@lightweight There is something fun about Subversion's ability to track a huge directory tree (and only checkout subbranches). For single-developer projects, it's totally fine. Appalling for branching and merging etc. though! 😛 I once had my entire home directory in a Subversion repo (dotfiles to the max or something).
@lightweight Isn't it still used for WordPress plugin releases? It used to be that every WP developer had to use it! (Although, it's been a few years since I touched any of that.)
@jc This feels like the sort of thing that should default to using a CC license, but instead seems to just want people to license for this specific use. I wonder what happens long-term.
@BalooUriza It's possible to export notes to GPX, which maybe could be loaded into MagicEarth and form the waypoints for a route? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes/Advanced_use#GPX_export_of_notes
There's an #OpenStreetMap mapping day this weekend in Vic Park (Perth, Western Australia). https://osmcal.org/event/1348/
Interesting podcast with Matthew Westerby about the wiki for the History of Early American Landscape Design: https://betweenthebrackets.libsyn.com/episode-113-matthew-westerby
I love the stuff about finding quiet places, in the latest #cardicast: https://newcardigan.org/cardicast-episode-87-bec-muir/
A web site designed for one person that aggregates functionality (don’t thing “app” but plug-in style “features”) is the idea behind the Small Web:
@killyourfm @thunderbird Searching is a massive one, I find. It's usually me, three weeks later, thinking "oh, what was that thing I noticed in some feed ages ago?' and there it is! Magic.
@JacksonBates oh ha! For some reason I thought the house and town were in about the same place! Good to know. :-)
@JacksonBates ha! Oh dear. It's named after the writing paper that was named after the town (or house? I dunno). Not sure if that makes it any better! :-P
I've added a thing to my static site generator: it reads all the frontmatter metadata into a database when building sites, and it's now possible to edit that database and then write the metadata back into the Markdown files. https://basildon.netlify.app/writing.html
@FirstProgenitor I'll double down on that.
Stop making YOUTUBE VIDEOS instead of wikis.
@leigh Funny lookin' train! Is this Australia's take on a Pacer?
@jan I really need to get on an add webmentions to my website — then I wouldn't have to reply to you here on the fediverse. :-P
What’s the IndieWeb. Do I need it? Why would I want it?
Here’s what you probably need: a place on the web to call your own, that is _not_ controlled by megacorps that can do just about whatever.
Won’t be long till you start thinking about Webmention, though, which enables cross-site conversations. And `h-entry`, which enables more meaningful webmentions.
That’s about all most folks would ever need, I think.
Micropub is nice to have, because when done right, it works regardless of your CMS.
@xnx38h It looks like something that should go through an underground tube! Very cool.

A Wikimedian from Fremantle, Western Australia. I work for the #Wikimedia Foundation, and in my spare time am interested in local history and #genealogy, and write software that does stuff in those areas. I also edit #OpenStreetMap. Sometimes I get away from the computer into my #woodworking workshop. #fedi22
