18:04:39 <geekosaur> well, I'm glad we're not the only project with problematic contributors, at least
18:04:50 <geekosaur> (watching discussion in someone else's dev channel)
18:24:55 <Liskni_si> mc47: btw I experimented with the "modern" communication tools recently
18:25:30 <Liskni_si> kind of expected to find a treasure trove full of excited xmonad users helping one another
18:27:22 <Liskni_si> instead I found 2 dead xmonad channels (on Matrix and FP Slack) and an FP Discord that doesn't have xmonad channel and where some people don't even know xmonad is in Haskell
18:27:32 <mc47> yikes
18:27:49 <mc47> I've gotten used to IRC tbh
18:28:17 <mc47> and with the log thing, I don't miss anything
18:28:37 <Liskni_si> seems all the excitement is here and on reddit, and then that distrotube guy
18:28:55 <Liskni_si> I've seen some discussions around clickable workspaces in his gitlab repo
18:29:22 <geekosaur> if you're interested in xmonad (or indeed tiling wms at all) you probably aren't all that into all-webby stuff :)
18:29:45 <mc47> It's weird that his dotfiles repo has pull requests and issues
18:29:52 <geekosaur> or whatever's hotnewstuff
18:30:03 geekosaur is slightly surprised his doesn't
18:30:18 <mc47> To be fair, I don't expect a channel that isn't advertised by the community to do well
18:30:30 <geekosaur> granting I haven't updated mine in a while, and what's there is somewhat buggy
18:30:57 <geekosaur> (and keeps getting broken by newer systems; I found a new zsh bug the other day, sigh)
18:31:23 <Liskni_si> geekosaur: if you had thousands of youtube/twitch followers, surely some of them would open PRs on your dotfiles :-)
18:31:34 <mc47> Definitely
18:31:58 <geekosaur> probably. not that I care enough to even try there
18:32:10 <mc47> The only thing I'd suggest now for the communication, is that we maybe experiment with github discussions
18:32:34 <mc47> although I did zero research on that, so I don't have a strong opinion
18:32:51 <Liskni_si> I think the most impactful thing we could do is get the website updated somehow
18:34:11 <Liskni_si> (I had one PR on my dotfiles a while ago, but I didn't get an e-mail about it because for some completely random reason I wasn't watching the repo, and then I found I'm not watching about half of my repos on github and had to create a script to fix that)
18:34:43 <geekosaur> I found the export page for the wiki the other day, we could hopefully use pandoc to move the wiki and maybe the website to the GH wiki
18:35:01 <geekosaur> dunno who has keys to the website. hoping it's not peti
18:35:08 <Liskni_si> everyone has
18:35:33 <Liskni_si> it's hosted from xmonad-web repo via github pages, so any merge goes live within a few seconds
18:35:48 <geekosaur> ah, good
18:36:04 <geekosaur> in that case we might as well use their wiki too
18:36:23 <Liskni_si> but the domain is owned by someone who volunteered for it on the mailing list a couple years back, iirc
18:36:36 <Liskni_si> whenever they stop paying for it, we're fucked :-)
18:50:18 <mc47> Yeah it probably makes sense to take care of the website first
18:51:43 <Liskni_si> (I'm not against doing anything with GitHub Discussions, just that I haven't seen them used anywhere yet, so I feel like they're not the thing that will help people the most)
18:58:49 <mc47> On another note, did someone else have problems while using "<raw=../>" with unicode?
18:59:42 <Solid> Liskni_si: the domain changes hands just a few months ago actually
19:00:04 <Solid> I'd think the person paying for everything would just contact the mailing list again that they don't care anymore
19:00:13 <Solid> and I'm sure someone would be there to step up
19:00:26 <mc47> I wanted to throw the (ugly) clickable workspaces solution I've hacked together for the library one, but xmobar doesn't like that the font awesome unicode is wrapped inside the raw tag and it fails to parse the string
19:00:27 <geekosaur> you assume they remember
19:00:36 <Liskni_si> that only works if they're sane/alive when they stop caring
19:00:40 <geekosaur> ofcourse they should get notified when it's up for renewal
19:01:17 <geekosaur> mc47, does it include any characters from private use areas?
19:01:43 <mc47> what's that?
19:02:11 <mc47> I'm trying to have something like "\xf2dc" in there
19:02:35 <Solid> okay when they die then we may have a problem, but I think we can deem that "unlikely"
19:03:11 <mc47> geekosaur a quick google search tells me that they're probably from private use areas
19:03:44 <Liskni_si> I just tried setting my terminal title to something unicodeish and didn't get a parse error
19:03:53 <Liskni_si> it didn't display properly either, though
19:03:55 <Solid> 19:29 <mc47> It's weird that his dotfiles repo has pull requests and issues << how does that work? "I want this feature, implement it for me"? x)
19:04:06 <geekosaur> yeh, and I think xmobar uses ghc's read which throws on PUA characters but escapes Haskell escapes for them
19:05:37 <Liskni_si> echo -ne "\033]0;smile: ☺\007" works
19:05:47 <mc47> Solid, I guess it's from people having problems replicating the config or asking how to tweak things. DT doesn't know haskel as far as I know
19:05:51 geekosaur ran into that working on X.U.Loggers.NamedScratchPads
19:06:04 <geekosaur> right but those are C escapes
19:06:37 <Solid> mc47: god I would hate that :D
19:06:39 <geekosaur> dunno what xmobar needs but it sounds like it dislikes actual private use area chars, so try escape sequences for them.
19:07:35 <mc47> geekosaur I'll try that, thanks
19:07:49 <geekosaur> I don't know which escapes it wants though
19:08:01 <geekosaur> C style, JSON/JS style, Haskell style…
19:08:38 <mc47> Solid, thank God not enough people see my config.. The only thing I have in the readme is a .desktop file that I need to use to override another .desktop file :D
19:08:54 <Solid> hah
19:11:44 <geekosaur> o.O no watches but two people have forked my xmonad config at some point
19:12:11 <geekosaur> which is especiially interesting as the useful parts are in branches, the main repo just has a couple quickie utilities in it
19:12:21 <geekosaur> s/the main repo/master/
19:12:48 <geekosaur> nobody has my dotfiles, not that I advertise them widely
19:13:03 <geekosaur> I've at least linked to my configs occasionally
19:14:50 spasmaster joins (~dummy0000@151-59-177-143.ftth.glasoperator.nl)
19:14:59 <Solid> dotfile forks are pretty funny :D
19:15:46 Solid thankfully has none of that, though he hasn't advertised his dotfiles anywhere he knows of either

20:07:39 <geekosaur> hm, nope, can't do that either, no signal here so can't use the hotspot. pfeh
