[0x3b0b] Current++ sounds like it has some interesting ideas. But it's not available on a platform I'd use and I don't think it'd be for me anyway; some of its deliberate decisions are things I can't imagine wanting.

corrideat1 was wondering how authentication ought to with multilingual sites such as my own
#
corrideat1 M site is structured with /??/ prefix paths for locale/clulture, and many pages are deeemed 'altenrnative'versions of each other

#
corrideat1 The main conundrum using lang negotiation at three the root, so en speakes get 303 redirected to /en, es speakers to /es/, etc.
failxontour and hughrawlinson joined the channel
#
corrideat1 Since the domain is the same, how can I use, e.g., IndieLogin.com to accept and recognize I'm logging in for the root and not a sub-path, like /en or /es?
#
Loqi hey corrideat1: it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev (root)

#
corrideat1 Point, taken, @Loqui
#
aaronpk corrideat1: there are specific rules for following redirects with IndieAuth, but can follow up in #indieweb-dev

#
[simonbc] Hey! I recently decided to completely relaunch Jottit at https://jottit.pub, pivoting from wiki-style editing to a minimalist blogging platform focused on self-owned publishing. My own blog is at http://simonbc.com.
#
[simonbc] It's been an intense week of shipping, the paint is still very fresh. But I've just finished microformats (h-feed, h-entry, h-card, rel=me) and IndieAuth, Micropub and Webmentions are next on the roadmap. Would love any feedback on the microformats implementation and the app in general.

#
CrowderSoup Check out https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started and https://32bit.cafe/cyowebsite/ as good places to get started!
#
[artlung]2 Also - you probably already started looking at https://indieweb.org - the page about "discovery" has a fair number of links I bet you'd appreciate https://indieweb.org/discovery

Guest6453 I appreciate it stranger!

[Schepp] joined the channel
#
[tantek] do we have a term for when a site puts up a wall to "disable your ad blocker"? ad-wall?
#
[tantek] or rather, is there a term for that practice
#
[tantek] e.g. just encountered that on Emojipedia https://emojipedia.org/information which seems like a new behavior (haven't seen that there before, appears they were acquired by an adware iOS app "Emojipedia is brought to you by Zedge, the world's #1 phone personalization app")
#
lars_the_bear I've seen then referred to as "anti ad-block walls". I just call them "sites I don't visit" :)

#
to2ds I think the cookie dialogs are worse.
failxontour joined the channel
#
[tantek] at least you can navigate through the cookie banners. these are actual walls that block access!
#
[tantek] there also the "soft" walls where you have to find the tiny link that says "continue to site" or "don't support us and view anyway" etc.
failxontour joined the channel
#
to2ds True. Though some of those cookie dialogs almost required an advanced degree to navigate.
#
[tantek] wondering when a cookie banner will start with the Zork prompt 😆
#
[Jo] at least ill get to play zork then!
