[tantek] perhaps even to help pick between hotels based on which is closer to recommendations in the neighborhood
#
[tantek] another thought I had about venue recommendations, inspired by gRegor's headings/sections for each city: when I look for venue recommendations I'm almost always not only looking for a specific city but also a specific neighborhood. like I'm already in that neighborhood and I'm wondering what else I should walk to and check out, or I'm looking into which neighborhood to stay in a city and curious what kind of cool things are in that neighborhood,
#
[tantek] huh, interesting out of order chats in the archive when it was too long in Slack! https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-12-26#t1735174197571500 should be before the entry ahead of it

Hoinkas Hi! It's my first time here so wanted to greet you all. Btw could you please provide link to that "gRegor's headings/sections" you keep mentioning?
#
[tantek] welcome Hoinkas! do you have a personal site? (the thing about gRegor's headings/sections is in the context of a longer running conversation about how to publish venue recommendations on a personal site)
#
[tantek] Hoinkas, you may also be interested in the event happening in ~1hr! https://events.indieweb.org/2024/12/homebrew-website-club-pacific-special-holiday-edition-j26UrI3OowGP
#
GWG It will be a very low key type event
#
Hoinkas Oh I would love to but I am deaf and most of subtitles generating FOSS are not great with various accents :/
#
Hoinkas I don't have my site yet. Currently I am looking for good and viable domain hosting :)
#
[tantek] GWG, does the IndieWeb zoom allow live transcripts / closed caption by default? I believe it does
#
GWG Yes it does
#
Hoinkas Oh so maybe I will try joining and see how CC will keep up
#
Hoinkas Thanks
#
GWG Hoinkas: We're always happy to have you
#
Hoinkas Oh. It's in less than an hour. I am not prepared, especially having 3AM here, so will try next time. But thanks for invitation
#
GWG Hoinkas: We have a European timezone one as well on most Wednesdays
#
Hoinkas Good to hear! Wednesday then
#
GWG And we have our chats here where we talk about various topics
#
Hoinkas So events are more indieweb technical solutions oriented? Is there a difference in topics between calls and chat?

[tantek] What is discuss?
#
Loqi 💬 Join #indieweb discussions via Discord, Slack, web chat, or IRC, (they are all bridged!) with focused channels for developers, WordPress, and meta topics! https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
[tantek] ^ more on chat channels & their topics there
#
Hoinkas Thanks for links and explaination. I read some of it before, just couldn't quite get the difference between event topics and chat topics :)
#
GWG Event is for discussing our in person and online events
#
Hoinkas Btw. I am starting to cutting my ties with "silos" and the whole idea of indieweb is pretty amazing for me but I the more I read about it the bigger my concern becomes. How do you reconcile cutting yourself off from a content-overloaded internet but still know what's going on in the world?
#
GWG I don't cut myself off per se. I just don't live there... I visit occasionally
#
GWG There's the old story about the bank robber claiming he robbed banks because that was where the money was. We've come up with ways to be part of communities while not being locked in
#
Hoinkas Would you mind sharing those ways of yours?
#
GWG Brid.gy is one...a community service that allows responses from external sites...
#
GWG You can pipe some inputs into readers
#
GWG Bridging is a common one
#
Hoinkas Oh, interesting. Thank you very much
#
GWG There are people who are more or less active in various places
