Hello! It's a Scrolls back-to-back day! Volume eighteen has just been published (as I promised yesterday). It features the best of my #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity / #infosec discoveries from LAST week 😁. Consider this the final "catch-up" issue, with a regularly scheduled issue set […]

Hey everyone, Scrolls is back! Volume seventeen has just dropped. Where have I been? Why is it coming out in the middle of the week? Well go on and read and I try to explain 😄. https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-06-24 As usual, it features some cool stuff from across the #IndieWeb […]

I'm sorry, but this pontificating about the importance of decentralization on Medium, a notably NOT-decentralized platform, is something I find astoundingly frustrating https://medium.com/@alexsoto.digital/the-power-of-decentralization-and-the-decentralization-of-power-d3bf32c9c05e Requires me […]

Bet: If the pope joins the Fediverse on a self-hosted instance I'll become religious. A true act of god that would be.

Got a li'l art commission request. I'm interested in some banner art for my "Scrolls" newsletter (https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/). Thus far, I've been using the Phosphor scroll icon as a stand-in but would love to have something a little more personalized. As fan of #pixelart I would love to […]

Checking in on #FreeOurFeeds... Ouch - only 93k raised since January with a 4 _million_ dollar goal 😬 Guess we're not having our feeds freed any time soon 🙄

I've just published the "guiding principles" of my website. https://shellsharks.com/why - This post was inspired by James' Coffee Blog (https://jamesg.blog/2025/03/05/philosophy-of-james-coffee-blog) and Tracy Durnell (https://tracydurnell.com/2025/01/21/guiding-principles-for-my-website/) - […]

It's out! Not as early as I had wanted (thanks cross-country travel), but _volume five_ of the "Scrolls" newsletter should now be available. https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-02-28 #indieweb #cybersecurity #infosec #fediverse The usual shoutouts to everyone who contributed to this […]

Do you even blog, bro?

Here's a question for fellow website-havers / #IndieWeb folks. What's something you would like to do with your site that you haven't done, not because you haven't had the time, but because you're just not sure how to do it? I've always wanted to add a mini changelog section to each of my posts […]

The fourth edition of the "Scrolls" newsletter is live! https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-02-21 Enjoy all the usual weekly #IndieWeb, #Fediverse & #Cybersecurity goodness! Also a reminder that you can subscribe directly to the newsletter via #RSS using this link […]

In the past, I've been a bit self-concious about how/what I posted on my site. I believe there's some part of my readership that comes to my site specifically for #infosec-related stuff. So anything NON-infosec that I post is something that they may see on my site, or in their RSS reader and […]

The third edition of the "Scrolls" newsletter is live! https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-02-14 For those new to Scrolls, it's a _free_ weekly newsletter all about the #IndieWeb and the #Fediverse (with some #infosec / #cybersecurity stuff thrown in there for fun). You can subscribe […]

I've been playing with a new home page design for my site. See it here https://shellsharks.com/home. My classic/current home page can still be found here of course https://shellsharks.com. I'm still tinkering around with it but wanted to see what (if any) thoughts people had. There's definitely […]

I've done a bit of a 180 on #Tapestry (and Unified Timeline apps in general). Just a few days ago I said they "weren't for me", and for all the reasons I said in that article I still agree. But I hadn't considered using it for aggregating and scrolling-through all the other things I _sometimes_ […]

It's friday! #followfriday! Here's some cool #infosec / #cybersecurity accounts to check out... * @joern * @Gi7w0rm * @ntdll * @genkin * @daemon_nova (new instance!) For the lulz you might also want to follow @domi 😆 If you're jumped on the #Pixelfed train and want to follow me […]

Surprise! I'm changing things up a bit. I had originally planned to publish my #Indieweb / #Fediverse / #cybersecurity newsletter, "Scrolls", on Sundays but have decided that Friday works better for me _actually_ getting it out on time. So, since it's Friday, here ya go! […]

Very interesting... In April of 2024 I debuted my "Activity" feed https://shellsharks.com/activity/, which serves as a cool unified timeline of all the different things goin' on on my site (e.g. changes, posts, notes, podcasts, social media stuff, etc...) I tooted excitedly about it then […]

This one's for my #indieweb power-nerds and fellow #slashpage enthusiasts. Today I debut my "/Story" - the story of my website, told through my /slash pages. (Incredibly meta right?!). As one would hope, it can be reached at /story on my site (though it redirects to a section on my /slashes […]

I've come to a conclusion, universal timeline apps (like Tapestry and the new Reeder app) are just not for me https://shellsharks.com/unified-timelines-are-not-for-me I think they're beautifully designed, and I'm sure for a lot of people they are perfect, but for me and the way I ingest and […]

Fediverse friends, I'm looking to collect tips, advice and resources related to the following... * Trusted news sources * Social media not controlled / influenced by corporations, billionaires or governments * Guides on self-hosting * Private & secure communication tools/apps * […]

If you find something on the web you like, bookmark or otherwise save that link straight away, preferably with some sort of commentary/tags/context so you can search for it when the time comes for you to access it again. Seeing how search engines are rapidly becoming useless, it's no longer a […]

_OK_. At the risk of giving "Mishing" more screen time than it deserves, please read my impassioned plea for us, the infosec community, to stop coming up with new phishing name variants. https://shellsharks.com/no-more-ishings I also urge everyone to sign this VERY REAL, and not at all […]

Here's my writeup for the #indieweb "Music Questions Challenge". https://shellsharks.com/music-questions-challenge I'm diggin' these "viral" blogging challenges. Get in on the fun! Specifically though, I'm tagging @daemon_nova & @threebees to write somethin' up! Cheers!

Heyo Fedi folks! Today I'm announcing the launch of my "newsletter"-ish thing I've dubbed "Scrolls". Scrolls is a weekly #newsletter / link roundup / information digest at the intersection of the #IndieWeb and the #Fediverse, with a splash of #Cybersecurity stuff thrown in there just for fun […]
