#
[Pierre_Carrier] what is .well-known
#
Loqi well-known is literally the path "/.well-known/" under a domain and used as a standardized (literally a "well-known") location for discovering domain-wide meta-data, and is generally avoided by IndieWeb-related specs, instead preferring follow your nose discovery techniques and methods https://indieweb.org/.well-known
#
[tantek] well-known-- and also for good measure conneg--
#
Loqi well-known has -2 karma in this channel over the last year (-4 in all channels)
#
Loqi conneg has -5 karma in this channel over the last year (-7 in all channels)
#
[Pierre_Carrier] Matrix uses it.
#
[tantek] yeah it was trendy in various "dweb" circles for a hot minute
#
[artlung] Given the fact ATproto based sites can use either a well-known path or a dns record, curious what the mix is of how people verify domains there. I use dns record, myself, for the accounts I have on bsky.

[Murray] Pretty big news for 11ty: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fontawesome/build-awesome?ref=b4hezh
#
[artlung] Intriguing

#
[aciccarello] Yeah, I saw that. I think its interesting considering 11ty's maintainer kept it independent even when he worked at Netlify. But the organization seems more aligned which is good.
#
[aciccarello] They put a lot of work into that video!

#
capjamesg [Murray]++ for sharing.
#
Loqi [Murray] has 4 karma in this channel over the last year (7 in all channels)
#
capjamesg That is an interesting move.
[Trevor_Morris] joined the channel
#
[Trevor_Morris] Yeah, not sure what that means for 11ty…
#
[Murray] Given Zach's past stewardship, I imagine that has been well thought through, but it's certainly an interesting move
#
[Murray] what is 11ty
#
Loqi Eleventy (abbreviated 11ty) is an open source JavaScript based static site generator that allows the user to select their own preferred template engine and theme, which in practice can and does enable use of microformats2 https://indieweb.org/11ty
#
[Murray] 11ty < https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fontawesome/build-awesome?ref=b4hezh
#
[Murray] woops, will try again => #indieweb-meta
#
[KevinMarks] They absorbed Shoelace as Web Awesome and employ Lea Verou so I think it's a good home for 11ty
#
[Trevor_Morris] It seems to all make sense. Fonts, components… now SSG "framework" to bring it all together. I remembered they did something to create the components (Web) Awesome project.

[Trevor_Morris] https://haptics.lochie.me/ this is cool.
#
capjamesg Ooh that is cool!
#
capjamesg I am surprised it works on iOS.
#
capjamesg It looks like they have a lot of code to emulate a haptic interaction if the device doesn't support the navigator vibrate API.

capjamesg spamt0n[d] You may appreciate https://indieweb.org/self_hosting
#
capjamesg [edit] spamt0n[d] You may appreciate https://indieweb.org/self_hosting
#
capjamesg I personally wouldn't host my website from a home server because of all of the networking configuration I would have to do, plus the real risk that the site gets spammed by AI crawlers and causes problems.
#
capjamesg I think you can use something like https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/ to mask your IP and route everything through Cloudflare while still using your own server to host, but I don't know anything more about that route.
#
spamt0n capjamesg[d]: hey thats actually what ive done :p
#
spamt0n I forgot to mention it because honestly I dont know a whole ton on the topic, and im still learning. I have family members in IT who helped me set up the website on my server, and one talked about setting up a cloudflared tunnel. Ill look more into it so I can set up another one, and ask that family member what they recommend.
#
capjamesg I would definitely recommend talking with people with experience doing this. I don't have any experience.
#
spamt0n ok! again, thanks so much!
