IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Is anyone open to reviewing a page on my site?
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> HTTPS://Jamesg.blog/category/post/1/
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Discord didn’t like that link :joy
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Or that emoji autocomplete.
#
[snarfed] "Post Posts"! 😁
#
[snarfed] the sparkline is fun
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I need to disambiguate between the Post Posts and the Non-Post Posts.
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Just kidding 😛
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> [snarfed] I’m thinking about putting all of the posts on the same page and linking to them with the post title as the link anchor text.
#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> I’m worried the current layout makes it really hard to explore my archive.
#
[snarfed] yeah that's what I do on eg https://snarfed.org/archive
#
Loqi [preview] [Ryan Barrett] Archives
#
[aciccarello] snarfed, you have a lot more pages than I expected
#
[snarfed] yup, 11y of content, plus I don't advertise them much
#
[aciccarello] I want to add updated timestamps too. That's been a low priority task for a while
#
[aciccarello] I have a few weeks off before I start my new job. I'm hoping I can get some personal website development time in. :crossed_fingers:

#
IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> Congrats on the new job [aciccarello]!
#
[aciccarello] Thanks! I'm glad to be moving forward.
#
[KevinMarks] Do you think they'll have rel=me support? https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/instagram-takes-on-linktree-and-others-with-support-for-up-to-5-links-in-bio/
#
[snarfed] so narrow minded, such stockholm syndrome, wow
#
[jeremycherfas] Right now you can only edit the link in bio on mobile, which can be a pain. I wonder if they’ll change that too.

drmr Does anyone know what kind of words I should be using to research the "watermarking" of text content? I feel like there's a name for it but I don't have the vocabulary
#
drmr Something like replacing words with synonyms in a deterministic way, such that if it's leaked, you can find out who leaked it
#
drmr I was thinking about it in the context of IndieAuth (giving different versions of pages to different people)
#
capjamesg One second.
#
capjamesg This video discusses watermarking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZJc1p6RE78
#
capjamesg But in the context of generative text.
#
capjamesg The academic material associated with the video may be relevant, although I haven't reviewed it.
#
capjamesg The video is really good.
#
drmr Ooo, I've seen the paper, it's where they change the statistics of what the next token is for if the token is even or odd, right?
#
[KevinMarks] Messing around with whitespace is one method. There are a lot of unicode whitespace characters that you can swap in for normal spaces in a pattern to encode a message
#
[snarfed] sounds like text steganography
#
capjamesg Yes indeed!
#
capjamesg (responding to drmr)
#
capjamesg -> #dev for specifics?
#
drmr 👌

#
drmr Hah, brilliant! Maybe synonyms are overkill

capjamesg How could I improve my post pages? https://jamesg.blog/2023/04/18/source-code-folder-names/
#
capjamesg Do you find them easy to read?
#
Loqi [preview] [James' Coffee Blog ☕] My source code root folder name
#
[aciccarello] I find it interesting that you have a border around the content (depending on the screen width).
#
[aciccarello] I'd probably prefer there not be a border between the title and the content.

#
[chrisbergr]1 capjamesg I've seen your website earlier this evening on my iphone (12 pro). You have a solid border around your content - as [aciccarello] mentioned. It is strange if you scroll all the way down to the end of the page, because of the round corners of my display the border gets clipped...
#
[aciccarello] I was talking about the other border that only appears with desktop width but it might be worth removing both on mobile.
#
[chrisbergr]1 Oh, okay. Yes, agree. The borders don't really add any benefit instead giving a early 2000s look. That may be intended, I'm just saying 🙂
#
[chrisbergr]1 capjamesg The only other suggestion I my have is to improve your h-card. It is representing your website instead of you. But maybe that is what you wanted 🙂 https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjamesg.blog%2F2023%2F04%2F18%2Fsource-code-folder-names%2F

#
[snarfed] aaronpk++ for https://monocle.p3k.io/preview , very useful
#
capjamesg And mine doens't show :facepalm:
#
[0x3b0b] Mine comes up empty, but I haven't posted in a month. On the other hand there's a related thing I haven't followed up on that would be -dev talk, so that might not be the issue.
