per-page CSS for a blog: what could possibly go wrong? ๐Ÿ˜„
#
[tantek]
We have some examples!

I like to add CSS per directory with server HTTP headers per nginx location. "Link: <//superkuh.com/header.css>; REL=stylesheet"
#

Uncool browsers like chrome don't support it but Firefox still does.

ahahaha, man. i keep a VPS around for an old wordpress site and the disk filled up. my first thought is some shenanigans with the site, massive uploads or DB issues. or logs from attacks. nope, it's 12.2GB of old unused linux headers and modules packages waiting for an `apt autoremove` ๐Ÿ™„
#
Loqi
nice
#
[mattl]2
How big is /var/log?
#
[schmarty]
I signed out without noting it specifically. Low three-digit megabytes I think
#
[mattl]2
Oh good. That plus the autoremove stuff always seems to fill up my VPS
#
[tantek]
^ these stories always make me grateful for not adminning my own linux server
#
[tantek]
so what you're saying is that apt is a hoarder
#
[mattl]2
I want to write a guide for running your own server for the wiki
#
aaronpk
what is a VPS?
#
Loqi
A Virtual Private Server (AKA VPS) is a level of webhosting service where you get root access to a virtual system and can install whatever you want https://indieweb.org/VPS
#
aaronpk
wow that's a stub
#
pcarrier
it's also kind of not what it is
#
[schmarty]
i once looked up why these kernel-related packages stick around but don't recall the details. i just took away "well, i'd better remember to run `autoremove` regularly". (i didn't remember)
#
aaronpk
added indieweb examples as a start

hi, what are you guys working on? Is this channel related in any way to indiehackers and buildinpublic communities?
#
capjamesg[d]
Not really. We're more focused on building things that make the web a better place. In this specific channel, you'll find technical discussions to that end. The primary motivation behind this community is owning your own data and making a place for yourself on the website, and helping others do the same.
#
capjamesg[d]
While some people do work on commercial tools here, most people are making things for fun!

what is indieweb?
#
Loqi
The IndieWeb is a community of independent & personal websites connected by simple standards, based on the principles of: owning your domain & using it as your primary identity, publishing on your own site (optionally syndicating elsewhere), and owning your data https://indieweb.org/indieweb
#
andreic
got it, thanks for clarifying, glad to be here as I am just setting up my personal blog on a Hetzner machine. I'm an infrastructure guy, looking to publish OS programming and distributed systems related articles based on my own researches.

andreic Welcome!
#
capjamesg[d]
I would love to read anything you write about distributed systems!
#
capjamesg[d]
I have been learning a bit about it recently.

On that fragile JS thread, I donโ€™t agree with the author. Deferring the handling of an exception is a bad idea. The `.catch(e => e)` thing is just hiding the bad idea from Node.

what is multisite?
#
Loqi
Multi-site Indieweb is a hybrid approach to Indieweb in which a wide range of people have two (or more) indieweb enabled platforms for a multitude of reasons https://indieweb.org/multisite
#
[snarfed]
"wide range" "two (or more)" "multitude"
#
[snarfed]
...so you're saying it's...more than one
#
jimw
Maybe it should be simplified: Multi-site IndieWeb is an approach to IndieWeb in which multiple people have multiple IndieWeb-enabled platforms for multiple reasons.
