#
Loqi hey [tw2113_Slack_]1, we try to keep jargon (RSS) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?

Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
capjamesg[d] !tell [chrisaldrich] I am adding a broken link function to my web crawler.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
capjamesg[d] !tell [chrisaldrich] It will not run every time I crawl (that would be very inefficient) but I might schedule it to run once a month. Over the long term, I could use this as a way to track link rot on my blog. I'll schedule it via cron.
#
Ruxton capjamesg[d]: you can HEAD method most of them to reduce time/data usage, instead of using GET to check them, then you can easily run them more often
#
capjamesg[d] Oh, nice call.
#
capjamesg[d] I would never thought of that Ruxton.
#
capjamesg[d] ++Ruxton
#
capjamesg[d] Ruxton++
#
Loqi Ruxton has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (3 in all channels)
#
Ruxton capjamesg[d]: you can also use if-modified-since and other such headers to handle repeat calls over multiple days.
#
capjamesg Ruxton that header is amazing!
#
capjamesg That would make my algorithm so much more efficient.

#
sknebel re twitter experimenting with downvotes, has any site done votes only by mutuals/people you follow/...?
#
sknebel as more of a signal "what do people I sort-of care about think of this" instead of just anyone (potentially including people targeting you)?
