--- date: "2024-04-19T04:08:01-04:00" title: "Classic web badges" outputs: - html description: "My curation of over 70 88x31 badges, representing what I and this site use and stand for." image: "b/sticker_352x124.png" --- My collection of over 80 88x31 badges, representing what I and this site use and stand for. If you have a badge you'd like me to add, just ask; it needs to have a format under 3 kb and avoid excessively flashy animations for me to consider it. [See some tools I use for image optimization]({{}}). ## My badge Use this to link to me! {{}} Note that this image's URL is cache-busted. It will change any time I alter my badge, and is **not** hotlink-friendly. If you wish to hotlink, use one of these URLs: - `https://seirdy.one/sticker_88x31.png` - `https://seirdy.one/sticker_88x31.gif` {{}}{{}} Template markup to embed my 88x31 badge. {{}} ```figure Square icon of a colon and semicolon, next to the word “Seirdy”. ``` {{}} ### Suggestions for embedding my badge - Use `image-rendering: pixelated;` in your CSS for most 88x31 badges, so upscaling filters don't ruin pixel art. - Double the width and height in your HTML to `width="176" height="62"` to make them easier to read on higher-resolution screens. - The more consecutive badges you have, the shorter your average alt-text should be. Balance the need for detail against the need to skim. - If you want to detect my button programmatically, consider the [`.well-known/button.json` schema](https://codeberg.org/LunarEclipse/well-known-button). ## About this site ### Site design standards Read more about the design of this site in my [site design standards page]({{}}). {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} }}">{{}} {{}} ### Software that seirdy.one runs on {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ### Other info about this site {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ### Notes on "About this site" badges The W3C Valid HTML5 badge isn't offered by the new Nu HTML Checker because [HTML5 is about conformance, not validity](https://html5doctor.com/html5-check-it-before-you-wreck-it-with-miketm-smith/). I use it anyways because my markup does fully conform _and_ is well-formed polygot XHTML5, despite false-positives from validators; [see my conformance statement]({{}}). I build Nginx, Conduit, Webmentiond, and other software for seirdy.one using LLVM in a Chimera Linux container, due to LLVM's release-build-optimized sanitizers such as ControlFlowIntegrity. ## Ideological affinity, web-related {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ### Notes on "Ideological affinity, Web-related" badges I included "Right to repair" in this section because I think that page-alteration (via adblockers, inspect-element, userstyles, etc.) counts as exercising one's right to (software) repair. Free software, accessibility, and Right to Repair are interlinked. I previously microblogged [in defense of content blocking from a right-to-repair perspective]({{}}). ## Ideological affinity, other I might eventually move these to a separate page under the "About" section of my site. {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ## Things I use See [my "uses" page]({{}}) for some more information. {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ## Friendly sites These are some people/websites I think are cool!

I'm keeping the badge even if the rest of the shuts down (though it'll probably stick around in archived form). ## Other {{}} {{}} {{}} {{}} ## Credits Many were sourced from [88x31db.com](https://88x31db.com/), which itself sources from other directories.
