[morgan] Hey I just wanted to share a moment of gratitude and thankfulness for the organizers and volunteers of the group. Its enjoyable but non-trivial amounts of organizing and showing up go into it, and Ive really got a lot out of a few of the events Ive attended. Its really well organized. We had callers from several countries joining a zoom, to talk about technology and websites and good stuff. I literally think this kind of thing is part of the
#
[morgan] fabric of a semi functioning globe, at least the healthy good parts.
#
[morgan] TY [capjamesg] [artlung] and many more but you both hosted ones today

#
[morgan] t was completely unnecessary but I did a few things to my Linkedin, and then signed out, and intend to remain permanently signed out.
#
[morgan] I set my website and bio headline to point to my own website.
#
[morgan] I made a connections only post as my last post intended just to say "Ill be continuing to post at my own site"
#
[morgan] Im really hoping this 'silo quit' holds strength, that website has a capacity to frustrate me endlessly
#
[morgan] Just like I dont need it, and I dont imagine its even useful if I was looking for work
#
[tantek] What is silo quits
#
Loqi silo quits are public statements by individuals announcing they have quit posting on or using various silos with no intention to return. Sometimes people take a temporary break, AKA "social media break" or soft quit https://indieweb.org/silo-quits

#
aaronpk Five years ago wow

snowlesstaco [KevinMarks]: Omg, this was such an amazing article that also mirrors how I feel regarding how AI is impacting human willingness for creativity.

#
[KevinMarks] It's a great parallel take to Cory's recent reasoned objections to AI talk https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/pop-that-bubble/#u-washington

GWG Trying to pick a cheap domain for offloading my photos to. Anyone have a suggestion?
#
[tantek] how about photos.shanske? a subdomain is quite cheap!
#
GWG [tantek]: I'm using that for something already
#
aaronpk subdomain++
#
Loqi subdomain has 1 karma over the last year
#
GWG But the CDN I'm trying to offload wants to control the DNS, but can look for another one
#
aaronpk ah
#
GWG In this case, Cloudflare. I've never given them a shot before.
#
[tantek] GWG, I believe images.example or img.example are also what some have done
#
GWG I'll pay the $10 for an experiment.
ax562, jjuran, DanQ and bterry joined the channel
#
GWG Okay, have to wait for the new domain to propogate, but I tested the software. It is offloading all the images and should cost me a lot less because it isn't filling up the VPS storage. Yay.
#
GWG This may be too devvy, but I'm not getting into details. I just moved my images for space reasons.
#
GWG Or it will offload them, once it works

#
[morgan] Regarding my recent silo quit example from Linkedin, I want to update my personal website About Me page to have everything relevant that I would ever want to share to replace Linkedins resume hosting feature with. The website is gonna have a informal personal style but if someone wants information I want them to be able to get it from my personal website
#
gRegor Nice!
#
gRegor What is resume
#
Loqi A resumé or curriculum vitae (CV) is a document that represents a person's background and skills, commonly used to secure employment https://indieweb.org/resume
