ruecharli is it ok that i keep asking questions here ..? bc i have more lol
#
rMdes-bnc client_id - some people ask via github issues that it seems have not been replied, am I confused about this or this is really how it works? does it mean I have to self host my own indieauth server ?
#
rMdes-bnc Hmm what's up with indielogin.com ? I see there is a banner in the indieauth site https://indieauth.com/developers - Due to confusion around the name, this service is being deprecated, and will eventually be shut down. Please visit indieweb.org for more details, and indielogin.com for the replacement service. but it seems indielogin wants a

#
rMdes-bnc don't think indielogin can be a replacement without it automating onboarding of new sites
#
rMdes-bnc reverting back to indieauth for comments
#
[capjamesg] ruecharli Yes, it’s absolutely okay to ask as many questions as you want!
#
[capjamesg] We’re here to help!

[burgeonlab] ruecharli: Ask away! If your layout doesn't allow enough space to display the comments others left you, maybe use a graphical element or something fun/visual to indicate that their comments are received? Or only show it on click or hover? Just some random ideas I had, hope you work something out!
#
ruecharli thank you ! and yes, i will do something like that
#
ruecharli i am having an issue - my site is entirely pixel art. i was able to disable anti aliasing, but now when i zoom out, pixels look very wrong. is there some way i could have anti aliasing work based on zoom, so i get smooth edges when zoomed out and crisp edges when zoomed in?
#
ruecharli pixels look wrong zoomed out because of resolution, so i get some larger and some smaller pixels
#
ruecharli maybe i need to scale up my images so each pixel is made up of more pixels?
#
ruecharli but id rather a different option ...

#
[burgeonlab] ruecharli: I'm not that familiar with pixel art, but I made some 88x31 buttons before and these css rules helped:
#
[burgeonlab] `image-rendering: auto; image-rendering: crisp-edges; image-rendering: pixelated; image-rendering: -webkit-optimize-contrast;`maybe it can fix your issue?

rMdes-bnc aaronpk[d] : is there any path to have one's own domain added on indielogin allowed client list ?

#
[aciccarello] Should be able to open a gh issue for that

#
aaronpk i really need to make that self serve. i think i am on board with other people using it, tho right now it's only used by indieweb tools
#
rMdes-bnc I have seen the issue, but since some had no updates of the request I didnt want to pile up more of the same, I had no feedback issues for new allowed clients were being processed
#
rMdes-bnc self-serve would be really cool
#
rMdes-bnc I can try to open a PR with my DGX Spark local AI Qwen model if there is interest
#
aaronpk man i want that setup lol
#
rMdes-bnc 5 to 6k "only" 😅
#
rMdes-bnc I had my comment plugin switched to indielogin after seeing that IndieAuth banner on the developer page but then I hit the client Id wall and reverted back to IndieAuth
#
rMdes-bnc It's been fun to port my indiekit fork fixes to indiekit origin, one by one, each of these have been tested in the wilde using my fork in self dog food mode but now I want them upstream so I can dismantle my fork and inch closer to a native indiekit

[tantek] I am demoting "Known" on the /projects page because neither creator "uses what they make" any more (hasn't for a while), and it's unclear how many Known users remain here (and the #indieweb-known chat has been dead for a while — zero posts for over a month)
barnaby joined the channel
#
doesnm seems Known lost their popularity
#
[tantek] I am moving it to the "Get Inspired" subsection which seems like a more accurate way to describe Known's use today (see criteria in that section)
#
doesnm i know one folk who migrated from Known to Hugo
#
[tantek] is anyone here using Known for their primary site?
#
doesnm what is Known
#
Loqi Known is an open source publishing and community platform project https://indieweb.org/Known
#
[tantek] ^ probably lots out of date on that page too
#
[tantek] cleaning up the top of /projects a bit since it's showing up in the newsletter

[social] I turned off my Known instance a couple years ago.

#
[social] I used Known as a subdomain for quick links and IndieWeb responses, much like I use http://Micro.blog now.

[tantek] Might want to double check the /Known IndieWeb Examples and move yourself to a Past Examples subsection if you're there
#
[snarfed] great project, huge part of indieweb's history and development

[snarfed] 🫡
#
[tantek] It's not dead yet, it's just shrunk to a smaller set of folks. Anyone could step up and revitalize it if they wish. After all Wordpress started as a revitalization of b2
#
[snarfed] definitely! didn't mean to imply otherwise
