this month i became a member of a coop and now co-own a 2-rack server with the other members! i'm looking forward to learning more about the open source services on the server and also maybe having a say in what other services we should add! i'd like to host my blog there, since it is the part of my site that grows in size, but keep my main page where it is- and also bc i just found out that my main page is featured in a book!
The picture of Bille (my canine friend) at the bottom of the page has now been "dithered", a process that even further reduces the size of the image - by over 70%! Putting the size at under 20kB. And cropped, which makes it only 4kB. Also looked into how I want to blog. I want to follow indie web principles "DRY" and "own your data", as well as have an eco-concious hosting, a layout that allows easy nav, no set content style or direction, small posts/journalling, and a self-hosted newsletter manager for sending newsletters.
Edit: the below links are dead now, they were online for an reading group event at Demokratihuset. I have taken the pdf down, bc I don't think they will be accessed. I still think this book (Technologies of speculation) is a great read and can recommend borrowing it at ETHOS LAB at IT University of Copenhagen. and here is the link to the collectively (CURSOR) made curriculum for the event: https://www.notion.so/cursormag/Apr-2nd-Surveillance-capitalism-1978c8a06a008029818dce64fcf1e33e?pvs=4
Introhanna changed the image of Bille, so that it loads lazily and is compressed. he already looked very lazy and compressed, but now the picture is too.
the title is the word portmanteau with the last bit switched to the word "tog" , which means train in danish and is phonectically identical to "teau".
This makes it a pun i suppose and also maybe a riddle? what kind of train connects words?
