# lerbb Hey, does anyone know why I'm seeing this error @ scan.fyi? The verification tag is in my head
# lerbb jorisvandijk[d]: I'd recommend Helium browser (based on Chromium, like Brave), if you're looking for recommendations...
# jorisvandijk Cooper[d]: Thanks for the reccomendation. I have tried Helium. It wasn't bad to be honest. It's Chrome-based, which I don't like. The whole Google thing. And I know, I know, Firefox is Google sponsored. I'm ignoring that part. It's my bubble, and I'll live in it! 😉
# lerbb jorisvandijk[d]: Of course, I have no experience with Firefox. I don't like it at all haha
# jorisvandijk I like how we all pick and like different things
cotsuka joined the channel
# lerbb I've tried using Firefox (I used Librewolf because I hate how Firefox shoves so much shit down your throat) and it was alright but I'm just used to Chrome.
# jorisvandijk Unrelated, but I was wondering. Is self-promotion allowed? I did a thing I really enjoyed and felt like sharing. I went on the Wayback Machine and looked at all the snapshots of my domain over the last 29 (!) years!
# jorisvandijk Cooper[d]: I fully agree with you regarding the shit down your throat thing. It's one of the reasons I left Firefox proper
# [capjamesg] Sharing your own personal websites is definitely encouraged here.
# jorisvandijk [capjamesg]: Cool. Thanks!
# [capjamesg] Also, just a heads up for everyone that this channel is not for general technology rants. Please see https://indieweb.org/community_guidelines#Avoid_Technology_Rants. We are trying our best to make the IndieWeb a positive space where people feel invited to imagine how to make a better web.
# [capjamesg] jorisvandijk Very cool! That must have taken a lot of work to put together and write up!
# jorisvandijk [capjamesg]: It did, but it was worth it. Trip down memory lane
# [capjamesg] The logo in the 2011 is really nice!
# [capjamesg] *2011 version
# jorisvandijk Thank you ❤️

# [capjamesg] Yay! Feel free to share what you write here when it’s published.
# [capjamesg] I might do the same with my guitar too.

# danielepstein Hi! I just heard about this on a radio show and thought it seemed cool - my name is Daniel, I'm about to graduate from Drexel University with a BS in CS and then i'm off to work at Susquehanna International Group. In my free time I love building fun web projects, my biggest one is https://www.thetriangle.org but my most fun one is my work in progress personal website: https://danielepstein.netlify.app
# danielepstein Block by Block: https://wppm.phillycam.org/programs/block-by-block
# [capjamesg] Wow that’s so cool!
# [capjamesg] Welcome danielepstein!
# [capjamesg] I love the design of your website 😄
# danielepstein thank you! I have a plan for mobile but i do NOT enjoy writing media queries so it will take some time
# danielepstein but i love putting drag and drop on a website so this seemed like a fun theme

# [Zephyr] oh wonderful, hi danielepstein! i got interviewed for that bit, glad you found us!
# [Zephyr] we'd love to have you at the philly homebrew website club meetup if you're around on a first sunday -- next one's june 7 https://events.indieweb.org/2026/06/homebrew-website-club-philadelphia-qkUloN8cICrG

# [morgan] This makes me want to visit Philadelphia, cool interview!
# [Zephyr] thanks y'all!!
# [capjamesg] Listening now. This is terrific!
# [Zephyr] it's a great town, some would say the greatest city in the world B^)
# [morgan] It has such a vibrant opening and the selections of the topics make us seem cool being amongst it, its definitely a different vibe than a lot of tech specific stuff
# [Zephyr] i shall set up a post! ty for the nudge
# [capjamesg] Philadelphia is a wonderful place!
# [Zephyr] hmmmm i have had this inquiry before, and a group that'd be willing to help! gotta double check with them but perhaps we can get the ball rolling soon
# [Zephyr] aw thanks morgan++
# [Zephyr] and capjamesmsg++
# [Zephyr] oops capjamesg++
# [capjamesg] I love the optimistic chord that the interview strikes.
# [Zephyr] yeah block by block is really great, learned about a lot of cool local projects and people through them
# [capjamesg] Yeah I am really curious about the Yemeni-style coffee shop they are going to talk about later in the episode 😄
# [Zephyr] oh for sure! definitely want to check that out too

# danielepstein [Zephyr]: my girlfriend is one of the narrators for this week and she covered the philadelphia goat project at the end -- but this seemed super cool and I wanted to get involved
# [Zephyr] oh yeah! she did a great job!
# [morgan] Just to cap off my ethusiasm, [Zephyr] I gave $7 to Philly Cam. This is well produced radio
# danielepstein [capjamesg]: I actually live across the street from that coffee shop (and I'm friends with the girl that covered that one too) its really good from what I've heard (I don't drink coffee)
# [Zephyr] i was unaware of that until this episode, sounds like they're doing great work!
# [capjamesg] Pistachio and date lattes?? Wow!
# [Zephyr] aw fantastic!! what a legend, ty for supporting a great LPFM station and philadelphia institution morgan++
# danielepstein [Zephyr]: I can't make it to this particular one but would love to come in the future!
# [Zephyr] heck yeah, lookin forward to having you! next one after this is 7/5 (or any first sunday really, but i'll update http://zephnet.biz and http://iffybooks.net if there's any rescheduling)
# [Zephyr] i think we chatted briefly a little while ago, but hello again! (ty for the nudge tantek!)
