I am thinking of officially abandoning IWC in NYC in favor of a separate event if a venue comes through
#
tantek
you mean picking a new date?
#
tantek
for IWC NYC?

GWG
tantek: Picking a date subsequent to finding a venue.
#
tantek
makes sense
#
tantek
if you can do simultaneous with Edinburgh that would be cool too!
#
tantek
plus only 5 hours apart makes it easier to collaborate
#
GWG
tantek: Maybe the NYT or bear's efforts with Mozilla will bear fruit
#
GWG
Otherwise, there is always Deli and HWC
#
bear
GWG - i'm thinking that we just hold a IWC-cloud
KevinMarks__ joined the channel
#
GWG
bear: That is my plan.
#
GWG
bear, but if anyone ever gets back to you...new event?
#
bear
as soon as I find out you will be the first I contact
#
bear
for me it's a quick train ride to NYC so even if we find out on the day before I can still make it
#
GWG
The more notice, the more likely newcomers will show
#
tantek
it sounds like there may be critical mass for a IWC SF / bayarea remote site too

Maybe another IWC online as well

aaronpk, the authorization_code can only be used once, so what do you do to avoid replaying the same authorization_code?

good morning indieweb

pfefferle: Good morning, I have been awaiting your return.

pfefferle
GWG saw your changes and merged them earlier today

GWG will push some more changes later today and also release a new WordPress directory version

pfefferle
thanks a lot GWG++ :)

GWG
pfefferle: Would you be able to look at the Webmentions changes?
#
pfefferle
GWG a, sorry, thought you also removed them. Will also try to merge your changes on the WebMention plugin
#
GWG
The combination of the notifications changes in that with the filter hook in Semantic Linkbacks fixes the notifications problems
#
GWG
pfefferle: I rewrote the pull completely
#
pfefferle
pleasy wait before starting to work on the semantic linkback plugin… I reformatted the complete code to follow the WordPress coding guidelines...

GWG let me know.

I have syndication from my micropub client/backend working again!

jonnybarnes
in refactoring the code I’ve dropped support for the older `syndicate-to` value that isn’t even on the wiki page anymore

jonnybarnes
it took a few minutes to work out what had gone wrong

GWG
jonnybarnes: What are you syndicating to?

jonnybarnes
atm, don’t know if I can be bothered setting up syndication to facebook

I tried to use Bridgy, but have to troubleshoot some things

does anybody know of other projects like dave winer's nodeStorage, that let a web application use a user-configurable data store location? ideally would be swappable among things like Dropbox/S3/github

Loqi
slack/snarfed: kylewm: very possible. i haven't looked at them in a long time. you do need *a* server for any webapp, though, right?
#
Loqi
slack/snarfed: maybe i misunderstand
#
kylewm
yes absolutely, i want to write a server app that stores data on a remote, user-configurable file system
#
kylewm
the projects people have written are definitely geared toward client apps
#
Loqi
slack/snarfed: right, OK. i thought unhosted etc did what you want when i looked at them years ago. maybe they've changed since then
#
Loqi
slack/snarfed: oh, i see what you mean, whether they talk to the storage apis JS or server side.

i saw you started working on a java microformats parser, is that for this project?
#
kylewm
nope that was kind of a lark
#
kylewm
i haven't started coding anything for the static site stuff, just little experiments so far
#
tantek
kylewm - the java mf2 parser could be a big help with adding mf2 stats to the open web crawls - because they use java for all their parsing analysis
#
kylewm
oh, neat. that sounds like it's worth exploring!

Is there any specific indieweb/microformat way of linking a transcript to an audio-post? I noticed some people using Spoken, sometimes even cross posting to their own site (e.g. https://brooksreview.net/category/sub/), but almost never including a transcript.

not that I know of, but gathering examples is the right way to start

bret
anyone have a good strategy to handle cron jobs or systemd timers that need access to a password? seems kinda ghetto to just leave unencrypted passwords around on a server
#
raucao
bret: you could write the script in a compiled language and just put the binary on the server
#
raucao
not sure if that's less ghetto :)
#
emmak
what is the password used for?
#
GWG
Fiddling with tweaking Geolocation. I think I need to find the language setting.

bret
raucao: omg thats kinda a good idea
#
emmak
bret: and this is running on a shared server?
#
bret
no, but as a learning process, im trying to set this up "correctly"
#
bret
just on a raspi
#
bret
its a sensitive password... to my domain registrar
#
emmak
i dont think there is really a correct way to do that
#
emmak
this is a drawback of plain password authentication
#
snarfed
bret: emmak: in the real world, depends on the threat model, sensitivity of the data, etc. for most of of us here, those are pretty small. :P
#
snarfed
honestly, if the server is maintained well and has a decent OS, plain text in a file with locked down permissions is usually good enough
#
bret
snarfed: cool! i figured unix permissions and visibility rules would be the most vanilla solution
KevinMarks__ joined the channel
#
snarfed
the common mistake/risk is passing it as a command line flag, which is then usually visible to all users
#
snarfed
is also curious what bear would say
#
bret
it bugs me when programs dont use a sanctioned keychain though ಠ_ಠ pidgin
#
bret
mainly because its a nice place to retreive old or lost passwords!
#
snarfed
heh fair
#
bret
but in this case, it seems like adding a keychain to the mix would decrease stability
#
bret
but im tempted to compile go binary with the password hardcoded into it
#
kylewm
Ha it'll still be plaintext in the binary, but I guess someone is less likely to look there
#
snarfed
strings [binary]
#
bret
just more work lol
#
bret
but then I can just toss the bin around

#
aaronpk
here's a thought, do you have a way to set up any sort of limited user account on your registrar?
#
aaronpk
AWS has a concept of "IAM" users which you can grant very limited privileges to
#
snarfed
yup, dedicated users are a common pattern for *nix daemons
#
aaronpk
no I mean at the registrar
#
aaronpk
in Linode I can do the same, making a user account that can only make DNS changes for example, but can't launch or shut down servers
#
snarfed
lacks context
#
snarfed
shuts up
#
bret
aaronpk: nope.... emailing support to see if they have some kind of limited api key I could set up
#
bret
ideally would only have permissions to update the IP on a single hostname
#
emmak
maybe you could set up another server, to change the dns for the first one :)
