hm, I though the point was to highlight retro designs - i haven't heard them called nostalgic designs?
#
[chrisbergr]1
retro web design, vintage web design, nostalgic web design is often used synonymously. And what is usually meant is that websites have a theme that looks like a certain era. But what is meant here most, I would rather call 90s web design
#
[chrisbergr]1
There is also some overlap with brutalist web design
#

what are 1990s
#
Loqi
The 1990s was a decade that saw the invention and growth of the web, dominated by independent websites, as well as nascent silos like Geocities, with a particular aesthetic that would come to define the era like under construction graphics, dancing animals, site counters, and guest books https://indieweb.org/1990s

Bringing this over from -chat I use checkins usually only when I'm on a trip and want to be able to generate a trip log later. Sometimes I do take pictures, but don't always have time or mobile bandwidth (due my cell plan) to upload at the time I take it and sometimes add it later. Looking for better workflow ideas.
#
GWG
angelo had suggested an app might suggest photos taken recently for me
#
angelo
you said in chat you "press the button to map the trip".. when and how do you do that?
#
GWG
For now, I use Swarm to select the venue and it stores it as a post on my site. Then I can use my auto static map generator
#
GWG
And I keep adding progressive enhancements
#
GWG
Like this is the whole week
#
GWG
I should do hourly ranges
#
Loqi
it is probable
#
angelo
so you're standing in Diagon Alley and you use the swarm app to select from a couple of suggestions, it posts to swarmapp.com and is backfed to your site?
#
GWG
It's a stopgap measure, but currently yes
#
GWG
Someday I'll start my own venue selection
#
GWG
I wonder if that's a conversation worth having again... people's checkin flows
#
[chrisbergr]1
You wouldn't believe what my checkin flow looks like. Swarm checkin when leaving the car -> take a few pictures from the outside -> more pictures from the inside during the stay -> on the way back add selected pictures to the swarm checkin -> at home in WP Admin delete the automatic comments and the post -> go to ownyourswarm and manually bring the checkin back to my site -> in WP Admin open the post, add the pictures as a
#
[chrisbergr]1
gallery, add categories and tags, update.
#
GWG
Seems like it would distract from the experience
#
[chrisbergr]1
It is okay, just doing little when outside. At home the cleanup is terrible
#
[chrisbergr]1
Because of polylang. The autopost via micropub does not contain any language information. And posts without language do have a lot of problems in my setup
#
GWG
I have a whole list of things I'd like to add to make it easier on me
#
angelo
so it sounds like there needs to be a checkin app to be able to click "Edit"; it loads your checkin /and/ the photos from your ME based upon either timestamp or gps for you to select and send the MP-update
#
angelo
you can still use your swarm app to initiate the flow as the venue selection may benefit from such centralization
#
GWG
Or use the Foursquare API but not Swarm
#
angelo
and you still have to have all of your photos auto-upload..
#
GWG
Yes

I click Lication in WithKnown and adjust the name of the place, if necessary. That’s it.
#
[jeremycherfas]
Or Location.
#
GWG
Well, working on it

What is the best practice on deploying static sites on a server?
#
capjamesg[d]
My site and static generator are now on a cloud server. My Micropub server relies on Git to add files to my site.
#
capjamesg[d]
Is a Git hook the best way to sync up the website? Or should I just remove Git altogether?
#
capjamesg[d]
I am mostly thinking out loud here. I haven't made a decision.
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty]
capjamesg[d]: i've got a split deployment process, all built around git, but not using git hooks directly.
#
[schmarty]
my micropub endpoint creates git commits and pushes them to a repo on my gitlab server. gitlab sends a message to my publisher which is listening on a webhook.
#
[schmarty]
the publisher does any pre-build work like fetching reply-contexts, builds and publishes the site, figures out which pages actually changed, sends out webmentions and websub pings.
#
capjamesg[d]
Is your publisher a server you own?
#
[schmarty]
the micropub endpoint and publisher live on the same little digitalocean server, yep.
#
capjamesg[d]
Got it. Do you have a separate server to listen for the webhook ping or is that part of your micropub endpoint?
#
[schmarty]
the publisher has two parts - a daemon that is waiting for jobs, and the webhook which creates a job when pinged.

capjamesg[d] one option is to have a CI server (i.e. GitLab CI/GitHub actions) that can trigger on pushes to your main branch and then copy over files via SSH

I have passwordless login enabled on my DreamHost server. Is there any obvious reason why a command given directly in the Terminal works just fine, while the exact same command given as part of a cron job fails with a (publickey,password) error?

jamietanna Are there any good GitHub Actions tutorials?

Sorry not that I can refer you to, I'm a GitLab person 😁

for being so helpful!

jeremycherfas: PATH. Back when I used DreamHost I found that theis servers are set up so that PATH in not the same in interactive and non-interactive shells.
#
nekr0z
capjamesg[d]: I use git hooks for deployment to my VPS.
#
capjamesg[d]
Any good guides nekr0z? I am having trouble getting my head around them.
#
capjamesg[d]
I think I am going to use Git so I can keep track of my site history.
#
capjamesg[d]
jamietanna Actions are on my mind too.

capjamesg[d]: not really. I host my site in a private repo in gitolite running on a Pi3B in my cupboard (no to have private and deleted posts in a publicly accessible git repo, right?), so I simply read the gitolite manual regarding the hooks, it was really straightforward.
#
jeremycherfas
!tell nekr0z Really? I better look into that. Thanks.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
nekr0z
That's ok, Loqi, I'm here

nekr0z: jeremycherfas left you a message 1 minute ago: Really? I better look into that. Thanks.
