twistedtranssister Hello! Is this place where I can ask for some assistance with a known installation? The #known channel seems kinda empty 😭

# twistedtranssister capjamesg[d]: So I set up everything today (twice now as I wiped the whole cpanel and started over). Initial thing comes up to post a status and then a photo. I go to post a photo and this is what im met with:
# IWDiscord <twistedtranssister>
# twistedtranssister I set the uploads folder outside the public html as the guide said to do. I gave it and the data folder within the appropriate perms and its still throwing this error. I am running on cpanel for namecheap if that has any bearing. Also, when I did have it working (on a throw away domain I use for testing) I was able to post photos, but it wouldnt allow me to change my profile picture on my user account. Same on
# twistedtranssister Okay well slighty update. Found the issue with the path, had misses a character. So now I can upload photos, but still cant change my profile picture. I upload it, and it still defaults to the silhouette

# starrwulfe Sorry folks, was on R&R break for the past week. Resting my eyes and refocusing my mind (because my job stacked my comp days and basically told me to use 'em or lose 'em before 2Q.)

# starrwulfe Yep, I was testing something with iFrames but also trying to use the excerpt area to get indexed. The idea was that the iframe would be temporary while the backend sorted the text and any embeds into JSON that could then be ingested by the micropub service via a post update that would hit minutes later.
# starrwulfe> > [Snarfed] yeah it's a JSDR iframe
# IWDiscord <starrwulfe>
# starrwulfe All this because I abhor the Wordpress mobile posting experience. 🙄
# starrwulfe If I knew PHP better, I would totally write my own CMS or a better mobile back end that could do the stuff I want.
# IWDiscord <starrwulfe>
# starrwulfe> capjamesg: Ooh, I love the post layout.
# IWDiscord <starrwulfe>
# starrwulfe> You have no idea how much fumbling between my iPad, my 3 laptops, and my 60" TV I had to fiddle with the block CSS to get it to render well in all those viewports. Which is why I have sunken-cost syndrome now, yay! 🍻
# starrwulfe Anyhoo, since the post excerpt doesn't seem to present any searchable metadata, and I can't seem to automate with Craft at the moment, I guess back to the drawing board?

# starrwulfe The amount of shade Loqi throws me is a vibe at times.

gRegor [snarfed], What's the BF user page for these? I tried https://fed.brid.gy/web/fromjason.xyz from Jason's video on Mastodon but it says not found
# [snarfed] https://fed.brid.gy/web/nature.com is a working example
# starrwulfe What is this magic that I apparently missed out on?
# gRegor starrwulfe, https://snarfed.org/2024-01-09_51810
# starrwulfe Ahh. Yep, I missed that. That's pretty awesome. From RSS or scrape?
# starrwulfe BridgyFed++
# starrwulfe Just an awesome service built on simple HTML standards. Not sure how many clock cycles the servers are chewing through but I'll have to donate if snarfed ever starts asking.
# starrwulfe Of course I am all pins and needles for Bluesky support when they turn things on too. Been splitting my time equally between AP/Mastodon and Bluesky/ATProto. Will be interesting to see who builds the first "not bsky" ATProto instance and what it will be exactly.
# starrwulfe We're living in interesting times with this stuff for sure.
# starrwulfe They don't accept the \#nobot no crawl?
# gRegor Working towards it: https://github.com/gugray/rss-parrot/issues/28
