#
mahboubine yes it does, very nice.
to2ds joined the channel
#
to2ds mahboubine - Is that a self-test? :D
#
mahboubine indeed
bterry, Ezri and to2ds joined the channel
#
to2ds "Indeed" is one of my favorite words 😊
[aciccarello] and rvalue joined the channel
#
mahboubine I feel so... cultured when I use it :)
#
to2ds Indeed. The etymology behind it is quite amazing.

#
mahboubine does anyone know if rss readers will notify you if a new post is added with an old date?
#
mahboubine I have a bunch of old articles I want to port to my site, but I don't want to notify every RSS subscriber
#
Loqi hey mahboubine: that's a lot of dev jargon! RSS... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
capjamesg to2ds me too!

#
capjamesg > Seeing a post title start with the word "Indeed" got me excited. I use the word regularly in speech. Indeed, "indeed" is one of my favourite words. How many times have I said "indeed" this paragraph?
#
to2ds Oh, I agree. BTW: Just webmentioned your post :)
#
to2ds Oi! 2:08 - time for sleep :)
#
capjamesg Sleep well!

#
starrwulfe Not exactly indieweb related (or maybe tangentially?) but the time has come for me to consolidate all my fediverse accounts into just 2 or 3. Anyone ever done the migration before?

#
[tantek] starrwulfe, definitely indieweb related, in many ways. asserting thoughtful control over your online identity/identities is very much indieweb, as is migration (profile or posts)
rvalue joined the channel
#
[tantek] reducing (consolidating) online accounts in particular is a good strategy for simplifying your online presence, allowing yourself more time to focus on doing what you want to do with your online presence, rather than the overhead of managing it

#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] does anyone know of personal websites with playlists (+1 if they POSSE)? creating a playlist now on Tidal and the FOLO (fear of losing ownership 😆) is big
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] what is playlist
#
Loqi A playlist represents a collection of audio or video of some significance to the list's creator https://indieweb.org/playlist
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] oops sorry, must remember to search the wiki first 🤦‍♂️
#
[tantek] FOLO!
#
[tantek] have not heard that before, did you come up with that [Joao_Paulo_Pes]?
ZestOfBeans joined the channel
#
[Joao_Paulo_Pes] yes! haha
#
capjamesg I like it!
#
[tantek] what is FOLO
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "FOLO" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "FOLO is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] FOLO is an abbreviation for the fear of [[losing ownership]], a set of the [[why#Avoiding_problems|silo problems to avoid]].
#
Loqi ok
#
aaronpk 😂

#
AbusedNewcomer how is freenode chat different from libera, they seem same
i0ta and AramZS joined the channel
#
flatfuzz they’re two different irc servers
#
flatfuzz they offer the same service, but they’ve got different channels and rules and such
#
flatfuzz it’s sort of similar to two different discord servers if you’re familiar with those, but you can’t use the same account on two servers
#
flatfuzz thats why irc bouncers exist

#
mahboubine do I run a risk of getting DDoS-ed if I have image-based notes on my notes/ page?
#
[tantek] what you consider an "image-based note" rather than a photo?
#
capjamesg [tantek] I think that is a valid question but indirect to the main concern: will having many images on my site impact reliability?
#
mahboubine [tantek]: that's basically what I mean
#
[tantek] ah, that sounds like it will quickly become a #indieweb-dev question tbh because of "storage" and frankly DDoS is not something that typical users know or worry about
#
[tantek] curious Loqi didn't flag that
#
mahboubine ah, I always miss the *-dev distinction
#
mahboubine I guess my originally I had this question because I saw aaron has many images on his frontpage
#
mahboubine but now that I am looking at it, most of his photos seem to be less than 50kb
#
mahboubine so that's not really a problem
#
capjamesg There are lots of things you can do to make images smaller!
#
capjamesg There are manual file converters that let you either make your images smaller or turn them into a format that can be made smaller (i.e. webp).
#
mahboubine I'll look more into webP-s
#
mahboubine anyways I need to go sleep soon
#
mahboubine it was nice chatting
#
capjamesg Likewise!
#
capjamesg To the extent we can be helpful, let us know!
