osteophage stillawakeat3am[d]: highVoltage++ kudos for featuring Dreamwidth among the options at Quiet Portal! I was pleasantly surprised to see that there. Can you say more about how you chose things?

stillawakeat3am Hey
#
stillawakeat3am I just hunt around for stuff. It just feels harder and harder to find things
#
stillawakeat3am I can't remember where I found a lot of things, a lot has been living in my bookmarks for a while

#
stillawakeat3am I put it on alternative-to but I was so tired I wrote my own name instead of the website's name so it will be a little embarrassing if they don't let me correct it
#

[tantek]4 HWC Pacific has finished! Thanks all!
#
[tantek]4 more indieweb "wrapped" post thoughts — has anyone posted or seen someone post a "Wikipedia Edited" year in summary of their Wikipedia contributions, edits, pages created, photos uploaded etc.?
#
[tantek]4 thinking of doing that next
[Sophia_wood] joined the channel
#
[Sophia_wood] I saw this: https://www.not-ship.com/wikipedi/
#
[Sophia_wood] Not personal - but an interesting wrap of wiki.
#
[tantek]4 Wikipedia itself doesn't do one, yet all the data is public, so some enterprising open source dev could create something like this service that creates a Year in Review view: https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Tantek

ulhar4409 dang, yesterday i thought of registering pla.net but apparently it's. i'll say quietly being squatted
Ekul joined the channel
#
[tantek]4 three letter .com .net .org are almost all certainly taken for decades
#
ulhar4409 ripppp
#
ulhar4409 considering orbs-in.space as a potential alternative
ax562 joined the channel
#
ulhar4409 (slightly less endearing to me because using a member's name as a subdomain doesn't implicate it as an adjective, nor the same general scale)
#
ulhar4409 i also slightly dislike it being hyphenated. but... lol
#
[tantek]4 at least the hypen prevent it from being read as "orb sin space" 😆
#
ulhar4409 ~~Not that I think anyone in the group would mind, lmao~~
#
ulhar4409 Granted, prefixing the pla.net idea isn't unreasonable; say, fluffy-pla.net
Ekul joined the channel
#
[tantek]4 who is fluffy
#
Loqi https://indieweb.org/User:Beesbuzz.biz
#
ulhar4409 true
#
ulhar4409 fluffy(adj) isn't the only one that applies so
#
ulhar4409 soft creature have many angle...
#
ulhar4409 i had previously considered gargant.ua but i'd rather not use a cctld i think
jjo, DanQ, AcesAndEights8 and Ekul joined the channel
#
[tantek]4 that's fair. we have some criticisms of cctlds on the page
#
[tantek]4 what is a cctld
#
Loqi ccTLD is an abbreviation for country code top-level domain, a top-level-domain that is specific to a particular country, thus governed by its additional laws, and often more restrictive and/or fragile than non-country-specific domains; used by some in the IndieWeb community for short-domains https://indieweb.org/ccTLD
#
[tantek]4 different concerns for different cctlds
