jorisvandijk Ok, so just the wiki username. Gotcha 🙂

[tantek] I think you can make both work. Forgot exactly how

#
[artlung] I suspect chat-name has that power https://indieweb.org/chat-names
#
jorisvandijk So I'd need to add a second entry?
#
jorisvandijk It's also annoying I got the .com on my username on the wiki
#
[artlung] The username is based on the domain/url you login with. The chat name does not have to include `.com`

#
jorisvandijk Come on...
#
[capjamesg] Who is 2=jorisvandijk
#
[capjamesg] Never mind. I saw that you had the 2= in the username part.
#
jorisvandijk.com edited /User:Jorisvandijk.com (+39) (view diff)
#
[tantek] jorisvandijk the point of your "username" with the .com is that it's the last username you should ever need. You should be more annoyed at every service that insists you create a new username just for them
#
[tantek] Some folks have used the term "internet handle" to refer to this capability of a universal username
#
jorisvandijk It's in-chat that it annoys me. I do like the username situation on the wiki. It's just in here my nick is "jorisvandijk", not "jorisvandijk.com".
#
tantek.com why not in-chat as well?

jorisvandijk.com deleted /Template:joris "content was: "<span class="h-card" style="white-space:nowrap">{{sparkline|1=https://jorisvandijk.com/img/mrgreen.png}} [[User:Jorisvandijk.com|Joris]]</span>", and the only contributor was "[[Special:Contributions/Jorisvandijk.com|Jorisvandijk.com]]" ([[User talk:Jorisvandijk.com|talk]])"

#
[artlung] the wiki has many pages. I do love a category page as a kind of overview of a rough topic.

#
[schmarty] artlung++ this is excellent wiki gardening
#
Loqi artlung has 34 karma in this channel over the last year (240 in all channels)
#
[artlung] thanks. I posted a link to the Writing category along with the writing event and it had me thinking to review some categories I've added to.
#
tantek.com edited /personal-domain (-58) "drop indiemark phrase from intro paragraph because we are far behind in updating IndieMark, can re-add if we make it a thing again" (view diff)
#
[artlung] one of my favorite things I did was add to James' perl script that archives event etherpads and appends Front End to FrESH and Writing to Writing events.
#
[capjamesg] tantek Re: “internet handle” I also like “web handle”
#
tantek.com edited /personal-domain (+4) "link subdomain" (view diff)
#
[tantek] capjamesg, where have you seen folks use "web handle"?
#
[capjamesg] I can’t remember reading it anywhere. It just made sense to me.
#
[capjamesg] Or rather makes sense.
#
[capjamesg] [artlung] While the Perl script is no longer in use, the Python version that is running carries this on: https://github.com/capjamesg/indieweb-etherpad-archiver-v2/blob/main/app.py#L23
#
[tantek] I like fewer syllables
#
[capjamesg] I also think there’s something meaningful about using the word “web” where possible and appropriate.
#
artlung.com edited /avif (+23) "Front end cat" (view diff)
#
[capjamesg] We’re already distanced enough from the web with apps, etc. I want the web to be more in the vernacular.
#
[artlung] derp! Today I Learned! I vaguely remember you doing a rewrite!
#
[capjamesg] The rewrite collapsed all the logic from three files into one shorter file.
#
Loqi Generated a new draft of the newsletter! https://indieweb.org/this-week/2026-05-29.html
#
[capjamesg] Adding categories for specific notes is still a one-line change which I like.
#
[artlung] oh that's so clean! and you linked to an anchor line number. very nice.

[artlung] why use google (from 1999) https://web.archive.org/web/19991104024914/http://google.com/why_use.html

[artlung] > _Unlike many other search engines, Google only produces results that match all of your search terms, either in the text of the page or in the link anchors pointing to the page. No more frustration with results that have nothing to do with your search terms._
