#aaronpkmissed this from hapgood's article before.... "Ward highlighted for me how schemas — and particularly tight, locked-down database schemas — had killed user innovation."
#npdotybut just wanted to say that I read @aaronpk on IndieAuth with PGP and it took only a moment to add link rel="pgpkey" to my homepage and test it successfully
#npdotywhich is awesome, thanks for implementing that
#KartikPrabhuthanks jden! feel free to try to break it :)
#jdenthe question of threaded comments and comments on comments came up- does webmention forward things on? eg C mentions B which mentioned A, does A know about C?
#KartikPrabhujden: A can choose to know about C by parsing the microformats on the page B
#gRegor`KartikPrabhu: Possible webmention authorship scenario a la checkmention: Site A is a multi-author site and the article links to the author's personal site B. Not sure how to get around it, since the author is unlikely to link to Site A with a rel-me
#gRegor`The only way to verify if that's really Jonny Ive would be if there was a rel-me back to that URL, from his apple.com profile, or some as-yet-undefined (?) "delegation"
#gRegor`"I've written these pieces that appear on other sites."
#gRegor`Which I could see happening with journalists.
#JonathanNealI’m also now interested in site authentication. At first I was looking at xhr.withCredentials but this is unsupported in IE9, which puts a wrench in finding something easily adoptable.
#JonathanNealAs I understand it, some website scans your website, finds a service it mentions, and then asks that service if you are logged in.
#JonathanNealIf this is how it works, then it means we trust, in order 1. some site to accurately read ours without compromise, 2. our site to accurately return some third party service without compromise, and 3. some third party service to return our logged in state without compromise.

#JonathanNealIf I am right in this understanding, I see no reason not to let my own website authenticate me, say, with a JSONP call to /whoami.js that executes whoami(my_data) or requires whatever further authentication methods I prefer for my own site. I control the blanket or selective whitelisting of other sites, etc.
#JonathanNealIs there an indie authentication protocol like this?
#Loqibnvk: binbasti left you a message 1 day ago: yes, that'd be great. i was traveling a lot during the last couple of days, but i should be more available again next week latest
#bnvk!tell binbasti: cool, let's touch base next week then, my traveling & conf speaking whirlwind is just starting :P
#voxpellipfefferle: released a new version of the WebMention Testpinger yesterday – with some added colors and such – any feedback on whether it became better or worse is welcome :)
#pfefferlevoxpelli looks very nice! the colors makes it the output more clear!
#voxpellipfefferle: thought so as well :) It became especially cluttered when I added the timestamps in there otherwise
chrissaad joined the channel
#pfefferlevoxpelli do you have any plans for the verbose feature and/or the delete/update stuff?
#voxpellipfefferle: no concrete plans at the moment – the delete/update stuff will at least happen when my endpoint starts supporting it
#voxpelliI'm currently working on extending other parts of my endpoint
#pfefferlevoxpelli no test driven developement? ;)
shepazu joined the channel
#voxpellipfefferle: unfortunately not ;) It's one of my big points on my list right now: Get automated tests of the endpoint up so that I can discover when I break things – would likely have to be integration tests like these ones rather than unit tests
gRegor` joined the channel
#pfefferlevoxpelli will use your endpoint on my openwebicons site soon… as feedback tool…
#bnvkI'm trying to proliferate some standard icon ideas for encryption / signature state
#pfefferlebnvk ah, got it. I have not discovered an ideal way to contibute to the project yet, but feel free to open an issue and/or provide an svg if you have some ideas
#tantekif you know of any other examples of POSSEing to Github, please add to that section of the wiki!
#jdenit's something i want to work on. i've got this crazy plan to use gists to bootstrap my notes.jden.us page (as a backing store), then using that to POSSE github issues, and then ultimately developing something to move away from gists that's self-hosted
#tommorristantek: possibly with a little URL hackery
#Loqitommorris: tantek left you a message 1 minute ago: is there some way on MediaWiki sites to get the change log for a particular *day* (e.g. using ISODates) ?
#tantektommorris - use-case: I want to link to "changes to the wiki on this day" on every Homebrew Website Club meetup page, so anyone looking at an archived event can go see pages were "active" immediately before/during/after the meeting.
#tanteklikely useful once we start writing up summaries
#tommorristantek: only problem I can think of is that the RecentChanges table is only kept for a certain period
#tommorristhe job queue discards old recent changes entries.
#tommorristantek: for IWC, the answer might be to find (or write) a MediaWiki extension that uses the revision table rather than the recentchanges table
#tommorris(or derive the changes from the IRC log)
#gRegor`tantek tommorris: aaronpk is generating that email weekly (?) of new pages / recent changes, so that could probably be adapted.
#tommorristantek: the reasoning is a weird Wikipedia optimisation - the recentchanges feed on Wikipedia has *so much stuff* in it that it uses a separate database table to hold just the last X days worth of changes rather than the whole revision log
#tommorrisgRegor`, tantek: the data is all there, it’s just MediaWiki exposes it slightly odd for Wikipedianish reasons. ;)
#tommorrisirritations thus far: Amazon S3 does not have any post-upload callback
#tommorrisbeing able to simply dump photos into an S3 bucket and then get a POST callback that triggers things going would be amazingly useful, but alas no.
#kylewmwhen folks got set up with a site at HWC last night, what host did they use? (out of curiosity)
benwerd joined the channel
#snarfedkylewm: the two tantek mentioned were friends of mine who already had a decent start. one on self-hosted wp, one on a homegrown static generator
#snarfedtheir main progress was working through indiewebify.me - rel-me, mf2, webmentions, etc
#gRegor`!tell KartikPrabhu I contact my friend Marcy about possible having HWC at The Living Room space. It's further away from you, unfortunately. http://wearepolymathic.com/events/ Will keep you posted, though.
#LoqiKartikPrabhu: gRegor` left you a message 54 minutes ago: I contact my friend Marcy about possible having HWC at The Living Room space. It's further away from you, unfortunately. http://wearepolymathic.com/events/ Will keep you posted, though.
#Loqiaaronpk: tantek left you a message 2 hours, 13 minutes ago: is there some way on MediaWiki sites to get the change log for a particular *day* (e.g. using ISODates) ?
#aaronpkjden: I've posse'd a few github issues before
#tantekaaronpk - issues themselves or just comments on issues?
#aaronpktantek: there's a good mediawiki API that can return changelogs for specific date ranges, that's how I do this week in the indieweb reports
#tantekI'm assuming "API" in this case means something more than just a query URL?
#kylewmKartikPrabhu: including the new Teahouse theme for the wiki?
#chloeweilYeah, an increase in whitepsace and maybe offsetting the name of the person from the content of what they were saying so that multi-lines of text dont wrap under the name, that’s a detail though
#chloeweilPut in a max width so that the measure of hte text doesnt get too insane and you’ve got a nice reading environment just like that
#KartikPrabhutantek: re: structure. looks good. We might follow that more once we have more than 2 people :)
#KartikPrabhukylewm: the teahouse theme is nice but also too small font size for me. still use it at some zoom.
#chloeweil.comcreated /Slack (+420) "Created page with "People love Slack HQ. They make it clear to see who’s speaking with avatars and whitespace, offset the speaker from the text, make it clear what the person said, and de-emphasi..."" (view diff)
#chloeweiloh god im polluting the wiki with uninformed content
#tantekKartikPrabhu: at least start taking/posting group photos ASAP!
#LoqiTrovebox (formerly OpenPhoto) is a photo application project that lets you store your photos on Dropbox, Amazon S3 or in your garage, and serve them from URLs on your own domain http://indiewebcamp.com/OpenPhoto
#aaronpkKartikPrabhu: do you mean something you can install yourself?
#Loqiphoto brainstorming is a page where indieweb users who are working out how to publish photos on their own site can document design challenges, issues, brainstorm ideas and show examples of photography on the web that inspires them http://indiewebcamp.com/photo_brainstorming
#tommorrisaaronpk: I’m not so much interested in posting on my timeline. I want to be able to easily post photo stories. and each of those stories also has a page for the photo
#tommorrismy user story is basically this: I go out and shoot a parade or a protest or an event. I get home. I put my SD card into my computer. I import a bunch of RAW files. I process them in, well, ideally Aperture but probably Lightroom now Apple are killing Aperture. then I spit out a page with beautiful responsive images that look great on all devices and publish
#tantektommorris - good luck at Indie Tech Summit and see if you can recruit some creators for IWC UK!
#tantekneeds to get his dConstruct ticket and sign up for IWC UK also!
#tommorristantek: yep. my talk isn’t actually about IndieWebCamp - I was going to sneak some IndieWeb propaganda in, but I’m going to talk about cool stuff that OpenStreetMappers are doing
#tommorrisspecifically, the work that the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team are doing to help international aid agencies in crisis response
#tantekKartikPrabhu: makes sense - create a test account just for R&D
#pdurbinI just can't get into Facebook. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough.
#aaronpktantek: I know you have a few places on the wiki which are sort of a "checklist to be better than [facebook,twitter]" but are they collected anywhere nicely?
#tanteksnarfed - FB events used to put a post up for every RSVP "… is going"
#tantekaaronpk - hmm - FB is too feature-rich for now
#tantekWho will be the first to fully implement a functional replacement for all of Twitter features using their own site so they no longer need to touch Twitter UI?
#aaronpkthat or getting everyone to RSVP from their sites to register :)
#KartikPrabhuscreenshotting the whole process: "On the next few pages you'll see some Facebook posts. Above each post there will be a statement and a rating scale. Rate how much you agree with the statement for each post." first question
#aaronpki think instagram is more like photos with captions
#tantekthose of you working on /photo posting support - what approach are you working on? do you see any difference between note+photo and photo+caption?
#KartikPrabhuTwitter has photo + text. now it could be a 1. main text with side photo or 2. main photo + side caption text
#KartikPrabhuthanks FB survey helped me make up mind to leave FB!
#KartikPrabhuFB showed me a bunch of posts from my "News Feed" and asked "I want to see more of this". Turns out I answered "strongly disagree" to all of them.
#tantekKartikPrabhu: you can post up to 4 photos inside a tweet
#KartikPrabhutantek: sure... then I am using it as a text + photos
#KartikPrabhuI am saying that Twitter's post model is flexible enough to be interpreted either way :)
#tantekbut there is no way to just see all your photos right?
#KartikPrabhuthere is. in your profile there should be a "photo and videos" tab
#tantekI think all photos are trapped/nested inside notes in their user content model
#KartikPrabhufor Twitter everything is a tweet... which is good and sometimes not good
#aaronpkso I forgot my Yo password and couldn't find a password reset feature. so I tweeted at them and they said to email support. I emailed support and then like 12 hours later they manually emailed me back with a new password in the email. there is no way for me to change it as far as i can tell.
#aaronpkhow do you mess up user management this bad
#aaronpkI realized that "repost" is basically the author putting some other content into their main timeline with the intent of causing that post to appear to readers
#gRegor`I've always understood MT to be modified tweet, meaning the text was altered somehow. Shortened, link removed, or text altered to make it humorous.
#aaronpkquestion: how would everyone feel about first-time wiki logins being reported here?
#aaronpklike the first time a new person signs in?
#KartikPrabhuaaronpk: surely people who have logged in before don't mind, but might be aggressive for the first-timers, since they don't know to expect it
#aaronpkmight prompt the regulars to congratulate them is what i'm thinking :)
#snarfedmight be a bit aggressive. social norm is that logging into a website is a private action
#snarfedbroadcasting it would probably surprise most people, not pleasantly
#KartikPrabhuyes. but some people might want to just covertly play around with things
#Loqitantek meant to say: however I *do* think they are worth keeping as pages on the wiki, with an indieweb-point-of-view
#tantekthere's just too much overly detailed hard to read docs on stuff like nginx / Apache out there on static non-editable pages and it's futile to try to fix those
#tantekso we should create the simplest / most minimal docs by and for indieweb folks for those
#tantek.comedited /User:Tantek.com (+745) "note highlevel goals: replace all my Twitter/FB usage with my own site instead prioritize a few inbox requests to community actions, move working on further up" (view diff)
#kylewmI like the idea of the oldest content being page 1
#aaronpkif you never back-fill posts then that's fine :)
#KartikPrabhutrue. but i feel. if there is a URL it should be useful :)
#gRegor`How often do you try to share the 5th page of someone's tweets and get frustrated that Twitter doesn't allow you to? :) Not saying it can't be a new indieweb feature... I just don't see much need for it.
#KartikPrabhumaybe if the URL were useful people would use it?
#KartikPrabhui've always felt that x-posts pagination was broken
#snarfedKartikPrabhu: one key point is, if you want page permalinks, they can't have a page number. they need to be a datetime or other global id, like aaronpk uses
#kbs[One thought here is some paranoid gpg users may be reluctant to sign arbitrary text, as it has the potential to lead to forged assertions by the signer]
#aaronpkinteresting, so that means signing that challenge is making a potentially public statement saying "I signed in to this website on this date as this URL"
#aaronpkand that statement can be verified, whereas normally sign-in logs cannot be verified since a service can generate forged logs so easily
#aaronpk(potentailly public because the signer is trusting that the service is not publishing the signed text but has no real guarantee)
