fmarier: hi. I love Mozilla. Libravatar sounds very interesting. I'm wondering if Persona supports SAML
#
fmarier
pdurbin: no, it doesn't support SAML, it's a new protocol that's designed to be very minimal
#
pdurbin
ah. oh well. my users want SAML/Shibboleth
#
pdurbin
fmarier: do you know Amy Rich or Sheeri Cabral?

#
pdurbin
or Christian Heilmann?
#
fmarier
pdurbin: yes, i know Christian and Sheeri
#
fmarier
but not Amy
#
pdurbin
fmarier: can you ask Brendan to start up http://www.aminutewithbrendan.com again?
#
fmarier
pdurbin: have you tried pinging him on Twitter?
#
pdurbin
heh. no. I guess I should :)
#
tantek
welcome fmarier!
#
tantek
great to see you here :)
#
fmarier
tantek: thanks :)
#
fmarier
tantek: you'll be pleased to know that I finally run a Persona IdP on my own domain :)
#
tantek
WOOHOO!!!
#
fmarier
and I've convinced joey to add support for Persona in ikiwiki, so soon my blog will have it too
#
tantek
fmarier that's great to hear
#
pdurbin
fmarier: ikiwiki?!? my favorite! http://wiki.greptilian.com :)
#
fmarier
i also setup libravatar on my domain just so I could include it on the indiewebcamp guest list
#
fmarier
pdurbin: yeah, ikiwiki is awesome :)
#
fmarier
i moved my blog from Blogger to branchable.com and haven't looked back since
#
pdurbin
fmarier: think joey will ever re-write it in haskell? ;)
#
fmarier
actually i did look back with horror wondering why it took me so long to switch :)
#
fmarier
pdurbin: i doubt it :)

"Everyone should own and control their data. So when you make a web site on Branchable, we don't lock you in. You can use git to download the entire source code of your web site at any time, and move it elsewhere if you desire." -- http://www.branchable.com/about/freedom/
#
tantek
fmarier - perhaps add a section for libravatar in indiewebcamp.com/projects#production
#
tantek
Branchable sounds worthy of a article too
#
tantek
is it a blog content host like blogger?
#
fmarier
tantek: it's an ikiwiki hosting company
#
fmarier
so they host wikis and blogs
#
fmarier
all their code is agpl and they let you use your own domain

eschnou: tantek left you a message 9 hours, 10 minutes ago: - great to hear it. thanks for evaluating the comments markup brainstorming. use-case for the same page u-in-reply-to is applications/sites that may subscribe to the comments as a feed, perhaps mix them in with other comments/entries. keeps the context.
#
Loqi
eschnou: tantek left you a message 9 hours, 9 minutes ago: the same page in-reply-to url is not critical, but I think it is a simple/good pattern to help encourage extracted data to be self-contained in general.
#
Loqi
eschnou: tantek left you a message 8 hours, 41 minutes ago: decided to write-up your Q&A - let me know if this covers it: http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-brainstorming#Use_case_for_same_page_u-in-reply-to
#
eschnou
!tell tantek ok, so I can reuse the markup for my 'latest comments' widget in the sidebar and they will self-contain the reply-to, makes it easy to get a feed of my latest comments just by parsing the homepage. Cool :-)
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
tantek
I'm here :)

#

tantek, I thought it was the middle of the night on the west coast :-)
#
tantek
it is just past midnight yes - but that's relatively early sometimes
#
eschnou
tantek, yeah, I would code all night if I didn't have to wake up so early the next day :-)

bret I've heard of buddycloud before but haven't looked into it too deeply
#
bret
it looks similar to diaspora kind of
#
tantek
indeed "buddycloud is an open source, distributed social network"
#
bret
ie everyone just run this project and we will be good
#
tantek
monoculture
#
tantek
perhaps it's time to start an antipatterns page
#
bret
i have been looking into the feasability of getting gh-pages to be a little bit less static. It looks like its possible todo PuSH with gh-pages hosted stuff, maybe its not to hard to get webmentions working too?

"One of the fundamental problems for the #indieweb is that running a production system on today's web is not for dilettantes. Self-hosting involves self-maintenance. Most normal people don't have the discipline, the time or the secure software that allows them to safely do this." --Ade Oshineye
#
pdurbin
dunno if folks here had seen that thread yet
#
tantek
pdurbin fascinating thread
#
tantek
just from glancing - my guess is an out of date wordpress install
#
tantek
(one of the reasons why nearly everyone in #indiewebcamp has abandoned wordpress for their personal blog)
#
pdurbin
I definitely agree with the sentiment of running Jekyll or ikiwiki or what have you
#
tantek
pdurbin, indeed a few indiewebcamp folks run Jekyll http://indiewebcamp.com/projects#Jekyll
#
tantek
most of us however have started writing our own semi-static solutions: http://indiewebcamp.com/projects#experimental
#
tantek
pdurbin - thanks for the link. commented.

#
pdurbin
tantek: I saw. great. now to link them back here
#
pdurbin
tantek: I'm not sure I agree with you saying, "note that all of us who decide to walk the path of building our own solutions have chosen POSSE over PESOS" ... I'm considered building solutions based on PESOS
#
tantek
pdurbin - interesting - will be good to have another perspective - looking forward to seeing when you've got your site up & running with whatever solution you're building.
#
pdurbin
what I if post to Twitter and Google+ and collect all my posts with https://www.thinkup.com and use ThinkUp's API to pull the content out and post it to my own site?
#
tantek
sure - has all the disadvantages already noted (vulnerable to their downtime, TOS, etc.)
#
tantek
and you lose permalink control
#
tantek
that's probably the biggest personal motivation - I'd rather have people link to the original on my site (and be able to easily discover it) rather than silo copies
#
tantek
with PESOS you're still dependent on silos
#
tantek
POSSE treats silos as a "nice to have" rather than a dependency
#
pdurbin
well, I could consider the permalink to be the final resting place on a domain I control after it's been processed by ThinkUp and the app I haven't written yet :)
#
tantek
thus it's more independent, more indieweb
#
tantek
nah, the permalink is what people link to
#
tantek
doesn't matter what you theoretically consider it to be
#
pdurbin
I have no control over what people link to
#
tantek
PESOS encourages people to link to silos
#
tantek
POSSE encourages people to link to your site
#
tantek
in that way, yes, you do have some control
#
tantek
links to silos rot and die
#
tantek
witness Upcoming, Posterous, just days ago
#
pdurbin
I don't have ads on my site. I don't particularly care about hits to it :) ... I'm more interested in spreading ideas :)
#
tantek
I'm more interested having hypermedia / hypertext work over time
#
tantek
= links that work
#
tantek
= links to my site, not silos
mxuribe joined the channel
#
tantek
spreading ideas to me means hypertext that works
#
tantek
otherwise you might as well just post PDFs
#
tantek
dead-end documents
#
pdurbin
sure. Hypertext Style: Cool URIs don't change. - http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html ... as I'm sure you've seen
#
tantek
right
#
tantek
and POSSE URLs have greater longevity than PESOS silo URLs
#
pdurbin
is that always true?
#
pdurbin
in http://twit.tv/show/triangulation/98 Brewster Kahle of http://archive.org talks about the average lifespan of a website. it's shockingly short. people aren't always good about keeping their content up for long
#
tantek
pdurbin - as long as your site is zero maintenance when you're not adding content (e.g. static / semi-static), then all you need is a small living trust to keep paying the DNS / hosting fees.
#
pdurbin
mmm, zero maintenance
#
tantek
static / semi-static site = zero worry of slashdot / reddit / HN / Digg etc.
#
tantek
databases are for sysadmin hobbyists
#
pdurbin
sure. could do something like http://ec2.forpoets.org
#
pdurbin
they're both down for me :(
#
pdurbin
ironically ;)
