Seirdy hey, does anybody have any resources for h-cards with multiple names?
#
Seirdy most people online know me by my handle (Seirdy) while most people offline know me by my real name, and my homepage currently lists both names, no indieweb markup.

#
[fluffy] That’s more of a #microformats question I think.
#
Seirdy got it

#
BinyaminGreen[m] How bad is it for me to redo my url structure? I mean, is it really gonna hurt me if most traffic is new visitors?
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
ciccarellome[m] Can you setup redirects?
KempfCreative joined the channel
#
BinyaminGreen[m] yep. But how long should they be up for?

Loqi ok, I added "SMS recovery vulnerability addition prompting: Amazon.com, upon signing in with email and password, prompts you to enter a mobile number for “account security”" to the "See Also" section of /SMS https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=74109&oldid=74055

petermolnar BinyaminGreen[m]: re url structure: you should keep the redirects as long as you have that site; essentially forever. At least that's what I'm doing
#
petermolnar I have a few thousands direct, and a few regex rewrites on my site to be honest
#
petermolnar from one perspective, I'm proud that it's there, from another perspective, I should have planned better many moons ago :D

Zegnat Good morning IndieWeb!
#
petermolnar ahoy-hoy Zegnat
#
Zegnat Hiya petermolnar! Any projects today?
#
petermolnar technically, I'm at work
#
petermolnar meaning I'm sitting at the same display, at the same desk, in the same room, as when I'm not, but now I'm logged in to the company VPN
#
petermolnar other, than that, I might finally get to assembling an outdoor fuse box into a motioneye + rpi based security camera, which has nothing to do with indieweb, so I should probably take this to -chat :)
#
Zegnat Today I am looking at text editors for writing online. Maybe I will try blogging again in 2021.

#
BinyaminGreen[m] petermolnar: re keeping urls the same - The point of this restructuring is to make smarter urls.

#
jeremycherfas Going forward, yes. But the rewrite rules allow you to take advantage of anyone finding an item through search.

#
BinyaminGreen[m] That makes sense.

BinyaminGreen[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/kFkLCgvPZOMYcenIrhVPzJbN/message.txt >
#
BinyaminGreen[m] My worry is that I won't have a `/blog` page anymore, and I might decide I only want a blog in the future.
#
petermolnar BinyaminGreen[m]: I regularly check my webserver's access log for recent 404 hits. If I recognise that it should be redirected, I add it to my redirects.
ShadowKyogre left the channel
#
petermolnar that is how I ended up with https://gist.github.com/petermolnar/6da68848d0633e9ddd675c422d546c6e
#
petermolnar that is a result of: CMS migrations, deprecation of certain content types (likes, bookmarks, etc), obsolete features (short urls), etc.
#
BinyaminGreen[m] I wish I could do that. I use Netlify, so I don't have access to the server logs. I could use a CI job, with cypress. That might work.

#
[Raphael_Luckom] using 404s to identify missing redirects is a great idea, going to start doing that
#
[Raphael_Luckom] lol I should redirect wp-admin, would boost my apparent traffic 😄

#
jeremycherfas My redirects give 404s for posts from my old WP-based website that I have not yet brought into the new CMS, and every now and again I go through the logs looking for those so I can migrate them.

#
jamietanna I've got redirects for all the various places that have changed URLs over time and am planning on keeping the redirects indefinitely, as I never know where/when things were bookmarked/linked from

#
[chrisaldrich] BinyaminGreen[m] don't forget to redirect your feed links (RSS/Atom/etc.) people will often forward everything, but cut off or greatly inconvenience their followers...
elioat_ joined the channel
#
BinyaminGreen[m] Thanks. I wish I could track who really uses them, but analytics doesn't work with RSS or JSON.

#
Zegnat Analytics how? You can definitely do analytics on RSS from your request logs. And centralised services like Feedbin will (sometimes) include total number of subscribers in their user agent.

#
Seirdy BinyaminGreen[m]: you can always check your access logs.
#
Seirdy oh just scrolled up nvm
#
Seirdy BinyaminGreen[m]: honestly for a simple static site like yours, you probably don't need a CDN. if access logs would help you, you could just make your CI job rsync the dist/ directory to a vps and have your favorite webserver serve the files.
#
BinyaminGreen[m] Seirdy: I mean it referring to checking for broken/dead links
#
Seirdy yeah; i use access logs for that
#
Seirdy (rip)grep, sed, and maybe a bit of awk.
#
Seirdy tho most of my 404s are attackers looking for php files, wordpress logins, and .env files with secrets. there are none.
#
Seirdy does anybody here have experience hosting webmentiond (https://github.com/zerok/webmentiond)?
#
Loqi [zerok] webmentiond: A simple webmention receiver in Go
#
Seirdy thinking about hitting indieweb lvl 2, but I like to keep everything 1st-party.
