axeldominator Greetings everyone! I come here in search of sanity...
alfiee joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] I'm not sure how sane I am but you are welcome!
#
axeldominator Thank you!
#
axeldominator The implied insanity refers to the state of the Internet right now

bossy Any solutions for moving calendar/contacts away from google? I have successfully bought a domain and moved my email using migadu.com (someone recommended it here, it's great).

doesnm Radicale/Baikai

[tantek] 50k checkins. I think more than all my other posts combined. Old blog. New blog. Old tweets and Pownce export to backfill. Flickr and IG posts. All of it
#
aaronpk 50K!?
#
aaronpk i just checked and I recently crossed 20K, which is also more than all my other posts combined

petermolnar somewhat offtopic, but not really: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/ - I know [tantek] thinks of AI as another POSSE target, I don't.

[snarfed] people did this many decades ago to mess with web crawlers, everything old is new again 😆

bossy It’s worth keeping my old gmail active, right? Is the risk of some bad actor taking it and using it real? Or not really?
#
bossy Bearing in mind it’s been helpfully leaked by various data breaches over the years and is my full name @gmail.com
#
[aciccarello] I try to retain my email addresses for as long as I can
#
[aciccarello] Though I have yahoo and aol accounts that haven't gotten any meaningful emails in over a decade.
#
aaronpk definitely keep it, you probably forgot at least one service you signed up with on it, and you wouldn't want someone else to take it over and be able to recover your old accounts elsewhere through email recovery flows
#
[snarfed] I highly doubt Google recycles GMail addresses, even if you delete yours
#
[aciccarello] Didn't yahoo do that? Or at least were planing on it
#
[snarfed] Yahoo has a track record of, let's say...less security awareness

carrvo Technically my first IndieWeb blog post: https://turner.enemyterritory.org/shared/repo/user/carrvo/webpages/Journey-to-MIndie.html
#
carrvo I am not sure it "counts" because it is not accessible to automation/bots
#
carrvo Sorry Loqi
#
[snarfed] hmm, I tried to log in with https://snarfed.org/ just now, and it IndieAuthed ok, but after the prompt it just redirected back to the login page
#
carrvo You probably don't have introspection so try "Stay Anonymous".
#
carrvo Actually, why is this the first time I am thinking to put a disclaimer for IndieAuth people about that?
#
carrvo Ironically I talk about it in the article... 😦 Bad me.
