[schmarty] 🤔
#
[schmarty] I suppose I should've seen that coming, ha

#
[schmarty] That's how abandoned domains are made!
#
aaronpk ha
#
[jgarber] The reply is both a valid critique _and_ an insult. A rare feat! 😂

#
[tantek] Last time I browsed the indieweb ring it was mostly independent blogs, not much "nerd stuff"
#
[schmarty] i think this group was not aware of an existent "indie web ring"
geoffo and jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
aaronpk interesting that the default assumption of an indiewebring is that it is nerd stuff, despite the proposal of an exactly named indiewebring to not be nerd stuff

[tantek] Literally top 5 googling results for indie web ring are for [schmarty]'s indieweb ring either directly or the wiki entry or posts about
#
aaronpk where's the fun in doing research first

#
[aciccarello] Haha, what even is a finished project
#
[aciccarello] I was thinking about creating an archive site for past versions of my website
#
[aciccarello] I figured I'm best off creating archives before I hit incompatibilities with old version of node or something
#
[jacky] haha
#
[jacky] that's a _good_ point
#
[jacky] tempted to print and tape that diagram somewhere
#
[snarfed] "Great art is never finished, only abandoned"
#
[aciccarello] That's a great quote
#
[snarfed] oh sorry there's no "great"! just "Art is never finished, only abandoned"
#
[snarfed] s/art/software/
#
[aciccarello] Sounds like there have been many adaptions of that from french over time https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/03/01/abandon/
#
[snarfed] funny, I've usually heard it attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, who's not even mentioned there
#
[snarfed] history is hard 🤷
#
[aciccarello] There's an interesting tie-in to commonplace books
#
[aciccarello] > In 1970 Auden published “A Certain World: A Commonplace Book”, and he included a slightly shorter version of the adage than he used in 1967:https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/03/01/abandon/#f+21874+1+12
#
[tantek] aciccarello re: "archive site for past versions of my website" I believe current best practice to to use a YYYY. subdomain for that, e.g. when you freeze/abandon a version, you move it to the subdomain and put your "new" version at your plain domain
#
[aciccarello] I was thinking of using an http://archive.ciccarello.me subdomain with paths for the year to make it easier to manage from a DNS perspective but it would add some work to fix the base paths.
#
aaronpk base path fiddling is exactly why i went with YYYY subdomains
#
c​apjamesg I would like that quote on a coffee cup [snarfed]!
