#gRegorLoveWorking with Mediawiki templates can be a pain.
#gRegorLoveI just want to be able to inject a class="u-url" on a wiki link to [[page]], but looks like the template will just have to take the full URL and build the link.
#aaronpk"just" and "mediawiki" rarely belong in the same sentence
#Schnitzsc dearth: people ask on tumblr, where should I go then, me: indieweb! they: nah... me: then go home. LOL
#Schnitzit could well be that the upcoming wave of silo deaths will simply drive a lot of people out of the internet and back into reality, some fraction to indieweb
#aaronpkit occurs to me that now that we have people regularly joining the chat from Slack and the indiewebcamp.com web interface, we shouldn't really call this IRC anymore, since IRC is really just thing that broadcasts the messages around
rbrt, funwhilelost, elima_, oliverpattison, wolftune, kerozene and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#[kevinmarks]We could call it webchat with irc and slack mirrors

#[aaronpk]Argh. silo.pub checking for whether the post contains the username being mentioned is case sensitive so it added the capitalized version of the username I replied to and now that tweet looks ridiculous
#[kevinmarks]Normalising to the caps they use on twitter seems a reasonable heuristic

#petermolnarSchnitz: re "it could well be that the upcoming wave of silo deaths will simply drive a lot of people out of the internet and back into reality, some fraction to indieweb" -> https://petermolnar.eu/exodus/ last paragraph
#[oliverpattison]I think this new ACM page should actually be moved to something like “AWS Certificate Manager” but I don’t know the best practice (new to this wiki) –Â does that sound right?
[aaronpk] joined the channel
#[aaronpk]Yep! Usually better to use the full name for the page and then a redirect for the acronym
#[shaners]!tell aaronpk loqi feature request: try to fetch name/contents for pasted URLs like tweet URLs. If there are mf2, give a little preview in the channel. If not, do nothing.
#aaronpkhaving written code to generate this sort of "link preview" from microformats data a number of times now, I only want to write it one more time and turn it into a service so that I don't have to think about it again
#tantekI think that's on the /Loqi feature request list right?
#tantekaaronpk: do you have a name for link preview as a service?
#aaronpkI think we talked about this the other day? I mentioned "Scribe" but you had some other ideas
#[shaners]aaronpk: when you roll these services, do you also build an underlying package/library that does the core thing? So someone could re-use the functionality in their app without standing up a full service.
#aaronpkof course i'm not gonna do it in a way that isn't irreversible
#tantekIt's not a silo-quit, but I do see it as a silo-de-emphasis of sorts, since it's a deliberate limiting of searchability/discoverability of your FB POSSE copies, as well as who can see them by default, past/present/future.
#aaronpkstep 1) back everything up. step 2) set up new mediawiki code with a copy of the database. step 3) run the upgrade script, then fiddle with updating extensions and such. step 4) swap domain names to launch the new site
#tantekaaronpk: I'm not sure I care about FB posts not being public, not being reversible.
#tantekEspecially since I can still selectively flip posts to public on demand (e.g. as citations for indieweb POSSE examples etc.)
#tantekI have this general feeling that by taking silo profiles private, I am de-emphasizing them for public discovery, and thus shifting that emphasis for public discovery to my own site. That feels like an indieweb step forward.
#petermolnartantek I've exported my FB past and manually deleted all of my {posts,likes}, nearly all of my photos, and lots of my comments; whatever was public is public on my site now, the rest is archived; no one will ever scroll back my facebook wall that far anyway, so what's the point?
#tantekpetermolnar: interesting, do you do that periodically? or did you close your FB account afterwards?
#petermolnarI'm not liking anything anymore at all; no posting ( I had exceptions POSSEd, they were deleted lately as well )
#aaronpkhm making everything friends only seems like not a bad idea
#petermolnarfor the comments... I hate FB comments but I had to learn that some of my friends "require" it, so I think about them as ephemeral words
#aaronpki don't think i care about having any public content on facebook, i'd rather direct people to my site who don't know me
#tantekaaronpk: indeed. I'm trying to be very deliberate about it and documenting the steps so others can explore without having to commit (or even have a FB account)
#aaronpki think public twitter still has value to me

#tantekIt's more drastic because 1. you can't flip individual tweets to be public, 2. public tweets with hashtags have much more affect/discovery than public FB posts with hashtags
#aaronpkyeah, it's the hashtag thing for me. being able to participate in public discussions that happen on a hashtag
#tantekExcept what happens when a public account rewteets a private tweet? Is that even possible?
#tantekfortnight is two weeks, the term a shortening of fo(u)rt(een-)night(s); fortnightly means every fortnight, the typical frequency of [[Homebrew Website Club]] meetups. See also [[Events]].
