[Al_Abut] Specifically inspired me to create a zine. It’s going to be so manual that I’m almost looking forward to the hurt…
#
[Al_Abut] e.g. type 2 fun

jboy Thanka for the notes. Nice to see you discussed zines. Made me think of BNet, formerly a blog/newsletter, now a PDF zine: https://peeingandpoop.ing/

starrwulfe Some tangentally related news involving the matrix client I uses along with the website engine lots of us use:
#
starrwulfe https://blog.beeper.com/2024/04/09/beeper-is-joining-automattic/
#
[contact898] I really like beeper and I'm super happy for them
#
starrwulfe The foundation for Beeper's multi-flavored chat is Matrix. In fact, I'm using it now to chat here. This is Good News™️ indeed!

#
[Joe_Crawford] If I were to think of Beeper as being like Adium, how wrong or right would that be? (I am embarrassed to say I had not heard of Beeper before today). I am using Element (which uses Matrix under the hood) for a contract gig right now.
#
[contact898] hmm so only finding out now about adium
#
[contact898] I'd say the principle looks to be the same
#
[contact898] The bridges aren't the same though, beeper has WhatsApp, slack, discord, instagram, FB messenger etc, so not the exact same services
#
starrwulfe Adium is a different open-source IM project based on XMPP/Jabber and has been around for about 20 years; Matrix is about 10 years old and a different protocol. But both are open-source and many feel that Matrix is the successor to XMPP.
#
[Joe_Crawford] Thanks. Appreciate the nuance there. Helpful!

#
[qubyte] Oh wow, I really miss adium.
#
[qubyte] I only just now realised how much. I don’t remember when I stopped using it… 😕
#
[qubyte] I used it a lot back in the days of msn messenger.

#
Afdal Can anyone explain to me why I should bother getting a TLS certificate from a centralized authority rather than just generating my own?
#
Afdal I'm an HTTPS newb...
#
capjamesg Afdal that is best asked in #indieweb-dev. I will answer there.
#
Afdal ah, thanks
#
Afdal Also, gross, proprietary spyware relay in a Libera channel... Guess I'm not coming back here >:(
