ulhar4409 thinking of making a silly endpoint for my site where it returns a random avatar

# [Al_Abut] Nailed it
# [Al_Abut] I played a lot of poker for like 15 years and learned to walk past all the jingle jangle to get to the quiet skill-based section just for poker. It’s like finding the hidden library room in a warehouse rave.

# [Al_Abut] [tantek] you joke but maybe we’ll actually want one after the “personal card catalog” session at IWCSD…

# [Al_Abut] I do want to but not sure how my hotspot will perform, now that it’s being throttled. I’ll give it a try in a minute, I’m almost at a good break point for my project.

# kepeken is there an index of vps hosts that's not seoed beyond the point of usefulness?
# kepeken like this https://diskprices.com/ but for vps
# kepeken ok sure vps stands for virtual private server.
# kepeken if anyone would like to share something feel free to ping me in the other channel
# ulhar4409 [snarfed] now i'm imagining commissioning/drawing a bunch of emoji featuring my various forms, haha
# ulhar4409 then a post's avatar coukd be the most popular "form" represented by the emoji in that post, or if the post features art of a form, that form gets to be the avatar
# ulhar4409 latter could probably be attached to particular "categories" on the post and is probably most feasible with my current budget anyhow

# someoneplayedthis Hi all! After noticing yet another new backlink from indieweb (thank you, Tantek!), and noticing Tantek had even presented my Susty Icons at a recent meetup (!!!), I thought I should look a bit closer - and then worked out this isn't some elite community and I can just sign up. So you know, hi!

# someoneplayedthis I'm planning some sort of Launch and Learn event in the new year. It's really amazing to see people react so positively to Tantek's introduction to the project!

# someoneplayedthis To answer one of the questions on the stream:
# someoneplayedthis I'm considering adding a Notes section to the JSON that populates the DOM, and I'd probably add the carbon cost on a large website versus FontAwesome or similar. I made a tool to do the measurements in full now, including rendering impact, which also came up. That's one way I'd hope to make it more tangible.
# IWDiscord <someoneplayedthis>
# someoneplayedthis The site also uses progressive disclosure, incidentally, triggered by human presence. The vertical height hides that from the user. Or it hopefully should do!
# IWDiscord <someoneplayedthis>
# someoneplayedthis Anyway, I look forward to seeing what people discuss here.

# [morgan] Hello Rose, it feels like our Internet is very small and we are on a small 🏝️ island somehow. It's Morgan here - I actually showed susty icons on a call earlier today of Indieweb people and now you are here welcome
# [morgan] This channel is the big room where people mainly discuss joining the group or updates to personal websites or related Indieweb announcement stuff and other stuff too
# [morgan] Definitely check out the other channels for more specific chat too
# [morgan] Definitely a lot of the fun happens on the zoom calls which are organized in #indieweb-events and on the website such as the homebrew website club and front end study hall groups
# someoneplayedthis Thanks for the summary!
# [morgan] I think also you will really appreciate the international fabric of the community here across Europe and other places , I guess similar to the nice aspects of the W3C
# someoneplayedthis Sounds good. 🙂 And thanks for sharing them, again. People here will know my icons before they know me! How quirky. 😄

# osteophage Hi Rose, nice icons. I'm saving the link for the next time I make an update to my useful links page.

[jeremycherfas] Thanks [Al_Abut] I feel like I have only just begun, and that’s exciting.
# [jeremycherfas] I can also imagine eventually migrating my main site from Grav to Hugo maybe.
# [Al_Abut] Interesting. Tell me more about your experience with Hugo? I’ve never used it, I’ve only heard good things though.

# [jeremycherfas] My experience is all in that post :)
# [jeremycherfas] Seriously, I installed it for Berlin, did a bit with it then, and then spent a bit more time this week. The overall structure though seems very similar to Grav. Front matter, content, partial templates, pipelines, etc.
# [jeremycherfas] And to be honest, the tiny bit of interaction I get directly on the Grav site means pure static could be attractive.
