Wow, the numbered indents in this spec look like a parody http://www.xspf.org/orig-xspf-v1.html

KevinMarks_: Are you sure those aren't OIDs? :-)

http://www.xspf.org/xspf-v1.html is a bit better written, but it is clearly an artefact of its time, joyfully embracing the xml zeitgeist

TrackBack was a protocol for web sites to notify other web sites when they've posted a link to them (respectively) https://indiewebcamp.com/Trackback

aaronpk: looks like your mf2 parser does not absolutise relative URLs ^

KartikPrabhu: that's actually the ruby parser, not php-mf2, but yes

snarfed: tantek left you a message 1 day ago: nevermind, that appears to be FB auto-ellipsing those URL path segments when it autolinks the URL in the text of the post!

Okay, new plugin deployed. However, some issues with the theme. Need to revisit that.
#
tantek
GWG - congrats on deployment
#
GWG
tantek: I think there are still some design issues.
#
tantek
it's important to go with "good enough" and then iterate
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: do you support the Pilgrim Protocol?
#
GWG
I may end up on the theme development side again.
#
tantek
is going to try to delete a comment on one of KartikPrabhu's posts. >:)
#
tantek
first before I delete it - everyone see the spam comment here? https://kartikprabhu.com/notes/2015-indieweb-commitment (via Bridgy from Twitter of course)

Thank you. Was thinking about the WordPress adding mf2 question of the other day

Pingbacks are a cesspool because no one cares enough to try and fix them.
#
tantek
right
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: what is that?
#
Loqi
That! (or "that ^^^") is a rarely seen reply emphasizing agreement with a This post https://indiewebcamp.com/that

just now.
#
tantek
I didn't get a chance to see if your system would follow the Pilgrim Protocol
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: there. restored!
#
tantek
that is, attempt to webmention your post from that tweet, have your system attempt to retrieve the tweet, see that it 404s, and then remove the comment
#
GWG
I wonder if it is time to abandon bootstrap
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: about to attempt a webmention from a 404
prtksxna joined the channel
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: odd - your server returned HTTP/1.1 400 BAD REQUEST
#
tantek
here's the curl URL
#
tantek
I mean command line
#
KartikPrabhu
there is no target is there...
#
tantek
yes there is
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah then it is doing something weird
#
tantek
interesting - let's debug it
#
KartikPrabhu
pullig up webmention code
nloadholtes joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
did the server return any text in content? that would be helpful
#
tantek
checking
#
tantek
"Source URL could not be fetched."
#
tantek
that's not a bug - if the source URL returns a 404, then you're supposed to follow the Pilgrim Protocol

#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: interesting I don't send that error msg at all!
#
tantek
you can try that curl command line for yourself
#
tantek
your handler "https://kartikprabhu.com/webmention" is definitely returning that error message
#
KartikPrabhu
yes. agreed. but it isn't in my code maybe the requests lib is doing that. will have to look into this and the Pilgrim protocol too
#
tantek
is something throwing an exception and you're not catching it?
#
tantek
if you're calling a library to fetch a URL, you need to explicitly handle the URL being a 404
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yes. checking through code
#
KartikPrabhu
and sending that request myself
#
KartikPrabhu
aah tantek: it is is my Connection library. It does return that error when the souce could not be retrieved. I should add the 410 and 404 tests...
#
KartikPrabhu
I think I did not do that since I did not want to delete a comment when a URL disappears
#
tantek
what did you want to do?
#
KartikPrabhu
not sure.
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe as a good policy I should do that as courtesy to the commenter

Hello anomalily
#
anomalily
Has anyone see the "year in review" things that facebook is generating for folks?
#
anomalily
I think we need an indieweb version
#
GWG
I've seen other people's
#
GWG
We're an independent community, each person does their own
#
anomalily
I mean, I always make my own year in review post on my own site, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to pull stuff automatically based on number of webmentions
#
anomalily
Posts from previous year based on webmentions etc.
tantek joined the channel
#
GWG
I think that might be a good goal for 2015
#
tantek
that's a great idea anomalily!
#
tantek
what is year in review?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "year in review" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=year+in+review
#
GWG
The question is, how to generate it
#
tantek
anomalily ^^^ start with stubbing that page with *exactly* what you just suggested in IRC!
#
tantek
and then I'll add to it
#
GWG
What about indiestats?
#
GWG
I forget where the progress on that was
#
anomalily
I wasn't proposing doing it this year :-P
#
anomalily
I love the idea of essentially a webring (remember those?) of indieweb year in reviews
#
anomalily
Oh tantek, always making me add things to the wiki.. I will.
#
tantek
other sites/silos that have a "year in review" feature: ThisIsMyJam, Instagram (via Iconosquare)
#
GWG
I remember webrings.
#
tantek
anomalily - adding things to the wiki is how we can collaboratively make things happen, otherwise they're just ideas lost in the logs
#
GWG
But, if we start thinking about it now, we could have something interesting for the end of next year.
#
tantek
and it's now easier than ever with Loqi's handy "create" links - click it, copy/type {{stub}}, copy/paste what you just typed into IRC, save
#
Loqi
dude
#
GWG
Tantek, is there an indie mark for statistics?
#
anomalily
I'll muse on specing out how it could use indieweb stuff
#
anomalily
Could be a cool thing to hack on at the next indiewebcamp
#
tantek
just capture the wishes/questions for now, especially since it's a concrete feature on a few silos
#
tantek
muse on specing it later
#
anomalily
Kay, when I have a down moment at work I'll do it :-)
#
tantek
it's like 30 seconds :P
#
tantek
GWG, who uses statistics on their site and why?
#
gRegor`
what is webring?
#

#
gRegor`

#
GWG
Don't get me started on prom
#
anomalily
Okay, now I'm just procrastinating. Back to work for me; it's the craazzzziest time of year for us. Will work on stub later.
#
tantek
GWG, you could start the "year in review" page as well, copy/pasting from IRC
#
GWG
Note to self, consider looking at analyzing data on incoming webmentions
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
I bet snarfed could do some mean stats on Bridgy webmentions for 2014
#
GWG
Tantek, I am on my cell phone. It isn't as easy.
#
GWG
Wasn't bear doing something?
#
GWG
I am trying to remember
#
tantek
what is statistics?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "statistics" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=statistics
#
tantek
Foursquare used to do year end personal stats, as did Dopplr.
#
tantek
Feltron does his annual report which is kind of a like a personal year in review
#
tantek
(but involves mostly things he did IRL rather than online)
#
aaronpk
anomalily does really great year in review posts too
#
tantek
I like that it's done on birthday rather than calendar year end
#
tantek
how is she getting iMessage stats?!?
#
gRegor`
Love the design of Feltron reports
#
tantek
love the "indie" design of anomalily's
#
tantek
aaronpk what if you only have iMessage on an iPod/iPhone?
#
tantek
what is iMessage
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "iMessage" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=iMessage
#
aaronpk
if you sign in to your imessage account on a computer it'll sync all the messages to it
#
GWG
Tantek, if I start now, I could have something by 5776.
#
aaronpk
I leave a laptop running at home that's acting just as a backup of my imessages
#
tantek
I don't even know if I have an imessage app on my laptop
#
aaronpk
it's just called "messages"
#
aaronpk
it's built in as of osx 10.8 I think. or 10.7, can't remmeber

it's also possible to extract the chat.db file from an ipod backup, but that process is a little more involved
#
aaronpk
and you can't really automate it, so doesn't work well as a backup strategy
#
tantek
I'm running 10.7.5 and don't see "messages" in my applications folder
#
tantek
aaronpk - that's ok - I'd be ok with just annual archiving of it
#
tantek
and perhaps deleting of some long conversation histories
#
aaronpk
10.7 is pretty old, it's worth updating
#
aaronpk
looks like 10.8 was when the Messages app with iMessage was introduced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messages_(application)#10.8_Mountain_Lion

btw aaronpk, if you do generate stats for wmio, here's the methodology i used for my post, just as a data point: https://snarfed.org/2014-11-06_happy-1000th-bridgy#comment-2583731

#
snarfed
i don't think there's a dedicated h-feed for each type

we really need a micropub plugin for wordpress

anomalily

tantek
sounds like something she could add to her "Itches" section on her User page ;)

GWG
Aaronpk, I do but only because Wordpress had the code, so it wasn't really a decision per se.
#
GWG
I had the markup too, but I think I broke it.
#
davidpeach
hi snarfed
#
davidpeach
snarfed : when I use the bookmarklet, what should happen? Should it create post and select the 'kind' etc?
#
aaronpk
GWG: neat!
#
GWG
Hmmm.. I should like more.
#
GWG
I bookmark more. I treat it like a neutral like.

GWG
Davidpeach, you using kinds?

davidpeach
gwg: ive got the indieweb-taxonomy plugin if that helps?

#

davidpeach: when you use one of those bookmarklets, it should open your press this admin page and fill in the mf2 html for either a reply, like, repost, etc of that page, depending on which bookmarklet you used
#
snarfed
(i'm not sure what you mean by "kind")
#
snarfed
oh, and it also includes a bridgy publish link so that if you have the webmention plugin, it will automatically also perform the corresponding action inside fb or twitter

snarfed
(i'll be on and off for a while, sorry)

the bookmarklets aren't standalone, they also need you to install the wp plugin i linked in the post. did you maybe not do that?

KartikPrabhu: aaronpk left you a message 4 hours, 2 minutes ago: I noticed :-) https://github.com/G5/microformats2/issues/32
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
tantek
which is more important / difficult? serving all *your* content with https (with redirects to), or eliminating mixed-content warnings when optionally serving your pages as https?
#
aaronpk
i think eliminating mixed-content warnings
#
aaronpk
because those warnings are essentially making the https ineffective
#
tantek
that is good reasoning
#
aaronpk
so if you redirect everything to https and have mixed content warnings, it's not really helping visitors
#
tantek
whereas if you optionally allow http or https access to your site, and your https access *lacks* the mixed content warning, you're at least helping your https visitors
#
aaronpk
i might even go so far as to explicitly recommend not redirecting your http pages to https unless you've ensured you have no mixed-content warnings
#
tantek
right - that's what I'm thinking, and making them sequential like that
#
aaronpk
makes sense to me
#
bear
yes, IMO, redirect to https is the final step
#
tantek
bear - right now we have advanced ciphers etc. as the final step (current Level 5)
#
tantek
and redirect to https right before that
#

#
bear
(sorry, was distracted) - I should have looked - but yes, redirect to https is the final "normal" step - everything else is extra PFS, cipher lists, ....

tantek
bear, so I take it you agree that lock icon instead of mixed content icon is MORE important than redirect everything to https?

I'm so confused about degrees of like
#
tantek
they are the same unless you have a good reason to treat them differently
#
GWG
So, I have Favorite, Like, and Bookmark
#
danlyke
The difference between "Like" on Facebook and "Favorite" on Metafilter is that the latter is more like a bookmark, the former is just noise in the stream.
#
GWG
facepalms
#
danlyke
Although the wording "Favorite" encourages some "Like" like semantics.
#
danlyke
But that suggests that in a place where we control the lists of what we've liked, that the difference is in the perception of the reader, not the writer.
#
tantek
and the shiny gold start (Twitter), or pink star (Flickr)
#
aaronpk
regardless of the intent of the person posting the like or favorite, they are the same in that the contents of the post is purely the link of the thing being liked or favorited
#
GWG
I tried to figure it out.
#
aaronpk
whereas a bookmark may also contain additional data like tags added by the person who created the bookmark
#
danlyke
yeah, so to the publisher they're all identical.
#
GWG
Like - props/compliments to the original post/poster
#
GWG
Favorite - special to the favoriter
#
GWG
Bookmark - also known as a linkblog. This is basically sharing/storing a link/bookmark, without the connotations of favorite/like
#
GWG
This is what I came up with
#
GWG
But I think it is wrong

I don't understand emotions.

Let me rephrase that
#
GWG
I don't understand emotions as they apply to my opinion of someone else's work.
#
GWG
How would all of you define wanting to share someone else's content on your site without defining an emotional state?
#
GWG
For example, I do not want to use 'like' when I want to comment on a story on terrorism.
#
GWG
And when does a comment become a reply
#
aaronpk
what is a reply?
#
aaronpk
what is a comment?
#
Loqi
A comment is a kind of post that is in reply to some other post, that makes little or no sense without reading or at least knowing the context of the source post https://indiewebcamp.com/reply

#
GWG
I am confusing myself, I think.
#
aaronpk
a repost is similar to a like in that the post only contains the URL
#
GWG
I thought a repost was when you included the entire content?
#
GWG
What is a repost?
#
aaronpk
the difference being a repost implies the repost is going to show up in the reposter's primary stream
#
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 https://indiewebcamp.com/repost
#
aaronpk
oh yeah true. but i thought i saw some examples of reposts that are just the link
#
GWG
aaronpk: I thought that was a Bookmark or Linkblog?
#
GWG
What is a Bookmark?
#
Loqi
A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is typically comprised of a URL and optional text accompanying it https://indiewebcamp.com/bookmark
#
aaronpk
you're right, i can't find any examples of a repost that doesn't actually show the original content
#
GWG
aaronpk: I've been confused about this for a long time.
#
GWG
But I'm getting the impression I'm not alone in this.
#
GWG
That part of the problem is that different silos use them differently, different people here see it differently...
#
gRegor`
Is it causing problems on your site? If not, maybe overthinking
#
GWG
gRegor`: I loaded in every verb.
#
KartikPrabhu
gRegor`++
#
GWG
I don't know what verb I'm verbing
#
gRegor`
I don't understand that sentence
#
GWG
gRegor`: I don't know if the emotion I'm feeling is favoriting, liking, bookmarking, replying...
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: your problem then is that you have too many verbs. Just pick a few that do what you want
#
GWG
I've only established I know what a repost is
#
KartikPrabhu
also apart from "like/favourite" none of the others are "emotions"
#
gRegor`
what is bookmark?
#
Loqi
A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is typically comprised of a URL and optional text accompanying it https://indiewebcamp.com/bookmark
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I don't know what I want, because I'm confused.
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I am seeing bookmark as an absence of emotion.
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: emotion or not is not the point. Bookmark means something in the English language. Just go with that
#
gRegor`
I wouldn't get caught up on like/favorite - just pick one and stick with it to be consistent.
#
gRegor`
I think the use of like/favorite is typically to broadcast out your interest in the thing, which perhaps you might revisit later.
#
gRegor`
I think a bookmark is definitely intended for you to revisit later.
#
GWG
I think I'm underusing reply
#
KartikPrabhu
again "reply" as an English word is very clear
#
gRegor`
And bookmarks can optionally be broadcast, in case others also find them interesting, but their use case is more for you than the broadcast.
#
KartikPrabhu
gRegor`: yup. like IRL bookmarks :P
#
gRegor`
So bookmarks will likely have more features for ease-of-finding. Tags, archives, search.
#
gRegor`
Wheras like/favorite may not, if you don't need those features
#
gRegor`
what is IRL bookmarks?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "IRL bookmarks" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=IRL+bookmarks

I wonder if I should accelerate the feature to select which kinds will be active on my site
