[capjamesg] https://bennettfeely.com/ztext/ looks fun!

#
WinnerWind neat! wish it worked without js though
#
[Murray] actually, for once, I think this would be totally doable with CSS. The bit that would require JS is the duplication of the element, but I'm not sure that's needed if you use combinations of the CSS shadows
#
[Murray] it's nowhere near as advanced, but I've done something _sort of_ similar on my vinyl collection site, in the title: https://lp.theadhocracy.co.uk/the-cat-empire/bird-in-paradise
#
[Murray] with a bit of tweaking using CSS transforms, I think you could get a very similar effect; you might not be able to get the same level of animation control, but some of it should be possible as well
#
[capjamesg] This looks great!
#
[capjamesg] Heads up that at the page first looked something like this because I had the window narrower:

#
[capjamesg] *that the page
ZodiacalComet joined the channel
#
[Murray] Yeah, it looks fine on mobile and wider viewports, not great in the middle 😅 I should really do something about that, but its basically a site for me, so I don't worry about it too much
#
[Murray] ah, just trying to replicate this, narrow _and_ short. That explains why I've never really hit that. Yeah, I should probably rethink the whole "massive vinyl partially off screen thing", it causes a lot more headaches than its worth. I just really love making the dynamic track sizing visible 😂

#
WinnerWind oops! it seems my SSG broke in really subtle ways when i made it parallel. the issue is that some plugins depend on the contents of other files and because of this i had to introduce something called "deferring", where you can define a set of files to be done at the last. but then the issue is that because now everything is parallely done, deferred files aren't allowed to access the memory of other files which were done
#
WinnerWind before, which defeats the point
#
WinnerWind slightly disappointing. might make only some parts of it undeffered (i.e. only the plugins that do not depend on other files)
#
WinnerWind I think ive finally realized that there are times where multithreading makes sense and times where it doesn't. the test case i did which finished nearly 5 times faster only worked because doing what it was doing doesn't require knowledge of other files ...is this too technical for -dev?

#
jorisvandijk Classic Discord Art scam.
#
WinnerWind Added a cute progress bar to my SSG (the SSG moves too fast to capture it in a partial state) https://x0.at/E3VQ.png
#
[tantek] jorisvandijk yes that sounds familiar. deleting the links from Slack and Discord at least. probably should delete from archive too
#
[tantek] whoa that whole thing was posted as one giant Discord message
#
[tantek] alright, one spam and you're blocked per our policies
#
tantek.com banned them from the Discord
#
WinnerWind thanks!
#
doesnm <[tantek]> whoa that whole thing was posted as one giant Discord message <- in IRC it's many lines because libera don't have multiline (even if it was a thing my bouncer can't multiline too)
#
[tantek] right, and IRC->Slack was thus also multiple lines
#
[tantek] discuss << Example of Discord Art scam spam solicitation for work: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2026-07-06#t1783348066717600
#
Loqi ok, I added "Example of Discord Art scam spam solicitation for work: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2026-07-06#t1783348066717600" to the "See Also" section of /discuss https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=112057&oldid=112055
#
doesnm oh, you don't planned to delete it from logs?

#
[tantek] the text description is harmless enough to remain as a reminder of what that kind of spam looks like. by removing their link, the impact has been neutralized
#
[tantek] the entirety of it is gone from Discord already as it was a single message so I had to delete it all just to delete the link

#
felipebf hello, I am looking for some help about RSS feeds
#
felipebf my blog has 2 languages: https://felipebrasilblog.github.io/
#
felipebf portuguese and english
#
felipebf considering it would be more interesnting for the english speaking audience to receive a feed only in english
#
felipebf do you consider valid keeping 2 RSS files? one to all posts, and another one to English ?
#
felipebf I am starting now, my blog has 87 posts and 4 months. It would be great to configure this now than in the future
#
felipebf its a static HTML site. no php, no external host, I have it on githube sites
#
ZodiacalComet in my ignorant opinion, there is nothing to lose in having them as separate feeds (besides filesize, but is not like it will ever get TOO big)
#
felipebf Iĺl confire a new feed.Is there any problem creating a .xml called feed2.xml? If the RSS feed get my wite url it will grab both .xml if i put it in the root?
#
ZodiacalComet It is true that there is a common pattern in calling them "feed.xml", but if you have it marked with rel=alternate it is possible for it to be "discovered"
#
ZodiacalComet I learned of that in this post https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/automatically-discoverable-rss-feeds/ , if you want to give it a read
#
Loqi [preview] Making Your RSS Feeds Automatically Discoverable
#
felipebf thanks. Ill check this asap.
#
ZodiacalComet They also did an analysis in feed URLs ( https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/feed-urls/ ), showing what is most common
#
ZodiacalComet You're welcome!
#
Loqi [preview] An Analysis of Feed URLs
#
gRegor what is rel alternate?
#
Loqi rel=alternate is a way to indicate that a hyperlink links to an alternate representation of the current page https://indieweb.org/rel-alternate
#
ZodiacalComet felipebf sorry, as can be seen on the site ( https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/ ), there is a Sign In section.
#
gRegor huh, that page can definitely use the RSS example
#
felipebf oh thanks, I just found about this community yesterday, I am still trying to understand some things here
cotsuka joined the channel
#
felipebf sorry if Im noob
#
ZodiacalComet The easies is RelMeAuth, which is having links to an account with a third party (eg. Github) in the homepage
#
ZodiacalComet what is rel-me
#
Loqi Using rel=me on a hyperlink indicates that its destination represents the same person or entity as the current page, which is a key building-block of web-sign-in, IndieAuth, and ✅ distributed identity verification https://indieweb.org/rel%3D%22me%22
#
ZodiacalComet np! I also started not knowing anything a few months ago
#
felipebf and the h-card, how to I make one?
#
gRegor what is h-card?
#
Loqi h-card is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up people, organizations, and venues on web sites, and supersedes hCard https://indieweb.org/h-card
#
gRegor There's some examples on there. https://indiewebify.me is a good tool for checking your h-card as well.
#
gRegor Honestly best way to start is if you already have your name/nickname/pseudonym on your homepage somewhere, add the h-card markup there. If you have a photo, you can include that too.
