes (mostly Linux ones) interest me more if you look at the media I've posted on my account besides the tech ads.

I’ve moved around a bit online as I started on .art as my friend was there, then bitbang.social and now oldbytes.space.

One of my favourite niche fandoms is OS-tans which is turning operating systems and hardware into anime characters, though I tend to call them tech gijinkas. I even have my own tech gijinkas universe that is hosted on my site.

As for some other stuff I enjoy #mythology, #transformers, #cats, #fantasy, #nature such as #flowers and #plants and #animals, #steampunk, #starwars, #photography, #art, #space, #cyberpunk and #scifi... there is more but I'm not writing them all.

You can check out my website here: sinclair-speccy.github.io/The-… and I hope to expand it into a tech journalism platform or something, though motivation and its static nature kind of stop me...

Unlike in the past I'm not active as I used to be, sadly.

All shot using real figures, lighting, smoke and miniature sets. I digitally illustrated the lights on the gun for added effect.

I’m not entirely sure why that never occurred to me but it is relatively easy to take pictures of the moon…

Now that I know that I should probably try harder with actual foreground composition and stuff.

Inclusiveness

September 2025: There are lots of rainbow arches and pavements around Iceland, but this has to be my favourite.

The LGBTQ+ pride colours changing to transgender pride and back again at the far end is a clever idea.

The location of many happy marriages, I'm sure, this pavement can be found at Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of #Iceland.

Guess an #introduction is in order. Not sure I ever did one for my first instance, whoops.

Hi, my name is James an I've moved from an instance that is closing down soon.

I'm absolutely queer but working a boring office job in Germany, trying to remind ppl at work that personal data needs protection and that genAI came fresh out of pandora's box and does not belong in their daily job.

In my free time I #write fic, #draw digital art and #read a lot of books, mostly #scifi. I play a handful of computer games like #GW2. I watch a lot of tv shows and love Star Trek and Doctor Who.

I love #space, #nature, #cats and #photography (although my photos are just taken with my phone). I post them mostly on my Pixelfed account.

Guess that's it for now. I probably forgot a lot of stuff that people write into introductions, but feel free to ask x)

Cafe Zoetrope, San Francisco

"Many other musicians and musical groups were allowed to utilize this studio, including the Grateful Dead."

"Francis Ford Coppola bought the building in 1972 to be the headquarters for his production company, American Zoetrope. A number of his films including the Godfather II and III, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, One From The Heart, The Outsiders, and Dracula were written, edited, or sound mixed within these walls."

Ethical photography means that I respect wildlife and apply these principles:

- I do not bait, call, feed, trap, manipulate or harass wildlife.
- I avoid disturbing their routine.
- I don't destroy their environment to ''get a better photo''.
- I keep a respectful and safe distance.
- I don't overstay.
- I arrive quietly and leave quietly.
- If I feel that an animal is stressed by my presence, I leave immediately.
- I study the animal at home to understand their behaviour & life.

Your daily bear photo, courtesy of yours truly.

Context for new followers: I took this photo in September during the salmon run on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This bear was keeping an eye on salmon going up a stream, hoping to catch a few of them. As you can judge from its body shape, it is very successful. 😁

Note that I do not approach bears, I use a telephoto lens. I practice ethical photography.

A year of sunrises - 13 pictures of the sun, each month, same place, same time.

"One of the best places in Edmonton to see the sunrise point change along a familiar horizon is Valleyview Drive, which is where I photographed sunrise once a month for a year. This image is the final result of stacking 13 sunrise images from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, to visually depict the change in the sunrise point over a year." - Photographer, Luca Vanzella.

“(Hoch)Stapelei” / (High) stacking

Stacks of boomboxes, radios, cameras, and other vintage tech at an electronics shop on Canal Street. I’m not a tech-head, but I still felt a huge rush of nostalgia walking in to get my stereo fixed. A younger customer wondered what the rectangular slot under a TV screen was for, and asked “What’s VHS?” The proprietor and I looked at each other and laughed, and felt old together.

Golden aspens blanket the trail at Fish Lake, Utah, in a beautiful autumn display. More than beautiful—it's part of Pando, the largest living organism on Earth. Over 100 acres, sharing one vast root system, a living wonder of nature. Walking here feels like stepping through living history, every leaf connected to a single ancient being.
