tantek.com edited /Trading (+6) "-h1 (we don't use them on our pages), dfn markup" (view diff)
#
[tantek] what is trading
#
Loqi A trades (or /trades) page on a personal website is a page that documents what the site author has available to exchange with others, and what they're interested in receiving https://indieweb.org/Trading
#
[tantek] huh, canonical name should match that too
#
tantek.com moved /Trading to /trades "actual name of the thing defined on the page, lowercase common noun and typical casing in use"

gRegor Since I think our Twitter is basically archived, I wonder if we should make a final, pinned post that points people elsewhere, maybe events.indieweb.org and the this-week page.
#
gRegor @indiewebcamp last post 2023-06-09
#
gRegor Look at James with the shorter hair! :)
#
gRegor I don't think we have an official Mastodon/Bluesky alt for that?
#
gRegor what is this week?
#
Loqi This Week in the IndieWeb is a weekly digest of activities of the IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/this-week
#
gRegor There's this bot run by Tim Chambers: https://indieweb.social/@ThisWeekInIndieWeb
#
gRegor Unfortunately no photo previews on that, ah well
[Al_Abut] joined the channel
#
gRegor Not sure how easy / how it would work, but maybe we could use Bridgy Fed for an @indieweb.org account?
#
gRegor [artlung], I don't think any of the non-video participants minded for this HWC Pacific, but we should probably hide them before taking the photos: https://indieweb.org/Homebrew_Website_Club#Running_the_event
#
[tantek] BF to federate from http://indieweb.org would be good, could we separately federate upcoming events from http://events.indieweb.org?
#
gRegor Oh interesting
Skaterfish joined the channel
#
gRegor The events site is probably relatively easier, since it has mf2 feeds already
#
gRegor I'm forgetting the name of the bot, but I think [artlung] was experimenting with a Mastodon one for indieweb events

gRegor with our own benwerd++
#
Loqi benwerd has 1 karma over the last year
#
capjamesg Yes indeed!
#
gRegor I was just editing a wiki section about his bot from 2016, haha
#
gRegor I wish the YT share-at-time query parameter supported minutes and seconds, but apparently it's only in seconds.
#
capjamesg 😂
#
capjamesg Yeah that would be a nice feature.
#
[tantek] Ordinal seconds are fine
#
gRegor Sure, make people do math to share a link ;)

[tantek] It's mere arithmetic ;)
#
gRegor I added https://indieweb.org/robots#Mastodon_bots if anyone has some other indieweb-related bots to list

[artlung] [gRegorLove] said: _I wish the YT share-at-time query parameter supported minutes and seconds, but apparently it's only in seconds._ -- both formats work. Here's that link with a `t=27m30s` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdyOihQnWv0&t=27m30s
#
gRegor ah good to know. I only tried it with : separator
#
gRegor [artlung]++
#
Loqi [artlung] has 41 karma in this channel over the last year (251 in all channels)
#
[artlung] And yes, that bot I created on thisbot.day is... on hiatus. I need a rethink of it.
#
[artlung] I discovered yesterday my affirmations bot stopped working on Bluesky several months ago (UGH!) so I want to fix that this weekend.
