#
GWG I had a good hotel lined up
#
[tantek] 28 days until Flickr deleting older than most recent 1000th photo from free accounts starting 2019-02-05 per https://gizmodo.com/flickr-is-going-to-delete-a-bunch-of-photos-back-up-you-1830177165
#
Loqi I added a countdown scheduled for 2019-02-04 4:48pm PST (#6455)
#
[tantek] well that's enough warning hopefully for any stragglers
[davidmead] joined the channel
#
[davidmead] quick hack for goodreads & untappd to get on your site. both offer rss feeds, so i added both to a “me” channel in Aperture and just like them in feedreader (Together). adds a post on my Known 🙂
#
[davidmead] manual, but similar to what I used WPmatico on Wordpress for
#
[tantek] now that's what I call manual PESOS 🙂
#
snarfed oh man speaking of which i manually backfed a handful of old old G+ posts in advance of their upcoming shutdown
#
snarfed also deleted *all* my FB and G+ posts. will post and add to a purge page or whatever on wiki soon
#
snarfed (should do the same w/IG. not there quite yet, but getting close)
#
aaronpk Whoa!
#
[tantek] silo-quits << 2019-01: {{snarfed}} deleted all his FB and G+ posts https://chat.indieweb.org/2019-01-08/1546910034930100
#
Loqi ok, I added "2019-01: {{snarfed}} deleted all his FB and G+ posts https://chat.indieweb.org/2019-01-08/1546910034930100" to the "See Also" section of /silo-quits https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=55378&oldid=55368
#
snarfed yeah we may need that dedicated purge page
#
snarfed (also G+ is kinda meaningless at this point :P)
#
[tantek] what is delete your account?
#
Loqi delete your account is an encouragement to delete your (silo) account, e.g https://indieweb.org/delete_your_account

#
[tantek] Uh-oh I just noticed this: https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/flickr-tosses-free-terabyte-accounts-as-new-free-limit-set-at-1000-photos/ which claims the restriction to 1000 photos on Flickr happens TOMORROW 2019-01-08
#
[tantek] Since that date coincides with the FLICKRPRO15 code expiration date, I'm inclined to think tomorrow may actually be the day
#
[tantek] Ah: "Users on the free tier that exceed their limits will be unable to upload new content after the January 8 cutover, and will have until February 5 to download their content or upgrade before Flickr begins automatically deleting old content until accounts fit within the new bounds."
#
[tantek] so for anyone POSSEing to Flickr, errors may start tomorrow
#
[tantek] Flickr << 2019-01-08 Flickr free users are blocked from uploading 1001th photo per 2018-11-02 Zdnet: [https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/flickr-tosses-free-terabyte-accounts-as-new-free-limit-set-at-1000-photos/ Flickr tosses free terabyte accounts as new free limit set at 1,000 photos]

[Vincent] !tell @deitrichia I’ve written one. It sits on Heroku (or Glitch) and POSTS files in to the Github API. https://github.com/vipickering/mastr-cntrl
#
[tantek] Vincent, I think that may be a slight typo of his name
#
[Vincent] aha, thanks
#
[tantek] Got an email today from Flickr, "Use offer code FLICKRPRO15 at checkout. Offer expires January 15, 2019"
#
[Vincent] !tell @dietricha I’ve written one. It sits on Heroku (or Glitch) and POSTS files in to the Github API. https://github.com/vipickering/mastr-cntrl I use Github/Netlify and Jekyll. Mastr Cntrl sits on Heroku and POSTS in to the Github API, which triggers the rebuild.
#
Loqi I added a countdown scheduled for 2019-01-14 11:46pm PST (#6457)
#
[tantek] 7 days until Flickr Pro discount code (FLICKRPRO15 at checkout) expires on 2019-01-15!

petermolnar re Flickr: I'd actually be happy storing my own photos and allowing Flickr to hotlink, so there's no storage cost for them, but I know that's not an option
#
petermolnar it'd make an interesting social media - bring your own media
catsup, nitot, LT and [Vincent] joined the channel
#
[Vincent] [petermolnar_] like a reverse pinterest almost mashed up with flickr?
#
[Vincent] BYOP - Bring Your own Photos
#
petermolnar BYOB - bring your own blog
#
petermolnar I see a whole family of BYO'
#
[Vincent] I like it

#
[Vincent] you could easily add yourself to some kind of aggregator like that by sending a Webmention and ensuring you have a specific tags on your page. The service would just look for the mf tags when it gets the page. Then once its added send a Webmention back,
#
[Vincent] People could use Indie readers to follow tags they like etc and discover content

#
[tantek] dietricha - To mention IRC nicknames, use plain text, no @. To mention Slack names (the ones with [ ] around them), use brackets around them 🙂 and Loqi will "@" them in Slack for you. To mention a Twitter profile, use @ and it'll be auto-linked in the logs 🙂
#
[tantek] petermolnar those are great ideas for indieweb-aware social aggregators
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
aaronpk (basically in IRC treat everything as normal, no @, and mention the name you see in IRC)
#
dietricha Yeah I assumed IRC was IRC. Twas the IRC->Slack I was wondering about.
#
aaronpk right, the bridge converts it so that it looks right in slack, you shouldn't have to think about it
#
jgmac1106 an interesting almost silo quit on facebook with an IndieWeb shout out…delete and stay
#
jgmac1106 https://robinderosa.net/uncategorized/facebook-delete-and-stay
#
snarfed jgmac1106: yeah we've been calling that a purge. https://indieweb.org/silo-quits#Purging_Rather_Than_Quitting . i did the same just weeks ago. finishing up a post about it now.
#
jgmac1106 I have to sell my car, last time I bought a car the dealer offered me 1,000 k for trad it, listed in town facebook group sold it for double while I sat with him..I really miss the selling/swapping groups
#
jgmac1106 …supposed to be only using chat for direct inquires until I finish book and clases by 1/22 looks like I need to shut down to follow my rules….]

Loqi [David Shanske] Finally got a direct GPS fix as I am next to the window. Let’s see how Indigenous for Android passes Altitude.
#
GWG Indigenous finally got to pass altitude
#
snarfed time to learn to manually generate test data
#
snarfed waiting until you're on a flight with a window seat seems...inconvenient at best 😂
#
GWG snarfed, I did on my computer. I didn't want to put my Android phone into dev mode
#
snarfed ah ok
#
GWG I simulated it by a manual Micropub post
#
GWG This is real world testing
#
GWG snarfed, to be honest, there is a debate as to the utility of altitude anyway
#
snarfed sure, that's part of the beauty of indieweb. you don't have to convince anyone else of a use case; if you want it, you get to do it yourself
#
GWG I just finally beat aaronpk to something location related. I hope to get his trip type posts built someday
