Ah okay, I just find it a bit disorienting when there's conversation mixed in with bot posts

watching the first breakout session from IWC DUS 2024 and I already need to pause and write a post 😂
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, did you say you had a recording of the day 1 site intros from IWC DUS 2024? I think it's the only session recording we're currently missing on the wiki. cc GWG

Did you get the message I sent via your website GWG?
#
GWG
Yes, you said I need to edit it
#
GWG
I keep meaning to get my clipping notes
#
[tantek]
alright, I'm going to write up the demos from IWC DUS then from the chart archives as best as I can
#
GWG
I'll try to find my ffmpeg cli clipping notes
#
pcarrier[d]
can we fix #indiechat-chat on Discord by moving to https://github.com/pcarrier/purgatorial and removing messages automatically after X seconds, which has to be less than 13 days for reliability because of Discord limitations?
#
aaronpk
no, again the plan is to make a new channel with that bot and then shut down the other channel https://indieweb.org/discuss#off_the_record_channel

aaronpk: I fail to understand why we wouldn't fix the channel we have now now, and make another better whenever we want
#
pcarrier[d]
AFAICT we can rename channels in discord, so deploying the bot against the "current" channel wouldn't waste any time either
#
[tantek]
pcarrier[d], I believe the reasons for a new channel rather than renaming have been stated several times, I can write it up with an explicit permalink in the proposal if it would help
#
pcarrier[d]
hmmm must have missed that. as far as the Discord channel is considered, given it starts with zero history, I fail to see how anyone would be the wiser.
#
aaronpk
right, that makes sense for discord. the problem is that IRC and Slack work differently
#
pcarrier[d]
OK, I must be missing some subtlelty as to why Discord delete-and-create is better than Discord rename. strike my last 2 messages. feels like we're bike-shedding by coupling orthogonal concerns (how to do short-lived channels in Discord and which short-lived channels should exist)
#
aaronpk
remember that the channel is bridged to IRC and Slack, which handle renames and history differently than Discord
#
pcarrier[d]
IRC doesn't have the concept of a rename, and we could create a new channel in Slack to avoid the 3 months history?
#
pcarrier[d]
note I'm not arguing as to rename vs destroy-and-create
#
aaronpk
right, this is all the plan. we just need to settle on the name
#
[tantek]
we need more votes / opinions on the name: https://indieweb.org/discuss#Name_ideas
#
pcarrier[d]
or, we deploy the fix to the existing channel, and it'll be trivial to add to the bestest of channels later? cause I mean, I love bike sheds, I have opinions about wall colors, but the color of the bike shed is not annoying me daily

http://xandra.cc to make the "{{http://xandra.cc}}" work, you have to create a template explicitly for it. See and follow the instructions at https://indieweb.org/wikifying#Step_Four:_Add_a_sparkline
