glad you liked the page thedod !
Pierre-O joined the channel
#
thedod
tantek, I have a long hate/hate relationship with oauth :) e.g. https://dubiousdod.org/go/OpenID
#
tantek
thedod: you're not alone :)
#
tantek
thedod: lol: "If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer you may need to click on the yellow bar above and select 'Allow Blocked Content'. You must then click 'Yes' on the following security warning."
#
tantek
come now, you can serve some plain HTML and not depend on JS for everything. ;)
#
tantek
is stubbornly running NoScript :D
#
tantek
(and will give a hard time to any indiewebber who doesn't serve static HTML as at least the initial page load)
#
tantek
if you can't curl it, it's not on the web :P
#
thedod
tantek, can't blame you for noscripting, but I gotta admit this text you're quoting is new to me
#
thedod
searches it in the source
#
tantek
thedod - it's what I see when I load "dubiousdod.org/go/OpenID" without JS
#
thedod
so you probably get the whole wiki as a single mess
#
thedod
tries
#
tantek
I'm just clicking links and reporting back what I see :)
#
thedod
it's cool. someone had to try that once
#
thedod
bloody hell. where do [prvicay warriors] firefox hide their "disable JS" GUI *this* time?
#
tantek
just install NoScript add-on - and make your browsing MUCH faster :D
#
thedod
got convinced. brb
#
aaronpk
man google is way faster without the JS
#
aaronpk
so is image search
#
tantek
yes it is
#
aaronpk
omg flickr is actually usable this way
#
aaronpk
and still looks half decent
#
tantek
you know what's even faster w/o JS? Yahoo search. And Bing. both are faster than Google w/o JS.
#
aaronpk
nvm, none of the photo metadata loads on photo permalinks
#
thedod
just installed it (but allowing scripts from my own site)
#
GWG
I have returned
#
aaronpk
i can't seem to type anything on bing
#
tantek
I just use the search box with Bing chosen

I have no patience for silos that require JS just to see the main content of a page which should be rendered serverside and sent as HTML.

#
gRegor`
? That's what he's saying
#
thedod
As one of the crusaders for a better CA-less world at https://hidden-id.github.io I agree that the CA system is broken, but an interim where 90% of the site need MITM and hanky panky in order to monitor can be quite itchy for the NSA

I just hope the tech attention span doesn't forget the problems with CAs because Super CA came along.

which makes sense, I think https is v. new addition for them

just got my yubikey thing and tried it out with my google account
#
aaronpk
setup was super easy, and didn't require me to install a browser extension
#
aaronpk
so why do all the docs say a browser extension is required?

tantek
what is yubikey?

Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "yubikey" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=yubikey

aaronpk
wtf: "Currently, you need Google Chrome and the FIDO U2F extension to enable U2F (on non-Google domains)."

why and how are google domains treated separately?

there is already a use of the word "Indie Hosting" to mean basically hosting at home, which is going to be a bit confusing
#
michielbdejong
I propose to call hosting under your physical control (e.g. Raspberry Pi) "Home Hosting", is that a good term?
tilgovi and mko joined the channel

I dunno, I think putting a server at a colo still counts as under your control. and tha'ts decidedly not home

michielbdejong
'dedicated server'?
#
michielbdejong
sorry, i just saw your message when i already clicked 'update'. we can change it back if we find a better term
#
michielbdejong
the 'personal cloud' section is more about raspberry pi, with pagekite
#
michielbdejong
it says 'running a server from a home or office'
#
michielbdejong
by physical control i mean in a room which you can lock so nobody else can come physically near your server
#
reedstrm
agreed that page is a bit of a mess.
#
reedstrm
michielbdejong: I like that def. Also 'home' to me means "the Feds have to serve _me_ a warrant, not some business"
#
reedstrm
Not that I'm worried about Feds. :-) Just channeling thedod
j12t and Pea1 joined the channel
#
michielbdejong
thanks! ok, i'll change "Personal Cloud / Indie Hosting" to "Personal Cloud / Home Hosting", to avoid confusion with the new section http://indiewebcamp.com/web_hosting#Using_an_Indie_Hoster I just added.
#
reedstrm
michielbdejong: not sure where that leaves colos where you get a cage w/ your own key. They still do that anywhere?
#
michielbdejong
yes, you often see cages in data centers. I guess that's a bit of an edge case, and also financially not attainable for indiewebbers
#
michielbdejong
that's probably more if you have 100+ servers
#
reedstrm
Personally, I think Indie Hoster whould be 'anyone who considers themselves part of the Indie movement, and hosts themselves'. As described on the page, I'd call the new section 'Indie Friendly Hosters'
#
aaronpk
there's a place in portland you can get a cage for only lik $500/mo
#
aaronpk
that's not out of the realm of possibility, especially if you go in on it with a few friends

I don't understand this "Indie Hoster" section

where did this term come from and are there any other references to it?

we've just started crowdfunding
#
reedstrm
Recently had to rejigger severs at home (HD on the PDVR died) and was shocked at the amount of dustbunnies I had to clean out. I've been spoiled by works first class datacenter.
#
aaronpk
and how is that different from shared hosting?
#
aaronpk
or VPS hosting
#
aaronpk
so "Indie Hoster" is a company?
#
michielbdejong
you don't have to know what a php file is
#
aaronpk
"we've just started crowdfunding" <-- who?
#
michielbdejong
Pierre-O and I! :)
#
reedstrm
aaronpk: agreed looks funny to me. See my suggestion of Indie friendly hosting
#
petermolnar
as far as I understand Indie Hoster is a regular sysadmin for you
#
Pierre-O
yes, like your personal trainer
#
aaronpk
...trying to find this...
#
reedstrm
so, OAS? Ops As a Service ?
#
aaronpk
ok so you guys are indiehosters.net
#
michielbdejong
we can put it inside the "CMS as a service" section
#
aaronpk
this sounds like dreamhost with their one-click installs?
#
aaronpk
it's basically shared hosting right?
#
michielbdejong
aaronpk: no, it's different, it's closer to CMS as a service than to shared hosting
#
Pierre-O
I mean, yes, we are indiehosters
#
petermolnar
according to the link above, it's a container based managed server
#
aaronpk
okay, so there's a category for hosted CMS on the web hosting page already
#
michielbdejong
okay, let's merge it with that, maybe that's clearer
#
aaronpk
I just don't see how it's different
npdoty joined the channel
#
aaronpk
the main difference from the examples given is that indiehosters.net lets you choose from multiple CMSs, whereas the others offer their own
#
aaronpk
(the examples given being Known, wordpress.com, wp engine)
#
michielbdejong
yes, i guess it's a small enough difference, we should merge it
#
Pierre-O
and we don't limit installation of plugins
#
aaronpk
those sound like distinguising features of indiehosters.net
#
petermolnar
uum, no, you can always choose what you want at a lot of places for the managed server option, you just need to pay more
#
michielbdejong
thanks for the correction
#
aaronpk
worth pointing out
#
Pierre-O
and the terms of service *will* be better, because you have a personal relationship with your indiehoster
#
aaronpk
petermolnar: this is one level removed from a managed server it sounds like
#
petermolnar
that sounds like sleepless nights for a poor sysadmin for me
#
Pierre-O
no, you, as an indiehoster, needs to have a friend to go on holidays :)
#
petermolnar
is a 9to5 sysadmin, was a shared hosting provider a long time ago, with personal relations to the customers and will never go back there

wait, h-entry or h-cite?
#

sorry, h-cite, you're right
#
tantek
since you're *citing* the external like, comment etc.
#
aaronpk
right okay. i haven't forgotten all the things.
#
tantek
this also solves thedod's concern about "if the class of an element has semantic reference, classes should be filtered from external input, or it's an attack surface" - because once you've contained it in an h-cite, you're good to go.
#
tantek
no need to filter classes from external input
#
tantek
in fact, don't filter them, or if you feel like filtering, at least *keep* all the uf2 prefixed classes (h- p- dt- u- e-) in order to maintain maximum semantic fidelity.

what is privacy?

Privacy is “the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby express themselves selectively” http://indiewebcamp.com/privacy
#
thedod
ooooh
#
tantek
what is migration?
#
Loqi
migration in the context of the indieweb refers to the process of moving your indieweb site from any one or more of one CMS / web host / DNS provider / URL design / domain name to another http://indiewebcamp.com/migration
#
tantek
boom.
#
thedod
should I do the "grumpy old man" routine on privacy too?
#
tantek
not unless you have specific examples.
#
thedod
any remarks on what I did with security?
#
tantek
grumpy old man commenting from an arm chair is not very useful
#
tantek
right, that's the one feedback I have on your /security additions - lots of chicken-little handwaving - no specific examples
#
thedod
are you referring to what I've written on security, tantek, or in general?
#
tantek
and that kind of thing (handwaving = fear) actually hurts security design
#
tantek
just the /security additions
#
thedod
i see.
#
tantek
security is about focusing on *actual* probable problems, by example, not on making thing "airtight" for all possible theoretical scenarios
#
tantek
in fact, anyone who is designing security by theory doesn't understand security in practice.
#
tantek
same thing applies to privacy
#
thedod
what about the actual problems I mention (after a week of browsing around casually?)
#
tantek
they're not actual problems unless you can demonstrate an exploit - that's the point
#
aaronpk
what do you mean you can't log in to the wiki over https?
#
thedod
I got an exploit off my sleeve:
#
tantek
good - blog it, then cite it
#
thedod
I want all my communication with IWC to be secure, and I need to go to http for login
#
tantek
otherwise, any theoretical security concerns should be moved to a "hypothetical" section, to quarantine them from *actual* problems
#
thedod
it's in the wiki already

no IndieAuth supports https

let's ask this: is there any reason, at the age of HSTS, to enable http connections *at all* for a site that can redirect to https?
#
thedod
Except for "I know it's not OK, I'll fix this soon"
#
thedod
or maybe even go deeper and say any URL "known to have an https equivalent" should be converted *everywhere*?
#
thedod
I know "known to be" is a bit of handwaving, but - for example - sites can say in the header link rel=cannonical or something
#
tantek
thedod - I think you'll find that for many *practical* reasons, there's fairly strong consensus about use as much https as you can. See https://indiewebcamp.com/HTTPS#Why

Pea1 and dariusdunlap joined the channel
#
thedod
so do you still consider what I wrote irrelevant hadwaving (or a similar adjective)?
#
tantek
thedod - if it really is a *best* practice, it deserves citations that back that up
#
tantek
otherwise it fails burden of proof for *best*
#
tantek
didn't say irrelevant. please stop strawmanning.
#
thedod
I didn't say that my text suggested specific "best practices" except for "don't have any of the known problems" :),
#
tantek
if it is a *known* problem, the aspect of knownness means you can provide a citation
#
tantek
if you can't provide a citation to a "known" problem, is it really known?
#
thedod
but what I try to say is that there should be a goal to write down such best practices because these things have to be written, not guessed
#
thedod
I lost you
#
thedod
all problems under "known problems" are bugs I can recreate
#
tantek
if you can't cite why something is known, then you can't claim you're avoiding *known* problems
#
thedod
do you mean the formality is to blog about it and link there? I could do that.
#
tantek
you shouldn't have to recreate them - if they're already *known*, they should have *existing* citations!
#
aaronpk
thedod: documenting the https login issue with the wiki was constructive because it pointed to a real problem. now I fixed it. so that was nice.
#
tantek
if it is *known* you should be able to cite *someone else* who has already written about it
#
tantek
otherwise it is not *known*
#
thedod
it was a problem, I *knew* it was a problem, fixing it *proves* it *was* a problem, what citation is needed? the wiki page is the ticket

#
thedod
btw, speeking of generic mentions (and *what* they mention): at a blog there's "about", and "all posts". In twitter it's the same page, but "me" should be an "about" page. When you mention me you don't mention "stuff I've been saying lately".

i accept bitcoin and dogecoin because sometimes people have them to give to me and it was super easy to add. That being said, I dont really use it that much
#
tantek
bret - do you have a payment page or something on your personal web site where you accept them?
#
thedod
bret, it's easier when you're not selling something. You just post an account number (maybe QR code).
#
thedod
The problem is if you need to know whether the customer has paid or not. For that - each transaction needs a different account number
#
thedod
now it's easy to generate them, but you need the private key (you keep at home)
#
thedod
so what people do is simply keep a "stack" of pregenerated accounts, and pop one per deal
#
thedod
You can get DoSed out of all account numbers, but that's childish :)
#
tantek
are these techniques documented anywhere?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_online_services#Server_hacking By creating a wallet with plenty of keys on your own local computer and then uploading the encrypted version to the server, you ensure that whilst the server can accept payments only your own computer can make them, even though they share the same balance.

So, can I just dump bitcoin into bret's account, and he can't tell who sent it?

reedstrm, maybe *bret* can't, but Adi Shamir has tricks ;)
#
reedstrm
thinks regularly scheduled anon payments matching external events that bret has nothing to do with ...
#
tantek
bret - perhaps you could document your technique for accepting Bitcoin on your personal site on a /Bitcoin page? And add yourself to a section "IndieWeb Examples" ?
#
bret
sure
#
thedod
this is why it's only good for donations, because if you pay bret and I see the transaction I can go "hey bret I sent you money" at your expense
#
ben_thatmustbeme
damn, i was trying to work out some way to make tagging of people in an image work just by some markup in the commenter's post and javascript
#
tantek
no JS needed
#
tantek
or do you mean UI?
#
KevinMarks_
I put a bitcoin link on one of my posts, nevr got anything
#
ben_thatmustbeme
you could do it without JS
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: server-side image maps FTW :)
#
reedstrm
So, the real indie web interest might be hosters that accept bitcoin. Which exist.
#
tantek
reedstrm: that would also be worth mentioning on a /Bitcoin page
#
ben_thatmustbeme
tantek, I know, I figured it would be more like a patch for those that didn't want to add server side patches, just include JS
#
ben_thatmustbeme
it was an exercise in creating the maps via js though
#
thedod
reedstrm, true that. if they also accept HiddenID, we can actually have anonymous indie sites :)

no harm in investigating different ways about it, in any case I may set it up to include linking to sections of my photos via JS highlight / media-frag bit
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and just not use those for the webmention tagging
#
thedod
tantek, "ethical" question. Indie are supposed to be personal sites. Now what if there's a community (knitting club, biker gang), how does their site appear on the "indie map"? can they have an h-card? webmentions?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
thedod, i don't see why not, there's no requirement of it being a single person
#

#

#
tantek
KevinMarks - add to /Bitcoin#IndieWeb_Examples :)
#
tantek
thedod - I think the question has come up before, for independent businesses as well, and the general vibe I've seen is that anything that encourages at least some degree of independence is incrementally good
#
tantek
part of the challenge is to not get "stuck" in thinking each site *does* have multiple people, because then you go down the Diaspora path, where people end up not having their own sites, care less, and stuff is lost / not maintained again.
#
thedod
well, independence we don't lack. Our sysadmin is a "don't call us, we'll call you" kinda guy/girl
#
tantek
e.g. what happens when a couple with a shared "family" site gets divorced? how do they handle disentangling and maintaining web identities?
#
tantek
thus there's a strong encouragement to enable everyone to have and be their own
#
tantek
*more* independent

i think when its a centralized/community site it would be better as sort of a syndication target fro personal sites

agreed ben_thatmustbeme
#

anyway, I guess the answer is "install the plugin and see"
#
tantek
I do know that Known itself is designed to be multiuser even on a single site
#
tantek
each site/install has its own account system

#
thedod
ben_thatmust, the problem with hiddenid is that the users are not 24/7 online. they need a "silo". On the other hand, they're less touchy about their "posessions" more careful not to be *accused* of saying stuff :)
#
thedod
the way around this is that since they have SSO, they can put stuff in several silos, and [hopefully] aggregators will let you keep track of the "trail" they leave behind

I didn't know P2P, decnetralization, anonymous things and the NSA were topics related to IWC
#
fiatjaf
are they?
#
mko
I wouldn't generally describe them as directly related, no.
#
mko
However, IndieWeb members might want to implement anonymity and related technologies as it relates to their IndieWeb site.
#
reedstrm
fiatjaf: mko: not even decentralized?
#
mko
Depends on what kind of decentralization we're talking about. If you're talking about moving to a distributed, decentralized peer-to-peer model, I wouldn't describe that as "IndieWeb" (compare The "Indienet" espoused by Ind.ie with the network of Independent Websites as espoused by IndieWebCamp).
#
mko
Decentralization in the sense of removing the dependency upon silos and owning your own data is very much directly related to IndieWebCamp.
#
reedstrm
Yup: that's my take
#
mko
I would actually refer to the second one more as "Democratization" than "Decentralization" because it's more about who owns and controls the existence and flow of the data.
#
mko
Hosted Known, for example, is technically a "centralized" service in that everyone is using a namespaced instance on a central silo, but it is a more democratized service than silos like Facebook or Twitter as the users have significantly more control over their data.
#
mko
Note: by "Hosted Known", I am specifically referring to the instances of Known hosted on withknown.com (i.e. https://mko.withknown.com and similar sites).

been thinking about archives recently, in the year/month personal site sense, and started to look at what silos do
#
tantek
looks like /Facebook has a vertical clickable timeline of years in the top right corner of your profile page
#
tantek
or actually, anyone's profile page
#
reedstrm
I think you can opt out of public access to that.
#
tantek
when you click a year, it scrolls to the "highlights" for that year (whatever that means)
#
tantek
and then expands the vertical timeline widget thingy to show months as well

#
tantek
when you click on a month, it loads the most recent posts in that month, and you have to scroll down (infinite scroll) to see earlier in that month
#
tantek
problem with that is of course the usual infinite scroll fragility - JS - timeouts, long load times etc.
#
tantek
and all of this is done with JS - no separate links for archives for a year, nor archives for a month
#
tantek
anybody else see anything different?

I don't know if you can opt out of it, but what's displayed is based on FB privacy settings, of course. If tantek didn't have access to anything I posted in 2008, he wouldn't see 2008 listed in the years, I think.

gRegor`: uh - I think you might be giving FB too much credit

#
tantek
last I checked, you can scroll back in your "friends" archives from before you "friended" them
#
tantek
and typically you didn't have access to those before, e.g. old photos
#
gRegor`
I'm talking about per-post privacy settings.
#
tantek
and it's a frequent reason people "stress" about friending someone - do I want them to see older photos of me?
#
gRegor`
But yes, I don't think Facebook has time-based privacy settings.
#

so the default case is, people see odler things
#
tantek
s/odler/older
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: so the default case is, people see older things
#
tantek
hmm - should we come up with a more specific name for such dated archives?
#
tantek
year/month archives?
#
tantek
trying to figure out a way to create two separate pages for the two concepts captured in this definition:
#
tantek
what are archives?
#
Loqi
archive refers to date-grouped sets of indieweb site posts (a common form of navigation among posts), or a copy of a web page made at a particular point in time http://indiewebcamp.com/archives
#
KevinMarks
Twitter has downloadable year month archives eg kevinmarks.com/tweets
#
tantek
but that's more of the *second* meaning of archive
#
tantek
it's a copy (download)
#
gRegor`
What do you mean by 'dated archives'? Aren't all archives dated? You mean the URL structure of the archives?
#
KevinMarks
Hm, also I need to download again
#
tantek
gRegor`: the first meaning
#
tantek
"date-grouped sets of indieweb site posts (a common form of navigation among posts)"
#
gRegor`
oops, missed that.
#
tantek
vs. "copy of a web page made at a particular point in time." - i.e. a "web archive file", warc etc.
#
tantek
which maybe is more of a "mirror" or "snapshot"?
#
gRegor`
Semi-related, I have thought about adding a hook to the "Save page now" on Wayback Machine after posting an article. https://archive.org/web/
#
tantek
which usage is more common? archive as live date-based nav? or archive as copy of something at a certain point in time?
#
tantek
gRegor`: perhaps with a 24hr delay to give yourself time to make corrections
#
gRegor`
good idea
#
aaronpk
posse to archive.org?
#
tantek
as well as mirror everything you link to, to archive.orgt
#
gRegor`
Ooh
#
tantek
wikipedia seems to prefer the first definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive
#
gRegor`
Like I bookmark example.com, and tell Wayback to archive it at the same time?
#
tantek
"accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization."
#
gRegor`
Cool. I like it.
#
tantek
note: *historical records*, *primary source documents*, *an individual*, *the function of that person*
#
tantek
that strongly resonates with the first meaning of archive

rather than the second
