@kevinmarks ↩️ HTML is better than a database, as it is more antifragile https://indieweb.org/database-antipattern (twitter.com/_/status/1437348806757175296)

@iamhirusi ↩️ Hopefully a per image option? On a different note, you're really making me want to use Tanzawa and get back into #IndieWeb. I'll probably do it too one of these days when themeing is a bit more "there." (twitter.com/_/status/1437405712343179269)

@voxpelli ↩️ Sparklines are very neat. Reminds me of the discussions during @indiewebcamp Nuremberg in 2016 which resulted in this implementation and post from @adactio: https://adactio.com/journal/10531 (twitter.com/_/status/1437435330232258563)

[tantek] any time [KevinMarks] tweets the database-antipattern article I feel we have to brace ourselves for the inevitable defensive reactions

#
capjamesg[d] Happy birthday [KevinMarks]! 🎉
#
[KevinMarks] Thank you!
#
[KevinMarks] It was another thing Shanley didn't like
#
[tantek] I'm not sure it's helpful to personalize it like that
#
[chrisaldrich] Happy Birthday [KevinMarks]! 🎂
#
[tantek] somewhat topical (wiki-editing culture) and amazing example of XKCD 386: https://www.wired.com/story/one-womans-mission-to-rewrite-nazi-history-wikipedia/ (especially worth reading if you're into editing Wikipedia)

[aciccarello] !xkcd 386

#
[tantek] Loqi’s !xkcd command is wrong (on the internet) because it fails to do the obvious check for just a number less than or equal to max(xkcd) and then simply return that one

#
[fluffy] database antipattern page could also use some examples of where file-based stores are superior, rather than database-based stores being a problem; for example, talking about using git or other snapshot-based versioning and rollback
#
[tantek] what is static storage
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "static storage" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "static storage is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] what is file storage
#
Loqi File Storage is the practice of storing main (primary) site content in flat files in a filesystem https://indieweb.org/file-storage
#
[tantek] [fluffy] good examples in there I believe ^ — is there a spot in the /database-antipattern page that could use a link/reference to the /file-storage page's examples?
#
[fluffy] ah, that makes sense
#
[fluffy] I see there’s a link under ‘community split’ to that
#
beesbuzz.biz edited /database-antipattern (+9) "/* community split */" (view diff)
#
[fluffy] BTW, given that the Publ micropub client is unmaintained/archived and seemingly abandoned, would it make sense to make the [[Publ]] page redirect to [[Publ CMS]] and/or rename [[Publ CMS]]? I’m not a fan of calling Publ a “CMS” since it isn’t actually a CMS in a traditional sense.
#
[tantek] or you could make /Publ into a disambig page
#
[fluffy] There used to be one, but someone deleted it
#
[tantek] ugh really?
#
[fluffy] yeah
#
[fluffy] oh wait no it still exists but it’s lowercase-p
#
[fluffy] in any case Publ is only as much of a CMS as Jekyll is
#
[tantek] that's worth making that distinction
#
[tantek] it's a proper noun so the page should be capitalized right?
#
[fluffy] I guess?
#
[tantek] been trying to cleanup stuff like that so the page name capitalization can help distinguish a general concept or jargon term from a project or other singular effort
#
beesbuzz.biz moved /Publ_CMS to /Publ "Publ is not a CMS, and the micropub client is defunct/unmaintained for over 6 years now"
#
beesbuzz.biz edited /Publ (+0) "Publ isn't actually a CMS" (view diff)
#
[tantek] should /publ then redirect to /Publ?
#
[fluffy] I’m fine with /publ still being the disambiguation page I guess? I dunno
#
beesbuzz.biz edited /Publ (+3) "More precision regarding IndieWeb functionality in Publ" (view diff)
#
[tantek] hmmm, I'm not sure it's good to make a distinction between lowercase / uppercase like that, it would be too hard to find the right one or the wrong one accidentally
#
[tantek] There's a way that Wikipedia pages do it, where a page has a "primary" topic and then disambiguates to possible secondary/tertiary meanings, without having a separate disambig page
#
[tantek] that could work well for /Publ
#
[tantek] ohhhh I see now the defunct micropub client used a lowercase "publ" as its name. no wonder this is confusing
#
[tantek] (and I see /Publ already has that Wikipedia style of secondary meaning disambig)
#
[tantek] let's see what Loqi finds
#
[tantek] what is publ
#
Loqi Publ is a dynamic publishing system written in Python https://indieweb.org/Publ
#
[tantek] that seems to work
#
tantek.com edited /publ (+156) "prefer active project, publishing system rather than CMS, add request to fix links" (view diff)
#
[tantek] ^ [fluffy] tried to update it according to what you were expressing. LMK if that makes sense / helps?
#
[fluffy] Looks good to me!
