good evening everyone

When fetching http://timapple.me, we got this problem:

parzzix
Any ideas?

Loqi the problem with the indie web is that it still doesn't answer how it all interacts the reason facebook and silo based sites are so popular is due to the intergration and ease of use - the indie web really only fills a niche of techy's and for people who have specific rationale for setting up a site for the rest of people they prefer having a third party in control of there content

Yeah I think you meant to mention me instead of Loqi?
#
Haxxa
didn't mean to relay anyone really just posing a point of view seeingwhat people in this channel think of it and why...
#
ShaneHudson
You are right that indie web isn't ready for everyone yet. But (and there is a page on the wiki somewhere), we are just the first step. In the same way Harvard was the first step for Facebook. And we already have Known, which is a great starting place for non-tech people

ShaneHudson
Our job is to make the software and plugins (be it Wordpress, Craft or whatever) so that it is simple for everyone else further down the line
#
Haxxa
How do you see it integrating though? Does not having your own data away from a central place limit intergration and the useful of this data - googles buiness model for example is solely based on making useful connections between data and a lot of that would not be possible if the data was not in their control
#
Haxxa
Is the indie web a push away from industry cloud?
#
ShaneHudson
Google are absolutely able to make connections between data they do not own, they started out as a search engine after all
#
ShaneHudson
It is in a way a push away from industry clouds, although we all have differing reasons for why we do it.
#
ShaneHudson
Often it is down to having seen so many companies pull sites that we use (see http://anomalily.net/the-indie-web-is-the-new-zines)
#
Haxxa
Could you see facebook dying and taking data with it?
#
Haxxa
again playing devils avocate here trying really to gather why indie web is important
#
ShaneHudson
Facebook are massive. But so was GeoCities, MySpace, Bebo... I doubt it will happen anytime soon, but definitely possible.
#
ShaneHudson
It is important because it is important in different ways for each person.
#
alanpearce_
You can think of indieweb as having a backup of all your data. Only you know it already works, because it's on your own site.
#
ShaneHudson
Some people might not care about sites closing down, but (as in Lillian's case) they may be censored on social networks etc
#
ShaneHudson
And for others, it could just be a great way to get back to their own personal site. I know I had barely touched mine in years until joining indie web :)
#
alanpearce_
Me neither. I owned my domain for several years before I did anything web-based with it.
#
Haxxa
Do you host using VPS or shared hosting or just from home?
#
ShaneHudson
VPS at the moment (I need to find a cheaper option though, one of my sites has grown larger than expected)
#
Haxxa
I really like to host from home but I only have 2.5 mbs upload which might not be a good idea
#
alanpearce_
I use a VPS now. If I had better internet at home, I would host there.
#
Haxxa
this ^^^^^
#
ShaneHudson
There is no reason you can't host on a VPS but have the canonical versions at home, just for your access
#
alanpearce_
Haxxa: if your site is (made) cacheable, you could use something like cloudflare to speed things up
#
ShaneHudson
Then you have a real-time backup against VPS going down
#
alanpearce_
ShaneHudson: Which provider are you with?
#
ShaneHudson
Krystal.co.uk
#
Haxxa
It's more that I don't want to pay for a VPS and the fact I could transfer files much quicker :)
#
ShaneHudson
But I already pay extra for 100GB storage and needing extra RAM, so trying to work out what to do
#
alanpearce_
Haxxa: You might consider looking at /hosting , lowendbox is a particularly good cheap option.
#
alanpearce_
I pay Ā£12/year for each of a couple of VPSes
#
ShaneHudson
I've never trusted VPSes that are that cheap lol
#
alanpearce_
Some work really well.
#
petermolnar
for VPS, digitalocean is cheap & nice
#
alanpearce_
I've only had one bad one really, and I've gone through about five offers
#
rascul
digitalocean is quite good i've found
#
alanpearce_
Heroku or openshift could be free, depending on data storage and stuff.
#
petermolnar
for a full blown server, check this, in case you're in the EU: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market
#
rascul
http://soyoustart.com has lower cost dedicated servers too
#
ShaneHudson
DigitalOcean looks far too expensive if I want a lot of storage
#
Haxxa
I had a VPS provided to me for 3 years and I shared it with friends until my friend thought it was a good idea to use it as a seedbox and get my vps seized . grrrrr
#
Loqi
gives ShaneHudson a lot of storage
#
ShaneHudson
Thank you Loqi
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
alanpearce_
ShaneHudson: https://backupsy.com/ is good for storage :)
#
Haxxa
Otherwise I use lowendbox a lot
#
Haxxa
see whats around
#
ShaneHudson
petermolnar: That is very tempting... but how reliable? I like being able to just phone my host, but if they are based in Germany it would probably be harder
#
Haxxa
Anyone know is it common for registars to buy domains after you've used it - I don't want to pay renewal fees which are why to expensive
#
Haxxa
*if
#
petermolnar
I've been using it for 1.5 years
#
petermolnar
not a single issue
#
Haxxa
I want to buy using a different registar
#
petermolnar
disk needed to be replaced, it took ~1h downtime
#
petermolnar
nothing else
#
rascul
Haxxa if you don't renew the domain they usually take over it when it expires
#
ShaneHudson
Haxxa: It has certainly been known
#
ShaneHudson
petermolnar: Hmm this is very tempting
#
Haxxa
but they are charging crazy renewal fees!
#
petermolnar
there's a single limit: atfer 10TB/month you'll be reduced to 10Mbs
#
alanpearce_
Nice provider there rascul++
#
rascul
Haxxa gandi and namecheap are both good registrars
#
ShaneHudson
What is the whole reduction thing? Is it like an auction for servers?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "the whole reduction thing? Is it like an auction for servers" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=the+whole+reduction+thing%3F+Is+it+like+an+auction+for+servers
#
ShaneHudson
petermolnar: That shouldn't be a problem
#
petermolnar
it's getting lower and lower up until a certain price
#
petermolnar
I got that machine for 29E / month :)
#
Haxxa
rascul opinion what should I do - I am using crazy domains
#
Haxxa
I dont want to pay renewal fees
#
rascul
if you don't pay, you can't keep the domain
#
rascul
typically it's charged for a year at a time
#
rascul
you could see what gandi or namecheap charge to transfer though if you're unhappy with your current registrar

fax-to-personal-website gateway? HELL NO :D

Hey, it'd be great for sketching. Draw something, fax it in.
#
petermolnar
that's a fair point, still NO :D
#
tommorris
https://www.hellofax.com/ + Dropbox API = way to have a number to fax into and get the bytes to you in a reasonable way
#
tommorris
Alternatively, a service where you can call in and have your website faxed back. :)
#
petermolnar
that's one strange hobby :)

tommorris
I joke but fax integration is something I've looked into for client work. Because I work for people who work for sadists.

If you are doing document management, being able to push a button and have the document faxed to someone in rural India is useful.

Would it be worth splitting the entire server into two VPSes or lots of small VPSes?
#
ShaneHudson
(we are splitting the payments between two of us)
modem joined the channel
#
alanpearce_
Two definitely
#
alanpearce_
More would be up to you
#
alanpearce_
Lots of people like to split their dedicated servers up more, but it just depends on how much you want to deal with configuration management systems and the like
#
ShaneHudson
Does having more make it harder?
#
alanpearce_
Well, it's effectively the same as having more machines
#
petermolnar
try docker or pure lxc for virtualization
#
ShaneHudson
alanpearce_: So harder to customise but reduces the risks each site has to the rest?
#
alanpearce_
Pretty much, yeah.
#
ShaneHudson
petermolnar: I was looking at lxc, have heard of docker but never used
#
alanpearce_
Well, not harder, really
#
alanpearce_
Just more tedious.
#
petermolnar
lxc is surprisingly easy to set up
#
petermolnar
docker is a bit hipster
#
alanpearce_
Multiple machines to log in to, etc.
#
alanpearce_
Or use a configuration management system like SaltStack or ansible
#
ShaneHudson
If we split into two, how hard would it be to make a third later?
#
petermolnar
if you set LVM up, and do not allocate all space, it will be easy
scor joined the channel

and by the time you were done, it helps you delete/shutdown the FB identity

I think part of the interest in ello is the novelty of reconstructing a follow graph, as people haven't done that in a few years
#
tantek
I think the limited "invites" system is also part of that game
#
KevinMarks_
right, the gmail playbook
#

tantek probably want to allow other signins and ports as well - don't want to paint the target too big for FB ...

bret___: AV should be fine, but sure if you want. the only issue we had last time was we had only one camera rolling.
#
dietrich
i'm going to hook up w/ our office coordinator later to figure that out
#
tantek
dietrich - cool let's just use the Vidyo setup

I think the issue with the idea of an indieweb reader+follow model that exported data from facebook & then shut your FB identity is that they've shut down services before that delete your profile for TOS violations
#
tantek
got it. then the key is to make it all undoable.
#
tantek
and perhaps simple setup POSSE to that FB by default
