Okay, okay, I'm going to try to use Mastodon more regularly!

I've been shying away from the world a bit, not really sharing my open source projects due to knocked confidence.

Buuut... I'm going to try to be more active and hopefully find likeminded people on here.

So here's a start:

I decided I could/should start sharing new icons as I add them to the Susty Icons set.

For absolutely no reason at all, I got up this morning and felt a desire to make a peace symbol. Then, obviously, I was thinking about flags.

The 2024 Web Almanac has some interesting reading on web sustainability: https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2024/sustainability#a-quick-note-on-assessing-environmental-impacts

It’s well worth looking beyond the charts and reading the detailed paragraphs — as noted, charts can’t tell the whole story when it comes to things like emissions originating from device use and “green” web hosting #WebSustainability #SustyWeb

Sustainability | 2024 | The Web Almanac by HTTP Archive

Sustainability chapter of the 2024 Web Almanac covering environmental impacts of web pages, where they come from and how to reduce them.

Good episode of Environment Variables podcast with Gaël Duez (Green IO) discussing measuring AI’s carbon emissions, the transparency (or not) of corporations’ carbon accounting and impact reports, and much more 💚

Tune in for an enlightening discussion on the latest in green software.

Great to see the Green Web Foundation is reviewing the evidence they accept for green hosting verification. Trying to find genuinely green web hosting is currently frustratingly opaque, as I’ve written before. It will be good to have greater clarity and transparency around this. https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/reviewing-the-evidence-we-accept-for-green-hosting-verification/ #SustyWeb
Reviewing the evidence we accept for Green hosting verification - Green Web Foundation

We've begun a process of reviewing the evidence we accept for making claims around green hosting, that we intend to conclude in 2025.
