@Kerosyn_ the concept of indieweb + federation of a whole website is really neat to me even though I really have no use for it because I don't have friends that do wacky internet nonsense (twitter.com/_/status/1296612715629293570)

@ChrisAldrich ↩️ I've always wanted to build something as an IndieWeb as a Service on my way toward an IndieWeb friendly platform like one of the quick start options that are already out there. https://indieweb.org/Quick_Start https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_as_a_Service https://boffosocko.com/2020/08/20/55775395/ (twitter.com/_/status/1296667755937071110)

#
[tantek] per ndegruchy's blogpost about webmention and needing microformats, that seems like a good reason to explicitly list the common necessary microformats on spec.indieweb.org (thinking h-entry and h-card to start with)
#
Ruxton agrees

jacky what are netcasts
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "netcasts" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "netcasts is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Loqi Just generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2020-08-21.html
#
[tantek] still no HWC West photo — who was responsible for taking that? GWG do you remember?
#
GWG It wasn't me, though I did take one too
#
[tantek] was it Maxwell or Lahacker maybe?
#
[tantek] alright, I've uploaded a fallback in case no one else steps up
#
GWG I thought it was LAHacker, but not 100% sure
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
lahacker max posted one to his site and replied to the post with it
#
GWG I should have taken notes
#
Loqi definitely

@mlncn ↩️ So @indiewebcamp strives to make the rolling your own sustainable, a great welcoming community, for anyone willing to try. Setting up @discourse and @joinmastodon are also made as easy as possible, and the key is finding the technical people you do trust to run it. (twitter.com/_/status/1296917427381567490)
#
@mlncn ↩️ Ideally, however we talk to & post at one another, we cooperatively run any shared infrastructure we need, so we don't end up with a technocracy of any kind, and there's a whole movement to do cooperative platforms, @platformcoop And i'll shush now but @VisionsUnite rises soon!

@dying4badmusic ↩️ Make your own website the single source of truth and syndicate (share) to other platforms (whatever is hip right now)[1]. There is nothing wrong in using facebook I think, it just need curation (muting/unfriend toxic relatives/"friends"/groups/posts) [1] https://indieweb.org/POSSE (twitter.com/_/status/1296924443785207810)

jacky so this 'scroll like four screens' (three for me) to get to the ToC is _bad_
#
jacky https://indieweb.org/like
#
aaronpk heh
#
jacky I did look into this before and it required like theme changes
#
aaronpk nah
#
aaronpk look at the source, there's a __TOC__ somewhere in there i bet
#
jacky ughh
#
aaronpk sometimes we explicitly don't want the TOC right at the top, but then sometimes it just keeps getting pushed down when stuff is added in front of it
#
aaronpk so you can just move it
#
jacky is it because of the images used?
#
jacky b/c those aren't as important as the actual content
#
jacky imo
#
aaronpk i dunno, it seems like it's in a pretty arbitrary spot right now
#
jacky I'm moving the ToC up
#
jacky.wtf edited /like (+2) "moved up ToC to be within first screen of the page" (view diff)
#
jacky I wish I could 'scan' for these
#
jacky but I guess it's a fix-it-as-you-go
#
aaronpk i mean you could
#
aaronpk the wiki source is all in github, so you can search through all the text files looking for pages that contain __TOC__ somewhere after the first N bytes
#
jacky nooo I didn't actually want to do it lol
#
jacky but if you give a viable solution, I feel compelled
#
jacky lol but nah, that actually would be a great wiki gardening project
#
jacky could even extend that to scan for dead links on the Wiki
