cambridgeport90_ þI have an idea at some point here in the not-too-distant future,I want to set up my site to link to my NextCloud backend for storage of files. Is that stillIndieweb,as long as the file backend is hosted by me?
# cambridgeport90_ I didn't think about that until NextCloud came into my life.

[aciccarello] Saw that this search engine project that 404 media posted about has an IndieWeb filter.

# cambridgeport90 Just wondering...is there a point to using short URLs anymore, even if you host your own URL shortener through something like YOURLS or Hum? (thinking about either option over here). I have CP90.us as my short URL,and I like to use it even on the Fediverse (regardless of whether or not mastodon counts short urls as characters against your post,though I don't run my internet life based on what one software packages tells us the rules should
# cambridgeport90 be. I like having the short domain more to feel like I own the post. thoughts?

# cambridgeport90 (then not sure whether I'm gonna change my short url from .us (got that on a whim,think it was due to something that gwg posted on his site) to .tech.)
# cambridgeport90 .tech is a bit expensive where my domains are at; $2.99 was good initially,but $59.909 for renewal?
# cambridgeport90 $59.99...wish we could edit. LOL

# cambridgeport90 I would love to be able to avoid the t.co shortening on Twitter/X,though not sure how I'm even gonna do that yet, considering my API key was taken away due to "excessive automation..."
# cambridgeport90 I haven't tried to put it back.

# cambridgeport90 BTW, love the personal domains article...I can say that there was a school in new Hampshire which my cousin went to which had technical education built in; I need to call him anyway at some point, so will ask him which one it was and whether they still do have that course available. I'll add it to the wiki if he says yes.

rubenwardy recently, short links have been useful for me to make smaller QR codes
# rubenwardy I also use my short domain for sharing images on IRC
# 
mahboubine capjamesg: I am quite proud of the fact that I scored a domain that's both short and easy to pronounce
# mahboubine it's yusuf.fyi
# mahboubine at least /I/ find it easy to pronounce, I don't know about you guys

# Loqi short domains are commonly used on the IndieWeb for personal short URLs, or clever domain names https://indieweb.org/short-domain
