Gh pages are about 10 minutes to a site on your own domain following this https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site
#

Assuming you: have a GitHub account, know what "fork" means, know how to edit index.html, and can figure out how to point a custom domain to GitHub pages

Anybody using the Webmention/Semantic-Linkbacks plugin for Wordpress? I'm not getting the result I expected, but not sure if that's my expectations. Twitter likes and mentions only become avatars, and not readable sentences in my comment list. #indieweb

Re: GH Pages, I'm going to write up my experience with the IndieWeb 101 session and submit some tweaks to that blank gh repo.
#
gRegorLove
It appears you no longer do the "set the repo name to username.github.io" step.
#
gRegorLove
I'd never used GH pages before so it was an interesting learn while facilitating experience
#
gRegorLove
By about 45 minutes we both had a working github.io page, though. Didn't get to domain pointing there.
#
[tantek]
That sounds about right gRegorLove
#
[tantek]
I wonder if blank GH static site would be the kind of thing someone would make a YouTube "how to video" just to try to show how easy it supposedly is
#
jgmac1106[m]
GRegorLove and I am gonna have the gh-blank template project more fleshed out Glitch for people looking for visual editor, and place to cover background knowledge like "fork" and "pr" more a step by step tutorial
#
jgmac1106[m]
I do notice people break the h-card moving links in and out of the div... Not sure if best approach is to ignore for now or build best practice in from start

I am going to miss x-ray Goggles from Mozilla, my workflow used to be learn basic HTMl tags first hacking your way on to the local newspaper, and then remix an about me page
#
[jgmac1106]
Do wonder if the blank gh repo. should have a stylesheet in the repo, easier to jump into CSS basics without having to build the page and add the link for people...again not sure...will really try to leave next semester with a decent tutorial....Just fear tyranny of blank page....hard jump off point...especially if you know zero HTML

it uploads 2gb out of 3.4gb and says "There is a network problem"

maybe not amazon s3, but there is s3 in the hostname

Did someone use a signed longint somewhere in the video upload process?
#
[cleverdevil]
Hmm, [aaronpk], I believe that the max object size in S3 (per chunk) is 5 GB.
#
[cleverdevil]
You can make objects that are several TB in size as well using multipart upload.
#
aaronpk
Yeah and archive.org says there's no theoretical upload limit either
#
[cleverdevil]
Sounds like an archive.org issue.
#
aaronpk
they recommend 50gb and smaller
#
[cleverdevil]
Guessing that they have some sort of bug or intermittent issue.
#
aaronpk
but it was reliably crapping out at 2gb, two different files too

^ Those session facilitating sheets were a todo item from the Organizers meetup but probably didn't get done bc weren't a github issue
#
aaronpk
yuuuup
#
gRegorLove
If we do use wiki for tasks, maybe at least a subheading for each item instead of a long <ul>
#
aaronpk
i was thinking about this... so the contents of a github issue can act as a sort of wiki, since it can be edited. it also supports checkboxes that you can tick off withouot clicking edit
#
aaronpk
i'm going to experiment with creating a primary issue to act as the catch-all for fuzzy stuff before it turns into concrete action items, and as things become action items assignable to individual people that's a good chance to break them out into a new issue

Ooh right before View Source... I might be able to go!
#
[tantek]
[gRegorLove] I like the headings idea. We’ve done that for collecting ideas / essays for /Organizers and honestly I think that works A LOT better than Gh issues would. Easy to copy paste to etherpad, expand inline instead of creating dozens more issues, then copy the conclusion back to the wiki
#
[tantek]
That’s the other part I greatly dislike about GH, the history / historical record is out of sight out of mind
#
[tantek]
Nothing on GitHub will show up as prior art / discussions when anyone searches the wiki
#
[tantek]
And asking people to go search a particular GH repo is too much ask, no one will bother
#
[tantek]
Wiki also has much better SEO than GH issues
#
[tantek]
Again for rediscoverability, search etc
#
[tantek]
For “normal” well defined well known tasks, something like the GH checkboxes could be A LOT more efficient
#
[tantek]
And easier to tell what’s done / not done
#
[tantek]
So I’m still leaning towards some sort of hybrid approach

GWG: Were there etherpad notes for indiewebify your wordpress on day 2?
djmoch joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i think partly because of the nature of some of the sessions, but also because of the way the cameras werepositioned
#
GWG
I only saw one person taking notes, and I don't think he was taking them in an etherpad, so no
#
aaronpk
the first and last sessions were more like work/interactive, so they don't make good recordings
#
aaronpk
the camera for the other two should have been at the back of the room so you can see the main seating area as well as the person at the microphone, but they aren't set up that way
