[chrisaldrich] What do you know... Some ink for digital gardens https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/09/03/1007716/digital-gardens-let-you-cultivate-your-own-little-bit-of-the-internet/
#
dmbaturin_ sknebel: Given how quickly it sank into the depths of HN, you must have been quite lucky to see it. :)

#
petermolnar what is digital garden?
#
Loqi A Commonplace book (or commonplaces) are a way to compile and store knowledge, usually by writing information into books, notebooks, card catalogs, or in more modern settings on one's own website https://indieweb.org/digital_garden
#
[Murray] hmm, yeah I agree with that definition that digital garden is equivalent (though probably subtly different) to a commonplace book. I feel like that article is more just talking about personal websites. Interesting if the term goes more in that direction 🤔

jeremycherfas !tell jmac I finally had a chance to go take a look at the piece on Bise you linked to at https://www.linode.com/docs/web-servers/apache/measure-your-websites-recurring-readership-with-bise/ and it just spins it's wheels. Linode docs seems OK.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
jmac jeremycherfas: Not sure what you mean. That particular page on linode.com doesn't load in your browser?

#
dckc anybody use microformats for playlists? (does anyone even have a local copy of their music any more?)
#
dckc calling my collection of purchased popular music "my music" is even a bit of a stretch; what I own is a license
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] dckc I do but I don't mark it up in any special way
#
[jgmac1106] I need to put mine back online though, I had it all in one subdirectory but then moved it to owncloud but they only allow a 1,000 folders so I could only ad 60% of my music

#
[tantek] a music collection can be like a book collection. you still own the CDs / LPs, like you own the books
#
[tantek] what is a personal library
#
Loqi A personal library is an online collection of books that reflects either physical or digital items one owns, wants to acquire, has bookmarked to read, is currently reading, or read in the past https://indieweb.org/personal_library
#
[tantek] dckc ^ that's probably closest, check that out and perhaps add your use-case to the Brainstorming section
#
[tantek] petermolnar, re: "follow is way too much cult wording", that's a reasonable criticism and if you like, feel free to add it to a "Criticism" section on /follow. I think it's good to capture insights / different perspectives like that, perhaps for others who might also prefer subscribe / subscriber etc.
#
jeremycherfas jmac must have been a temporary glitch (although it lasted at least 30 minutes) Fine now.

#
jmac "Linode"? More like "onLINe? NO! (DE)"
#
jmac (Linode is actually great and I've been using it for all my projects for many years and I'm chuffed to start writing for them and sometimes the internet just sucks at random)
#
jeremycherfas All true, I am sure.
#
jmac Anyway, I appreciate the alert. :)
#
jeremycherfas Have you seen an uptick in uptake?
[fluffy] joined the channel
#
[fluffy] I’ve been using Linode for something like a decade now and I can only recall two major outages, and one of them was because their upstream crapped itself. (The other was a bad confluence of unexpected hardware failures.)
#
jeremycherfas My set -up for Bise is a bit peculiar because I download the logs daily, because Dreamhost only keeps three days uncompressed. And I donwload them locally and then do the necessary by hand once a week. Burt I enjoy doing it.
#
jmac jeremycherfas: Feedback so far has been a pleasant amount of twitter-likes from strangers, one guy suspiciously asking if it was really free, and a friend delightedly sharing a fresh text dump of Bise output
#
jeremycherfas That's gratifying.
#
jmac Otherwise it's just a lump of code on GitHub, who knows who is actually installing the fool thing. (Someday I'll un-silo my source, but it's not a personal priority...)

jeremycherfas Well, I for one, find it handy.

#
[jgmac1106] Dckc I ended up not worrying about how to mark it up and just get it up.... After fooling around for too long just published it as a text file.
#
[jgmac1106] ... But yes we need more "own your music" buying physical media from artists sustains artists. Streaming does not
