capjamesg What is a lab?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "lab" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "lab is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg A lab is a place to experiment with making web pages that is outside of your main website.
#
Loqi ok

[tantek] Would my cassis-lab count? https://github.com/tantek/cassis/blob/main/cassis-lab.php
#
capjamesg Probably!

#
[tantek] That seems like a bad idea. The URLs should be hashed client side and then uploaded so no one on the server side has any access to your actual history

perryflynn Regarding sticker culture, a topic from hwc yesterday. Greetings from the Reeperbahn. ☝️☝️
#
perryflynn (I hope you see a picture now)
GuestZero_ and Pixi` joined the channel
#
[tantek] hmm, no picture in Slack or the logs
#
capjamesg I don't see the picture either.
#
Loqi [indienews/de] New post: https://danielpietzsch.com/notes/hwc-dus-june-2025
#
perryflynn Ah my micropub supports pictures. Forgot that. :-D https://serverless.industries/stream/2025/06/88e11507c4451573f7d581594d32be74.html

#
capjamesg Wow! Lots of stickers!
#
perryflynn I should add the picture into the ogp tag and also create thumbnails for picture h-entries. (Now on to-do)
#
[social] perryflynn what is amazing to me in that photo is how neat the sticker layout is with very little overlapping

#
[KevinMarks] it's better than that - BBC has a tld so it's mastodon is social.bbc
#
[tantek] odd that bbc.social doesn't redirect to that then. it's a "premium" domain but presumably MUCH cheaper than the 100k+ required for a tld
#
[KevinMarks] they bought the tld ages ago, and iirc when they tried to use it previously it confused people who expected a more recognisable tld
[Sophia_wood] joined the channel
#
[tantek] yep, this is the problem with rando tlds. usability.
#
Kolev There's a .bbc TLD? Oh dear, that's going to get abused really fast.
#
[tantek] http://social.bbc.com would be less confusing than social.bbc, and even that subdomain doesn't redirect. sheesh.
#
[tantek] Kolev, not really. If the BBC are the only registrar (that's kinda how buying a TLD works), then they don't need to register to anyone else. Prior examples: .apple .google
#
[snarfed] .dev briefly (?)
#
[tantek] [snarfed] I thought Google bought .dev so they could actually allow people outside .dev to register domains?
#
[snarfed] got me, I vaguely remember there was a period where they planned to keep it internal only. not 100% sure though
#
[snarfed] yup https://medium.engineering/use-a-dev-domain-not-anymore-95219778e6fd#:~:text=hy%20does%20google%20own
#
capjamesg [snarfed] https://www.theverge.com/news/678928/bounce-bluesky-mastodon-bridgy-fed-tool-followers is amazing!

formercanaanite finally got the time and my site has now been used for a login in indieweb.org! I will have a lot of fun mining tantek's website to slowly understand how all these microformats work 😅
#
formercanaanite anyways, happy to be more serious about it: https://www.sensorcensor.xyz

#
Loqi formercanaanite: can you move the tech talk (Microformats) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
formercanaanite anyways, happy to be more serious about it: https://www.sensorcensor.xyz
#
[snarfed] thanks capjamesg! we plan to add migrating to/from web (eg http://micro.blog, ghost) too
#
[tantek] [snarfed]++ both for the Verge article and that medium engineering post with the hilarious OG greybeard preview image I can't even

#
[snarfed] hah yes!
#
[snarfed] also https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/05/introducing-bounce-a-tool-to-move-your-follwing-between-bluesky-and-mastodon/
#
[KevinMarks] so you made a PDS that looks up data in mastodon databases?
#
capjamesg [snarfed] Amazing!
#
[snarfed] [KevinMarks] nah the bridging is still Bridgy Fed, this is migration
#
[tantek] What is migration?
#
Loqi migration in the context of the indieweb refers to the process of moving your indieweb site from any one or more of one CMS / web host / DNS provider / URL design / domain name to another https://indieweb.org/migration

#
[tantek] could be useful to add Bounce etc. to that ^ ?
#
[snarfed] sure!
#
[0x3b0b] I followed that link to the Fediforum thing, and from there to Cory Doctorow's site, and about the fourth thing I noticed was that his "ONE SENTENCE" section is five sentences, which made me roll my eyes and chuckle.
