petermolnar I need advice on fonts: I was more or less happy with mere "Courier" on my site - on linux. Then I saw it in win7, and the phrase I'd apply is disgusting. Since then I started checking the current "default" monotype fonts, but I don't really like any of them. The question: ignore it, stick to font-family: "Courier", monospace or look into a webfont that I may like?

cweiske keep it
#
petermolnar aha: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/cour.ttf -> Courier_New.ttf
#
petermolnar that's cheating

#
Zegnat There are lots of Courier versions
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
Zegnat I used to default to Courier Prime, for the people that have it installed
#
[kevinmarks] Some decent open source monospaced fonts too
#
Zegnat Yeah. Fira comes to mind and may be worth adding to the Courier stack
#
[kevinmarks] This one showed up recently https://lunarsaloon.com/work/system-error/
#
Zegnat Also, petermolnar, pro tip if you need to match Courier, look for screen writing fonts. Those usually match Courier measurements, because that is the industry standard for 1-minute-1-page.

[Rose] I think I have my IWC projects: Bridgy support for Mastodon and Reddit profiles (syndicating to, and getting the data back). I may need a rescue party
#
GWG For when you get lost in the weeds?
#
[Rose] Yup
#
[Rose] And when I get lost in Python, I can Python, just not as well as PHP
#
[Rose] But I'll muddle through - it doesn't have to be amazing code, just solid code that works.
#
[Rose] (Java would be better, my MSc is starting up again next Wednesday, and I have to use Java for that)
#
Zegnat Port all the things to PHP?
#
[Rose] 😛
#
[Rose] You can do that with me in Utrecht!
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] [Zegnat] follow along my PHP adventures at #myfirstcms on my website.... All I wanted was a guestbook entry.... Now in way too deep

#
Zegnat Always fun to learn a new programming language, surely, [jgmac1106]!
#
snarfed [Rose]: re bridgy + mastodon, i assume you've looked at https://fed.brid.gy/ ?
iasai joined the channel
#
snarfed if you have, and you really do want syndication to mastodon instead of federation, i'm open to it, but i worry a bit about user confusion between the two (and with bridgy fed). open to thoughts!
#
[Rose] I do mean syndicate, I'm planning on starting with Reddit though.
#
[jgmac1106] [Rose] I may make LinkedIn Bridgy a May goal of others are working on Bridgy projects. Lot of me students ask about that
#
[jgmac1106] And it's my largest network and I do almost nothing there
#
[Rose] I think a discussion on syndicating vs Fed is a good idea, but as in the issue on Bridgy - lots of people have Mastodon accounts already on an instance.
#
snarfed [Rose]: sure! please do think about how to address the possible user confusion btw the two then
#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: last we looked at linkedin it seemed to require the business API, right? https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/166#issuecomment-471100786
#
Loqi [snarfed] so, bad news, probably. [you can get comments, likes, etc from LI's Shares API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/network-update-social-actions#retrieve-comments-on-shares) (LI posts are call...
#
snarfed [Rose]: reddit sounds great!
#
[jgmac1106] Yeah the new API token PITA too as you need new one every 30 days
#
[Rose] Also, if one is a pain in the neck I've got the non confusing one done 😉
#
[jgmac1106] Always the back up demo
#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: ah, you may know the API better than me. go for it! i don't mind expiring API tokens, facebook was the same way, and we handled that fine by just notifying users and making it easy for them to renew
#
[jgmac1106] I will fool around when I get a chance, haven't fixed syndicating from Known so will provide insight (if possible)

GWG https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/pull/136 - Let's see if this helps.

tomasparks I am creating a gallery section, I am use image file hashing to find my webmentions/bridgy links in my DB, do I use u-uid to make the id public?

#
[cleverdevil] [Rose] if you ever need an extra set of eyes on Python projects, I am more than happy to help! I have been writing Python since 1.4 days (starting in around 1996!)
#
[cleverdevil] I am fumble around in PHP, so I am sort of the mirror image of you 😄

#
[Rose] Thanks!

[grantcodes] [cleverdevil] new ip for alltogethernow.io is 159.69.108.225
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] On it!
#
[grantcodes] Oh very fast of you. Need to redo the ssl so it will probably be down a minute
#
[cleverdevil] DNS updated. It'll take a bit to propagate.
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Oh the only thing that would be useful about owning the github repo is I could set up auto deployment
snarfed, [asuh] and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] I think I can set that up either way, [grantcodes]... maybe I can just make you an owner...
#
[cleverdevil] sec
#
[cleverdevil] Hmm, nope.
#
[cleverdevil] Are you sure you can't set that up as a "collaborator"?

[grantcodes] I'll just message you the url if you can add it
#
[cleverdevil] OK
