mblaney gotta go but got a webmention from: https://jgmac1106.tumblr.com/post/188831206315/hey-ds106-clmooc-and-literacies-dooo-folks
mblaney left the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Ohh okay I am sending... Need to think about that so folks don't get a webmention from me, micro.blog,twitter,and tumblr...
#
[jgmac1106] Though I notice some CMSs handle duplicate better than others
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] [jgmac1106] yeah https://indieweb.org/deduplication is arguably on the receiver as much as the sender.
#
[tantek] Definitely

vika_nezrimaya good morning IndieWeb
#
vika_nezrimaya sorry for long radio silence :3 right now I'm trying to nurse myself and my software back to normal
#
GWG Morning
#
vika_nezrimaya and yay my tests for file-based pyindieblog storage backend just passed
#
Loqi giggles
#
vika_nezrimaya this means I can forget about possibility of Redis crashing
#
vika_nezrimaya but now I need to get a RAID 1 for my files
#
vika_nezrimaya or at least a backup. should be easier now though!
#
vika_nezrimaya Actually my blog posts suffered a bit of a worse fate. The HDD is hopefully alive, but I literally can't connect it to anything. There is no spare SATA ports or cables

#
mblaney I'm happy to get a webmention for a syndicated post, was just curious how that happened from tumblr.

ShokuninDiscord[ I have a dumb question. Is there a list of all the things Loqi can do?
#
[jgmac1106] What is Loqi?

#
[Ramiro_Ruiz] Hello 👋
#
[Ramiro_Ruiz] I’m looking for ways to host short videos as I started to own my instagram content and I tend to post videos every once in a while. Is a standard practice to include the mp4 or use something like YouTube? The videos already are on my iCloud, I haven’t seen many Indieweb websites with video content that’s why I’m asking to know some good practices.
#
[snarfed] [Ramiro_Ruiz] hi! just use a <video> pointing to the mp4. lots of examples on https://indieweb.org/video
#
[Ramiro_Ruiz] Yes thank you [snarfed] that’s what I wanted to know if it was good just be simple like that. I searched for video on the indieweb site I don’t know why I didn’t get any page results, probably a typo mistake.

[chrisaldrich] Just visited the birthplace of the internet and saw this:
#
KartikPrabhu [chrisaldrich]: images from slack don't seem to show up in IRC
#
[chrisaldrich] Alas... Thought that got fixed... Will post from my site shortly.

aaronpk swentel: nice!
#
aaronpk that's great
#
swentel I almost can't think of any feature anymore hehe
#
swentel besides maybe configuring channel properties (e.g. exclude, include etc)
#
swentel but that's not something you configure /that/ much
#
swentel and the drupal UI supports that, so that's fine imo for now

#
sukil weird
#
petermolnar huh, "powered by nikola". I considered nikola before doing my own static generator, I can't exactly remember why I thrown it away as an option.
#
sknebel petermolnar: i think you mentioned problems with the image handling once
#
sknebel But to be fair, we've talked about that a bunch, so I might remember the wrong context :D
#
sukil can I create a sparkline with no photo?
[frank] joined the channel
#
[frank] [aaronpk] is your /profile page open source available? I'd like to use as a template for my "Link in bio" page on Instagram
#
sukil forget it, sparkline not needed I think
yoroy joined the channel
#
aaronpk [frank]: it's all inline HTML/CSS you can copy from that page!
#
aaronpk oh and the icons are from Font Awesome

[jgmac1106] Frank here is a WP version of a single page profile site cogodog built. I think I have a fork with the site as an h-card somewhere

#
jeremycherfas !tell sukil My sparkline "photo" is not a photograph.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
sukil I know, I mean without image. Like I said, I've gone ahead and done it without the sparkline template, just with [[user]]
#
Loqi sukil: jeremycherfas left you a message 1 minute ago: My sparkline "photo" is not a photograph.
#
jeremycherfas [jgmac1106] That "theme" is extremely cool. I have many versions of it hanging about here, all of which feel just a bit too overblown for my work persona, which is what I want to use it for.
#
jeremycherfas You can do that too.
#
jeremycherfas Who is sukil
#
Loqi Sukil is an amateur programmer, occassional translator and blogger https://indieweb.org/User:Www.sukiletxe.eu
#
jeremycherfas So far, so good! :)
#
sukil oh, now it works. I recall having removed a / from somewhere else

#
[chrisbergr] [aaronpk] I remember that you added auto generated screenshots to your bookmarks in the past. Why did you dropped this great feature?
#
aaronpk I was using benwerd's screenshot API and it stopped working 😂
#
aaronpk at some point I need to figure out how to set one up myself
#
aaronpk I miss it
#
Loqi misses it too
#
[chrisbergr] Yeah, and I want it. Since I've seen it the first time at your page ^^
#
aaronpk it's probably gotten a lot easier now, it was several years ago that I last tried to set it up
#
[chrisbergr] Wordpress uses some link preview thing in the comments admin page. I wonder if I can access this functionality.

[snarfed] cue our bi-annual #indieweb-meta "how much broad silo tech politics belongs in the #indieweb channel?" discussion 😁
#
[tantek] not sure how pointing to sources of info is "politics"?

[tantek] snarfed, maybe there's information on APIs in there 😉

#
[fluffy] A friend pointed me to this modern remake of Firefox live bookmarks. Seems like it might be worth seeing if they’d consider adding h-feed, micropub, etc. https://fraidyc.at
#
[tantek] OSS that accepts issues / PRs?
wolftune joined the channel
#
[fluffy] Seems to be. Oh it’s by Kicks Condor, yeah they’re definitely amenable to that.

#
[tantek] what is fraidycat
#
Loqi Fraidycat is a browser extension for Firefox or Chrome created by Kicks Condor https://indieweb.org/fraidycat
#
[fluffy] Is Kicks Condor active in IndieWeb chat at all? I know they’re very active in IndieWeb stuff in general but I’ve only knowingly interacted via webmention.

[chrisaldrich] aaronpk, how is the NFC tag experiment going?
#
Loqi [chrisaldrich]: [tonz] left you a message 4 hours, 54 minutes ago: did you take a pic of the logfile? Would you release it as CC BY or CC0, there’s no public domain version of it outside the USA (see https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/10/lo-the-internet-turned-50-today/ )
#
sknebel [fluffy]: Has been at least.
#
sknebel Should have a slack user if I remember right
gareppa joined the channel
#
[fluffy] Not coming up on user search. Oh well.
#
[fluffy] Actually come to think of it Fraidycat probably isn’t the right place for micropub to go. That would be better served by a separate browser extension.
#
[fluffy] Like, UX-wise.
#
[chrisaldrich] [tonz] It was so late when I stopped by Boelter 3420 that the room was locked. I'm by there reasonably frequently, so I'll swing in and grab a photo for you if I can.
#
aaronpk So far people have been pleasantly surprised I would say
#
[chrisaldrich] I've so rarely used NFC anything but would love to have some better use cases for it and that seems like a good one.
#
aaronpk also then they check if their badge has nfc 😂
[tonz] joined the channel
#
[tonz] [chrisaldrich] that would be awesome, a great addition to publicly available internet history to have that image available for re-use in the public domain.
#
[chrisaldrich] 👍

#
jacky do we have/know of other social networks like micro.blog that are IndieWeb centric?
#
[tantek] I believe you are looking for the phrase IndieWeb *friendly*
#
[tantek] what is friendly
#
Loqi IndieWeb friendly refers to online services interoperating well with the indieweb by supporting open indieweb formats, protocols, as well as enabling users to transition to their own indieweb sites https://indieweb.org/friendly
#
[tantek] what is IndieWeb centric
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "IndieWeb centric" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "IndieWeb centric is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] IndieWeb centric is /friendly
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] in short, it's a spectrum, not if, but how friendly (or not)
#
[tantek] and we should continue gently nudging social networks to be more /friendly 🙂
