[tantek] This looks like a neat fast IndieWeb-like search engine: https://search.marginalia.nu/ cc: capjamesg[d]
#
[tantek] what is naming
#
Loqi Naming is hard, yes, even, especially for a personal site since you have to pick both a name you like as a representation of yourself, and one that hasn’t been already taken, though sometimes you can ask nicely (or pay a lot) for domains that are registered but unused https://indieweb.org/naming
#
[tantek] borderline IndieWeb relevant, do people have strategies / techniques / methods for naming their home wifi networks?
#
jacky lol currently it's a song lyric
#
jacky or at least part of one
#
jacky mainly to help with remembering the passphrase (though it's seeded with other things to reduce the guessability)
#
barnaby plenty of inspiration here https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/funny-wifi-names
#
[tantek] lol barnaby I'm currently in the rabbithole of https://www.lifewire.com/best-router-and-home-network-names-3971335
#
e-snail my neighbor's got 'LAN of Milk and Honey'
#
barnaby oh that’s a good one
#
[tantek] unless you’re vegan
#
barnaby I recently saw someone mention that they had named theirs “5G chip activator network” to freak out local anti-vaxxers
#
[tantek] I know there are lists, hence I was asking for a more personal answer
#
[tantek] > do people have strategies / techniques / methods for naming their home wifi networks?
#
[tantek] people (on the internet) seem to be fixated on humor and/or trolling
#
e-snail lol @ "Roto, a paean to those who pronounce the word router with an Aussie accent." from the lifewire article
#
[KevinMarks] saying it rooter really doesn't work in Australian

Loqi [indienews] New post: "You Should Check Out the Indie Web" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTSEr0cRJY8 (from https://beesbuzz.biz/blog/chatter/4283-You-Should-Check-Out-the-Indie-Web)
#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] Yeah, Marginalia is amazing. There's a link to IndieWeb Search somewhere in their docs 🙂
#
capjamesg[d] I love the "FBI Surveillance Van 1" Wi-Fi name in that Know Your Meme page 😂

cybi Hello
#
cybi I saw that there will be a meeting at 17:30 - Nottingham, how can I attend? They will share a link later ?
#
sknebel jamietanna: ^^^
#
jamietanna Hey cybi, currently the nottingham HWC is only open to the Tech Nottingham community (https://technottingham.com) - not to exclude anyone, but just because it's a little bit easier to manage. This is a temporary thing while we've been remote, and before long we're looking at resuming in-person
#
cybi jamietanna no problem :)
#
cybi Thank you for reply, one day then ;)
#
jamietanna Are you in Nottingham, cybi?

#

cybi Thank you jacky
#
cybi I'm setting up a OpenBSD machine to be a Tilde ...
#
cybi Slowly, and I saw that I have more work to do to make it more IndieWeb (Mark 1/2/3 etc)

#
jamietanna One day GWG, it's not the busiest recently with everyone having event fatigue
#
[tantek] cybi, that sounds pretty impressive! you may be interested in the #indieweb-dev channel in particular for that.
#
Murray[d] tantek: we named our WiFi years ago by taking the house number we had at the time, going to a page of a book on old adages and folk language, and the first title on the page was "Wonderful Way of Wisdom". The three W motif was just too good, so that's followed us through 4 moves 😄
#
[tantek] Murray[d]++ that's a great name, and a hilarious method
#
Loqi Murray[d] has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (12 in all channels)

#
GWG [tantek]: Is it worth revamping indiemark as people keep finding it despite it being aged?
#
jacky I don't know if it's like 'aged' (for me) but what it could measure has _definitely_ changed as my understanding of the specs and inter-site capabilities have grown
#
[KevinMarks] It is a bit gamified, and I think indiewebify.me was a good evolution of it
#
[tantek] indiewebify.me was never an evolution of it, but rather an implementation of a very small subset
#
Loqi friendly reminder jacky, [tantek], it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (specs, implementation), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] lol yes
#
[KevinMarks] As an approach with validation and discussion, yes. The rocks sites do that as well for the protocols.

#
[aciccarello] I'm curious about what an update to indiemark would look like. indiewebify.me seemed intreaguing to me but I have felt the tension of wanting to view it linearly even though that's not the journey I'm probably going to take.
gRegor joined the channel
#
[tantek] aciccarello, it's natural to want to start with a linear journey where you're guided. that's part of the challenge. too much choice up front and people give up.
gRegor joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] That's a good point
#
[aciccarello] I'll say, the multiple dimensions/axes concept sounded interesting to me.
#
[tantek] I mean we have that now: https://indieweb.org/IndieMark#draft_axes they're just secondary to the "Levels". happy to discuss alternatives in #indieweb-dev

Loqi Reply downvotes are a Twitter feature introduced in 2022 to allow users to downvote, symbolized by a down arrow ⬇, replies to tweets that “isn’t adding to the conversation” https://indieweb.org/Reply_downvotes
#
[tantek] downvote is /Reply_downvotes
