GWG I think it is a lesson that you need to do something about your website contact form when people are using it to send you links to Nazi dance hits.
#
GWG I expected bitcoin schemes and phishing attacks, but not that

#
[morganm] Spam, phishing, trolls, unfortunately can be a thing out there. Ive had some cold marketing contacts when I had a form but luckily nothing like that.
#
GWG I think I need to change the parameters of the form though

[morganm] https://www.morganwebdev.org/urls/ I started a new page on my website today, It is just the beginning 🙂

#
[aciccarello] GWG, I'm sorry people are doing that to you. That's terrible.
#
[aciccarello] I wonder if there's some keyword you can block
#
GWG I was going to look at customizing the form. I'm assuming someone is automating submissions
#
[aciccarello] That would affect the solution a lot. Do you have a captcha or similar already?
#
GWG Yes, but clearly it isn't working well.
#
[aciccarello] Ah, just saw the convoy in #indieweb-dev too
#
paotsaq welcome, @staus. ! I think you'll love it here.
#
paotsaq we just had Indie Web Camp in Berlin, which
#
paotsaq -- oops, too early an enter keystoke — which had two people coming over from Denmark :)

#
[mattl] Good example of how sites can mess with scrolling
#
paotsaq ouch — their example hurts
#
paotsaq there are some things I actually like about scrolling that feel very satisfying, but that changed my mind a bit
#
paotsaq in particular, there's a behaviour in mobile browsers now that I feel I need to game: the URL bar (and bottom buttoms in some browsers) will only disappear after one scrolls a bit

acrilique hi everyone, I'm trying to open a websocket connection from an https served website to a websocket server in the LAN (which has a private IP address). I've had a bunch of problems trying to do this in the past, but I've been reading that if the server supports wss it should work. Has someone done this recently? Is there anything else I should take
#
acrilique into account besides adding wss (tls) support to the server? thx in advance
#
Loqi hey acrilique: that's a lot of dev jargon! websocket, TLS... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
acrilique definitelyç
acrilique left the channel

[tantek] what is a collection?
#
Loqi 📑 A collection is a type of post that explicitly lists and/or embeds multiple other posts chosen by the author https://indieweb.org/collection
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d] ^ perhaps some related thoughts!

capjamesg[d] We're on Create Day right now!

reillypascal Completed my planned project for Black Friday Create Day! Added tags and tag pages to my blog: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/2024/11/connecting-notation-programs-to-maxmsp/
#
reillypascal (unrelated blog post, but shows the tag links)
#
[morganm] Is this idea generally to create stuff and maybe not buy as much for create day or does it have a history :D?
#
capjamesg[d] Yes, that's the idea!
#
capjamesg[d] This is our second I think!

immibis needs to remember to add a "personal FAQ" page because it's funny. Questions I get frequently asked recently include "aren't you cold?", "what drugs are you on?" and "is that your real hair?"
#
immibis and that's pretty funny without an ounce of context
#
[tantek] what is a personal FAQ
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "personal FAQ" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "personal FAQ is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] huh
#
[tantek] I thought we had a page of examples of people's personal FAQs
#
[tantek] it's certainly something I've seen before
#
immibis google finds one, which is all "how do you pronounce your surname?" and "where were you born?"
#
[morganm] Im writing a small blog about my experience of updating my website and trying out Speculation Rules API

#
immibis speculation rules sound like a way to fingerprint - cover the document with a grid of speculatable links and you can track cursor movements

#
[morganm] Thats what mine looks like, the browser chrome is doing the rest, we can take it to #indieweb-dev if need be 😄
#
[morganm] Im providing it just two urls to prerender right now
cedric joined the channel
#
[morganm] So far Im thinking of bullet points to describe in my post for Create Day!
#
[morganm] • Using a button component style by Andy Bell
#
[morganm] • Using SpeedCurve and mPulse on my website
#
[morganm] • Speculation Rules API
#
[morganm] • Using a Cookie Banner Web Component interestingly made by Porsche the car manufacturers OSS team
#
Loqi hey [morganm], it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (API, OSS), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[morganm] Such a smart bot. Arguably the smartest automaton Ive encountered. Will do Logi
#
[morganm] Loqi* Thank you
