capjamesg[d] [Joe_Crawford] Are there best practices for adding images to articles like this:
# 
trinsic_paridiom I was wondering about some specifics If this is covered in the indiweb longevity article, let me know. My site is hosted on github using Netlify. It is an SSG site using Hugo. Im concerned about the longevity of the site because I have to renew the SSL certificate every year. Much of my content doesn't need to be behind SSL and if I die or become incapacitated, it like to have that content available. At one point I was t
# [Joe_Crawford] capjamesg[d] in a general sense words and pictures ought to augment each other in a layout - one colors and improves the other - and neither should interfere with the other. Elements in harmony. In the screenshot you posted I find myself thinking the crop on the photo itself should be tighter on its subject, the mug, and the space between the ragged left edge of the type and the image should be less distractingly close. Adequate
# [Joe_Crawford] negative space a designer might say.
# [Joe_Crawford] Web layouts have the additional need to be able to work depending on the viewport.
# [Joe_Crawford] Whereas paper magazines and books know precisely how much space they have to work within.

[aciccarello] I have a netlify site but I let netlify handle updating the certs
# [aciccarello] Yeah, I never had to do anything special when my site was on GitHub Pages either
# [aciccarello] The main times I've encountered issues with certs is when trying to access sites from a really old computer.

# trinsic_paridiom [aciccarello]: My certs are handled with the domain host Gandi. It looks like the changed ownership and appears to me they are going through an enshitification phase so I am looking to move my domain to another host. My understanding is you are supposed to run through a renewal for the SSL cert every year for custom domains. Are you saying you don't have to do that with Netlify? Im using the free version of Netlify so I

# [snarfed] doesnm: http://fed.brid.gy doesn't care how many segments are in your domain name, but it only supports top-level sites, ie based on their home page, not individual pages like that. https://fed.brid.gy/docs#web-get-started

# [snarfed] try the PDS admin Discord? https://discord.gg/UWS6FFdhMe
# [aciccarello] trinsic_paridiom, yes Netlify will generate certificates from Let's Encrypt for you. https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/https-ssl/#netlify-managed-certificates

[tantek] [snarfed] have you seen https://rknight.me/blog/webmentions-redux/ and curious what your thought are about it. It seems like it may have some misconceptions about webmentions and deletes and bridgy backfeed?
# [aciccarello] I've come to dislike "streak" features. The only one I keep up with is Duolingo.

Loqi Gamification is applying the principles of game design to other software - originally focused on usability, it has become a byword for dark patterns exploiting intermittent reinforcement and leader boards https://indieweb.org/Gamification
# [aciccarello] Duolingo has leaned into the meme
# [aciccarello] And there are streak freezes so missing a day doesn't have to matter too much.
# carrvo[d] Interesting, I did not know gamification had some bad rep with dark patterns and the like.
# carrvo[d] I still wish for a budgeting app that functioned like the old Rollercoaster Tycoon so I am probably for gamification.
# carrvo[d] When I clean up the mess of files on my computer!
# carrvo[d] Yes, definitely interested in combining principles from games. Already subscribe to a few YouTube channels that are insightful.

gRegor It wasn't set up for tracking streaks or gamifying, but my posting graph could be adapted to something like that: https://indieweb.org/posting_graph#gRegor_Morrill
# gRegor Other than /posting_graph?
# gRegor There's also /calendar_heatmap
