We have an Eastern?'
#
gRegor
Yep, it's on the events site
#
gRegor
[mattl]2, did you get access to the 1password to start up the Zoom, or is someone else starting it?
#
gRegor
[0x3b0b], Usually add Internet Archive links if they're available. If there's newer links that are current, can put those first then the archived link after with "(archived)"
#
gRegor
what is microblog.pub
#
Loqi
microblog.pub is self-hostable, single-user, IndieWeb friendly microblogging open source software that supports many IndieWeb building blocks such as IndieAuth, microformats2, Micropub, Webmention, and also ActivityPub https://indieweb.org/microblog.pub
#
gRegor
That's a bummer, though glad it's forked
#
[0x3b0b]
The community consensus is definitely still "we hope Thomas comes back"
#
[mattl]2
I have no passwords for Zoom but I think schmarty does

what is life happens
#
Loqi
life happens is a summary expression of numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and the IndieWeb community is here to acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing this https://indieweb.org/life_happens
#
[tantek]
0x3b0b ^ in case that helps with thoughts around "we hope Thomas comes back"
#
[0x3b0b]
100%. To be more thorough in the sentiment, we hope Thomas comes back if he _wants_ to.
#
[schmarty]
Yep I should be able to start the zoom tomorrow for HWC East. Haven't actually *hosted* in a while so bear with me 🤪
#
catgirlin.space
think i’m busy during both :(
#
capjamesg[d]
[tantek] I will support IndieWeb cafe.
#
catgirlin.space
does the cafe have tea...
#
capjamesg[d]
catgirlin_space0[d] Most certainly!
#
capjamesg[d]
Wow, there is a bubble tea emoji!
#
catgirlin.space
yay

could we have a tag booster that boosts all indieweb-related fediverse posts? this way I could reliably reply… (for context "I can't boost or reply to toots of people I don't already follow, unless they were boosted by the accounts my instance follows… Following them doesn't backfill their history on my instance, so the existing toot remains out of reach." — https://nothing.pcarrier.com/posts/fediverse-bust/)
#
aaronpk
That sounds like a pretty major mastodon limitation/bug
#
aaronpk
I thought you could put in a permalink to a post in the search box to get your instance to index a post and then interact with it
#
pcarrier
aaronpk[d] well I'm glad I raised this. thanks!!

[tantek]
Wait so anyone can search any instance for a permalink which then loads that permalink into that instance's searches?
#
aaronpk
i think it requires being logged in to the instance to do it
#
aaronpk
just did a quick test logged out and wasn't able to
#
pcarrier
same with gotosocial, `{"error":"Unauthorized: token not supplied"}`
#
[mattl]2
Can you sign into the instance as a guest?

hmm. /web_hosting is a pretty chunky page, though. i could see a case for pulling the VPS-related content into /VPS and linking to it.
#
aaronpk
yeah i think it might have reached the threshold for justifying its own page
#
[tantek]
Yes that was why I think we made that page. To encourage migration of the content and leave behind a summary in the hosting page
#
[tantek]
Definitely needs some gardening

what is indieweb
#
Loqi
The IndieWeb is a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content https://indieweb.org/indieweb
#
capjamesg[d]
I love that today is a four HWC day.

it's been a while since i have attended a virtual HWC and much longer since i emcee'd. [mattl] are you planning to do hosting duties?
#
[mattl]2
Let me look at what that entails. Happy to do it if I can but also I think this is my first virtual HWC
#
[schmarty]
ah, no worries, then.
#
[schmarty]
from the notes of recent HWCs i get the impression that a lot of the old ceremony has been dropped. 😂
#
[mattl]2
I'm also somewhat incapacitated with my sprained ankle so happy for whatever.
#
capjamesg[d]
You are most welcome to take over this meeting.
#
capjamesg[d]
I can get you an Etherpad set up if you need it!
#
gRegor
etherpad should already be linked on the event
#
gRegor
I wondered if EU HWC zoom was going to collide, haha
#
gRegor
But yeah, it's pretty chill. Some pointers here: https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#Running_the_event Don't forget the photo! :)
#
gRegor
Might double check the "live now" link on https://events.indieweb.org/2024/09/homebrew-website-club-eastern-ED6Xu2KBoz5H, might have to paste in the ongoing EU HWC link

did the Europe event last 3+ hours?
#

looks like different meeting IDs

It's been known to happen, haha

i replaced the US/Eastern Zoom link w/ the in-progress one.
