Thoughts on this? Chromium and Firefox teams have both expressed an interest in having the browsers complain louder when you're visiting a site over HTTP and not HTTPS. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/xaGffxAM-hs

Was one of the things I had in mind yesterday when doing https://github.com/gobengo/indieweb/pull/2

bengo: if you're thinking about this as an (indieweb) publisher, you might like https://hstspreload.appspot.com/
#
bengo
snarfed ooh that's interesting. Cool.
#
bengo
snarfed what is your domain?
#
Loqi
A personal domain is a domain name that you personally own, control, and use to represent yourself on the internet https://indiewebcamp.com/your_domain
#
bengo
ah, .org not .com
#
bengo
TBH I would really like to make http://bengo.is/ https-only, but have to learn the steps to do it all.

salmon was too hard to implement and definitely provided inspiration for trying again with simpler building blocks
#
tantek
salmon also failed creator selfdogfood
#
kylewm
I thought status.net used salmon?
#
kylewm
gets the feeling this has been discussed before here
#
tantek
what is salmon?
#
Loqi
Salmon is a 2010-era feed-based protocol for sending comment notifications that is part of the OStatus stack https://indiewebcamp.com/Salmon
#
tantek
kylewm: that sounds right

Found this on there 'sot', which looks to be like a decentralized messaging protocol. It's JSON-based, meaning they could probably benefit from a standardized serialization format: https://zothub.com/help/Zot---A-High-Level-Overview . It looks like it's currently using some sort of activity like thing. { verb: 'post', ... }

#
bengo
cweiske why not?
#
cweiske
because it verifies the certificates against its internal list of official CAs

I figured. I'm interested in whether it really HAS to have a whitelist to be useful

It seems like if I'm telling indiecert what my domain is, that domain is protected via HTTPS with a Cert signed by key A. If I can use the same key A for signing something when I logging in with indiecert, shouldn't I be trusted?

cweiske Thanks for the advice. I'm hardly an expert in this. We'll see what fkooman says on that gh issue
#
bengo
It appears based on other pulls that the main indiecert deployment is just using the host OS's trusted CAs. I suppose I'm proposing to either allow for an explicit whitelist that can be peer-reviewed in the source code, or just for his cURL requests to use the insecure flag, but verify via fingerprint

tantek: I'm not sure yet. Need to doodle in my notebook some more. I am in the process of rebuilding Ferocity to be less hacky, but wanted to hack in likes to see how to make the next version of ferocity less crap. ;-)
#
tantek
new features are a good way to instigate re-architecting for less hackiness ;)
#
tantek
rhiaro: I think you may be confusing mentions and tags in your second example https://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag#rhiaro
#
tantek
as the Twitter analogy you draw is just a mention, not a "tagging"
wolftune joined the channel
#
tantek
you can (should) still send webmentions for "just" mentions, and thus you get the Twitter "start a new thread" functionality
#
tantek
person-tagging is for when someone is part of the *subject* of a post, e.g. the post is about them (whether text or a photo of them)
#
rhiaro
tantek: okay, that makes sense, just overthinking I guess
#
Loqi
rhiaro: tantek left you a message 1 day, 9 hours ago: the examples of "that I probably don't need to create a post for." are all things that actually make sense as explicit posts with their own permalinks that you can update or delete! http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-04-12/line/1428904221618
#
Loqi
rhiaro: tantek left you a message 1 day, 9 hours ago: " this presents another point for confusion: when do I like a post, and when do I like the fact you published it" <-- precisely why separate Activities vs. Objects is *bad* (confusing) for the user model, thus bad overall and to be avoided. http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-04-12/line/1428904302766

circles on G+ is just a fancy UI for what a lot of people do on Facebook with setting up lists.

I have a 'Wikipedians' list on Facebook so I don't spam non-Wikipedia friends with stuff that's not of interest to them.
#
tantek
winghouchan: the right question to ask is, what's your personal website? which then links to the silo profiles (like Twitter) ;)
#
petermolnar
tantek I've read that one as well, but I'm still thinking how the mentioned medium.com social experience could be done with indie sites; we used to have webrings an awful long time ago, is there anything similar nowadays?
#
tantek
the point about "Recommend" in the Medium UI caught my eye
#
tantek
I'd suggest coming up with an indie version of that before any reminiscent stuff ;)
#
tantek
on Ello: "By the time I actually gained access to the website, however, everyone I know had already moved on and there wasn't really anything interesting for me on there."
#
petermolnar
that's what I'm trying to do, but I need the brainstorm, because I cannot figure it out on my own
#
tantek
when you're not sure, then do less. e.g. how closely can you mimic the "Recommend" feature?
#
tommorris
petermolnar: I find the whole medium "channels"/"magazines" thing pretty arbitrary. like I heard an interview with someone who was identified as being a staff writer for Matter, a channel on Medium. it's trying to recreate in digital land the idea of a publication or curatorship, but I just get feeds from Medium of people I care about regardless of which
#
tommorris
arbitrary publication they write for.
#
tantek
petermolnar: perhaps start with documenting ti
#
tantek
s/ ti/ it
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: petermolnar: perhaps start with documenting it
#
tantek
what is Recommend?
#
tommorris
there's plenty of stuff that's interesting about medium that would be worth documenting
#
tantek
tommorris: the context is what feature of medium a 19 year old said made it interesting
#
tantek
what is medium
#
Loqi
Medium is an article hosting silo https://indiewebcamp.com/Medium

aaronpk indeed
#
tantek
let's start backwards
#
tantek
what calendar app are you using?
#
aaronpk
iOS system calendar and Google Calendar
#
tantek
you check two calendar apps?
#
tantek
and is it really called "iOS system calendar" ?!?
#
tantek
from an indieweb perspective, the real question is how do we aggregate all the events we're interested in onto our own *sites* (nevermind someone else's app)
#
tantek
and then POSSE it out to where ever we want notifications / mobile etc.
#
tantek
aaronpk do you have an aaronparecki.com/calendar where it aggregates all your RSVPs and Events?

and then displays them as a calendar?
#
tantek
mobile friendly even? ;)
#
tantek
(just saying)

then your mobile calendar "app" could just be a homescreen bookmark of aaronparecki.com/calendar

aaronpk: i'm totally reliant on gcal at the moment, but andrei sambra has made a really nice looking linked data based clone. I just need to fix/tweak a few things, then I'm hoping I can just use that with my blog event/rsvp posts which are already available as rdf

funny to hear you both say how reliant you are on gcal or " can not [sic] use google calendar"

Kylewm, I stopped using post formats, but the title and caption would often match

i really like the weekly grid view
#
tantek
time is a stream, not a grid
#
KevinMarks_
that's agenda view
#
aaronpk
it's more convenient to be able to see mornings all next to each other
#
rhiaro
I don't just use it for events, I use it for time management in general
#
aaronpk
also i have a lot of multi-day events that span across the top of the week
#
aaronpk
those look terrible in stream views
#
GWG
I'll wait for someone to get an Indieweb version of Google Now
#
rhiaro
seeing time in coloured blocks helps me get a much better feel for how long I have for/between things

aaronpk - for multi day events I add them as all day events for each day
#
KevinMarks_
hm, did my foursquare calendar import break?
#
aaronpk
i manage the airbnb rentals using the weekly view too, I don't know how I'd do that without it
#
rhiaro
I have a printout on my wall with days as coloured in squares to help me feel how long I have until deadlines/trips/etc, too. Without being able to see it all at once I tend to struggle to get a sense of time at all..
#
tantek
aaronpk - ooh a business like that with a resource that needs allocation - perhaps that's a good use-case
#
aaronpk
i have to make sure the cleaner is scheduled between each guest, and gcal is the only place I can see both the bookings and the cleanings

#
GWG
You people are much more organized than I am
#
aaronpk
so anyway it is unlikely I will move away from google calendar any time soon, tho if an equivalent one I could run on my server popped up I could use it
#
aaronpk
luckily iCal files make it easy to send meeting requests between completely separate calendar systems so it's pretty interoperable
#
aaronpk
the problem is google's Inbox is now trying to be smart about auto-adding things to your calendar, like flights when you get flight confirmation emails, and I would lose that moving to something non-gcal
#
tantek
aaronpk: the problem with google calendar is that it does not send a unique user agent when querying ics feeds, and it misunderstands robots no-crawl directives as no-subscribe
#
tantek
gcal subs are broken
#
aaronpk
i dunno if "broken" is the right word...

i have several external ical subscriptions in my gcal and it works pretty well

only because those ical subs don't mind getting pounded by google's spiders

which not all servers (e.g. indie) can handle

this is an interesting point of view, substitute silo mentions for implied post types:

I didn't see the point of checkin-only posts for years

tantek
and the old Dodgeball txting UI was so simple http://microformats.org/wiki/dodgeball-syntax that it made it very efficient to do so
#
rhiaro
tantek: yeah, I get it in principle now, but I never knew enough people use it
#
tantek
rhiaro: I'd be curious what helped you "get it in principle"
#
rhiaro
and most people I did know to use it just checked into their house all the time
#
rhiaro
tantek: that rationale you just gave
#
rhiaro
meeting people serendipitously
#
rhiaro
occured to me at some point. Though I never actually made use of it
#
tantek
my second use-case is personal tracking where I don't mind if my friends know where I am (and almost feel implicitly connected that they do know)
#
rhiaro
also I've been largely trained not to talk to strangers, so it never seemed like a super good idea
#
tantek
like I have no expectation of anyone showing up there, but just nice to know that some friends may know where I am
#
tantek
third use-case: I use it sometimes for friends-only note publishing - that just happens to happen at a venue
#
rhiaro
personal tracking I definitely get, it was the publishing part I didn't
#
tantek
often times you can get a pretty personal view of "how was your day?" by checking my Swarm feed
bengo joined the channel
#
rhiaro
so if there's a note attached with a location, it's not a checkin-only post to me
#
rhiaro
I just remember seeing one person syndicating foursquare to twitter, and it was a constant stream of "Alex is at home"
#
tantek
rhiaro: in that way, I'm repurposing the "checkin with comment" as a "friends-only note with venue"
#
tantek
right I don't do syndicate 4sq publicly to Twitter (at least not not accidentally :P http://indiewebcamp.com/checkins#Tantek )
#
tantek
rhiaro: I think people go through a "checking into home" phase
#
tantek
eventually you realize it's pretty sad if that's all you have to checkin to
#
tantek
as opposed to, checking in at home to announce hey games night is on - come on over
#
aaronpk
i only check in at home if there's an event there, like i'm hosting a party or something
#
rhiaro
home -> pub -> home -> pub -> home -> pub
#
tantek
rhiaro: well that's transparent at least
#
aaronpk
same with my office
#
tantek
and just like tracking what you eat, maybe it will help alter your habits
#
rhiaro
I will probably check in to cities
#
rhiaro
but likely not narrow it down further
#
KevinMarks_
foursquare is now sending me "people went to X next" notifications
#
rhiaro
without a specific reason
#
KevinMarks_
which is probably cool in NYC, but I get "near starbucks? after starbucks people go to Safeway"
#
tantek
you can Swarm do that for you automatically - the city/neighborhood granularity
#
tantek
and it doesn't show up in your history
#
tantek
hah KevinMarks_ that is funny
#
rhiaro
although there is this one tea shop that if I checked in to every time I was there it would probably be noticeable
#
tantek
realtime checkins work better for serendipity with denser cities
#
tantek
outside of dense cities, there is little to no impact on serendipity
#
KevinMarks_
fb survey's gender popup is Othering
#
rhiaro
ooh also if I publicly checked into places in London I'd definitely get responses from people offended I wasn't meeting up with them while I was around
#
rhiaro
because there are too many people in London and never enough time
#
tantek
rhiaro: the defense against that is to announce a plan when you reach London (e.g. this night here etc.) and then ask people to try to meetup on one of those if they can
#
tantek
turn it from your responsibility into theirs, should they feel so entitled to your presence
#
rhiaro
my london friends are mostly shit. They don't make effort, then complain anyway :p
#
rhiaro
so I alternate between them on every trip, and still don't feel like I see anyone enough
#
dariusdunlap
tantek: I don’t really agree about lower density serendipity. In a dense area, you might come to ignore who’s nearby. But if I see that you’re anywhere in Half Moon Bay, I might drive over to find you.
#
tantek
hence the defense
#
KevinMarks_
yes, when I go to london I do a "pub night" or dinner
#
KevinMarks_
which are often fun, 'cos people show up who should know each other
#
tantek
rhiaro: the announce your own firm plan strategy also is a good filter to see who cares enough to make the effort
#
tantek
then on subsequent trips you can make the effort with them
#
rhiaro
Hm. Maybe I'm projecting. I'm the only one who ever makes an effort, so maybe it's me complaining I don't see them.
#
tantek
what KevinMarks said also
#
tantek
rhiaro: that's right, you need to provide the explicit opportunity for them to make the effort
#
rhiaro
yeah. I'd never see anyone.
#
tantek
dariusdunlap: that's a good point
#
aaronpk
agreed on the density thing, there's a spectrum
#
tantek
when I see faraway 4sq friends show up in SF, I typically alter plans to intercept them
#
aaronpk
working downtown portland there are always people checked in somewhere around me
#
rhiaro
KevinMarks_: what did you mean by "fb survey's gender popup is Othering"?
#
tantek
What is othering?
#
dariusdunlap
I think pre-annnounced intention to be somewhere is an important variation… the KevinMarks_ pub night works best if people hear about it before it’s happening and can plan to show up.
#
KevinMarks_
othering is offering gender options male/female/other, instead of a free text field, making it clear that they are for marketing purposes, not self-expression.

wow that is a good summary KevinMarks_

yes gRegor, using that term deiberately
#
gRegor`
Just sharing for logs / possible expansion of the page
#
gRegor`
Oh yeah, I've watched that. Good talk :)
#
tantek
another aspect I like about checkins is that in their simplest form, they remove the cogntive load of having to come up with something to say (a note)
#
tantek
just, hey, I'm here at this venue right now.
#
aaronpk
that's the same reason I sometimes post photos with no text
#
KevinMarks_
dariusdunlap: i have had that experience of going to SF to see people from out of town when they visit
#
rhiaro
good also if you're at a busy place and want to find out if other people have arrived yet, and whether to look for them
#
tantek
by making the "note" secondary as a "comment" on the checkin, it also makes it ok to just put something minimal that only makes sense in the context of the checkin
#
KevinMarks_
then they move to SF and I don't see them in 2 years
e-lima joined the channel
#
tantek
like I checkin to the market and might just put a list of what I bought
#
tantek
without any other context
#
tantek
the checkin is still primary, despite there being a text bit that accompanies it
#
KevinMarks_
I also checkin to places when travelling (airports, cafes etc) for future expense report tracking
#
tantek
the checkin makes sense without the text bit, however the text bit does not make sense without the checkin
#
KevinMarks_
and it was very handy when my immigration form needed all my foreign trips for 5 years
#
tantek
"for future expense report tracking" sounds like a subset of "personal tracking"

"#LRT" or "LastReTweet" is terrible UI. Twitter needs repost + comment #IndieWebCamp (btmb.me s/8k) (https://ben.thatmustbe.me/note/2015/4/14/1/)

ben_thatmustbeme: aren't the new QTs are RT+comment?

#
KevinMarks_
they show on the android app for me on my phone, but not on the tablet

ben_thatmustbeme
how does one quote a tweet?

because "user interface consistency" is why twitter killed 3rd party clients

#
ben_thatmustbeme
rhiaro: i think you are, mine shows them
#
rhiaro
KevinMarks_: default twitter client
#
rhiaro
hmm, it isn't offering me an update
#
rhiaro
aha, opening the play store triggered it
#
rhiaro
I have a backlog of updates seeking my approval, oops
#
snarfed
gRegor`: updated my wm plugin, feel free to resend if you want

ben_thatmustbeme: I get the notifications that way
snarfed joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
weird, you get notification of it, but not the quote view
#
ben_thatmustbeme
notification text must be specified by the server then
#
gRegor`
snarfed: Re-sent. No change, unless the page is caching (I think it was last time)

gRegor`: huh. odd. you got a 200, right?
#
gRegor`
Yeah
#
snarfed
what's your permalink? (hard to discover notes/replies from browsing your site)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
need to get bridgy to support QTs too
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well, kind of needs twitter to show QTs i suppose
#
snarfed
can i politely decline? :P
#
snarfed
kidding :P
#
snarfed
pull requests welcome!
#
gRegor`
snarfed: My permalink? It's on your post, just didn't pull in the content. Might still be a semantic linkbacks bug. http://gregorlove.com/notes/2015/03/22/1/
#
ben_thatmustbeme
any time i see that, i am always tempted to fork, delete all, then create a pull request
#
ben_thatmustbeme
any time i see "pull requests welcome" just because "not ALL pull requests"
#
snarfed
oh that PR would still be welcome
#
snarfed
and entertaining
#
snarfed
just not merged :P
#
gRegor`
haha
#
ben_thatmustbeme
snarfed: not in #indiechat?
#
snarfed
ben_thatmustbeme: nope
#
gRegor`
That way lie distractions
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well... i can come up with some unwelcome pull requests
#
snarfed
gRegor`: thanks! weird, it didn't email me. ok, added ot my todo list
#
ben_thatmustbeme
okay, headed home
#
snarfed
gRegor`: ahhhh i was confused, it was an existing comment on a different post. ok. yeah just caching. bane of my existence. cleared that cache item.
#
gRegor`
Yay!
#
Loqi
does a happy dance!
#
kylewm
snarfed: are you using the WP caching plugin that had the big security issue last week?
#
kylewm
Super Cache iirc
#
snarfed
kylewm: yeah. i was already updated when the news broke.
#
tantek

aaronpk: +1 your idea to have loqi shorten those wiki links
#
Loqi
dude
tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
yeah that would make it less noisy in the online logs
#
tantek
also less intimidating to click when it's a bunch of query gobbledygook
#
tantek
*than when
#
aaronpk
i can't even click them in my irc client cause it wraps two lines
#
tantek
hmm do we have an IWC short domain yet?
#
tantek
per the principle of tying short domains to domains to minimize cross-site maintenance breakage
#
tantek
also takes less work because you simply alias/redirect the shortdomain then handle the shortpath on the main site

#
aaronpk
shortest related domain i have is indieweb.org
#
aaronpk
yeah an indiewebcamp short domain would be better than loqi.me
#
aaronpk
I don't think I can get iwc.* on any TLD tho
#
kylewm
even just indiewebcamp.com/s/abcd1234 would be fine
#
kylewm
doesn't have to be bit.ly short
#
aaronpk
okay adding that to the list
tantek joined the channel
#
gRegor`
indieweb.camp ?
#
aaronpk
i think someone already registered that
#
aaronpk
oh it's christophe! I bet he'd let me take it over

KevinMarks
how about a .guide or .help for defintions?
#
tantek
KevinMarks you know better than that :P
#
tantek
aaronpk benwerd there's a simpler path to "This is the end of email miscommunication."

Kevinmarks, you know what works better than .help for help? /help ;)
