# 00:19 evan so probably in the next month or so
# 00:19 evan we'll have `vektra outpost:apply`
# 00:19 evan which, give some ssh creds, will go into an ubuntu 14.04 instance and install the vektra software on it
# 00:20 evan so you could easily spin up your own VPS and tell vektra to turn it into a vektra instance

# 00:43 GWG It isn't a site with my personal thoughts, like my own site
# 00:43 GWG But I like writing technical discussions sometimes.
# 00:43 GWG KartikPrabhu: I always wanted to have other people write there
# 00:43 GWG I just never found the other people
# 00:44 KartikPrabhu GWG: maybe ask these others to write on their own site and post copies to your tech site
# 00:45 GWG KartikPrabhu: I haven't gotten automatic reposting set. I should.
# 00:45 GWG KartikPrabhu: Will think about that. But I was thinking multi-author h-card issues

# 02:03 GWG xxcoeurxx: We all have different ones
# 02:04 xxcoeurxx the funny thing is that its up and performing nominally for me, but is a hit or miss for everyone else.
# 02:04 xxcoeurxx which is interesting, since the other site i maintain in openshift, is not misbehaving at all.
# 02:05 GWG For example, acegiak and I both run WordPress, so we often overlap on WordPress needs

# 15:47 KartikPrabhu possibly, if you have to make "disclosures" then that is where they'd go
# 15:47 cuibonobo i don't think think the "content" is the issue, but the "context". saying something in a Facebook context is different from saying something in a comment-on-your-website context.

# 15:50 KartikPrabhu cuibonobo: again, if the content being replied to is the same, i don't see it.
# 15:50 KartikPrabhu in fact nothing stops people from backfeeding your comment to the "wrong" post

# 15:55 KartikPrabhu cuibonobo: is this only an issue with silos or would you be hesitant to display a comment I made to your post but on my site?
# 15:57 cuibonobo KartikPrabhu: my issue is with silos specifically. the comments are made in walled gardens and i don't think it matters that a public URL exists or not. 'comment on Facebook' and 'comment on my blog' are different contexts
# 15:59 KartikPrabhu so is Wordpress.com. But in any case, you can make up your own mind about this, I just don't see the diff.

# 16:27 Loqi Welcome, indie-visitor! Set your nickname by typing /nick yourname
# 16:28 ben_thatmust__ It's actually a great way to start it off. rather than loading up on a domain and assuming no one knows to visit the uri until after you have set it up. it just edits the page and puts that one link. enough to start use that first indie auth only
# 16:29 ben_thatmust__ actually scratch that. it would take them two seconds to just set up a Twitter account
# 16:30 ben_thatmust__ my other thought is just do have rel me links stored in a text file. edit that file before you start

# 18:20 davidmead lol kylewm. if ben_thatmust is inventing it how can anyone else test it :-p
# 18:21 KartikPrabhu and documented it, not many support edit though micropub on their sites
# 18:25 ben_thatmust its still rough, i have a lot to do still but ben.thatmustbe.me/new?op=edit&url=<permalinkurl>
# 18:27 ben_thatmust i'm going to reorganizing things quite a bit, plus trying to recognize the type of entry, etc
# 18:30 ben_thatmust aaronpk_ yeah.... those will likely not get support, unless you add it
# 18:34 davidmead I guess I expected your page to pull in the content from the entry when I entered the permalink
# 18:35 ben_thatmust problem with that is that it would have to use JS, which won't work across domains unless your site specifically allows it
# 18:36 ben_thatmust just enter it manually on the page, and it can't do JS to pull the content
# 18:36 aaronpk_ you can just make a server-side thing on your end that fetches the content
# 18:36 ben_thatmust actually, i guess i could do a call back on my own page, and just curl via php
# 18:37 davidmead aaronpk because i’d expect to see the content of the permalink I enter on Ben’s page, so I can edit it, rather than just replace it wholesale.
# 18:38 aaronpk_ davidmead: if you click that link I pasted a few lines ago you see your content that's at your URL like you'd expect

# 20:22 gRegor` I don't know much about micropub, but should the form return something other than 200 if you POST to it and you're not authenticated?
# 20:22 aaronpk_ the problem with non-200 responses is browsers sometimes freak out
# 20:23 gRegor` Well, I'm not sure if it posted or not, but I entered (benign) XSS out of curiosity and hit enter :)
SRCR joined the channel
# 20:25 gRegor` Maybe 401 Unauthorized? What do you mean browsers freak out, aaronpk_?
# 20:26 aaronpk_ so just need to be careful to send browser-appropriate status codes rather than what you might do if you're trying to follow REST
# 20:27 gRegor` Does Chrome do that even if the server specifies a page to deliver for 400?

# 20:33 ben_thatmust hmm, if a form field is turned off in JS by display:none does it still post data in it?
# 20:40 cuibonobo of note: "mobile apps you've installed", "ads you clicked on", "targeting criteria LinkedIn uses to show you ads"
# 20:42 cuibonobo though i presume that what they make available isn't a complete data set because there's also a link to a Data Consent form if you'd like to see more

# 22:08 aaronpk_ leftover from when Loqi was on my private IRC server and we actually cared about usernames
npdoty joined the channel
# 22:09 tantek the fact that there's a difference between usernames and nicknames in IRC is - I just don't even know where to start
# 22:09 aaronpk_ it's weird that username is almost entirely invisible
# 22:10 sparverius i was under the impression that it was designed so that you could be authed as username and then choose different nicks per channel
# 22:10 gRegor` You can have multiple nicks associated with your nickserv username, though
# 22:10 aaronpk_ but it would let you auth as the same username and have multiple nicks
# 22:10 aaronpk_ well nickserv is kind of a bolted-on attempt at adding real auth to IRC anyway
# 22:12 tantek dlyke, has he experienced abuse, or is this predictive chicken-littling? tl;dr?
# 22:13 dlyke He's anticipating.
# 22:13 aaronpk_ props to him for having actually implemented webmention on his site tho!
# 22:13 dlyke But also participating in implementing stuff.
# 22:13 tantek ah, that's a very reasonable combination. implementation + anticipation / heads-up.
# 22:14 gRegor` First (I know of) to implement email notification for webmentions
# 22:14 aaronpk_ "At a minimum I'll be trying to design and code ways of mitigating abuse before it happens on my own web properties, now that I've opened that door."
# 22:14 aaronpk_ pretty sure Known sends email notification of webmentions?
# 22:14 dlyke Yeah, it looks like the same thought process that got me: "I'm going to put this in my site... oh, look, this is exactly like what I did a decade ago, only the names are changed... uh, okay, we'll leave it enabled for now but..."

# 22:15 gRegor` Hehe. I wouldn't call it whining. :) But you're right, his post did come after you'd raised the DDoS concerns.
# 22:15 aaronpk_ I still maintain that separation of spam prevention and the actual webmention protocol is what has led to us making this much progress so far
# 22:15 aaronpk_ otherwise we'd still be debating signed requests vs web-of-trust and other junk
# 22:15 tantek aaronpk, agreed, and hence why vouch is an extension
# 22:17 dlyke Yeah, for all my reticence on this, I like the "build something broken so we have something to fix" approach.
# 22:18 dlyke I'm just concerned that, like the previous attempts, we'll abandon it rather than fix it.
# 22:18 tantek !tell KartikPrabhu re: "looks like microformats are moving towards qualifiers for properties" - nope, no such general rule or pattern AFAIK. All one-by-one based on documented use-cases.
# 22:18 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 22:18 aaronpk_ dlyke: I think we've demonstrated enough value that the chance of abandoning it is small
# 22:18 tantek dlyke - "we'll abandon it rather than fix it." - I think that's not a reasonable comparison, because I've already proposed (brainstormed) "vouch" whereas no such effort occured in previous attempts (Pingback etc.)
# 22:19 aaronpk_ as opposed to the relative value of displaying pingbacks, which was low because there was very little innovation or even attempt at such
# 22:19 tantek Pingback display value was *negative* it added *noise* to a page.
# 22:22 dlyke I think the value in RSVPs is what could give it enough legs to succeed... Speaking of which, I both need to expose it in more than metadata on Flutterby.com, and implement the outbound version on Flutterby.net

# 22:24 Loqi A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, but more and more across sites http://indiewebcamp.com/reblog
# 22:24 bret for me, implementing an edit function is critical for actually storing reply context
# 22:24 aaronpk_ edit hasn't been important to me until just now, because I can publish a placeholder food/drink post from my watch and need to edit it later
# 22:24 bret me? because I was planning on storing them in yaml
# 22:25 aaronpk_ what does editing your original post have to do with reply context and comments?
# 22:25 bret the best way to associate data to a post, is to keep in in the front matter
# 22:26 bret Unless I create some kind of mapping between the post and external files
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# 22:27 kylewm would associating separate files be difficult, bret?
# 22:29 aaronpk_ ben_thatmust: I'm thinking something along the same lines
# 22:29 ben_thatmust i'm going to try to clean up my MP client and put it out in its own repo, so anyone can easily add it in

# 22:33 kylewm for some reason editing the original post to add comments bugs me
# 22:34 tantek kylewm - user edit action vs. micropub edit op?
# 22:35 bret as long as there is a single writer queue, and I use git as a transaction mechanism, risk of losing data is low right?

# 22:39 tantek seriously - ALL of the replies are people suggesting tools that they themselves did not use to post those replies.
# 22:39 aaronpk_ not to mention most of the replies don't actually take into consideration the requirements he lays out
# 22:39 aaronpk_ most people just replied with their favorite new tool they heard about
# 22:39 tantek rather, all the replies with specific tool suggestion(s) - were not made with those specific tool(s). selfdogfoodfail
# 22:40 aaronpk_ this is an example of when it would be useful to have permashortlinks on tweets
# 22:41 tantek aaronpk, most people just replied *talking about* their favorite new tool they heard about, not "with" as in "using" ;)
# 22:49 dlyke tantek, I never bothered to put reply into my Facebook/Twitter interface because it's more crap to do for something that has relatively low value. If I write something large enough to warrant saving, copy and paste to put it into Facebook is totally reasonable.
# 22:49 dlyke Similarly, if I get a good reply, I'll copy it out, but I really don't need every bit of attaboys archived for eternity.
# 22:50 dlyke All of which is a "I don't find it surprising that nobody's doing that, because social media management (vs one way posting) seems like a different problem"
# 22:51 dlyke Maybe that's where I'm seeing it wrong, but I got sick of "whoops, we're gonna deprecate RSS now" and figured that keeping up with the changing APIs there is a no-win game.
# 22:53 tantek dlyke I'm split between Twitter and FB. On Twitter, all my replies originate at tantek.com and have permalinks I own. Just that restructuring of user flow has made me much more thoughtful (and picky) about my replies.
# 22:53 dlyke (And also noticing: Not only did I not "/nick danlyke" on my work machine, none of my replies here are coming from a tool I own...)
# 22:54 tantek whereas on FB, nearly all my replies are made on non-public posts, which a) I haven't figure out how to do that from my own site (Falcon doesn't do any non-public posts), and b) I don't think Bridgy Publish supports POSSEing replies to non-public FB posts.
# 22:55 aaronpk_ just realized now that this channel has a web interface for chatting, it's not out of the realm of possibility of POSSEing IRC messages from my site to here
# 22:56 tantek aaronpk yes! now if only one of our posting UIs was as seamless, quick, and responsive as *any* IRC client.
# 22:57 tantek why is the irc/today?beta#bottom web interface better than the posting UI of any of our own sites? how do you explain that? ;)
j12t joined the channel
# 22:58 danlyke Yeah, when I first set up Flutterby.net, I used Emacs and files stored in a git repo, because Emacs has wiki mode... Eventually I cobbled together web UI, which is awful and kludgey. Now I primarily use the web UI. ugh.
# 22:58 tantek irc/today?beta#bottom is an *integrated* reading/publishing UI!
# 22:59 tantek so that's a reasonable challenge - who will be the first to have an integrated reading/publishing UI - at least for notes/replies - *as good as* and *as simple as* /irc/today?beta#bottom ?
# 22:59 tantek particularly ironic for you aaronpk since you built it!
# 22:59 cuibonobo but i don't think there are many indieweb readers at the moment

# 23:00 danlyke Huh. "indieweb readers" as a software tool. Is there a tool for that yet that'll replace my What does that mean aside from RSS aggregator?
# 23:00 cuibonobo ok. my point was, an integrated reply UI makes the most sense on a reader
# 23:01 aaronpk_ do you think of twitter.com or facebook.com as a reader?
# 23:01 emmak i've been using an integrated reader on my site
# 23:01 tantek danlyke - haha - lol at framing a *user* tool in terms of *plumbing*
# 23:02 aaronpk_ emmak: sweet! got any screenshots? would love to see that
# 23:02 Loqi A reader (or indie reader) in the context of the indieweb is the portion/feature integrated into an indieweb site that provides a way to read content from other indieweb sites, possibly including posts from the current site as well http://indiewebcamp.com/reader
# 23:02 cuibonobo in the context of facebook and twitter, your 'site' is your profile page, while the feed is your reader
# 23:02 emmak no screenshots but you can see the actual feed
# 23:03 danlyke Well, the big challenge with Facebook and Twitter is blocking people for particular subject matter. Not so much of a problem on blogs, not so many sports fans there, but why doesn't the reader tool put together the participants in the conversation?
# 23:03 emmak when logged in, it shows reply/like/repost buttons under the posts
# 23:03 tantek cuibonobo - I didn't say integrated *reply* UI - that's far too limiting
# 23:04 tantek I said integrated reading/publishing UI - quite deliberately.

# 23:05 danlyke Huh. Have to see if any of those'll lure me away from RSSyl.
# 23:05 tantek danlyke - the other one to check out in particular is shrewdness
# 23:07 danlyke tantek huh, that looks interesting enough to git clone and try to install... I've been looking for an RSS reader to hack on...
# 23:08 bret you can use barnaby's install to test it out
# 23:10 tantek danlyke - every time he's demo'd it it has been mind blowing. and he just keeps cranking out amazing features.
# 23:10 tantek it's basically a kickbutt indieweb tweet-deck like reading UI. pretty much blows away all the old crappy email-program-UI like feed readers out there.
# 23:11 tantek *plus* has the ability to inline reply if your site supports micropub

# 23:13 aaronpk_ ha there's a little "MP" badge next to my URL in the top right, presumably because my site supports micropub!

# 23:21 tantek who is around SF next week? kylewm? danlyke? iboxifoo? looking for a host for HWC 2014-10-08!
# 23:22 tantek kylewm - I'm expecting that barnabywalters will make that seamless pretty soon - that is, if you enter a site without any h-feed / h-entry markup, it can try doing feed file discovery and then sending that through unmung
# 23:23 tantek but I believe you are correct - currently, subscribing to legacy RSS/Atom requires an extra step of going to feed.unmung.com
# 23:24 danlyke tantek, I'm out on the 8th (going to an event at Chimera in Sebastopol)
# 23:25 kylewm tantek: I will be in town but I don’t really have any way to host people
# 23:25 tantek kylewm - can always do it Chicago style - pick a coffee shop / cafe where you think you can grab a table for a few folks.
# 23:26 tantek but wow on everyone being out of town from SF or otherwise busy/pre-occupied!
# 23:26 tantek might be the first time we've had no-one to host HWC SF since the start!
# 23:26 ben_thatmust but i realized its not possible to know article or note based on the markup is it?
# 23:27 kylewm could definitely do Chicago style, deepdish HWC
danlyke joined the channel
# 23:28 tantek KevinMarks is quickly building another awesome proxy service like Bridgy!
# 23:29 tantek heck, if unmung didn't exist, we could have feature-requested "Bridgy Feed" as a counterpart to "Bridgy Publish"
# 23:29 KevinMarks__ I am goign to have to change tactics with ello thought o parsing their html I think
# 23:31 tantek KevinMarks++ - the h-feed view of that ello is so much nicer
# 23:33 tantek and yes the markup LGTM for photo posts and note posts
# 23:33 gRegor` perks. Did somebody say deepdish?
# 23:45 gRegor` Is it worth noting Ello downtime since it's so young?
# 23:46 gRegor` Right now, for me.
# 23:46 gRegor` I have the page up still for a screenshot
# 23:46 tantek sure take a screenshot if it's an interesting down page and not just browser default
# 23:46 KevinMarks__ weird bug - I had some browser pages minimized, and I installed the Mac OS update
# 23:46 gRegor` hoo boy, opened another tab and got "Heroku no such app"
yakker joined the channel
# 23:47 tantek clearly from the implications in that comic, we should consider the use-cases of a) explicitly notifying someone that you're following them (their site), and thus b) figuring out how to send a webmention to a homepage of someone you're following, with the source being some sort of "hey I'm following you" type post.
# 23:47 tantek gRegor`: yes, document == Downtime == - with screenshots
# 23:47 tantek and perhaps even == Plumbing == with apparently Heroku
# 23:48 tantek people presumably like being notified that their profile/site/posts are being followed / read?
# 23:48 KevinMarks__ Scoble said they were running on a single postgres instance and maxed it out
# 23:48 tantek and people presumably are ok with a silo sending such notifications on their behalf when they do follow someone
# 23:49 tantek KevinMarks - could you expand upon "up to a point"? details? citation? or is it a celebrity scaling problem kind of thing?
# 23:50 gRegor` screencaps and wikis
# 23:52 gRegor` Heh, well the Heroku thing was an odd typo by me. Extra period after ello.co.
# 23:53 gRegor` I've been following that, KevinMarks__. Rather funny/sad
# 23:53 gRegor` She seems to be handling the trolls well.
# 23:55 tantek KevinMarks - you're talking about being over-notified *in general* - which I agree is a problem.
# 23:55 tantek which I worded somewhat ambiguously I now see
# 23:56 tantek retry: people presumably like being notified that their profile/site is being followed / read?
# 23:56 tantek good tweet cite of too many notifications though
