sukilHi, here's a concern I have: in most sites, if a site goes down, I understand that comments will be preserved by the Internet Archive, as they're part of the html of the site. Webmentions, however, embed some javascript, which results in comments being non-archivable. Is this correct?
sknebelif you use a service like webmention.io (e.g. on a static site), you can also have something copy them from there and store them with your site, and build them into HTML
LoqiMorris is a self-hosted PHP service for storing Webmentions from webmention.io in a JSON format that static sites can use to render them without querying webmention.io on each build https://indieweb.org/Morris
sknebel(this runs always, but you also can do it only when you are rebuilding your site anyways, and then at least all mentions up to that point are stored by you)
sknebelso there's certainly a few ways of getting webmentions on a static site, but I don't think anyone around here has a ready-made example for Nikola

@d3zHoping that #nidevconf18 will give me the impetus to start making stuff. IndieWeb and Rust might be a good combination to start with. (twitter.com/_/status/1005779018665295873)

@simonmumbles↩️ In steps the open web, the original platform; its spirit lives on via initiatives such as the IndieWeb. Alternative platforms have risen, smaller and often built around philosophies opposed to the big platforms. They are often run by small groups of people, as few as 2 or 3.

LoqiHomebrew Website Club is a bi-weekly meetup of people passionate about or interested in creating, improving, building, designing their own website, in the same structure as the classic Homebrew Computer Club meetings https://indieweb.org/vHWC
jeremycherfasvHWC takes place at different local times and sometimes on different days. I was not able to take part in any of the ones in EDT timezone.
jeremycherfasAt the moment, that is about right. But because they are virtual, we have had people located in North America joining the vHWC on CEST. I don't know whether anyone from Europe has attended vHWC on EDT.
ZegnatYes, sknebel is also hosting a webclient that should let the browser call in directly. But we have had mixed results there with testing. If you can, install a Mumble client. Its available for almost any platform, including mobile, and the sound quality is good.
Zegnatjeremycherfas, I’d love to do a vHWC again on Wednesday! Feel free to propose some times. For the last one we moved to BST and had petermolnar and ancarda join.
sketchessWell I have installed a client for windows. And guess what, it was screaming into my ears. Hope it will do better with the Yeti. And hope my Laptop will hold itself together till repair
ZegnatThe main time I put on the wiki is usually on CEST. Because that is how it got started. But as people from all over drop in, it is more about finding a timeslot that fits the most people
Zegnatsketchess, you connect Mumble to the voice.sknebel.net server and there should be just the one lobby to talk in. But I guess nobody is there right now
ancardaOh, interesting, there's actually a link in the wiki article for the web interface that will automatically work (just needs a username to be specified)
ancardaI would call in from my laptop using my Yeti but the meetups aren't late enough so I'm never home. That's why I use my phone instead - I'm usually on the train when the vHWC is on
ancardaOk, so the wiki page for Mumble does list "the web client has some audio quality issues" as a known issue. Would you be able to download a native (so not web) client for Mumble?
sknebelancarda: good. yes, the web client is ... interesting. if I understand it correctly, someone ripped out the voice processing parts from mumble and compiled them with emscripten, and it then pushes those over websockets...
@royscholtenThis is my version of the steps you need to take to make your site part of the indie web community. Swentel helped me getting it all setup on this here Drupal site using his indieweb module. It’s all a bit complicated still, so this is mostly me trying to retroactively… (twitter.com/_/status/1005932197528985602)
