[jgmac1106] One thing I wish was just having the one CSS file rather than the min version as well....I just don't think any performance boost is worth having the same sheet twice

#
[ketudb] Okay, thank you! I looked at a lot of building-my-own-theme stuff a while ago but I found it to be a far deeper endeavour than I wanted to jump into
#
[jgmac1106] honestly it seems a bit heavy for when people mainly want to switch color pallets and fonts
#
[jgmac1106] though I look a full width page from time to time
#
[jgmac1106] just remember..because I mess this up all the time...to not override your stylesheet..liek I do all the time

Gomez Hi, how you handle comments on your know install. My got flooded by spam. Need a other solution.
#
Gomez Some1 a idea?
[kevinmarks] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] just use webmentions turn off native comments or try the Aksimet plugin
#
Gomez oh there is a Aksimet plugin. Thanks i will try it.
#
[jgmac1106] turning off native comments works best unless you get a lot of them, I don't all my comments are webmentions
#
Jeremycherfas The problem with the Akismet plugin is that it lets through a lot of spam comments and has no dashboard for managing them. It blocks a lot too, but I still get between 0 and 5 most days. I delete them as quickly as I can.
#
Gomez Hmm, maybe better test webmentions. New to this, need to read about it first.

#
[kenbauer] I use the Akismet plugin and have not (yet) had a problem with spam. I am curious if it would be possible to build a plugin to interface with SpamAssassin. *musing*
#
mapkyca Possibly. Also, the akismet plugin could do with a management dashboard - PRs welcome for both!

[kenbauer] So with the "custom javascript" plugin, I added a footer to my site to show my CC-BY license as well as let people know that I'm not doing any tracking. Except those darn YouTube embedded videos create tracking. I can't seem to get the privacy-enhanced ones working well (could be my network?):

[jgmac1106] kenbauer move your videos to archive.org that is what I am doing

#
[ketudb] has anyone else had issues with common plugins & them not loading fontawesome icons?
#
[ketudb] I'm wondering if it's not loading the right version by default or similar.
#
[ketudb] I don't want to just rip out the old version of FA and replace it with a new one - because that'll break the rest of it (e.g. `fa fa-comments` needs to become `fas fa-comments` in the newer version of FA), but also it can't seem to find some of the other icons from the set (particularly the `fab` brands set, but also a couple others)

#
[cleverdevil] FWIW, I have proposed moving to fork-awesome [ketudb] - https://github.com/idno/known/issues/2358
#
[ketudb] that'd actually be pretty cool
#
[ketudb] unless -- hmmm, does anyone know if FA 5 is backwards compatible with FA 4.7?
#
Loqi unless has -1 karma over the last year

#
[kenbauer] Good idea for my own videos [jgmac1106] but I do still have hope to link to videos create by others elsewhere.
#
[ketudb] some digging says it's not backwards compatible... but that means they should overlay without breaking.

#
[ketudb] bah they do overlay but not as nicely as I
#
[ketudb] as I'd hoped *

#
[ketudb] found a hacky clean solution that doesn't require manually editing the theme! 🙄
#
[ketudb] I load `fork-awesome` on top of FA 4.7, essentially replacing it, then for the stuff that's using newer FA notation I use jQuery to replace some of the class names
#
[ketudb] (thanks [cleverdevil] for the `fork-awesome` suggestion)

#
[cleverdevil] Cool.
#
[cleverdevil] Would be worth updating that ticket with your experience!
