[tantek] Solid post. That's worth IndieNewsing IMO because it also covers some good Reader how-tos

#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> yay!
#
Loqi giggles
#
[chrisbergr] Cool idea, especially if one owns some short urls
#
[tantek] hmm, no mention of how it works, whether it uses rel=me like the rest of us etc.
#
[snarfed]1 no, it's DNS, probably TXT records
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> rel=me would be nice.

[tantek] as much as your personal home wifi network is a part of your "indie web" presence (or at least access), has anyone here created one of those old-timey "home sweet home" cross-stitches with a QR code for your wifi SSID/pw and hung it up inside your entrance? https://www.popsci.com/diy/cross-stitch-qr-code/
#
aaronpk I am going to make a laser cut wooden QR code for that
#
[0x3b0b] I thought about it a few times. I think every time I've considered it, I either put it off because if I did that for my guest wifi I'd also feel obligated to get around to MAC filtering my private ones, or thought if I were going to do something like that I'd rather use an NFC tag, or didn't bother because I have a lot of tidying up to do before I would realistically entertain even immediate family as guests.

#
[tantek] I'm thinking of doing it in LEGO
#
[tantek] of course already done on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/jbk3ad/functioning_lego_qr_code_if_you_scan_it_with_a/
#
Salt Oh hey, it finally connected me, yay! I've been out of the indieweb world for a bit but excited to get a regular seattle hwc going...
#
[tantek] that's a bit easier to modify than a woodcut or needlepoint 🙂
#
Loqi 😊

Loqi Salt has 1 karma over the last year
#
Salt anyhoo, I popped by specifically because there is a new FOSS conference that is happening in July in Portland, OR, USA. They are doing a call for community tracks, and I'd love to see an indieweb focused one, though I can't lead the effort myself: https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/
#
[0x3b0b] It wasn't a wifi password, but I think somewhere I still have a copy of a friend's old Minecraft world file circa...maybe 13 years ago? ...in which we each built a giant working QR code in the sky. I think mine was made of wool blocks and may have linked to the end of the internet.
#
[0x3b0b] Sorry, that was definitely a drift off topic.
#
Salt (I'm not affiliated with them, just saw that the call closes in a couple of weeks and know what content I'd like to see when down there...)
