snarfed hey ben_thatmustbeme, do you remember much about the work you did adding mf2 to mastodon? https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/965
# mifga_ so.... inspired by Indieweb Camp NYC yesterday, I'm going to setup a github page. I claimed one at mifga.github.io and want sort out how that works. forgive me if I ask a few questions today as I do so. (I'll try not to pester too much)

# mifga so.... it appears i setup a github page for my account a while ago with pelican, pushed a single flat html page, and never did anything more with it (such as tracking the actual site generating pages in a dev branch of similar).
# mifga i used homebrew to install hugo, so that will be my quest for today....
# mifga frees himself from weeds and starts thinking about what he can put together to allow a publish action today ....
# mifga here's a bit of a dumb question (ie there probably isn't an answer) -- do you all recommend setting up a specific project vs a portfolio/about me site as a first indieweb project? I need the latter, but I am more interested in making the former. any advice appreciated!
# mifga well, like making a site that does one specific thing and explores one specific topic instead of a general purpose "here's all of me" site.
# mifga if that is still vague, it is because i'm definitely still trying to keep out of the weeds, and could basically use any recommended vector to get going in a direction to find my sea-legs again. :)

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "multi-site" yet. Would you like to create it?

# mifga nice!
# mifga thanks for that!

@MaximeEuziere So today I wondered what's the maximum amount of UTF-8 bytes I could include in a #280characters tweet, not counting mentions or attachments. Current conclusion: seven 4096-char URLs + three 1362-char URLs + ten 3b ideographic spaces + forty 4b emoji = 32948b! Can you beat that? https://twitter.com/MaximeEuziere/status/914520487451090944 (twitter.com/_/status/914521808266817536)

# mifga thanks for bringing the discussion here, sorry for the gaff
# mifga if I use the github pages "username" or "orgname" option, then the branch that has to house what is served is "master"
# mifga but I think that is the only real rule that locked
# mifga ah, that's a good idea
# mifga hmmm.
# mifga but I think the best practice in hugo is to kill the public folder from time to time, right?
# mifga oh, wait a minute, I'm seeing that folks will script and action that is more in keeping with git history and commits in that publish branch
# mifga (heh, same track there)
# mifga i think there might be project-level demos to check. i'll inspect.
# mifga so from this perspective, am I probably still wanting two repos, especially if I script to update and commit with a timestamp that local copy heading up to be served out as master branch for github pages?
# mifga or should I be starting over and installing hugo into another branch of my mifga.github.io repo. I gather the main issue is that hugo likes to have a subfolder for collecting sites it serves up so you can use the handy Hugo server .... I know these aren't exciting questions, but I am hoping to save time with advice that addresses what I will end up wanting once I get more familiar with hugo and github pages. :)
# mifga is there a hugo newbie channel I should query here?
# [kevinmarks] yes, that is better - run it interactively, then when you're happy render it
# [kevinmarks] you can have a github.io per project, so you can process into a folder in a different project
# mifga that is a good point
# mifga realizes he is in the weeds again and follows the advice to just setup hugo to start creating content for a site to publish!

# [kevinmarks] to get to demo it today, running hugo interactively is much better
# [kevinmarks] it renders all of http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/ in seconds, so with a mostly empty site it will be instant
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "MAMP" yet. Would you like to create it?
# sknebel aaronpk: re follow buttons, there was this (for login, but same principle should work) with iframes: http://indieweb.org/2016/Brighton/Demos#Sebastian_Lasse sebastian said there the site can not detect your identity (thanks to the iframe isolating it)
