#
mathium05 That's not the link but I think cloudflare is obfuscating the email for some reason
#
aaronpk oh yeah looks like cloudflare transforms the email when it detects the request is not from a browser
#
mathium05 I think it always does that
#
mathium05 But if you're on a browser it fixes it
#
aaronpk oh you're right, it's fixed in javascript
#
mathium05 I was looking in the network requests
kebokyo joined the channel
#
doesnm maybe use github instead of email?
#
mathium05 added that to the site
#
mathium05 now it's not working in a different way

#
mathium05 it let me sign in through github
#
mathium05 And now it's saying this
#
mathium05 Oh wait
#
mathium05 I see
#
mathium05 So it had me sign in with my github account, confirming it was me, and now it want to be confirm it's me again
#
doesnm it's bidirectional verification
#
mathium05 It verrified that I control the site
#
mathium05 And it verrified I control my github account by making me sign into mine
#
aaronpk your github needs to link back, otherwise i could put your github on my website and trick you in to logging in to things as my domain
#
mathium05 It's not really an issue, but the website also makes it clear where you're signing in ot
#
doesnm aaronpk: for that purpose?
#
mathium05 [edit] It's not really an issue, but the website also makes it clear where you're signing in to

#
[tantek] didn't we already determine that wasn't a personal site?
#
[tantek] I think it's better to start there
#
doesnm they created subdomain with personal site i think
#
[mattl] You can turn off the email address obfuscation in the Cloudflare dashboard
#
doesnm not sure that it's good idea
cobbland left the channel
#
[mattl] I’m not saying it is, just that you can do it.
#
[artlung] My practical question: is it working satisfactorily now mathium05?
#
mathium05 I did get it to work
#
gRegor Further sign in discussion might be better in #indieweb-dev

#
rodrigo Hi! What does it take to start a Homebrew Website Club in my country?
plantroon joined the channel
#
[mattl] rodrigo: for an online event… you can just add an event to https://events.indieweb.org and for an in-person event the same thing but you’ll need a bit more planning ahead of time (venue, etc) — just make sure your event follows the code of conduct.
#
capjamesg What is homebrew website club organising?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "homebrew website club organising" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "homebrew website club organising is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg We have a list of helpful tips for this somewhere. I can't remember where though 😭
#
capjamesg Ah!
#
capjamesg rodrigo see https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#How_to_Organize_Virtual_Events for online and https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#How_to_Organize for in person guidance.
#

#
capjamesg [mattl]++ for the summary
#
Loqi [mattl] has 10 karma in this channel over the last year (94 in all channels)
#
capjamesg More HWCs are always welcome! We have had a few new ones pop up over the last year or two (Edinburgh, Philly, Düsseldorf, Bangalore)
plantroon and jak2k1 joined the channel
#
[tantek] Typically it takes a committed collaborator. People have tried starting HWCs of one and the survival rate is very low

#
[mattl] it’s a shame every single example basically requires you to fiddle with the CLI.
