[artlung] Searching for that turns up a number of examples. It's all about the fidelity you want of the sizes of things. Many choices to make given the distances and size contrasts (sun vs jupiter vs earth vs, say, phobos). It's weirdly simple to create some orbiting figures. Just made one. https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/PwzNMjB

[KevinMarks]2 If you're gathering -examples for a roast microformat, you should look at Monmouth https://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/product/el-salvador-finca-malacara-a
# [KevinMarks]2 They do a lot of clever subtle things, like a different colour code per roast
# [artlung] I had not heard of this legal challenge. https://javascript.tm
# [tantek]4 I feel that's a thing that's been going on for a while

# solonovamax gRegor: on the webmention stuff from last night: the thing is, I want the replies to be shown on my site. if there's nothing other than bridgy fed that really does this, then I'll just deal with that, but if there is smth else then I'd like to use it. webmention.io looks interesting, but at that point I might as well just use webmentions directly and parse them myself.
# solonovamax although, there's also like a 50/50 I end up just implementing my own rudimentary fedi server, and do idk what for bluesky and delay finishing my website update by another year or two lol

burgeonlab It's nice to see coffee people here! I am really into home brewing / speciality coffee. I haven't updated this for a long time, but it's an interactive dashboard I created from a spreadsheet of all the coffees I brewed at home.
# burgeonlab my coffee content on Instagram.

# [tantek]4 coffee you consume, make, or grind?
vidak joined the channel
# burgeonlab yeah ;) it's all the coffee I bought and drink (whole beans) and I grind it for filter (pour over) usually, but sometimes manual espresso.

simpleauthority The micropub spec does not allow for uploading more than one image/video at a time, right? If a server encounters a multipart body which multiple file parts in it, should it reject the request or only take the first one and proceed as normal?

# [social]2 This morning’s early morning news of Tailwind layoff after losing 80% of their revenue vanished, has had me with quite a few questions on top of the questions I’ve had.
# 
[aciccarello] Wow, that's rough
# [aciccarello] I didn't realize they got so much revenue from docs
# 
[schmarty] there's still a "me sowing / me reaping" feel to this moment for tailwind
# [social]2 Tailwind is relatively small, it was 4 engineers, now one. But, their revenue comes from their “Tailwind Plus” plan with templates and subscriptions, plus sponsors. Most of Tailwind’s traffic was seemingly driven by users coming for documentation and learning more about what was offered and either getting a plus account or sponsoring Tailwind.
# [social]2 I don’t and haven’t used, it but have worked with a lot of companies that lean on it heavily.
# 
crowdersoup Wow, that's honestly wild for Tailwind. I'm not surprised either. They made a system that it turns out AI is really good at using so now no one needs to visit their docs
# [tantek]4 Also slopcoding is plenty fine at normal HTML+CSS so those folks don't need Tailwind either
# [tantek]4 Also TIL you can make money enough to hire people with a CSS framework?!? (At least for a brief period of time)

gRegor And the very second post was about longevity that we were discussing, heh: https://blog.archive.today/post/38139265209/what-will-happen-to-the-data-when-you-shut-the
# 
Loqi archive.ph (or archive.today, archive.is) is an archive service that stores text, images, and a screenshot of the page https://indieweb.org/archive.is
# gRegor ooh yikes, from wikipedia: "On October 30, 2025, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) subpoenaed Archive.today's domain registrar, Tucows. The subpoena stated its purpose is to identify the owner(s) of the archive.today domain name, and that it was part of a criminal investigation conducted by the FBI, the nature of which was not disclosed."
# gRegor archive.is << [[wikipedia:Archive.today]]
# Loqi ok, I added "[[wikipedia:Archive.today]]" to the "See Also" section of /archive.ph https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=107524&oldid=83807
# [tantek]4 wow
# [tantek]4 I am actually thinking of cranking my feed file delay from 10min to either 1-2h or maybe even 12hr
# [tantek]4 yeah why not
# [tantek]4 I have a global $feed_delay which is the integer number of seconds to delay putting a post in feed file(s). currently 600. new number is going to be 43200. math++
# [social]2 As a consumer of fine IndieWeb feeds, I’d encourage no more than 1. to 2 hours between posting and having your feed update. I consume via feeds, but also go directly to sites to read, and others post links to interesting links. A long delay between the post and the feed generation can invoke questions, like “did I read this already?“, “is this an edit?“…
# [tantek]4 How often do you check your feed reader [social]? and which reader do you use that doesn't (yet) support h-feed?
# [social]2 I check my feed reader once or twice a day. I use NetNewsWire, which seems to consume and deal with most everything I throw at it.
# [tantek]4 at least Monocle and Artemis do
# [tantek]4 [social] once or twice a day is fine for a 12hr delay. like exactly fine.
# [tantek]4 how often do you check your Masto/Bluesky?
# [tantek]4 and it's deployed. 12hr delay for Atom

# [social]2 What I’m saying is I often check sites directly or will see things mentioned and read it, but then a feed that lags will put it infront of me again many hours later.
# [tantek]4 My point is since you're already "only" checking your feed reader "once or twice a day", you're already seeing stuff in your feed reader hours after you checked sites directly

# btrem I'm hamstrung by the combination of Drupal and iCalendar. And while these days (as I've expressed here recently) I hate both, I think the real culprit is iCalendar. It is difficult to work with, which, it appears to me, makes it unappealing for devs to cater to it. If calendar apps read json feeds, it would be trivial to accomplish my goal.
# [KevinMarks]2 I thought basic auth was built into PHP
# [KevinMarks]2 https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
# [tantek]4 HTML scares many developers for some reason
# btrem gRegor: There's a module called Rest Export that exports a view into either json or php. There would still be hurdles to overcome, like what to do when two content types have different internal fields for the same event property (e.g., configuring `meeting_date` and `event_date_start` to both map to iCalendar's `DTSTART`).
