[19:51:05]<threewordchant>Co-op Cloud is aimed at small groups, to make it easier to set up open-source apps (like FarmOS 😄) on a server.
[19:51:05]<threewordchant>if someone is can run one app, it can help run a few dozen or a couple of hundred (e.g. if there's a local or industry group that wants to host FarmOS for a group of members or clients). or, it can help a group run several different kinds of apps (like Nextcloud for files & calendars, Matrix chat, a Discourse forum, or a bunch of others) without having to learn as much about the specificities of each
[19:51:33]<threewordchant>I hope upcoming write-up will help make things clearer 🙂 let me know if you have more questions!

[22:01:20]<threewordchant>> <@farmer-ed:matrix.org> Hi 3wc ~ they/them: what exactly does co-op cloud do?... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/182939b481...)
[05:11:07]<FarmerEd[m]>Ok, that actually makes it a good bit clearer, look forward to the writeup.

[12:16:53]<symbioquine[m]><mstenta[m]> "I set up a Mastadon account..." <- Maybe this will be helpful: https://jan.wildeboer.net/2022/06/Quick-Fix-Verified-Mastodon-Github/

[12:52:11]<mstenta[m]>oh neat!
[12:52:16]<mstenta[m]>just added GitHub org to the links..
[12:52:23]<mstenta[m]>but i think i'd need to do the specific repo for this hack to work
[12:52:36]<mstenta[m]>in either case, we should add that `rel` to farmOS.org at least!
[12:52:38]<symbioquine[m]>Why?
[12:53:39]<mstenta[m]>oh you got it for your user!
[12:53:48]<mstenta[m]>re-reading..
[12:54:28]<mstenta[m]>ahhh got it... misunderstood
[12:54:38]<mstenta[m]>trying now...
[13:06:16]<mstenta[m]>hmm didn't seem to work
[13:10:55]<mstenta[m]>> in either case, we should add that `rel` to farmOS.org at least!
[13:10:55]<mstenta[m]>i'll try a quick commit for this
[13:13:06]<mstenta[m]>ah hmm i actually don't know how to do that in gatsby 😅
[13:16:30]<mstenta[m]>oh maybe just part of my existing PR https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS.org/pull/60
[13:23:57]<mstenta[m]>oh this is interesting... from that blog you posted symbioquine ...
[13:23:59]<mstenta[m]>> You can use your Mastodon account to comment on this article by replying to the associated Mastodon post.
[13:24:07]<mstenta[m]>it loads comments from mastadon!

[13:53:24]<mstenta[m]>merged the homepage iframe w/ link...

[13:54:13]<mstenta[m]>just did a bunch of digging to see if we could easily add it to the forum too... couldn't find an easy way :-/
[13:54:32]<mstenta[m]>Oh I wonder if I can add it to the chat description...
[13:56:01]<mstenta[m]>hmm seems not (oh well good link to have here anyway)
[13:57:49]<mstenta[m]>man oh man... with all this "verified" drama on twitter... why not just have something like this??
[13:58:39]<mstenta[m]>ehh maybe it's not the same thing, the more i think about it...
[13:58:43]<symbioquine[m]>Different purposes I think
[13:59:05]<mstenta[m]>yea...
[15:02:33]<mstenta[m]>> And then see if I can make it toot new release announcements :-)
[15:02:33]<mstenta[m]>started sketching this logic up earlier today, just pushed work-in-progress (code complete / untested) if anyone is interested: https://github.com/mstenta/farmOS/commit/6712a5a7eef49dea5ee4bf7baf72a88...
[15:03:54]<mstenta[m]>the only qualm i have is it requires a github personal access token, which will need to be regenerated in 1 year (that is the max expiration github allows it seems)
[15:07:40]<mstenta[m]>so... Nov 13, 2023 it will stop working. and when we tag a release the last action will fail (but everything else should work OK)... so it'll at least be a harmless reminder at that point (and we'll have to do a manual commit) - so maybe not terrible
[15:07:53]<mstenta[m]>but maybe there's another way...
[17:56:58]<symbioquine[m]><mstenta[m]> "but maybe there's another way..." <- Maybe deploy keys? https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/managing-deploy-keys#depl...
[17:57:38]<symbioquine[m]>I think that's analygous to the way I'm pushing code from GitHub to Drupal GitLab...
