#[tantek]turns out it was a utility function bug in cassis so that's an even better fix!
#[tantek]this kind of thing definitely makes me hesitate from posting. I always find new bugs when posting then feel compelled to fix them immediately before I can actually be "done" with posting.

#[fluffy]the best way to find a bug in software is to cut and announce a release

#[tantek]for me it's to try writing and publishing a post. like 50% of the time 😭

#jackytbh if Webmention forges (this is what I'm calling a service that allows one to hold and list Webmentions like webmention.io) could provide a uniform-ish way to collect like "a fixed feed", that could be fed into a generic "comment" component or something

#aaronpkThat's why I added the "jf2" format to webmention.io so at least its JSON format would be somewhat standardized so others could support it too
#aaronpkI need to update the docs to make that one the default tho.
#aaronpkI can't change the actual default cause it'd break people's stuff but I can at least make sure new projects use the new format by burying the old one
#jackyfor those who have non-"static" sites, do y'all have like a single binary for your site or is it mainly the conventional approach?
#jackyI just saw something re: elixir and binaries and it got me curious (like if I could work on my site, deploy + build and let it ping and self update)
#jackythat said, I do want to have something like that
#jackythis is a halloween with no fanfare so I might as well spend it on something I don't mind doing lol
#sknebelnone of the ecosystems I use particularly lend themselves to truly single binary (i.e. its more work than the common model)
#jackyit only seems "viable" in the desktop world for self updating applications
#sknebelfor my own code I tend to keep things together, i.e. I don't split config/code/data all across the filesystem like a "properly packaged" app would
#jackylike (this is very Debian-y) putting cache stuff in /var/cache or $XDG_CACHE_DIR
#jackywhen I was at Shutterstock, we built Debian packages for the apps and had a cron job that pinged the internal system every minute for new changes
#sknebel(i.e. my website is pretty much one folder except the bits that come from system packages (nginx), nginx config)
#sknebelnow if you want to do something to ship to others, its a bit more tricky. bundling reduces the integration effort with the rest of the system, but means more for you to update
#sknebeli.e. see Gitlab that comes with some monster updater thing, or software that gets shipped as virtual machine images

#sknebele.g. I see why there shipping a simple go webserver instead of packaging nginx or apache is preferred because its one piece you just rebuild and ship a replacement
#jamietannaJacky I'm thinking about whether I convert my static site to a dynamic site (to cut down on wait times for publishing new content) which I'd do as a self-contained Spring Boot JAR file if that helps
#sknebel(or in the VM case you take over the entire VM and use traditional system management tools)
#jackyjamietanna: is it possible to do some sort of a hybrid?
#jackylike tbh, in order to 'speed' up my site, I'm thinking about having some sort of 'holder' page as my site does the grinding of a entry (resolving media, updating tags, etc)
#jamietannajacky what are you thinking hybrid wise?
#petermolnar> if I were to bring my own http server - /me needs to get WordPress running on his phone again
#jackytbh I was considering spitting out the core parts of my site to static files and rendering that
#jackygranted, I think I'm entering the land of overengineering now lol
#jamietannamy plan would be that I have the Java app responding to HTTP requests for my site's currently static content, reading the required files from GitLab (as my backend datastore) and rendering them as HTML for the consumer
#jackylike even just having a Docker image (I think) is fine
#jackyand Koype doesn't need too much if I do it in a release build
#[grantcodes]I rarely see self hosted software as a single binary. Docker or package install seems way more common to me
#sknebelthought so. which is why I put all the caveats into my response ;) cause what we are comfortable with doing by hand is not the best elsewhere. so question also becomes "what users" :D
