damn them squirrels are getting poof

@benhamill (notably they can contain slashes and must contain a comma)

@benhamill the main practical difference between the two is that tag: URIs have a larger set of allowed characters, which can be good or bad depending on context

@benhamill for opaque identifiers, my preference is a short Crockford Base32 number <crockford.com/base32.html> with checksum to catch transcription errors, but i can’t recommend tooling for keeping track of this (or a longer correct-horse-battery-staple kind)

if you’re namespacing these identifiers with domains and dates (as tag: / urn:fdc: requires), the problem of preventing collisions can at least be made pretty small

@benhamill don't make a pseudo-URI, make a tag: URI or urn:fdc: URI, which is the same thing but not pseudo-

@djsundog openarchives.org/pmh/ is very old but still pretty widely used i think for querying the contents of collections; might be somewhere to look for that piece

@djsundog i think there is an assumption that any large collection will require some searching to navigate, and search is often a bit fine-tuned, so there hasn't been a ton of work to standardize navigating and exploring collections across platforms

but assuming you have found a resource and have a link to it, there has been a lot of work into how you can then reuse that resource in lots of places

i think kitty is trying to do a bit but honestly she’s always been like this so i’m not sure what’s changed

in a time when white communities around the world are turning to fascism

make sure yours doesn’t. yeah?

@akjcv@types.pl it's very “how do we dechristianize our family traditions” but i think it will be good

i like the gradual lighting of more candles as new years approaches; the traditional third pink candle lines up with the week of the solstice; and orienting the holidays around weekends will work well with our schedules

we both have things we like doing in winter but have zero attachment to the christian trappings surrounding it (or to christmas in particular)

what we’ve been discussing is starting advent with the lighting of the first candle on the fifth sunday before new years, maintaining a twelve day yuletide from the lighting of the fifth candle on the final sunday thru to the second following thursday (twelfth night), and then celebrating kings day on the following day

this is different from the christian kings day but we don't care about epiphany we just want the tasty cake

for the most part “celebrate” just means eating food

Show thread

the winter holidays we celebrate are advent, sinterklaas, new years, and kings day

Show thread

we were talking about the winter holidays and now i want to do winter holidays things but it's not for two more weeks
