    I usually make once or twice a month hummus. Depending on the time that I have sometimes I treat myself and even start from scratch (I start from dried chickpeas).
    I do have a good blender, but it should also work in a food processor. But it doesn't have to be very smooth it can also be a bit chunky it still tastes excellent. If you like it very very smooth then I think a blender is almost essential.
    And I don't have a set recipe I just throw whatever spices or ingredients that I have in there.
    Usually my baseline recipe is this:

    Hummus

    • 1 can Chickpeas (either boiled or fresh from a can)
    • 60 g Tahini
    • 3 cloves of garlic (or less)
    • some Olive Oil
    • about 1 lemon or other form of acid
    • Salt
    • Water (to help blend the chickpeas) --> if you wanne be extra fancy you could use ice for smoother hummus

    Various Spices

    • Cumin (for me essential)
    • Garlic Powder (can also use fresh garlic or both)
    • Paprika Powder (hot or sweet I like it best when it's smoked)
    • Chili Powder / Flakes (can be pepper or even whole pieces) --> the one that I use is called Pul Biber
    • Lemon Zest (very tasty)

    You can also sub the water for the boil water if you boiled your own chickpeas or you could use the water in the can (aquafaba).

    You can make many variations to this recipe. This week I made a "lemon" hummus with lemon zest and lemon juice and it tastes amazing.
    You can also make it spicy with either a hot sauce or even throw in some whole peppers.
    You could also use a spicy oil depending on how spicy you like your food. (I am very weak).
    If you have a good blender you can also throw in nuts to make it a bit richer.

    Also I've been experimenting with other legumes. I tried white beans and it tasted amazing. I also want to try it with black beans for example.

    To serve, you can also put some olive oil on top and maybe some cumin and you can eat it with bread or flatbread or idk. You could even put it in a sandwich, make some sauce out of it and eat it with pasta or just spoon it straight up (that's what I usually do at 2am in front of the fridge).

    I started like 2 years ago with a template that was on this site: https://foollovers.com/

    And then I more and more changed the template / code to fit my needs and also found a lot of other sites where I like a certain thing and then usually I try to recreate things of what I like.

    So a lot of copying from other people aswell.
    I think the indie web also encourages copying and getting inspired by others.

    For example the sidebar is something that I found on github.
    The cat I found the original also on github and added myself a dropdown and also more variants of the cat.

    Also my whole code is hosted on Github so others can copy stuff and use it for them!

    I would be very much open to being neighbors since

    1. Your site is very cool and stylish
    2. You have a thinkpad

    So I would very much be open to exchanging buttons (^_^)

    Hi and welcome to this post

    I was just wondering if anyone else (besides me) is currently interested in the indie web and also in extension 88x31 Buttons.

    I have a small (and very much in-progress) website that I mostly coded myself. I started sometimes 2 years ago, so in 2024. And through that time it has gone through so many iterations. My site only consists of HTML and CSS and some minimal JavaScript. So I was just wondering if anyone also has an interest in the indie web and more importantly also has some buttons?

    The idea or goal with this post was to just find some more people to add as neighbors because I find it somewhat scary to just ask people out of the blue or email them.

    I also made my own if anyone wants to link it to their site please let me know.

    This is my button:
    https://postimg.cc/xqYQ8dJr

    <a href="https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org"><img src="https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org/button-luna.png" alt="Luna's Button"/></a>

    I guess the link to the site is this:
    https://luna-uwu.nekoweb.org/ (I think i posted it before)

    Some "definitions"

    What is the Indie Web?

    It is some sort of a movement to bring back personal blogs and personal websites there are a few hosting alternatives similar to geocities in the 2000s. One is called neocities and the one I'm currently using is Nekoweb because indeed the web should be for cats!

    What are these 88x31 Buttons?

    so these buttons usually link to other's people site and they are the size of 88x31px it's pretty small but since you can do it in the GIF format, you can even animate them, and they usually look pretty great.
    There are some examples on my site :) on the bottom :)

    I guess that's about it. I hope you have a nice time of day wherever you are.

    The Right wing party (SVP) I think even said a few months ago that they should take away all the dual citizenship.

    And he was a dual citizenship of turkey and Switzerland even his whole family still lives in turkey. So even that would fit with their mission to take away the dual citizenship from "bad foreigners" or whatever they see those people as.

    And I think just generally the ads that are currently up are very insane and cherry picking statistics. - - > from SVP

    I got quite a shock because I have only seen such ads in like idk america or Hungary is a recent example. But seeing such ads from SVP is kinda insane:

    There are 3 statistics next to each other:

    • only 1 out of 10 immigrants is a sought-after skilled worker 
    • 9 out of 10 apartments are built for immigrants 
    • asylum seekers rape 11x more often than Swiss people

    And even when I was talking to people it seemed most people were surprised seeing this kind of ads here in Switzerland. Because yes the right wing party is problematic but I didn't know they were as bad as this!!!

    I feel like it's so hard to get your work out there.

    I am currently studying photography and most museums or galleries only display people that have been doing that for idk 30 years or you pay a gallery to display your work which I find really stupid.

    What I found to be somewhat accessible is something that directly relates to your art.
    For example I created a photo series for my coming out and I wanted it to display somewhere so I wrote this LGBTQ Help point in a city near me and asked if they were interested in displaying my work and they said yes.

    Also what I did before is in participating or helping in making my own exhibit. This exhibit that some friends and I did is definitely a lot cheaper but a lot more work...
    We did an open call for artists that haven't exhibited their work and we did the exhibition in a sort of youth center.

    What also could work is maybe through a bigger art collective or group.

    But I, myself haven't had my work exhibited in a museum so I don't really know either (sry)

    Kind of random and not very "good" as in audiophile things. But I have an old Ipod Classic that I still use. I got it for very cheap and the battery is still quite usable. And since my phone doesn't have a headphone jack I mainly use my Ipod to listen to music.

    And it my experience it just works. It's very reliable. When I listen to music I don't get distracted by my phone and I also don't have to look at my phone so yay! (Also the Ipod just looks really cool. -- I like the 00s Tech a lot)

    I also got referred from my therapist to a center that only does such assessments.

    They even did brain wave readings, which was very creepy and kind of disgusting.
    You have to put a sort of gel in your ear to ensure proper contact.
    I think I got lucky that in my childhood it was suspected, and also, most likely, my dad has ADHD as well. I think I just dealt with it fine since as a child I had a very rigid structure. No spare time, essentially.

    I've also tried meds, but none have worked so far. I can take Ritalin now through my main doctor. I have tested it like 2 or 3 times so far, but I am very much still undecided if I like it or not.

    Now I'm also doing the same thing but for an autism assessment. They have now stopped taking applications, and it's really tedious and a long process. I had to wait from when my therapist signed me up and when I got the first appointment for over a year.

    I hope everyone who needs meds or support or even a diagnosis gets it. I wish all of you the best of luck!

    I'm in Switzerland, btw
