@xj9 I would be interested to see this kind of data somehow adjusted for climate.

@hardbass2k8 Only mildly?

@snowdusk_ Ohayohuomenta!

@elomatreb Gauss wasn't no normie!

@lnxw48a1 This is an astonishingly rare thing for sites to do, and it's a pet peeve of mine. I'm also annoyed by very vague "timestamps" like "three years ago", which lots of trendy CMSes seem to prefer.

@elomatreb Pfft, you're still aspiring to profundity? All the cool concepts nowadays are postprofound.

@failtime From the "appropriate usernames" department...

@moonman This, as the kids nowadays say, is my aesthetic.

@lain Oh, really? I've been struggling to get lighttpd (yeah, I'm old school) to do this gracefully since I started using Let's Encrypt. Nothing short of stopping and starting the server seems to achieve it, even when the documentation appears to imply otherwise. I had assumed things would be better with trendy new stuff like nginx.

@psztrnk @tomasino I didn't much care for it from the desktop, either. :) Made me wish for something like 'fold' which joins lines, rather than splits them. :)

But I thought the idea of using it to structure your thoughts when writing Markdown, where it would become invisible to the end use once rendered, was a pretty good one.

@kensanata Actually, let's discuss this in the PR thread rather than on Mastodon. :)

@kensanata Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have a PyPi account, but Solderpunk doesn't yet. ;) Easily remedied, though.

I might see if I can slim the administrative overhead down a little bit, first. Does code have to be in a package to make use of the new entry_points stuff, or does it work with modules, too? And what does setup.cfg achieve here?

@kensanata@noctodon.social @psztrnk Whoops! Realised I had not actually pushed the commit to GitHub when I mentioned the bookmark support last night. It should be there now, along with a bunch more stuff (most noticeably, support for item type 7, so you can now submit search queries to Veronica!).

@twylo AT ME.

@kensanata @psztrnk Quick implementation of bookmarking is in:

"add" or "a" to bookmark current page, with an optional alternative name (e.g. "add Bongusta aggregator"). If no alternative name is given, the name from the index by which you arrived at the page is used.

"bookmarks" or "bm" to view bookmarks. May use "v" for this once I'm sure there are no other more important commands that character might be used for.

@kensanata I've accepted your pull request, many thanks! Good luck with the Gopher Wiki project.

@kensanata @psztrnk Oh yeah, that reminds me, I also need to add standard query support (itemtype 7).

@kensanata https://github.com/solderpunk/VF-1 Have at it!

@psztrnk @kensanata Yes, bookmarks are the next feature I plan to add.

Followed, perhaps, by the ability to "subscribe" to URLs, which will store a hash of a URL's content and let you poll for updates, creating a menu of updated phlogs - letting everybody build their own mini Bongusta, basically.

But that's probably it. I don't want it to get bloated.

@psztrnk @kensanata Very glad to hear it! :)
