We don’t have to reinvent everything from scratch but can build on so much that already exists. I use ActivityPub as both the broadcasting mechanism and the mechanism to obtain comments for my personal site. It also allows people to follow my account on my blog from the Fediverse (M…

Could you explain a bit more about how you implemented it? Can you share your website to see how it actually looks like? I've read a lot recently about the Activity Pub protocol and I've been following Mastodon / Pleroma for a while but never really made the jump

Sure, see:

It's pretty bare bones and has had significant downtime due to Mastodon spamming "account Deleted" activities, which would crash my little server. I hope I have now fixed it.

Following on from this excellent article, would other HN users care to share the URLs of their personal webspaces? Mine is: http://www.jaruzel.com (yes, I know it's not SSL'd!)

I recently started with a personal website [1]. I wanted to dive into static site generators and used Zola[2] in the end. At this time I only published a few blog articles, but at least I started somewhere.

As my personal knowledge base I love to use Joplin[3]. I wanted to write my blog post with Joplin, too! I wrote a small script to generate the blog articles from Joplin notes and wrote about this in my first blog post [4].

I also plan to have some kind of linkage site. The biggest problem is to revised my large bookmark collection and pick out the best ones. I probably should just begin with new cool stuff I stumble upon. Secondly, I would like to have some kind of feedback system (comments, activitypub, ...) but without any (or at least too much) server side code and without using some external provider.

Btw, the site is also available fully decentralized via dat. Yeahh.

Sure, https://smokingonabike.com/ I blog a couple times a year about my personal projects, mostly woodworking and lately grapevines.

It's mostly at the intersection of technology and philosophy. There's an RSS feed.

If you don't like either

or

https://blog.randomstring.org/2015/11/23/a-musical-analogy/

then you probably won't like the rest, either.

https://paplauskas.lt/ no js, no static site generator, all html and css written by hand. Blogging like this is so refreshing after coming home from a mile-high stack of dependencies at work :). The only part I haven't solved yet is having comments under posts in the same lean way.

I use WordPress, which obviously has support for comments, and I've actually been thinking of turning them off. I get tens of thousands of spam comments every month (Akismet nukes 99.9999% of them) and the real comments I do get don't add a whole lot. I'm not sure they're worth the trouble. Perhaps just prominently feature your email address?

My personal website is my therapy. It's an art project. It's an attempt to think much differently about what a personal website should be:

That's exactly what I'm doing right now :). Email address is not exactly as encouraging to reach out as a simple comment box, but I've had a hunch that the small possible upside is just not worth the hassle, and your experience seems to confirm that. Thanks!
