# Zegnat Has manton's micro.blog been confirmed to be self-hosted? This suggests it has: http://mjtsai.com/blog/2017/01/13/app-net-is-shutting-down/
sebsel, Kopfstein and [jeremycherfas] joined the channel
# [jeremycherfas] [zegnat] My understanding is that it will be both hosted and self-hosted, but I could be wrong.
# sebsel It's confusing yeah. We have this: https://twitter.com/manton2/status/818666358548426752
# @manton2 @dougmckown Yes, you can bring your own blog and host anywhere. http://name.micro.blog is just a nice default. More portable than /name. (twitter.com/_/status/818666358548426752)
# sebsel "Will: Thanks! It's not downloadable software. Instead, the book is about how to use existing software like WordPress, Jekyll, and others to get started with microblogging, and Micro.blog helps tie everything together with a timeline UI, cross-posting, APIs, and apps. If you don't want to use other tools, you can also let Micro.blog handle everythi

# [manton] @Zegnat Yeah, there's some confusion about this still. The whole platform at Micro.blog is not open source, although maybe eventually it will be. You can map your own domain to a blog hosted at Micro.blog, or just run existing blogging software anywhere and connect it. If people want to self-host I think it's a better approach to recommend WordPress and similar tools.

# [jeremycherfas] Thanks sebsel
# [manton] So, my hopes for the project from an IndieWeb perspective are basically two things: 1) support a bunch of APIs like Micropub, Webmention, WebSub, and microformats; 2) get people thinking about owning their own content and starting a microblog independent of Twitter. I've heard from a lot of people who want to start a new blog and just haven't gotten around to it or because the tools weren't quite right yet.
nitot joined the channel
# [manton] Fair enough. I can totally understand that. I want everyone to self-host too, but I also think there are a lot of people who need something 1-click and easy. (And if they decide to let Micro.blog host their site, it will be much more open, in terms of APIs and data export. I've built some export stuff that I really like, such as mirroring your entire microblog to GitHub Pages every time you publish.)

# [jeremycherfas] manton I didn’t appreciate that I would be able to use MarsEdit, which I really like, if I decide to get me.micro.blog. That sounds interesting too.
# Loqi XML-RPC is an outdated and verbose use of XML over HTTP to make API calls, sometimes errantly used as a synonym of MetaWeblog API (the most well known example thereof), that enables and implicitly encourages using your actual username and password (instead of OAuth) with client software, thus overprivileging that software, as well as possibly transmitting your password in the clear over HTTP https://indieweb.org/XML-RPC
# KevinMarks_ @sebsel - using country flags to mean language isn't a good idea. Countries are imperfectly multilingual too.
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "good way to represent language as an icon" yet. Would you like to create it?
# KevinMarks_ I don't think there is one
# KevinMarks_ I know, but it is saying the wrong thing. This is more obvious in countries with multiple official languages like Belgium and Switzerland and the UK, but still awkward.
# KevinMarks_ When choosing a language, show its name in the language you're choosing. When indicating an other language excerpt, show the name in the containing language?
# sebsel yeah, researching http://nmbs.be (the railroads) they use textual links
# KevinMarks_ Amazon.ch used to make you use German
# sebsel http://www.hema.be/ > two Belgian flags with the names of the languages.
# Loqi language may refer to human (or natural) languages or computer (often programming) languages https://indieweb.org/lang

# KevinMarks_ And Stephanie is halfway in between, as she posts French summaries for English posts and English summaries for French ones
# sebsel language << [[multilingual blogging]]
# Loqi ok, I added "[[multilingual blogging]]" to the "See Also" section of /language

# Loqi ok, I added "http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2013/09/17/basic-bilingual-1-0-plugin-for-wordpress-blog-in-more-than-one-language/" to the "See Also" section of /multilingual blogging
# sebsel Well I have https://seblog.nl/english, but it's not linked anywhere.
# sebsel yeah I used cweiskes phar (listed on /language) to do that, but it gave weird errors
# KevinMarks_ This "each text has exactly one language" thing is really Procrustean
# KevinMarks_ Now Google translate is going all ml, I wonder how it will cope with mixing languages
# sebsel https://seblog.nl/2017/01/07/4/seb-leert-unittesten-met-php-deel-1 < It's Dutch, but it's also very English.
# sebsel this one, kind of silly, but what language is that? https://seblog.nl/2016/02/21/1/sjiphol-leedies-djentelmen-sjiphol

# Loqi A subdomain typically refers to a domain with one more "name(dot)" component than that which someone actually has registered which is often seen indieweb sites with a family name domain like joel(dot)franusic(dot)com, or often on silos like matt(dot)wordpress(dot)com https://indieweb.org/subdomain

# tantek manton++ for "To provide value it doesn’t need to replace Twitter. But also, it can." This is such a key way of looking at #indieweb things in general, and breaks the artificial dichotomy most people seem to be stuck in. https://twitter.com/manton2/status/820372146375524359
