good morning, indieweb; just out of curiosity, I tested how a .onion domain works - as in how to "register" one with tor, how to access it, etc. - and I started to wonder if a similar thing exists for the non-tor world, like a bittorrent id but for dns

probably added it since they wanted to start importing photos
#

they wanted some idea of when the photos were actually taken

#
GWG
Anyone have some insight on posting stuff from the 80s and how to format it?
#
snarfed
GWG: why would you format it differently?
#
GWG
I'm posting it years later than its date. I'm wondering about presentation.
#
tantek
backfilling archives!
#
snarfed
right, i understand what you're doing, i just don't know that backdating means you should render it differently
#
tantek
GWG, it's a similar problem to importing exports of old silo posts
#
tantek
so that's the first question. are you thinking of this as "just" importing your stuff from the 80s and giving the permalinks, OR
#
kylewm
GWG: neon colors and very angular shapes
#
tantek
do you intend to actually do "throwback" posts wherein you create new posts but about stuff that happened in the past?
#
GWG
I'm thinking of doing so selectively.
#
GWG
But I would consider doing a bunch of posts dated in the past and doing a throwback post in the present.

What does a throwback post look like?
#
tantek
GWG - see the #TBT hashtag on Instagram
#
tantek
and "Timehop" posts on Facebook
#
tantek
may be worth starting a page on it since it is a widespread phenomenon on silos
#
GWG
I never liked the Timehop stuff. I felt there might be a better design.
#
tantek
Agreed. we can till deconstruct the existing design into a set of semantic components to re-assemble into a better design

GWG
Under what name on the wiki? Throwback? Timehop?
Tino, johnstorey and tantek joined the channel
#
bear
Timehop is the name of an app that does the "throwback" on facebook
#
bear
so I would use throwback
#
tantek
I think both
#
tantek
they're different things, one is a specific site/service, one is a type of post
#
bear
sure, just saying that throwback describes the action and timehop is a silo example of it

yes :)

FBF is an abbreviation for "FlashBack Friday", and used as a hashtag on silos like [[Instagram]] to signify a [[throwback]] post that contains content from some time ago, typically at least days, often years.
