Loqi rofl
#
aaronpk i think you have your x and y click targets mixed up

#
[jacky] I might play with having it post the results to one's site in the near future
#
[jacky] all of the "cards" can be found here: https://git.sr.ht/~jacky/indieweb-bingo/tree/main/item/claims.txt

#
[jacky] need to run and let the dogs out; was good working on indieweb stuff with y'all today!
#
gRegor what is Gemini
#
Loqi Gemini is a protocol alternative to HTTP with similar use-cases, with intentional consideration of privacy and security, that could be an alternative way to serve an IndieWeb site https://indieweb.org/Gemini

[jacky] was looking at random stuff and looks like even the gov believes in cool URLs (and had the problem of keeping old sites up and going) https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/gp/17661.htm
#
[jacky] that subdomain is a contender for very specific and yet short
#
[jacky] but they also have the perk of a topical gtld

[KevinMarks] Interesting thought about default reply affordances for reposts - https://universeodon.com/@siderea/111470832070077960
#
Loqi [preview] [Siderea, Sibylla Bostoniensis] @GargronI didn't expect to like this idea, but I do. I hope it comes to the clients I use.If you really want to move the needle, make the reply button work differently when one is replying to a boosted toot: if my buddy Alice boosts a toot by Ben, an...

h​avacow Hi all... I'm really intrigued by this community. I'm a web developer who for far too long has been distracted by building websites for others and procrastinated on building my own website. I launched my website a couple years ago and now I'm actively trying to make it more interesting.
#
sknebel welcome!
#
[jacky] nice!
#
[jacky] what's your URL for your site, if you don't mind me asking?
#
h​avacow Sure! It's https://alxwntr.com/ - would love any input or feedback.
#
h​avacow [edit] Sure! It's https://alxwntr.com/ - would love any input or feedback.
#
h​avacow At the moment, its main purpose is just a place for me to paste code to so that I can reference it later (and maybe hopefully help someone else who happens to find it when searching for a solution to a problem)
#
[jacky] heh doing the work! the # of times I've looked up how to use `sed` only to find my posts in my bookmarks lol
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
h​avacow lol that happened to me for the first time a few months ago. I googled a problem, only to find one of my posts in the SERP.
#
h​avacow Was quite a nice feeling but also made me feel silly since I realized I'd been down this road before, but forgot.
#
[jacky] that's the most human part of it: the more important things are stuck in your head 🙂
#
h​avacow That's a good outlook.
#
h​avacow What's the URL for your website? If you'd like to share it, that is.
#
[jacky] oh yeah https://jacky.wtf
#
[jacky] it's def a _log_ of things, that's for sure
#
c​apjamesg I like your site design, havacow[d]!
#
c​apjamesg I'm https://jamesg.blog
#
h​avacow Very nice, Jacky. I like the color scheme and the About page is especially well done!
#
h​avacow capjamesg[d]: Thank you!
#
[jacky] thank you!
#
[jacky] there's a lot of us here that have their sites listed on our shared wiki
#
[jacky] what are chat-names
#
Loqi The chat names page has a list of chat regulars sorted by nickname with their website and usual timezone(s), and is used for icons next to nicknames in IndieWeb chat logs https://indieweb.org/chat-names
#
h​avacow capjamesg[d]: capjamesg[d] I just read your "The Bicyclist" post. I too was visiting Manhattan during Veterans Day. I had a view of the Empire State Building outside my hotel window and noticed the colors seemed to change every night that week but didn't really think much as to why.
#
h​avacow [jacky]: Oooh. I see. Wow, there's a lot of people listed here.

#
c​apjamesg This has happened to me more than once.
#
c​apjamesg I once Googled something and realized I had already done exactly the same thing I was planning to do, but six months earlier.
#
h​avacow lol yep. I guess Google search still pays *some* attention the small-medium websites after all.
