[tantek]1 is this yakshaving? or is there a different term for this kind of wasting time futzing with basic setup stuff instead of getting to the thing you want to do?

@neurobashing goal: try to get a roughly working Micropub server (https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/) running Outcome: I spent most of the day fucking with VMs, networking, and tooling, because nothing actually fucking works any more (twitter.com/_/status/1464367566990815238)

[aciccarello] After all the tags page discussion, it was a good prompt to get my tags page sorted by most used.

capjamesg[d] I'm not going to add this to the wiki because it should only be available for RSS subscribers but: https://daverupert.com/2021/11/nfts-are-sucking-the-air-out-of-everything/

KartikPrabhu but it has a URL so fair game to link to it
[snarfed] joined the channel
# [snarfed] https://indieweb.org/capability_URL s would disagree 😁
# KartikPrabhu you can still link to them; you won't get anything useful
# KartikPrabhu it just says "hard to guess" but once I have one of them I can link to it
# KartikPrabhu sure
# KartikPrabhu "should not" is not the same as "can not"
# KartikPrabhu anywho semantics
# KartikPrabhu anyway capjamesg[d] already linked to the said link under question here on the chat. SO it is already linked to from the logs
# KartikPrabhu so why not add to the wiki
# KartikPrabhu yes, it is fair game since it is already linked from IRC and the logs
# KartikPrabhu sure. but I have it now, so that horse has left the barn
# KartikPrabhu and it can be found in the logs
# KartikPrabhu I think the intent more of a "subscriber only" content rather than "RSS only" content
# KartikPrabhu but the HTML page does not really have any access control so <shrug>
# KartikPrabhu craig mod does something like this too
# KartikPrabhu but I guess I shouldn't link to it :P
# KartikPrabhu that is a whole another level of /discovery issue
# KartikPrabhu if no one talks about it how does anyone find it
# KartikPrabhu probably by noticing the black eye you have the next day at work
# KartikPrabhu sknebel: not sure. but Ed Norton and Brad Pitt might come looking for you
# capjamesg[d] [snarfed] I followed those rules 🙂
# capjamesg[d] I didn't talk about the club, share it on social media, and I provided value 🙂
# capjamesg[d] KartikPrabhu but so too can the link be found in anyone who looks at the feed he publishes.
# KartikPrabhu yes
# capjamesg[d] There's also no "noindex" directive so any search engine could index it.
# capjamesg[d] And might because it's in a feed.
# capjamesg[d] We are definitely thinking about it too much.
# capjamesg[d] With that said, I do think that perhaps I should not have shared the resource, since its audience is intended to be private.
# capjamesg[d] Although the article in question is also linked to from the RSS club page, ergo available to anyone.
# capjamesg[d] (so perhaps the privacy argument doesn't hold up)

# KartikPrabhu that^ is what I was saying
# capjamesg[d] In any case, if this were a private URL (in the sense that I had specifically been granted access to it), I would not have shared it here.
ranuzz joined the channel
# capjamesg[d] Maybe we need a "concerns" and "pros" section on the /capability_url page?

# 
[jeremycherfas] That business of futzing with basic stuff that is in some sense essential to getting other stuff done is very definitely not yak shaving as far as I am concerned. It too more than a week (not full time) to get my new computer doing what the old one did.
# [jeremycherfas] My choice to migrate by hand, but still.

[dmitshur] So, I’m getting excitingly close to having a simple but—for the first time—functional custom code review system on my personal site. Progress shot: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1924134/143783239-83a66c00-7aee-472c-95a4-8cc4289c3dfe.png.
# capjamesg[d] Oh wow!
# capjamesg[d] How do you do the diffs?
# [dmitshur] My change API has a `GetDiff` endpoint that returns a raw patch in bytes (this is still a WIP and may evolve further). The frontend parses it line-by-line and renders it with diff highlighting.
# [dmitshur] The backend produces the patch via a simple `git diff`.

[KevinMarks] So this RSS club is danah's "they weren't talking to you" principle?
