Just fyi, #microformats:libera.chat isn't loading for me. I'm using element (matrix).
#
BinyaminGreen[m]
By not loading, I mean, I'm not able to join.

weird. It finally loaded. Took about 5 full minutes.

I've been experimenting with Element's new idea of spaces. The concept is, it groups various channels under a single icon. I made an indieweb space. Is it okay if I post an invite link?

I don't know anything about matrix or spaces or why a room might not sync
#
BinyaminGreen[m]
Thank you. How do you feel about the invite link?

[Binyamin_Green] do you have a link about how those things work?

OwnCast << how to install on Linode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWE7HGJQI_4
#
Loqi
pong
#
aaronpk
what is OwnCast?
#
Loqi
OwnCast is a self-hosted livestreaming application that can be used to livestream from your own website https://indieweb.org/OwnCast
#
aaronpk
OwnCast << test
#
barnaby
doesn’t the << syntax only work within a few minute window after a “what is”?
#
Loqi
Sorry, I couldn't find a page named "doesn’t the" or similar
#
barnaby
no problem, Loqi
#
aaronpk
no it works all the time
#
aaronpk
i'm guessing there was an error trying to fetch the youtube URL. it'll try to expand tweets or other links to include the text or article name
#
barnaby
ah okay, I’ve only ever seen << used after a what query
#
Loqi
Sorry, I couldn't find a page named "ah okay, I’ve only ever seen" or similar
#
barnaby
but I suppose that’s just a behavioural pattern people tend towards
#
aaronpk
yeah like checking if the page exists before trying to edit it

[Ana_Rodrigues]
Oh no. I did take it but I completely forgot to upload it and I am not home how. So sorry! 😭
#
[tantek]
can you email it to someone to upload?
#
[Ana_Rodrigues]
It’s on my laptop and I don’t have it with me at the moment 😭 the deadline is in one hour right?

Interesting addition 😄
#
[tantek]
inspired by aaronpk in #indieweb
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
indeed, i checked the chat back log
#
GWG
[tantek]: Maxwell took one
#
[tantek]
can we get it posted in the next 30 minutes?
#
GWG
If Maxwell sees this... I don't have it
#
GWG
I should take a backup

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/2021-06-11.html
#
[tantek]
awww no photos this week!
#
[tantek]
I think the key is to upload it to the event *during* the HWC meetup itself
#
[tantek]
so we don't forget
#
[tantek]
and everyone else in the HWC meetup can encourage the organizer to do so 🙂
#
aaronpk
i tried to make it so easy to upload photos too!
#
[tantek]
you did! maybe we need a big red banner at the top for the organizer PLEASE UPLOAD PHOTO during & after the meetup until a photo gets uploaded
#
[tantek]
oooh maybe that's an explicit feature to add, "organizer claiming"
#
[tantek]
so e.g. GWG creates the event, but then the facilitator can "claim" the event as facilitator/organizer
#
[tantek]
then they get the additional photo upload nag lol
#
Loqi
Generated the final version of the newsletter! This will be sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2021-06-11.html
#
[tantek]
or nag everyone who RSVPs to the event, and assume collective social pressure will get the facilitator to upload 🙂
#
GWG
[tantek]: I was just going to suggest more than one person takes a screenshot for redundancy
#
[tantek]
GWG, ironically I think that may result in worse results due to the "I thought you had it" phenom
#
GWG
[tantek]: Either way, at least we remembered to take one. Half the battle
#
aaronpk
when i'm on i usually take one myself as a backup but i don't tell anyone :)

#
[tantek]
^ that's the better strategy
#
[tantek]
except do so same time as the host/facilitator, so folks have had the chance to opt out
#
aaronpk
hey cool the yellow banner in the newsletter worked in gmail
#
[Ana_Rodrigues]
I just managed to upload it but didn’t make it on time. 😞 I’m going to set an alarm for next time. sadly this time I broke routine because I went on a small holiday break.
