What balance do you strike between a webpage and the booking page when deciding what content to add?

I've made a webpage for an event and on the ticket-selling platform they've also made a page. There's a lot of redundant information between the two. I'm finding it hard to decide if it's a good idea or not to deduplicate the information.

Personally, I would just have the information on the webpage and on the ticket-selling platform I would just sell tickets. The platform would have a link back to the webpage for people looking for more information.

It could be the opposite: the ticket platform could have all the info and just embed their iframe into a page on our website.

Anyway, the job is done for this time but I can't stop thinking about it :) Any thoughts?

MiniDisc release: Headspace by Occams Laser
  • Fantastic to see a MiniDisc release. Occam's Laser did a great cover of the Cathederal level music from the game Batman the Movie (1989). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQLF40agkLc

    I have two minidisc players, both of which don't record anymore. I can't find anyone to repair them but if I do, I'll be back buying Minidiscs with enthusiasm.

  • ‘The grey zone’: how IDF views some journalists in Gaza as legitimate targets
  • Asked about the al-Aqsa network casualties, a senior IDF spokesperson told reporters in the Gaza project consortium that there was “no difference” between working for the media outlet and belonging to Hamas’s armed wing, a sweeping statement legal experts described as alarming.

    “It’s a shocking statement,” Adil Haque, a law professor at Rutgers University in the US said, describing the position as showing “a complete misunderstanding or just a wilful disregard for international law”.

  • Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough
  • And even if the out-of-the-box RAM is soldered to the machine, it should still be possible to add supplementary RAM that isn't soldered for when the system demands it. Other computers have worked like this in the past with chip RAM but a socket to add more.

  • Israeli tank fired at Hind Rajab family car from metres away: Investigation
  • We certainly shouldn’t wait for several decades, which is when a lot of the examples we teach currently happened.

    Also while we should obviously be responsible, it’s disingenuous to imply that there are not plenty of verified war crimes already. There is no further context needed to show how depraved we as humans can get if we don’t keep our politicians, education and media in check.

  • Israeli tank fired at Hind Rajab family car from metres away: Investigation
  • The horrors of this invasion should be taught in school history. There's a danger that we look at the horrors of the past, which are also taught in our history, and think "well, I don't think this would happen in this day and age". We can't afford to stay complacent.

  • A reminder to love nature
  • In the anglosphere maybe, which most of Lemmy seems to represent. I come across countless legends doing the same work but without the same recognition. When Greta Thunberg, who I admire, became big I read an article about all the people around her age that have been doing the same campaigning. They were mostly indigenous people so nobody came along with a TV show for them.

  • Greece introduces the six-day work week
  • Would you mind elaborating? No pressure. I spent time there as a kid in the 90s and have a lot of nostalgia for the place, but I haven't engaged with the place as an adult and I'm way out of touch so I'm genuinely curious.

  • Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
  • I got tired of having to learn new things. The latest was a reverse proxy that I didn't want to configure and maintain. I decided that life is short and just use samba to serve media as files. One lighttpd server for my favourite movies so I can watch them from anywhere. The rest I moved to free online services or apps that sync across mobile and desktop.

  • EU delays decision over scanning encrypted messages for CSAM
  • Well, we can't trust that corruption would be low enough that this wouldn't be exploited for other reasons. Child trafficking and exploitation is off the charts. If this did actually help those kids I'd consider supporting it. But I do remember when Apple announced that they would do this that some groups that seemed reputable claimed that it wouldn't actually help. I don't know what to think of it.

  • How to make pure CSS slideshow responsive? [codepen included]

    I created a banner image for a webpage and by specifying a width of 100% and a max-width of 1024px I got an image that scales down on small devices but also doesn't get to big on large displays. Perfect.

    I decided that I'd like it to be a slideshow so I've been testing this pure CSS implementation https://codepen.io/gradar/pen/BaavLLo

    The problem is that on smaller devices, the images are too big. So I tried applying the same CSS I did for my static image but it didn't work. I assume that this is due to the CSS animation specifying funky margins. Is it possible to get the same behaviour that my banner does on the codepen example?

    PS: My page with the working banner image is here in case it makes it clearer https://optimumhealth.ie/yoga-festival/

    Sometimes when I try to post or comment, I get a spinning circle and the post/comment is never submitted.

    This was the situation for several hours yesterday. Is anybody else having this issue?

    I tried Safari and Firefox - no difference.

    Help me remember a Picard quote from TNG. Something about time being like an old friend.

    He said something about how some people consider time and enemy, or a thief of life. But he himself (Picard) sees time as an old friend.

    Anybody know the episode or full quote? I’ve searched but the newer series, Picard, is cluttering the results.
