thanks shaners!
#
shaners
:thumbsup:
#
tantek
makes me wonder, do we have a media / video or interviews page on the wiki for this kind of thing?
#
twoshot_
saw this place on flipboard
#
tantek
In case people want to watch videos about the indieweb?
#
twoshot_
sounds really cool
#
shaners
to the wiki!
#
tantek
welcome twoshot!
#
twoshot_
thank you :)
#
shaners
hello twoshot_ ! welcome.
#
twoshot_
thanks shanerr
#
twoshot_
shaners*
#
tantek
we have a bunch of cool screencasts / animated gifs too from aaronpk, barnabywalters, and benwerd showing indieweb awesomeness
#
twoshot_
cool, where can i find those
#
tantek
twoshot - exactly the problem we're trying to solve :)
#
twoshot_
oh haha
#
tantek
well let's see we have a page on Posts about the indie web
#
tantek
so ...
#
shaners
twoshot_: let's start at the beginning. what's your personal URL?
#
twoshot_
i don't have one

tantek
what brought you here?
#
twoshot_
flipboard
#
shaners
twoshot_ you saw the wired article?
#
twoshot_
i stayed away from web for a very long time, sticking to desktop applications. i'm driven by utility, and i didn't have any use for the web. now i'm very interested in learning web better
#
twoshot_
i guess the wired article was linked to on flipboard shaners
#
shaners
ok. that's your #indieweb step one. get a domain.
#
tantek
do you use the web to communicate with friends?
#
twoshot_
yeah, fb and gtalk and whatnot
#
twoshot_
shaners, i'll work on it
#
shaners
the indieweb is about publishing your content on your own site first.
#
tantek
twoshot - why and how do you use FB?
#
shaners
for example: blog posts, photos, videos, events, bookmarks, etc
#
twoshot_
i don't use it much. i get on and like a few posts every once in a while. mostly i just chat with people
#
twoshot_
shaners, and then what
#
shaners
and then: you can *syndicate* copies off elsewhere (if you wanted to), like Facebook, twitter, etc
#
shaners
you can also, comment or reply to other #indieweb sites directly from yours, instead of replying on twitter/facebook
#
shaners
you can start to use your URL as your identity. either as just a short way to say "here, find me online at [your domain].com" and also to login to things (like the indiewebcamp wiki)

I got a free SSL cert from startssl and I'm running stud in front of my varnish instance (which is on port 80)
#
josephg
the hard parts were figuring out how to make the right .pem file for stud (turns out I just needed to cat together all the certificate files I had)
micflan joined the channel

aaronpk - too unobvious - hence that request is to put a link in the top right corner of every page - as the home does
#
tantek
looks for a UI pattern references that shows that login links go in the top left (like EVERY site has pretty much ;) ) and can't find any such UI pattern reference because web search still sucks
#
tantek
er, top right
#
tantek
and with that time to step away from the keyboard :)

is there a [semi]standard api design/app for posting tweet-length messages to personal sites for syndication?
#
rknLA
i.e. tweetbot convenience that posts to an endpoint that i own?
#
cweiske
so you tweet on twitter, the bot posts that on your homepage?
#
rknLA
cweiske: other way around. you post to your homepage through xApp and your server does its syndication thing.
#
cweiske
many people here do that
#
rknLA
cweiske: right, but from what app?
#
rknLA
shaners showed me the trick where you can change the API endpoint for Twitter's iOS app, but is that the API "standard" that folks are using?
#
cweiske
so you want to a) use an existing twitter client to post to your homepage
#
cweiske
and then b) copy that tweet to twitter
#
rknLA
effectively, yes. i don't really care whether it's a twitter client or a client for some other app, but that's the gist.
#
rknLA
i am particularly interested in using an existing app so that i don't have to write my own or write my own webapp
#
cweiske
then the most easy way would probably be using a self-hosted identi.ca instance
#
cweiske
it's like open-source twitter, and it probably is supported by some clients
#
cweiske
err, status.net it's called nowadays: http://status.net/
#
cweiske
IIRC, it has a twitter bridge

rknLA: what brought you here?
#
rknLA
actually, tantek somehow wound up accidentally mentioning something in #thisismyjam,
#
rknLA
so i started poking around #microformats, and found my way over here.

#
Loqi
rknLA meant to say: so i started lurking around #microformats, and found my way over here.
#
shaners
ah. grool.
#
rknLA
asked this while you were out. sorry for everyone who already saw it, >> is there a [semi]standard api design/app for posting tweet-length messages to personal sites for syndication?
#
rknLA
cweiske pointed me at status.net
#
rknLA
do you have any other thoughts?
#
shaners
rknLA: your domain is great because it's also a short URL
#
shaners
well, you've already got rel-me on your GH link on your homepage. which means you're able to login to http://indiewebcamp.com using your url.
#
rknLA
yeah, i started poking around with that after yxyy
#
Loqi
yea!
#
shaners
oh Loqi. you minx.
#
rknLA
i should probably file an issue or submit a pull request, but i ran into an indieauth issue when the domain was a redirect to rknla.github.io
#
rknLA
i was surprised to see loqi here and in #microformats,
#
Loqi
fo sho
#
rknLA
though i guess not too surprised,
#
rknLA
loqi and i know each other from #geoloqi
#
Loqi
yeah!
#
shaners
rknLA: you should def file an issue against aaronpk/indieauth
#
shaners
i think aaronpk is aware of that issue already though. we talked about this when i was in pdx.
tantek joined the channel
#
shaners
but can't hurt to file it.
#
Loqi
tantek: shaners left you a message 8 minutes ago: i feel like login links are always top right, not top left.
#
rknLA
shaners: gotcha
#
tantek
shaners - yes of course. that's why I decided it was time for me to step back. :)
#
tantek
hence the "er, top right"
#
shaners
ah jeez. i glazed right over that. :/
#
shaners
maybe *I* need to back away from the keyboard. :D
#
shaners
rknLA: next moves for your site: you can add an h-card to your homepage. you already have the right content there. just need some classes on some things.
#
rknLA
i need to read up on hcards,
#
rknLA
and also actually make a homepage.. that template/content is so old
melvster joined the channel
#
rknLA
shaners: do you just scan this by viewing source, or do you have tooling?
#
shaners
it'll just take you a few minutes to add the hcardy bits. you don't have to you do the Grand Rewrite™ to add it. ;)

bret is building bret.io all on GH pages so far
#
shaners
static doesn't preclude one from doing an #indieweb site. ;)
#
cweiske
tantek, http://tantek.com/relmeauth/ doesn't like my rel=me link to https://github.com/cweiske/ - "None of your providers are supported"
andreypopp joined the channel
#
rknLA
indeed. i just copied the files that github compiled over to my own server to get around that redirect issue.
#
shaners
cweiske: what's your domain?
#
rknLA
bret.io looks pretty thorough
#
cweiske
cweiske.de
#
cweiske
maybe it's the slash at the end
#
rknLA
i have mine in an <a
#
rknLA
does it work in a <link ?
#
shaners
i think tantek's relmeauth site is a little out of date. link[rel-me] was a recent decision.
#
shaners
indieauth.com might be supporting it.
#
cweiske
I don't want to have an <a> link to github on my homepage
#
cweiske
this is why I chose <link> in the head
#
rknLA
seems like a reasonable choice!
#
cweiske
indieauth.com does not support <link>
#
cweiske
only <a>
#
cweiske
there's an unfixed issue open
#
shaners
i think link support is coming. it's a very recent decision.
#
tantek
cweiske, shaners, sorrym my relmeauth test deployment is still broken since Twitter's OAuth/API update :(
#
cweiske
I only wondered why it doesn't like my github link
#
cweiske
that shouldn't have to do with twitter
#
shaners
cweiske: if it's just an appearance thing, you can temporarily use an a[rel-me] with a style="display:none"
#
shaners
which will hide it to human eyes, but not google crawlers
#
tantek
cweiske - yeah, I think folks are leaning towards supporting <link rel=me>
#
cweiske
tantek, I changed the github link and removed the /, but it still doesn't like it
#
cweiske
None of your providers are supported. Tried https://github.com/cweiske.
#
tantek
cweiske - I don't know of any <link rel=me> support *yet*
#
cweiske
tantek, but your relmeauth demo apparently finds the github link
#
cweiske
ah. it does not like the https
#
cweiske
with http, I get further:
#
cweiske
Was expecting a 200 and instead got a 301 Was expecting a 200 and instead got a 301 None of your providers are supported. Tried http://github.com/cweiske
#
rknLA
oh shit, G5/microformats2 is you gys
#
rknLA
*guys,
#
tantek
sorry - cweiske - yeah it needs some updates :(
#
rknLA
slash gals
#
tantek
hey rknLA - welcome!
#
rknLA
tantek: thanks!
#
rknLA
(slash mostly jlsuttles)
#
tantek
rknLA - nice clean home page design
#
tantek
would be great with some h-card!
#
rknLA
tantek: -stole- borrowed it from github!
#
rknLA
yeah, shaners mentioned that.
#
tantek
yeah? if the one you got it from on github is also about a person, we could submit pull requests to add h-card upstream
#
shaners
rknLA: yes. the G5 mf2 gem, i started and then jlsuttles really built the most of it.
#
rknLA
tantek: it's a template they provide automatically for gh-pages..
#
rknLA
looks like the parts i'm using for h-card style things are not explicitly for those things?
#
cweiske
did the indieauth supports here ever thought about the issue that all implementations always need to support all the services that are currently hip? when github dies tomorrow, applications become broken when shipping their own indieauth implementation.
#
Loqi
SUPPORT ALL THE SERVICES http://loqi.me/7o8
#
rknLA
cweiske: i have been wondering similar things related to verification vs. validation.
xrchz joined the channel
#
rknLA
i'm assuming indieauth does validation based on cookies, otherwise there's only verification?
#
cweiske
there is no continuity. when I use openid, I can be sure that if I have my openid provider still running in 20 years, I can log in to my legacy app that uses openid log
#
tantek
cweiske - indeed it is a challenge for relmeauth providers
#
cweiske
with indieauth, it may be that I can't log in because the supported providers have long gone
#
tantek
cweiske - no - it is the same (worse problem) with openid
#
cweiske
tantek, explain
#
tantek
supported provided can go away in *either* case
#
tantek
whether oauth provider, or openid provider
#
tantek
same difference
#
cweiske
tantek, no
#
tantek
EXCEPT
#
cweiske
I can host my own openid provider
#
cweiske
all openid providers speak the same protocol
#
tantek
relmeauth - it is MUCH easier to setup multiple providers
#
tantek
and change any time you want
#
tantek
whereas with an openid provider - too hard to setup fallback
#
tantek
multiple providers, XRDS nonsense
#
cweiske
my webapp only supports a handful of providers. so if they go down, and I can't get updates to my webapp to support new providers, i'm lost
#
tantek
cweiske - yes we need to add self-hosted OAuth discovery to relmeauth - that's for sure
#
tantek
so you can be your own OAuth provider
#
tantek
also - indieauth takes this a step further
#
tantek
and let's you *pick* which indieauth provider you want to use
#
tantek
so as long as webapps support distributed indieauth - it will work fine - all you have to do is switch your indieauth provider
#
cweiske
tantek, still - every app that brings its own indieauth implementation is limited to a number of providers
#
cweiske
tantek, it's not "indie" if you have to rely on indieauth.com
#
tantek
cweiske that's right. the indieauth protocol fixes that bottleneck
#
tantek
(that's fairly new - just written up last week)

(twitter.com/_/status/368264942656700417)
#
cweiske
so I can say which indieauth server I want to login with?
#
rknLA
huh. i have my contact info split across a couple of elements on my site.. double h-card?
#
tantek
rknLA - make the whole page one h-card
#
tantek
<body class="h-card">
#
rknLA
that thought crossed my mind...
#
rknLA
seemed like a bit of a hack..
#
tantek
because after all - the page does represent you
#
tantek
so it makes sense to mark it up as such from the body down
#
tantek
not a hack at all

trying to log in to indiewbcamp.com, it seems to be taking forever saying 'Finding rel="me" links on http://xrchz.net'
#
cweiske
try` https
#
neuro`
It may have a hard time either accessing the site (no problem from me) or parsing the rather simple html.
#
xrchz
i did try putting in https and that was stripped off
#
cweiske
maybe endless loop
#
cweiske
http -> https redirect -> strip off s -> http -> redirect
#
xrchz
yeah that seems likely
#
xrchz
so it seems indiewebcamp redirected to indieauth.com to do the login
#
xrchz
what is broken here? the implementation on indieauth.com, or the protocol?
#
cweiske
indieauth.com implementation
#
cweiske
please file an issue on github
#
rknLA
xrchz: in my experience, indie auth has a bug with redirects, and curling your domain responds with a 301 Moved Permanently
#
rknLA
cweiske xrchz: i already filed this a little bit ago. https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/issues/25
#
xrchz
rknLA: cheers
#
rknLA
oh, yeah. derp. i didn't read the redirect url.
#
rknLA
probably worth noting that in the same issue or a new one.. not sure if they're caused by the same thing, but they sound related.
#
cweiske
the stripping-s-from-https issue sounds differently

cweiske meant to say: the stripping-s-from-https issue sounds different

stripping the s sounds different, not adding it back in sounds similar.

or wait, do you mean they used my image?
#
benwerd
they used your image. these folks: http://meshu.io/
#
aaronpk
oh! yeah cool, i've talked to them a bit
#
benwerd
took a (not great) photo, will upload now
#
benwerd
actually, the photo didn't come out at all.
#
benwerd
was fun to see though.
#
neuro`
tantek: thank you. Finally made it storing the whole tweet so we can reuse the leftover information someday.
#
benwerd
(also, nice idea they have.)
#
aaronpk
hm this is a good use case for storing all my tweets as emails so I can quickly find my twitter conversation with them
#
tantek
aaronpk - why not just search on your own site?
#
neuro`
Now finishing the RT integration, Microformats on default theme, and I'll start implementing Web mentions
#
aaronpk
cause search is hard :(
#
aaronpk
also i don't remember if it was a public convo or DMs
#
conzeit
Hello all....you're talking way over my head
#
tantek
neuro` are you implementing POSSE of RT? i.e. http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter#POSSE_Reposts_of_Tweets
#
conzeit
anybody got time to give a little advice to a newb?
#
tantek
benwerd - did you ask them if they do non-Mercator projections? ;)
#
benwerd
tantek - I did not, but now I wish I had ;)
#
benwerd
actually, that combination makes me wonder about personal map projections - distort the world according to your past experiences
#
neuro`
tantek: native RT on Twitter + display of the original tweet the way I display reply to context on my own site.
andreypopp joined the channel
#
tantek
welcome conzeit!
#
benwerd
maybe a little too far along on the narcissism scale, to actually distort the world
#
tantek
how did you find us?
#
aaronpk
benwerd: I've been wanting to make a "personal projection" map for a long time
#
neuro`
tantek: waiting for my co maintainers for some insigths of the best way to implement the indie web site to indie web site on our existing code
#
tantek
benwerd - I'd ask for a globe extrusion.
#
tantek
no projection necessary
#
aaronpk
benwerd: no, not narcissistic, that's how people actually think about the world, in terms of their own experience
#
benwerd
aaronpk: you are absolutely right. I was being flippant (again) - I'd really love to see that
#
benwerd
similarly, for a long time I've wanted an atlas designed to be written all over, like a notebook
#
tantek
conzeit - feel free to ask away - one of us will hopefully answer :)
#
shaners
mumble the map is not the territory mumble
#
tantek
aaronpk - yes, search is hard - which is why I'm still using Google as my search provider on my site.
#
tantek
shaners - it's not a map, it's using coordinates. math, geometry, no big :)

tantek
neuro` I'm not sure what you mean by " display of the original tweet the way I display reply to context on my own site" for something that is a retweet. sounds confusing.
#
tantek
I think the way sandeepshetty displays reposts is quite clear.
#
neuro`
tantek: I think I have 2 ways doing it:
#
tantek
more experimentation welcome of course
#
neuro`
1. use the old style RT on my site + push a RT on Twitter
#
tantek
as indie reposts/retweets are still a very new area
#
tantek
I like sandeep's blockquotes.
#
neuro`
2. display the original post like it appears on my Twitter timeline on my site + push a RT on Twitter
#
tantek
both sound like interesting approaches
#
tantek
perhaps post some mockups?
#
tantek
(i.e. to the brainstorming section on the repost page on the wiki)
#
neuro`
OK, let me code something, I'll be back in a few hours :)
#
neuro`
Oh, mockups, yeah, will be faster indeed
#
tantek
I mean, feel free to whatever is faster for you :)
#
tantek
but if you're looking for visual feedback, mockups welcome :)
#
neuro`
This to display a RT on my site after Pushing it to Twitter
#
neuro`
Maybe I'll use the second one and display quotes of an indie web site post the same way
#
conzeit
alright sorry I wasnt expecting any response so I ilded
#
conzeit
ok, I've got some experience with linux and whatnot, but I'm an artist and I've never really set up a server or anything.....is it necesary for me to set up a server to have an indeweb ident?
#
tantek
conzeit - there are plenty of non-server-setup options.
#
tantek
neuro` - looking ...
#
tantek
the 2nd one looks much more like a quote/retweet of someone else's content rather than your own - so I think it more accurately shows what is going on
#
tantek
pretty slick
#
tantek
I like the way you incorporated both the date-time of the original post and the date-time of your retweet
#
tantek
(except I'd use ISO 8601 dates of course ;) )
#
conzeit
it seems the best way short of having an actual server is paying for a hosting service, right?
#
tantek
yes - that's what most of us do
#
tantek
a simple shared virtual host is sufficient - that's what I personally have for example.
#
conzeit
what is that, something like lamp?
#
Loqi
that is quite the teaser
#
tantek
conzeit - typical hosting setups provide a LAMP stack yes.
#
tantek
the key is Apache (or similar)
#
tantek
for the web server
#
conzeit
ok
#
tantek
the "MP" part of LAMP is not so essential
#
conzeit
I think you're talking over my head again :p
#
conzeit
you're suggesting requirements for the hosting service right?
#
conzeit
I've done some looking into this sort of option since watching eben moglen speeches, and I found about LAMP. I thought it was just a simple service to run a host on your own computer
#
conzeit
desktop, usually non server computer
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: LAMP refers to a “stack” of related bits of software working together to serve a web app
#
barnabywalters
most of the time it refers to Linux (the operating system), Apache (the web server), MySQL or any other database/storage system for putting data in, and PHP or Python (programming languages in which you write web apps) and
#
conzeit
I see
#
neuro`
tantek: I'll go that way yes. Will reuse this schema for every citation related content http://t37.net/files/resource/1240/Capture_d__cran_2013-08-16___20.07.33.png
#
neuro`
And Publify lets you chose how you want to display the date ')
#
conzeit
Ok, I'm mostly confused about this. is a"a simple shared virtual host" something you run on your desktop pc, or something you put in a hosting service? that is, is tantek having a pc run 24/7 in his house or is he paying someone to do that?
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: a shared virtual host is when you pay a company to host your files, application and data on their machines
#
barnabywalters
typically they handle server setup and such things
#
conzeit
ha, ok I feel silly now =)
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: no problem :)
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: maybe talk to benwerd about hosted indieweb software? I believe he’s wanting beta testers for hosted idno.co
#
conzeit
Iidno.co is a hosting service?
#
benwerd
conzeit: not as such, but I've been giving people hosting who want to try it out but don't have the server to install it themselves
#
benwerd
I'm also talking to hosting providers for a more permanent solution
#
conzeit
or...a protocol or what? :p
#
benwerd
oh, it's a platform
#
benwerd
it's what I run at http://werd.io
#
conzeit
that looks cool
#
benwerd
thank you!
#
conzeit
hoooly shit do you really drink that much coffe? I'm colombian and I'm horrified XD
#
barnabywalters
is anyone actively using camlistore or go for indiewebby things/any other personal projects?
#
neuro`
benwerd: like the way you display short posts, looks really clean
#
benwerd
conzeit: I was also horrified when it turned up, if it makes you feel any better ;) that was La Boulange in Novato this morning
#
conzeit
ha, ok
#
aaronpk
i had a latte in that bowl a few weeks ago
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: another indieweb piece of software which I believe can be fairly easily installed is http://storytlr.org/
#
benwerd
neuro`: thank you! I'm actually particularly proud of how they look on mobile. want to experiment more with the card layout (cc KevinMarks2)
#
conzeit
cool, do these federate to twitter and whatnot?
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: pretty sure storytlr can go both ways
#
barnabywalters
with a variety of silos
#
benwerd
idno POSSEs to twitter, facebook, flickr & foursquare
#
benwerd
storytlr does go both ways with a bunch (direction depending on the silo)
#
barnabywalters
e.g. eschnou (who wrote storytlr) pulls content in from flickr and youtube
#
conzeit
cool. I was in diaspora and I was apalled to see how little compatibility it actually had....then I went to friendica and that didnt seem to do that much either...only from friendica out to silos anyways
#
tantek
benwerd - nice La Boulange shot indeed
#
tantek
amazing how similar each location is
#
tantek
it's almost as if they were chain, perhaps even owned by a larger chain ;)
#
barnabywalters
conzeit: you and me both :) I used diaspora for ages but got frustrated with it — I ended up writing my own software, and recently imported all my content in from D*
#
conzeit
it's frustrating when you go to those networks how you lose everybody on the silos
#
benwerd
tantek - ;) I wish they'd go ahead and import the food across into Starbucks already.
#
benwerd
conzeit: I've actually, weirdly, had more interactions on Facebook since I started POSSEing to it (I'm about to implement a selective copy button, finally, because I worry that I'm bombarding people - I know other people have disabled the Facebook plugin)
#
tantek
benwerd - they have into some downtown starbucks
#
conzeit
cool
#
tantek
e.g. Starbucks at Howard & Spear (nearest to @MozSF)
#
conzeit
so POSSE is two way. it's not just getting updates from fb/witter
#
benwerd
tantek - good to know
#
barnabywalters
benwerd: selective copy? as in only some posts or only parts of posts?
#
tantek
conzeit - nope. POSSE is one-way updates -> TO FB/Twitter
inimino joined the channel
#
conzeit
oh ok
#
barnabywalters
PESOS is silos -> your site
#
benwerd
barnabywalters: only some posts. right now I'm not being selective at all (although I disable facebook as a whole sometimes, when I know I'm going to be high volume)
#
tantek
benwerd, next time you're by MozSF we can check it out
#
benwerd
barnabywalters: ... which is, as has been noted, not a million miles away from spamming
#
benwerd
tantek: sounds good
#
conzeit
yeah I'm reading =) just a little slow :p
#
barnabywalters
benwerd: I got tired of the API being so slow and now only POSSE some posts, manuallu
#
benwerd
yeah, the photo API in particular is hellishly slow
#
benwerd
actually, the video API is worse, but I'm not touching that for idno
#
barnabywalters
also back when I first implemented it they were changing the way long lived tokens worked and I couldn’t figure out how to get one which lasted more than a few hours
#
barnabywalters
so I had to re-sign in every time
#
benwerd
that's been sorted out, thankfully. did have the same problem back in the day.
#
tantek
benwerd - speaking of video API, I stubbed this page - please feel free to add any thoughts on indie video (or POSSEing) going through your head: http://indiewebcamp.com/video
#
benwerd
so many
#
benwerd
rolls up sleeves
#
tantek
exactly, start braindumping to lighten your load :)
#
tantek
loves braindumping to the wiki as a way of paging stuff out of local RAM.
#
barnabywalters
so tantek is dumbledore now?
#
conzeit
=) it's great to know there's a network of smart people actually doing things right now
#
barnabywalters
removing thoughts from brain to external storage to lighten the load and make room for new ones
#
tantek
wait, dumbledore does that? citation?
#
conzeit
I think he fishes thoughts out of his head with a wand doesnt he?
#
barnabywalters
hm, maybe it was more specifically for *memories*, although exactly how that’s different to a thought I have no idea
#
tantek
whoa cool
#
conzeit
the hp series wasnt altogether bad ;p
#
conzeit
SO
#
conzeit
what hosting service+ registar do you guys reccomend?
#
conzeit
I have a wordpress with like 2 postsright now, I suppose I'd port that :p
#
bret
barnabywalters: ozten was talking about eventually doing something with it
#
conzeit
dropbox? wasnt the cloud like pure evil or smth? or is that just for crazy freedombox folks? :p
#
bret
barnabywalters: camlistor that is
#
bret
the cloud isn't evil if they aren't doing evil things, and you own your data
#
bret
however you should be aware of the power structure of your relationship with 'the cloud'
#
bret
like, could your cloud provider that you are using suddenly be a jerk and you can't get any of your data back?
#
neuro`
conzeit: Cloud is OK if they don't make you give up your data ownership and actually provide a way for you to get them
#
conzeit
ok
#
neuro`
conzeit: but most API are actually only business lures, not openness
#
barnabywalters
all in all Dropbox is one of the better ones
#
barnabywalters
especially as the canonical copy of your data is the copy on your hard drive
#
neuro`
conzeit: you'll mostly hear them called "silos" here
#
barnabywalters
neuro`: hm, I contest whether or not Dropbox even fits the definition of a silo
#
barnabywalters
you can always see your data and remove it, it’s accessible via a well documented API and (if public) via plain old HTTP
#
neuro`
barnabywalters: I'm not talking about dropbox, but about services that won't let you own your data
#
bret
I'm starting to dabble in puump.io
#
conzeit
also, are you guys aware of the Lima kickstarter? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cloud-guys/plug-the-brain-of-your-devices
#
bret
i like it, but its definitely larger than I will ever fully understand
#
conzeit
it's like the propietary solution to privacy, supposedly PRISM proof
#
conzeit
doubt it does hosting though, just stores your files across pcs
#
conzeit
I mentioned it in the freedombox list and they said just being propietary ruins it
#
bret
propietary… PRISM proof?
#
neuro`
conzeit: something like freenet?
#
conzeit
not really
state joined the channel
#
conzeit
if you install it in your pc it overrides your file system and put is it all in the box they give you, the "lima"
#
conzeit
but now you can access it from any device that has "lima" installed
#
conzeit
it's weird
#
aaronpk
"We replace the memories of your devices by Lima, so all your devices can have exactly the same contents at all times."
#
conzeit
but it's way overfunded olready...I think people might gravitate to that
#
aaronpk
"There's no dedicated folder where you have to move your files into. All your files are on Lima, from the files on your Desktop to the files in your Movies folder."
#
conzeit
yep.....
#
ozten
bret, barnabywalters: ya, I've got camlistore NodeJS wrappers, but the backend of my app is still using text files
#
neuro`
And who own your files?
#
conzeit
I can see the difference, but most folks might not :p
#
aaronpk
i'm curious how they handle negotiating all the connections between devices without running a service somewhere
#
Loqi
NEGOTIAT ALL THE CONNECTIONS http://loqi.me/7oS
#
conzeit
XD
#
aaronpk
neuro`: the files are all on a USB drive you plug in to their device
#
bret
ozten: way cool!
#
barnabywalters
ozten: nice
#
aaronpk
also it seems like this would require a solid internet connection at home and from any device at all times
#
conzeit
I think it would....
#
aaronpk
ah they have an ipad app for viewing
#
aaronpk
so that also means you're locked in to their app update cycle
#
conzeit
they only said anything about opensourcing if their company crashed and burned
#
bret
I like the concept, I don't think I would start using it myself
#
aaronpk
cool, it's neat to see someone trying this approach
#
conzeit
What happens if CGC dies ?
#
conzeit
What’s good with Lima is that it’s entirely private and decentralized. So Lima can work independently from any servers, and continue managing your data even if our startup dies (disclosure: we don’t plan anything like that).
#
conzeit
The only thing we manage on our side of the equations are updates of our app and the web interface of Lima. In case of company crash, we’ll do our best to open source at least the most critical parts of our code, so the community continues improving the solution every night.

for indieweb purposes, all we need to do is be as good as the silo you're using to post your video right now

tantek
wherever that is, for each of us

"truly support HTML5 web video" is nice but not really the indieweb tipping point

#
tantek
I think web video has in general been plagued by making it seem too hard to do anything
#
tantek
and silos/apps are coming in and showing that even with crappy/minimal web video support, people still find them useful/compelling
#
barnabywalters
tantek: what are your personal requirements/desires for a video posting UI?
#
tantek
so let's admit to that, and let that be the bar for indie-video
#
tantek
barnabywalters - the mobile use-case is a big one
#
benwerd
definitely agree with that - the trick is actually getting them off the device
#
barnabywalters
tantek: interestingly I had assumed that implicitly
#
benwerd
a web uploader could work with vine-length videos
#
tantek
input type=file doesn't give you camera / photo / video library access?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: on mob. safari, yes
#
tantek
benwerd right
#
tantek
so that's my point - the pieces are in place
#
tantek
mobile safari yes, Firefox on android yes.
#
tantek
what's the minimum viable indie video?
#
benwerd
(chrome on android yes also)
#
benwerd
right, so a video that's of a length that you can feasibly upload
#
tantek
so perhaps that's worth noting
#
tantek
as a use-case / scenario etc.
#
benwerd
dives back in
#
barnabywalters
is audio the only differentiator between these short (e.g. 6 second) videos and gifs?
#
tantek
benwerd - would be nice to focus on minimum possible / useful use-case and design rather than a reference on the sad state of web video?
#
benwerd
tantek - heh, sorry, I may have unloaded too much baggage ;)
#
tantek
barnabywalters - know anyway to "capture" an animated gif?
#
benwerd
rejigging
#
tantek
benwerd baggage is fine - but more for a latter reference section :)
#
neuro`
barnabywalters: sound and real time capture to upload
#
barnabywalters
tantek: there was some js I saw to do that…
#
barnabywalters
not sure how well it would perform on mobile devices
#
tantek
cool - worth adding to the page once benwerd is done rejigging it :)
#

barnabywalters
Loqi: well, that dealt with that
#
neuro`
Loqi: I don't take videos. Not even cat ones.
#
Loqi
dude
#
barnabywalters
typically when I want to post a moving image I don’t want sound too
#
tantek
barnabywalters - screencasts with voiceovers?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: that’s a different thing to a moving image
#
barnabywalters
in my mind at least
#
tantek
just thinking of more recent real world use-cases of stuff "we" (as a community) have posted recently
#
tantek
barnabywalters - speaking of which - add your screencasts/agifs here: http://indiewebcamp.com/videos_about_the_indieweb
#
barnabywalters
and I would count the rainbow vine you posted earlier as one too
#
tantek
yeah, like that first one!
#
rknLA
does anyone else in here have experience with Digital Ocean? I'm using them and linode right now.
#
barnabywalters
as opposed to a “video” with sound/voiceover
shaners joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
which I do occasionally but much more rarely
#
tantek
barnabywalters - would love to see a write-up about how you post your screencasts
#
tantek
create/post
#
barnabywalters
tantek: specifically which, the short ones or longer? or both?
#
tantek
but those are clearly "video" posts IMO
#
barnabywalters
that’s a good weekend task
#
barnabywalters
tantek: the short ones? really?
#
tantek
I consider moving-images as a subset of "video"
#
tantek
from a post type classification perspective absolutely
#
barnabywalters
when watching the two different types, I want completely different UIs and behaviours
#
neuro`
barnabywalters: i definitely love that way of building a screencast... need to do it for Publify actions
#
barnabywalters
e.g. moving pictures don’t have sounds, typically loop
#
barnabywalters
don’t need controls
#
barnabywalters
emphasis on actions to be taken on the content
#
barnabywalters
whereas video needs controls, no autoplay, fullscreen
#
barnabywalters
who wants to see a gif fullscreen?
#
neuro`
well, lolcats make good screensavers
#
tantek
barnabywalters - I'd like to be able to pause / frame-by-frame your agifs
#
barnabywalters
rknLA: no flash :(
#
barnabywalters
tantek: they are quite fast
#
tantek
exactly
#
tantek
anyone know video upload limits for Facebook or Youtube?
#
barnabywalters
something like hover/click to toggle playing, or actual scrubbers?
#
barnabywalters
youtube varies
#
barnabywalters
at first limited to 10 mins, then upped to 15, then unlimited IIRC
#
neuro`
tantek: youtube is limited to 10 hours iirc
#
tantek
barnabywalters, neuro` - can you note that here? http://indiewebcamp.com/video#Silo_Support

really the browser should provide a default UI for agifs at least - like even right-click pause/play etc.
#
barnabywalters
neuro`: then how do you explain… *this* http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4REFKL/
#

or space-bar pause/play if you happen to be at the .gif URL

#
barnabywalters
I’d love to build something like that but I doubt there’s an API for controlling gif playback
#
tantek
so because barnabywalters is hosting these agifs at his own domain, I'm going to call them examples of indieweb video posts
#
tantek
thoughts?

barnabywalters
woot — even thought I somewhat disagree that they’re video ;)
#
Loqi
yay!
friedcell joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
this guy faked gif controls, but it requires a bunch of server side stuff and you can’t frame-by-frame or even pause properly: http://quickleft.com/blog/embeddable-animated-gifs-with-controls-just-in-time-for-christmas
#
barnabywalters
good grief, this one works as a bookmarklet! http://slbkbs.org/jsgif/
#
barnabywalters
tantek: that might be a temporary solution for you, as it should work on mobile devices too
#
barnabywalters
and I’ll have a look at the code and see if I can build it into my website
#
shaners
barnabywalters tantek: i have video posts on my site as well. http://sbb.me/v videos, proper (no direspect, barnabywalters)
#
shaners
i'm with barnabywalters. i think they're different post types.

barnabywalters
shaners: oh yeah I remember we discussed this — you’re self hosting them properly right?
#
barnabywalters
in multiple formats?
#
shaners
just mp4
#
benwerd
(alright, screw it. I'm going to implement video posts too.)
#
barnabywalters
benwerd: judging by previous performance it’ll be done in about 10 minutes
#
barnabywalters
how do you set a Loqi timer again?
#
benwerd
barnabywalters: I'm at work right now (believe it or not) so it'll be a while. But it'll actually just be an addition to the photo plugin.
#
shaners
my current batch of videos is manually PESOSed in from vine and youtube (in time, vimeo, flickr and instagram too)
#
shaners
benwerd: are you gonna use h-media markups for videos?
#
tantek
shaners - is h-media useful?
#
neuro`
Time to sleep. Brainstorm well.
#
tantek
sleep well neuro`
#
shaners
is it NOT useful? ;)
#
tantek
how is it useful?
smus joined the channel
#
shaners
i figure, i'll use it. if other people / tools want to discover my media that way, they can.
#
neuro`
tantek: thank you, will try, or I'll be tempted to implement webmention before the sun rises.
#
shaners
it's sensible enough classes. so i just through it in there. at the very least, it won't hurt.
#
barnabywalters
this is quite neat, the posting flow would be tricky though: http://www.sublimetext.com/~jps/animated_gifs_the_hard_way.html
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: "2 hours until stuff"
#
tantek
10 minutes until benwerd is done with implementing video posts according to barnabywalters.
#
Loqi
I added a countdown scheduled for 8/16 2:29pm (#5240)
#
benwerd
wait what
#
benwerd
I'm eating a burrito
#

barnabywalters: i also plan on implementing oembed for my photos, videos and audios

#
tantek
shaners what's the use-case for supporting Oembed?
#
aaronpk
tantek: I post "videos" to my site as well, in the form of a note with a link to a .gif or .mp4 http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2013/08/10/2/indieweb and http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2013/04/25/1/original-post-discovery
#
shaners
tools can auto discover your embed code to add your media on another site
#
aaronpk
it's not really a video type, it's just a note with a link, and my rendered HTML puts a player inline
#
tantek
aaronpk - the animated gif is self-hosted so that counts
#
aaronpk
so is the mp4
#
barnabywalters
504 hours until indiewebcamp uk tomorrow!
#
Loqi
I added a countdown scheduled for 9/6 2:26pm (#5241)
#
tantek
ah, indeed it does
#
aaronpk
which is embedded with the <video> tag
#
tantek
shaners - I have - it's horribly out of date
#
shaners
sure. but still works.
#
tantek
"works"? where?
#
rknLA
we still use oembed for our twitter cards at rdio
#
barnabywalters
oembed was never likely to be really viable for indieweb sites as most people who implemented it whitelist the providers
#
shaners
yes, pownce is in their example. but the story is the same.
#
aaronpk
I unfortunately implemented an oembed consumer for soundcloud in order to embed players in my site
#
Loqi
benwerd is done with implementing video posts according to barnabywalters.
#
benwerd
is done with his burrito
#
rknLA
burrito, implementing video posts... same thing, right?
#
benwerd
I marked it up with the h-delicious tag
#
aaronpk
benwerd++
#
Loqi
benwerd has 7 karma
#
barnabywalters
h-review, surely ;)
#
benwerd
the burrito itself was not a review

that would be disgusting :P

so who had the earliest "video" post? aaronpk? barnabywalters? permalinks?
#
tantek
(including animated gifs - hosted on your domain of course)
#
barnabywalters
december 2012
#
aaronpk
ooh that probably beats me
#
aaronpk
i don't even think i had my new site up then
#
barnabywalters
ALTHOUGH — it’s actually hosted on dropbox so doesn’t count :(
#
shaners
just checked my github repo. i added videos on 2013-07-07
#
barnabywalters
goes through all gifs he’s posted and self-hosts them
#
barnabywalters
while I’m at it I’ll self-host all the photos from my D* content too
#
tantek
barnabywalters - using dropbox for storage is like using AWS
#
barnabywalters
diasp.org will die eventually

you could abstract it with video.waterpigs.co.uk

feel free to fix the wiki barnabywalters - perhaps leave in a note stating that it was hosted on dropbox when originally posted

they show "dates" on their site. but they're terrible too.
