# 03:17 KartikPrabhu aaronpk: looks like your mf2 parser does not absolutise relative URLs ^
# 03:19 snarfed KartikPrabhu: that's actually the ruby parser, not php-mf2, but yes
# 03:19 Loqi 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!
# 03:19 KartikPrabhu snarfed: hmm someone needs to get on the ruby parser dev train then :)

# 05:47 GWG Okay, new plugin deployed. However, some issues with the theme. Need to revisit that.
# 05:49 GWG tantek: I think there are still some design issues.
# 05:49 tantek it's important to go with "good enough" and then iterate
# 05:49 tantek KartikPrabhu: do you support the Pilgrim Protocol?
# 05:49 GWG I may end up on the theme development side again.
# 05:50 tantek is going to try to delete a comment on one of KartikPrabhu's posts. >:)
# 05:59 GWG Thank you. Was thinking about the WordPress adding mf2 question of the other day
# 05:59 GWG Pingbacks are a cesspool because no one cares enough to try and fix them.

# 06:05 tantek I didn't get a chance to see if your system would follow the Pilgrim Protocol
# 06:06 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
# 06:06 GWG I wonder if it is time to abandon bootstrap
# 06:07 tantek KartikPrabhu: about to attempt a webmention from a 404
prtksxna joined the channel
# 06:08 tantek KartikPrabhu: odd - your server returned HTTP/1.1 400 BAD REQUEST
nloadholtes joined the channel
# 06:13 tantek that's not a bug - if the source URL returns a 404, then you're supposed to follow the Pilgrim Protocol
# 06:16 tantek you can try that curl command line for yourself
# 06:16 tantek your handler "https://kartikprabhu.com/webmention" is definitely returning that error message
# 06:17 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
# 06:17 tantek is something throwing an exception and you're not catching it?
# 06:18 tantek if you're calling a library to fetch a URL, you need to explicitly handle the URL being a 404
# 06:28 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...
# 06:28 KartikPrabhu I think I did not do that since I did not want to delete a comment when a URL disappears

# 17:19 GWG I am thinking of cutting bootstrap from my site.

# 17:20 Loqi Welcome, indie-visitor! Set your nickname by typing /nick yourname
# 17:20 anomalily Has anyone see the "year in review" things that facebook is generating for folks?
# 17:20 anomalily I think we need an indieweb version
# 17:21 GWG We're an independent community, each person does their own
# 17:21 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
# 17:22 anomalily Posts from previous year based on webmentions etc.
tantek joined the channel
# 17:23 GWG I think that might be a good goal for 2015
# 17:24 GWG The question is, how to generate it
# 17:24 tantek anomalily ^^^ start with stubbing that page with *exactly* what you just suggested in IRC!
# 17:26 GWG I forget where the progress on that was
# 17:27 anomalily I wasn't proposing doing it this year :-P
# 17:28 anomalily I love the idea of essentially a webring (remember those?) of indieweb year in reviews
# 17:28 anomalily Oh tantek, always making me add things to the wiki.. I will.
# 17:29 tantek other sites/silos that have a "year in review" feature: ThisIsMyJam, Instagram (via Iconosquare)
# 17:30 tantek anomalily - adding things to the wiki is how we can collaboratively make things happen, otherwise they're just ideas lost in the logs
# 17:30 GWG But, if we start thinking about it now, we could have something interesting for the end of next year.
# 17:30 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
# 17:30 GWG Tantek, is there an indie mark for statistics?
# 17:30 anomalily I'll muse on specing out how it could use indieweb stuff
# 17:30 anomalily Could be a cool thing to hack on at the next indiewebcamp
# 17:31 tantek just capture the wishes/questions for now, especially since it's a concrete feature on a few silos
# 17:31 anomalily Kay, when I have a down moment at work I'll do it :-)
# 17:31 tantek GWG, who uses statistics on their site and why?
# 17:32 gRegor` what is webring?
# 17:32 anomalily I gotta get back to work but my work FB account was inundated with those so I wanted to jump on it.
# 17:32 gRegor` (Loqi prompt, not an actual q)
# 17:32 GWG Tantek, I'm asking in the context of a year in Review.
frzn joined the channel
# 17:32 gRegor` Loved webrings in my Geocities days :)
# 17:32 anomalily Hehe. I kinda miss em
# 17:33 anomalily I was in a few weird ones, like ones for people that didn't go to their high school prom
# 17:33 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.
# 17:35 tantek GWG, you could start the "year in review" page as well, copy/pasting from IRC
# 17:35 GWG Note to self, consider looking at analyzing data on incoming webmentions
# 17:35 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 17:36 tantek I bet snarfed could do some mean stats on Bridgy webmentions for 2014
# 17:36 GWG Tantek, I am on my cell phone. It isn't as easy.
# 17:40 tantek Foursquare used to do year end personal stats, as did Dopplr.
# 17:40 tantek Feltron does his annual report which is kind of a like a personal year in review
# 17:40 tantek (but involves mostly things he did IRL rather than online)
# 17:40 aaronpk anomalily does really great year in review posts too
# 17:43 tantek I like that it's done on birthday rather than calendar year end
# 17:43 gRegor` Love the design of Feltron reports
# 17:44 tantek aaronpk what if you only have iMessage on an iPod/iPhone?
# 17:45 aaronpk if you sign in to your imessage account on a computer it'll sync all the messages to it
# 17:45 GWG Tantek, if I start now, I could have something by 5776.
# 17:45 aaronpk I leave a laptop running at home that's acting just as a backup of my imessages
# 17:45 tantek I don't even know if I have an imessage app on my laptop
# 17:45 aaronpk it's built in as of osx 10.8 I think. or 10.7, can't remmeber
j12t and friedcell joined the channel
# 17:48 aaronpk it's also possible to extract the chat.db file from an ipod backup, but that process is a little more involved
# 17:48 aaronpk and you can't really automate it, so doesn't work well as a backup strategy
# 17:48 tantek I'm running 10.7.5 and don't see "messages" in my applications folder
# 17:48 tantek aaronpk - that's ok - I'd be ok with just annual archiving of it
# 17:48 tantek and perhaps deleting of some long conversation histories
gRegor`, j12t and davidpeach joined the channel
# 18:19 tantek davidpeach: earlier you brought up ello - was there a specific question?
snarfed joined the channel
# 18:25 aaronpk hey now that i'm letting anyone sign up for webmention.io I should do the same!
# 18:25 snarfed is that the kind of thing you were thinking? or something else?
snarfed joined the channel
# 18:26 tantek snarfed yes - that kind of thing - perhaps updated for 2014 as a whole
# 18:26 tantek I always wonder how people write year end posts before the actual year end
# 18:26 tantek I mean, isn't it possible something else will happen that will affect the post?
# 18:26 snarfed davidpeach: how can i help w/the press this bookmarklets?
# 18:32 aaronpk snarfed: do you publish a feed of your "like" posts?
# 18:32 snarfed i don't think there's a dedicated h-feed for each type
# 18:34 tantek aaronpk - what user of wordpress has been asking for it for themselves?
# 18:36 tantek sounds like something she could add to her "Itches" section on her User page ;)
# 18:39 GWG Aaronpk, I do but only because Wordpress had the code, so it wasn't really a decision per se.
# 18:40 GWG I had the markup too, but I think I broke it.
# 18:42 davidpeach snarfed : when I use the bookmarklet, what should happen? Should it create post and select the 'kind' etc?
# 18:42 GWG I bookmark more. I treat it like a neutral like.
sdboyer and snarfed joined the channel
# 18:59 snarfed 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
# 18:59 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
sysfu joined the channel
# 19:03 davidpeach snarfed oh okay. Kinds are extra taxonomies made by the indieweb taxonomy plugin. getting my wires crossed i think.

# 19:28 snarfed davidpeach: huh. that doesn't look like it was generated by the press this bookmarklets at all
# 19:30 snarfed 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?

# 21:35 tantek since it's hard enough to get rid of http(s) mixed content warnings, what do y'all think of introducing that as an explicit https level?
# 21:35 tantek I'm working on incorporating https levels into IndieMark and realized this would be good to ad
# 21:35 Loqi tantek meant to say: I'm working on incorporating https levels into IndieMark and realized this would be good to add

KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 21:43 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?
# 21:44 aaronpk because those warnings are essentially making the https ineffective
# 21:44 aaronpk so if you redirect everything to https and have mixed content warnings, it's not really helping visitors
# 21:45 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
# 21:45 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
# 21:46 tantek right - that's what I'm thinking, and making them sequential like that
# 21:48 bear yes, IMO, redirect to https is the final step
# 21:49 tantek bear - right now we have advanced ciphers etc. as the final step (current Level 5)
# 21:51 tantek.com edited /HTTPS (+405) "/* Level 4 security */ note thoughts on redefining Level 4 to be "lock icon" rather than redirect all, then move redirect all to https *with* lock icon to Level 5, and bump others up too" (
view diff )
# 21:51 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, ....
# 21:54 tantek bear, so I take it you agree that lock icon instead of mixed content icon is MORE important than redirect everything to https?

# 22:33 aaronpk tantek: so what do you think... if I finish my 2015-01-01 goal ahead of time, should I launch it early?
gRegor`_ joined the channel
# 22:41 GWG snarfed: Catching up. Kind is the term used by the Indieweb Taxonomy and Indieweb Post Kinds, because 'Type' is a restricted word.
# 22:52 tantek aaronpk - sure - or you could refine it for launch
# 22:52 aaronpk I just realized that I should proabbly include POSSEing the favorite to twitter or facebook as appropriate, so that may take me the rest of the week
# 22:54 GWG I'm so confused about degrees of like
# 22:55 tantek they are the same unless you have a good reason to treat them differently
# 22:55 GWG So, I have Favorite, Like, and Bookmark
# 22:56 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.
# 22:56 danlyke Although the wording "Favorite" encourages some "Like" like semantics.
# 22:57 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.
# 22:57 tantek and the shiny gold start (Twitter), or pink star (Flickr)
# 22:57 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
# 22:58 aaronpk whereas a bookmark may also contain additional data like tags added by the person who created the bookmark
# 22:58 GWG Like - props/compliments to the original post/poster
# 22:58 GWG Favorite - special to the favoriter
# 22:58 GWG Bookmark - also known as a linkblog. This is basically sharing/storing a link/bookmark, without the connotations of favorite/like

# 23:02 GWG I don't understand emotions as they apply to my opinion of someone else's work.
# 23:04 GWG How would all of you define wanting to share someone else's content on your site without defining an emotional state?
# 23:05 GWG For example, I do not want to use 'like' when I want to comment on a story on terrorism.
# 23:05 GWG And when does a comment become a reply
# 23:05 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
# 23:06 aaronpk a repost is similar to a like in that the post only contains the URL
# 23:07 GWG I thought a repost was when you included the entire content?
# 23:07 aaronpk the difference being a repost implies the repost is going to show up in the reposter's primary stream
# 23:07 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
# 23:07 aaronpk oh yeah true. but i thought i saw some examples of reposts that are just the link
# 23:07 GWG aaronpk: I thought that was a Bookmark or Linkblog?
# 23:08 aaronpk you're right, i can't find any examples of a repost that doesn't actually show the original content
# 23:08 GWG aaronpk: I've been confused about this for a long time.
# 23:09 GWG But I'm getting the impression I'm not alone in this.
# 23:10 GWG That part of the problem is that different silos use them differently, different people here see it differently...
# 23:10 gRegor` Is it causing problems on your site? If not, maybe overthinking
# 23:10 GWG I don't know what verb I'm verbing
# 23:10 gRegor` I don't understand that sentence
# 23:11 GWG gRegor`: I don't know if the emotion I'm feeling is favoriting, liking, bookmarking, replying...
# 23:11 KartikPrabhu GWG: your problem then is that you have too many verbs. Just pick a few that do what you want
# 23:11 GWG I've only established I know what a repost is
# 23:12 gRegor` what is bookmark?
# 23:13 GWG KartikPrabhu: I don't know what I want, because I'm confused.
# 23:13 GWG KartikPrabhu: I am seeing bookmark as an absence of emotion.
# 23:14 KartikPrabhu GWG: emotion or not is not the point. Bookmark means something in the English language. Just go with that
# 23:14 gRegor` I wouldn't get caught up on like/favorite - just pick one and stick with it to be consistent.
# 23:15 gRegor` I think the use of like/favorite is typically to broadcast out your interest in the thing, which perhaps you might revisit later.
# 23:15 gRegor` I think a bookmark is definitely intended for you to revisit later.
# 23:16 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.
# 23:16 gRegor` So bookmarks will likely have more features for ease-of-finding. Tags, archives, search.
# 23:17 gRegor` Wheras like/favorite may not, if you don't need those features
# 23:17 gRegor` what is IRL bookmarks?

# 23:48 GWG I wonder if I should accelerate the feature to select which kinds will be active on my site
