[tantek] !tell metbril any particular reason you're deleting all these redirects? (assuming you're Robertvanbregt.nl) You're likely mistakenly deleting some. We have many redirects because someone linked to something somewhere (a post, a tweet etc.) that had a slight typo etc. so the redirects repair those links. Can you join the indieweb-meta channel to chat more?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[smerrill] happy holidays, indieweb.
#
[smerrill] thanks for all the work you’ve all done on indieweb stuff. Thanks especially to Aaron for Monocle and Aperture and Quill. They have been great additions to my workflow!

#
[eddie] Good morning, IndieWeb!
#
[eddie] I'm officially declaring chat bankruptcy
#
[eddie] I'm beginning with experimenting with a Windows Metro UI style homepage using CSS Grid, it's pretty rough so far: https://eddiehinkle.com/new-home The idea is like Metro UI be able to emphasize certain tiles to be bigger and such (either based on manual selection or based on a threshold of responses)

#
[jgmac1106] Cool idea, was just thinking it be cool to automate the display. Congrats
#
jacky [eddie]: interesting! reminds me of masonry

Loqi [indienews] New post: "Converting png files to jpg files while using a screen reader" https://png2jpg.com/ (from https://www.customerservant.com/converting-png-files-to-jpg-files-while-using-a-screen-reader/)

#
petermolnar !tell [eddie] that metro style ui is ok, but your images is gigantic (in bytesize), please consider downsizing them
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[jgmac1106] It was impossible to even try to find where to begin with regex and Apache servers, thank you.
#
[jgmac1106] [relapse] like the Gurp card generator @zegnat and I been thinking a ton about turn by turn RPG from our own Domains
nitot, iasai and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[relapse] Thank you. That turn-by-turn sounds fun. What thoughts so far?
#
[relapse] Hmmm, now I’m thinking on how to turn h-cards into collectable trading cards...
#
[relapse] I love regex. Always happy to talk/ help with that
#
[relapse] .htaccess files are tricky. I found the main docs tricky, generally ended up kitbashing various google search responses for a day or so until i figured it out
[tantek] and wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] agreed [relapse] - web searching for apache docs is quite frustrating (nevermind the cryptic, I have to read what where in how many disconnected parts? style of the main docs)
#
jgmac1106 [relapse] do you mean h-card trading cards like these: https://opendefenderfolks.glitch.me/
#
[relapse] [tantek] absolutely.
#
[relapse] [jgmac1106] Yes! Hah, cool.
#
jgmac1106 All I was looking for was a cheat sheet of $ means X and . means X…took forever just to learn the term regex…hard to believe my use case wasn’t a common one

#
[relapse] Have you tried http://cht.sh/ ?
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] migration is a *common* desire, less common of a use-case because of barriers like what you ran into!
#
[relapse] That said, https://www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/regular-expressions/ is quite a good cheat sheet for regex.
[metbril] joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu what is regex
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] literally a post that is like "state the problem you need to solve (migrated CMSs, keeping archive.originaldomain around, want to serve old links from it). summarize the solution (use Apache Rewrite rules to add a 404 handler to do it automatically!), show the block of code you added to your .htaccess file, lastly, optional, explain (in terms *you* think you understand) what each line does, or if you don't know, say that! (that's ok too
#
Loqi A regular expression is a sequence of characters used to match, extract, and/or replace patterns in text https://indieweb.org/regex
#
KartikPrabhu [relapse]: feel free to add to wiki page ^
#
[tantek] is trying to help / encourage [jgmac1106] by writing an outline :D
#
[relapse] hehe

#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] also it's just good pedagogy 😄 asking a learner to write a brief report about how they went about solving a (new to them) problem, using (new to them) techniques will drastically help reinforce the learning 🙂
#
jgmac1106 gotta play some games with the kids but I will write up the post
#
jgmac1106 …hee hee exactly why I keep the reflection in my webmention badge workflow
#
[tantek] waits for [jgmac1106] to correct his use of "pedagogy"
#
jgmac1106 i am a fan of the way you teach, no correction needed
#
[tantek] I myself am trying to learn from your educator perspective and experience and adopt helpful language accordingly. 🙂

[tantek] having checked out jacky's site a bit more and used the contact feature, it's definitely been inspiring in many ways. will see if I can document some of the cool/useful features on the wiki
