# 00:40 tantek aaronpk - wow that sounds very similar to the existing spot (main room + 3 conference rooms). how's the location? walkable to local cafes / bars / restaurants for both grabbing snacks/espresso and unwinding afterwards? # 00:46 aaronpk yea! It's right downtown by the waterfront, lots of stuff nearby. davida joined the channel
# 03:06 tantek and I'm assuming that 4mygy is some opaque ID in a database tilgovi, davida, danbri, paulbooker, paulbooker1, singpolyma, josephboyle, tantek and danbri_ joined the channel
# 18:13 aaronpk tantek: I clicked the "short link" on google maps, and that's what I got. # 18:41 reidab aaronpk: does the indieauth prompt on indiewebcamp.org really only work with the root of a domain? # 18:46 aaronpk reidab: I think I may have made that assumption, yes # 18:47 reidab I will edit my html… :P # 18:47 aaronpk i'm curious what your use cases is for having it not at the root? # 18:47 aaronpk oh, your profile links are not on the root of your domain? # 18:48 reidab they're at reidab.com/profile # 18:48 reidab but I can edit things to make it work tilgovi joined the channel
# 19:25 tantek reidab - try tantek.com/relmeauth to see if that works with your domain as is # 19:25 tantek I believe I coded one level deep of rel-me references into your own site # 19:25 tantek so for people who have their other profiles on a "contact" page for example # 19:25 aaronpk tantek: does that assume example.com/contact and example.com/ are the same person? # 19:26 tantek aaronpk - no, it doesn't assume that, it *allows* for it if there's a rel-me from the root to the sub page # 19:28 tantek this was/is a common enough use case (contact/other profiles linked *from* home page rather than on it) # 19:28 aaronpk ok, so that's a bit of crawling then, right? enter adactio.com, finds rel=me to 'contact' and 'journal' and checks both for more rel=me links? # 19:28 tantek right, the relmeauth library explicitly allows for crawling rel-me links 1-deep inside a site # 19:29 aaronpk does it require that it's on the same domain, or will it crawl 1-level deep on other domains? i.e. if tantek.com/ links to ttk.me/, would it scan ttk.me/ for more rel=me links? # 19:29 tantek the use cases were on the same domain, so that's what we coded for # 19:30 tantek no need to prematurely generalize code outside of known use cases # 19:30 tantek and especially with anything security/identity related # 19:30 aaronpk ok, so it's explicitly checking same-domain links then? # 19:30 tantek any such overgeneralization is a broadening of attack surface # 19:33 tantek so the home page or contact page use-cases are the only ones we've found in any kind of wide use for indieweb sites # 19:33 tantek and it's a nice simple thing to express, so that also makes it better from a security perspective # 19:34 aaronpk i'll make a note to add support for that to indieauth.com # 19:35 tantek so those are the two choices you get for relmeauth # 19:35 tantek which is more restrictive than rel-me in general, but that's ok because auth is important to be restrictive about danbri and daviddemello joined the channel

# 20:58 tantek is working on indieweb citation conventions (as part of updating the citation UI on Falcon permalink pages) daviddemello and josephboyle joined the channel
# 23:20 tantek going to try documenting a few other citation styles to see if there are common patterns that we can extract for re-use as indieweb citation conventions. davida joined the channel
reidab aaronpk: does the indieauth prompt on indiewebcamp.org really only work with the root of a domain?
singpolyma you can just link to your profile page from your root
tantek and adactio.com is a real world live example (which has been tested with RelMeAuth, e.g. the prototype at http://tantek.com/relmeauth, and works great)
