<2022-01-26T17:35:34.000Z> ForgottenMemes: love your stuff, how do I contribute content to the rake?
<2022-01-26T17:36:25.000Z> theTDC: You mean writing articles? I'll be making a post on that this Friday. It's been low priority for me considering the mountain of tedious web stuff I have to get sorted out.
<2022-01-26T17:38:01.000Z> ForgottenMemes: Yeah, I have something i think would fit in.  It's not news, but it's more along the lines of your article about shaming manlets.
<2022-01-26T17:38:20.000Z> theTDC: Just wait until Friday and I'll announce this to everyone.
<2022-01-26T17:38:28.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I'm also a retired webdev, so I can probably help you sort out some of the web crap if you need
<2022-01-26T17:39:46.000Z> theTDC: Hmmmm. Honestly the re-formatting of articles is incredibly tedious, but coming along. Almost more irritating is telegram not pre-viewing my articles properly. I have no idea why this is.Maybe there's some setting I've turned off accidentally that doesn't let the site embed properly on telegram.
<2022-01-26T17:41:55.000Z> ForgottenMemes: Never used telegram.  My focus was custom programming and SEO.  Could be a setting or have something to do with your theme/template.  Telegram might not support a style you're using.
<2022-01-26T17:44:26.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I've found the best way for most people to deal with formatting issues is to paste as plain text into notepad.  (not word pad) this clears out any crap.
<2022-01-26T17:44:30.000Z> theTDC: I'm looking it up, and apparently I do need to add some SEO plugins to get "rich link previews." I do remember that from Hyphen Report.
<2022-01-26T17:44:54.000Z> theTDC: Already tried to paste to notebook and paste back. It's a classic, but didn't quite work here.
<2022-01-26T17:45:14.000Z> theTDC: But more than formatting all the internal links are incorrect, since they point to Hyphen Report. That honestly takes more time.
<2022-01-26T17:46:05.000Z> ForgottenMemes: Yoast SEO plugin was my goto, but I havn't done anything web related in 5 years, so it might be different now
<2022-01-26T17:46:49.000Z> ForgottenMemes: If it cant be fixed with find/replace that sounds like a job for a perl script
<2022-01-26T17:52:32.000Z> theTDC: I think I can get them all fixed in about 10 hours the manual way. I installed Yoast SEO and sure enough, link previews working now. Only major problem remaining is that three of the pieces have had "Error 403 forbidden," when I go to edit them. No idea why, and I was planning on doing more research when I was done the whole thing.
<2022-01-26T17:54:41.000Z> ForgottenMemes: You might not need to manually change the internal links. 
<2022-01-26T17:55:06.000Z> ForgottenMemes: Unless you did them the wrong way when you originally wrote the articles.
<2022-01-26T17:56:37.000Z> ForgottenMemes: 403 error typically means  you have images and your image directory permissions are not done correctly
<2022-01-26T17:57:31.000Z> ForgottenMemes: chmod -r 777 /directoryname/ 
<2022-01-26T17:57:31.000Z> theTDC: Huh. I'll do more research when I'm done the whole site cleanup. Good lead.
<2022-01-26T17:57:38.000Z> ForgottenMemes: for command line
<2022-01-26T17:57:55.000Z> ForgottenMemes: if you're using ftp or something there should be tick boxes
<2022-01-26T18:00:22.000Z> ForgottenMemes: wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/
<2022-01-26T18:01:26.000Z> theTDC: Bookmarked. I should have that fixed by the end of today.
<2022-01-26T18:02:23.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I was misremembering, you don't want to leave it as 777 since someone might be able to upload a malicious program.  all the info is in that link.
<2022-01-26T18:22:11.000Z> theTDC: Fuck me. I just realized that all the embedded images point to Hyphen-Report.com, in addition to the links. Well that's no good, especially since I don't see how they can be automatically replaced, since many of them were the scaled version and aren't present on dailyrake.
<2022-01-26T18:25:57.000Z> ForgottenMemes: All of your internal links should not have the domain.  The server will fill it in automatically.  In the future remember this when writing/editing articles.
<2022-01-26T18:26:23.000Z> theTDC: I mean I just hit "add media." I have no idea why that happened.
<2022-01-26T18:26:33.000Z> ForgottenMemes: The scaling is typically done by a plugin, so if you have the same plugins hyphen had it might solve that issue.
<2022-01-26T18:27:00.000Z> theTDC: Same for the links. I just used the "add link," button. I have no idea why it put the full path in there.
<2022-01-26T18:27:31.000Z> ForgottenMemes: You can probably change that in the settings, either in vanilla or yoast
<2022-01-26T18:28:07.000Z> ForgottenMemes: but if hyphen had the wrong settings, you're stuck with some manual editing
<2022-01-26T18:28:37.000Z> theTDC: Alrighty. Lemme just manually edit almost 300 articles. Not so much of a single day job anymore, but whatever.
<2022-01-26T18:29:29.000Z> ForgottenMemes: in the editor there should be an option to view raw html, double check that the hyphen domain is there, if ti's not your settings are wrong and this is an easy fux
<2022-01-26T18:29:31.000Z> ForgottenMemes: fix
<2022-01-26T18:29:56.000Z> theTDC: I've been manually editing the raw html for another problem. Trust me it's there.
<2022-01-26T18:31:18.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I'm willing to help you do the grunt work.
<2022-01-26T18:33:07.000Z> ForgottenMemes: Set me up and account, i'll start with the oldest and work forward, you do the newest and work back
<2022-01-26T19:20:29.000Z> theTDC: I don't know. That's too generous of you.
<2022-01-26T19:21:23.000Z> ForgottenMemes: If you're afraid you can't trust me, set up a mirror of the site, we'll fix things up, then you can delete my account and copy the database back to the live site
<2022-01-26T19:22:43.000Z> theTDC: It's not about trust, it's just that's too much of a time committment for me to demand of someone.Additionally I'm somewhat enjoying working through my old articles, and I'm selectively poasting them out.
<2022-01-26T19:22:47.000Z> ForgottenMemes: the ability to set up a staging site like that is exactly why you never include a hard domain in a self-referential link
<2022-01-26T19:22:59.000Z> theTDC: It would also take you far longer, since you wouldn't know what the names of the images are.
<2022-01-26T19:23:29.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I'm retired, I literally have nothing to do.
<2022-01-26T19:23:43.000Z> theTDC: Well let me think about it then.

<2022-01-26T19:26:02.000Z> ForgottenMemes: I'm working on  a book about persuasion for "conservatives" to keep me occupied.  the reason i contacted you is i think some of it can be incorperated into what you're doing.  Listening to you on randbot sounds like we're 99% in agreement on how things should move forward
<2022-01-26T19:27:10.000Z> theTDC: No doubt. In any case get in the telegram chat and we'll go from there.
<2022-01-26T19:27:56.000Z> ForgottenMemes: installing
<2022-01-26T21:15:29.000Z> ForgottenMemes: do you have to approve me or something on this telegram?  never used telegram before
<2022-01-27T00:06:42.000Z> theTDC: No. You should be able to come in with that invite link.
<2022-01-27T20:31:26.000Z> theTDC: I'm still waiting. You should have the invite link.
<2022-01-28T02:04:04.000Z> ForgottenMemes: It says i joined the channel, but there's no way for me to enter text or whatever.  Seems to be read only.
