ooh, XHTML+RDFa 1.1! I was waiting for th---oh, wait, no, I wasn't.
#
pdurbin
in other channels it's vi vs. emacs ;)
#
barnabywalters
XHTML is still a thing?
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: any idea what the easiest way to consume dbpedia data is?
#
neuro`
xhtml 2.0 FTW
#
barnabywalters
I thought xhtml5 = html5 with more slashes and double quotes
#
barnabywalters
but prefer calling it xml-compatible html5
bnvk joined the channel
#
neuro`
Weh should use pure XML and trust end users to provide nazi valid markup.
#
neuro`
Sorry.
#
XgF
tommorris: The new version of XHTML(1.1)+RDFa1.1 is just folding in errata...
#
tommorris
ah okay, XgF
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: yeah, SPARQL
#
barnabywalters
that’s the easiest? hm, okay
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: tell me what you need and I'll rustle you up a SPARQL query
#
tommorris
SPARQL is pretty straightforward
#
tommorris
Write query, POST to endpoint, get back XML/JSON/whatever
#
tommorris
you can even get back an HTML document with a <table> ;)
#
barnabywalters
okay, cool. basically I’m looking for cities with a latitude/longitude within a particular band

#
barnabywalters
awesome, golang’s remote package fetching and importing allow you to use your own domain in code but host code on github! nice
#
barnabywalters
so I could host a package at github.com/barnabywalters/go-mf2 but use "import waterpigs.co.uk/pkg/go-mf2" in my code
#
barnabywalters
programming languages with indieweb support built in — that’s pretty cool
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: modify to your heart's content. post to dbpedia sparql endpoint
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: fantastic, thanks!
#
tommorris
who knew 'England' was in London
#
barnabywalters
^ this is the truth
bnvk joined the channel
#
XgF
Aww, IRC truncated your URL :(
#
tommorris
yeah, SPARQL is pretty much a case of popping the query in the form, submitting it and then you can use the URL to get it again in the future.
#
XgF
I'm looking forward to this stuff data landing directly into wikidata in the future. No need for DBpedia to scrape arbritary markup
#
tommorris
Indeed.
bnvk joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
okay sparql is pretty nice. I’m a little confused about things like http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/CitiesAndTownsInDenmark as types though — isn’t that mixing vocabulary and data?
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: yes. Yago and Dbpedia are shitty vocabulary wise
#
barnabywalters
ah, turns out http://umbel.org/umbel/rc/City was what I was looking for
#
tommorris
I'm wishing SPARQL had the ability to use subclasses.
#
tommorris
if it's a subclass, Liskov substitutability should apply.
#
barnabywalters
in this case, I can always run a query for City and then another for Town or Village or whatever if I don’t get enough results the first time round

hi barnabywalters
#
michel_v
I'm looking at indieweb messaging, and thinking it's a perfect candidate for a cms plugin. has a wordpress plugin been done for it yet?
#
barnabywalters
which version of indieweb messaging? IIRC that term’s been used for a couple of different things
#
barnabywalters
I doubt anyone’s done a wordpress plugin yet so feel free to dive in and give it a go
#
michel_v
I see it's different now, thanks
#
barnabywalters
ah yes that is the other one — aaronpk it might be worth updating that blog post to link to the new indieweb-messaging spec
#

#
barnabywalters

(view diff)
#
barnabywalters
I’d be interested to get the opinion of someone who knows stuff about security of the security-by-obscurity indieweb messaging idea
#
barnabywalters
especially seeing as oauth-secured resources are effectively the same thing (very long URLs)
#
aaronpk
heh kinda
#
aaronpk
access tokens are essentially security by obscurity, but it's acceptable for sufficiently long access tokens
#
aaronpk
also most of the time access tokens expire which helps them be more obscure
#
barnabywalters
how long is “sufficiently” long?
#
aaronpk
128 bits is usually considered to be un-guessable
#
barnabywalters
and would the webmention have to be sent over HTTPS to avoid the URL being sniffed?
#
barnabywalters
or intercepted or whatever the term is
#
aaronpk
yeah definitely
#
michel_v
barnabywalters: very long URLs if you allow using providing the token in the query string
#
barnabywalters
michel_v: we’re talking about GETting resources more than changing them I think
#
michel_v
barnabywalters: I never allow that in my APIs because then it ends up in proxy logs, in browser history, etc
#
barnabywalters
michel_v: what is the alternative? cookies?
#
Loqi
the alternative is writing a microformats
#
michel_v
yes, but you can GET them with an Authorization header
#
aaronpk
access tokens in query strings is generally a bad idae

anyone familiar with the NaCl crypto libraries?
jgraham909 joined the channel
#
wardn
you can use it sorta like ssh for http... generate the pub/priv keys on each end and use your keys to encrypt the transports
#
wardn
the nice thing is that you have client authentication built in
#
wardn
sorta like github's ssh key handling
#
barnabywalters
wardn: client auth built in? how so?
state joined the channel
#
wardn
the client generates their public key, sends it encrypted to the server to be enlisted
#
wardn
the server verifies it... and accepts it as valid
#
wardn
from there all communication is encrypted using a shared key generated from a public key/nonce

Was wondering: do you guy sometimes publish on silos information that you don't wanna POSSE because you believe they're not worth keeping outside the silo's context?
#
tantek
neuro` I've posted on G+ complaining about G+
#
tantek
general category of: post on a silo complaining about that silo. your other friends probably don't care about it, and if the silo disappears then so do your complaints.
#
tantek
(should that be an FAQ?)
#
neuro`
I think it should
#
neuro`
There are many things I published on Twitter I don't realy want to display on my site.
#
tantek
like what?
#
neuro`
Maybe I can just avoid displaying them
#
neuro`
but keep the data anyway
#
tantek
or you can be like aaronpk & barnabywalters and put them in a /notes subdirectory
#
neuro`
That's what I already do.
#
neuro`
I think my problem is that I tweet too much :)
#

barnabywalters - no notes here: http://waterpigs.co.uk/

barnabywalters
I was going to hide replies but I like my in-stream reply contexts too much :)
#
barnabywalters
tantek: there’s not much of anything there
#
tantek
barnabywalters - the point is you isolate your recently published streams by post-type
#
neuro`
I was asking that question because since yesterday, Publify is able to display short statuses in the main blog feed. And I realize many of my tweets are not worth the front page.

neuro`: some silos I only publish on: comments on github issues (although sometimes I put those on my site first), comments on instagram photos and facebook updates
#
barnabywalters
well, kinda. it’s debatable what “post type” even means, since I use notes for almost everything
#
aaronpk
also I have my most recent 3 notes (not replies) on my home page
#
tantek
neuro` I've wanted a similar feature but for checkins. I.e. this checkin is not worthy sending push notification to my friends.
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk does actually have different stuff under different directories

I think I'll start unpublishing every tweets from my blog but 2-3 recent longer statuses I like, but keep the data in the database anyway and rethink my publishing policy.

#
tantek
neuro` you could add an option to your publishing flow that records whether a status update is "[x] front-page-worthy"
#
tantek
keep it in you /notes archives, but only show the "front-page-worthy" updates on your home page
#
barnabywalters
tantek: I went to a restaurant a while ago and, after queuing for several minutes, was refused water. I left pretty quickly :)
#
tantek
barnabywalters - hopefully you made a note of that in your checkin post
#
barnabywalters
I’m actually pretty sure it’s illegal to not serve water
#
barnabywalters
tantek: no checkin posts back then :)
#
barnabywalters
as in the past I’ve managed to make train services give me hot water for free
#
barnabywalters

#
neuro`
tantek: I thought about it too, but this will deeply change the existing, which I don't want. I need to rethink this on a software level.
#
tantek
the existing?
#
neuro`
Yes. Adding statuses only took a few LOC because we had a very extensible publishing model. But having that "worth displaying" option will break all our internal logic.
#
neuro`
Time to sleep, have a nice day.

good night neuro`

wardn
when I saw that I mentally substituted "existence" for "the existing", which I think is deeply profound
#
tantek
as in, what if posting a status update changed your actual status?
#
wardn
and could that be something that could be changed at a software level
jgraham909 joined the channel
#
tantek
wardn - much of people consider part of their identity is effectively software. The APIs are just not very well documented.
#
wardn
tantek: ... or exist at all. But that's the point right? To give them back control of their identity?
#
wardn
create the APIs
#
tantek
hopefully with a decent permissions model

bret - ironically, I think the in-person (regular) events distinguish this community from every other similar attempt previously or since.
#
bret
is there any other way? :p
#
tantek
it's about the people more than the protocols. and it's about real people in-person more than any online forum.
#
tantek
bret - every other similar effort (e.g. monocultures) is doing purely online only.
#
tantek
possible exceptions: WordPress has regular WordCamps in various cities, Drupal has regular DrupalCons and DrupalCamps.
#

Well, layout wise this is all I can do right now: http://indiewebcamp.com/User:Bret.io/Main_Page

not done, have to go back to work unfortunately :(
#

more than fixing, redoing

for anyone just showing up, the guides don't make much sense as a set, nor the order presented.

I'm thinking something that can fit right onto the main page

ill think on it some more
#
tantek
ah, that's a good idea. looking forward to what you come up with.
#
tantek
read up on IndieMark as well
#
bret
I read through some early iterations of that page
#
bret
need to revisit it
#
tantek
I've continued to iteratively improve it
#
tantek
I have more thoughts on how to continue doing so
#
tantek
Level 0 and Level 1 are pretty solid. Working on solidifying Level 2+
#
bret
what level is your site at? :)

i need to add a search field
#
tantek
for Level 1, y es
#
bret
no posse, but I really should for github issues
#
tantek
I've almost got Level 1 - I need to add web actions for all my posts (right now only my articles have a post/tweet button)
#
tantek
and as part of adding that, I have to document the specifics of how and why to do so on the /webactions wiki page, so that others can more easily do so as well.
#
bret
There still seems to be some uneasiness with the web action solution.. who was I talking to about that?
#
tantek
I'm kind of forcing myself to document the steps I'm personally taking on Falcon, on the IndieWebCamp wiki, as I take them, to enable others to reimplement quicker than I did.
#
bret
i think aaronpk still was sort of on the fence about some things
#
tantek
which part of the solution?
#
bret
he was talking about his preference for bookmarklets
#
tantek
web action <action> tags aren't for you - they're for other indieweb users to click / use with their own browser (extensions)
#
aaronpk
tantek: yeah I'm on the fence about whether that's even a good idea
cldstr joined the channel
#
bret
Right, after the osfw3c, It seems like in order to get the UX flow that silos have, we have to do something like web actions, be depending on others is never good as having a solution that works everywhere
#
aaronpk
i have bookmarklets in my bookmark toolbar, and now I can use them to reply to *any* URL even if the page has no concept of being replied to
#
tantek
aaronpk - the reason it's a good idea is it helps your site and your permalinks become a better (more complete) replacement for *other* users who are used to having all those buttons on say Tweet permalinks.

tantek
a lot of the design/ux we do on the indieweb is driven by doing the right thing for our friends to read and use our content
#
tantek
e.g. that's the whole point of POSSE
#
tantek
web action buttons are there for a similar reason
#
tantek
let me see if I can find the Zeldman tweet on this from years ago
#
bret
it seems like it will still have to depend on having a solution that works no matter what, like a bookmarklet.
#
tantek
bret - the solution that works "no matter what" is having a fallback to silo-specific-action-buttons
#
tantek
for whatever silo you posse to
#
tantek
and if there is no such silo, then yeah, maybe the fallback is nothing?
#
bret
hrmm
#
@zeldman
.@glenda @kevinmarks @t If I want to reply to t's tweet, I can't do it from his site. I have to back-button back to Twitter. Lotta clicks.
#
tantek
so that's the key use case
#
tantek
one of my friends who reads me from Twitter happens to click through on the permashortlink to my post, reads the full post on my site, then wants to reply, and ...
#
tantek
should be able to click "reply" right there on my site, rather than clicking back to go to Twitter and replying there.
#
aaronpk
that makes sense. but how does having the <action> tag help in that case?
#
aaronpk
seems like he needs a twitter button in order for that to work
#
tantek
aaronpk - other way around
#
bret
there was some crossover with the social api and action tags right? I'll go search around for it
#
tantek
I'll have Twitter reply button <a href>
#
tantek
and then *because that is there*, I'll wrap that Twitter-specific <a href> in a generic <action>
#
tantek
which then enables things like Barnaby
#
tantek
Walters's web action hero toolbelt
#
tantek
clearly needs to document this on the "Why" section of Web Actions
state joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk - e.g. you already have a "Retweet" button on your notes, like http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2013/08/14/1/gmail
#
tantek
and a FB Like button
#
tantek
you should wrap each of those individually with the respective <action do="repost" with="http://..."> and <action do="props" with="http://...">
#
Loqi
I agree
#
tantek
thanks again Loqi :)
#
Loqi
you're welcome
#
tantek
that's all you have to do to make webactions work on your site
#
bret
aaronpk: Loqi agrees, you have no choice now
#
Loqi
yeah!
#
aaronpk
that seems reasonable
#
tantek
Otherwise, why do you have Retweet and Like buttons on your posts?
#
tantek
and once you're convinced (for any reason) to have silo-specific buttons on your posts, you should definitely wrap them in indieweb-generic <action> tags.
#
tantek
to be clear - I'm not advocating for adding any more silo-specific buttons than you already have for whatever reasons you decided.
#
tantek
I'm saying that if you have such buttons, you should wrap them in generic <action> tags.
#
aaronpk
that is reasonable
#
aaronpk
what if you do not yet have silo buttons?
#
tantek
ok if we all end up with different sets of action tags / silo buttons inside - based on personal preferences for UI/UX and whatever silos we choose to POSSE to (already a personal preference)

#indieweb / #indieauth idea: automate forgot password / enter new password flow to support “log in with email address”
(twitter.com/_/status/371040935150252032)
#
tantek
aaronpk - we should figure out what a minimal recommended silo button set is, for each silo that you choose to POSSE to.
#
tantek
the whole point to start with is to support readers who are coming *from* the silos you've POSSE'd to.
#
tantek
make them feel at home (even more comfortable) on your own site, than they do on the silo they came from.
#
bret
I block silo buttons with adblock, even when I was using more silos
#
bret
tracking beacons I tell you!
#
aaronpk
could show the appropriate silo button based on the http referer :)
#
bret
trixy hobbits
#
tantek
bret - for well designed silo buttons (e.g. Twitter), you can block *just* the javascript, and then the <a href> silo button links still work, without any tracking unless someone chooses to click the link
#
tantek
aaronpk - YES! "show the appropriate silo button based on the http referer"
#
tantek
(genius approach to mitigating some of the NASCAR / button-slut problem)
#
aaronpk
always render the <action> button for user agents that support it, and *add* a silo button if the visitor came in from a silo
#
josephg
I've setup chrome to block 3rd party cookies
#
josephg
- which I'm quite happy with, even though it breaks a disappointing number of sites
#
bret
aaronpk: on a side note, do you know anything about the portland code school?
#
bret
really josephg? I have not noticed that much breakage from that
#
aaronpk
bret: what is portland code school?
#
bret
i guess no :)
#
tantek
aaronpk - that conditional showing of silo buttons could even be done in clientside javascript.
#
aaronpk
oh yeah true!
#
tantek
because non-JS useragents certainly do not care about silo buttons
