#GWGJust realized...the person who lifelogs as much as he can wants to remove his address from as many things as possible. I find that worthy of thought.
#aaronpkhm oregon doesn't let you do that apparently. "A mailing service (drop box) may be used for your mailing address but not for your residence address."
#GWGsnarfed, I get some of those things. But the misspelling of names deliberately is a hallmark of fraud in my business, and I don't quite get why your car needs to be in the name of an LLC

#LoqiPlumbing in the context of the IndieWeb, refers to all the underlying code, backend setup, protocols, formats that is all merely there to support the design and user experience of a site, the actual user visible and interactive parts https://indiewebcamp.com/pipe_dream
#tantekironically found that cartoon via CNNHD (yes, actual cable broadcast television), which showed the cartoon but attributed Facebook/Deniz Yurdakul - which was enough information to find it, and then I was able to read her Turkish to understand that she was reposting it (in agreement) from another French person, and then after more digging found the source
#tantekwait does anyone here implement reposts of photo posts?!?
#tantekI'm asking before I start wade deeper into the rabbithole (than anyone else has gone?)
#LoqiA 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
#tantekhowever IG does not post photos to Twitter - only URLs to the permalinks on their site
#tantekand since IG refuses to add Twitter-proprietary Twitter card meta tags, Twitter shows no image on that cross-post
#tantekfaced with the choice of 1) native retweet of the cross-posted tweet of the original IG photo that lacks a photo, or 2) POSSE of your photo repost to Twitter *with* photo, I'm thinking 2) makes more sense, yet wonder if there's some way to connect it to the cross-posted tweet of the original IG
#aaronpkI keep forgetting I set up post-by-email with Quill. I should use that more often.
#aaronpkcertainly a quick way to get a photo onto my site
#tantekdoes it follow the same email-to-post conventions as Flickr?
#tantek"You can use the subject line to give your photo or video a title and the body to add a description. You can also use a special code to add tags before you send your email."
#tantekpost by email is a feature for publishing new content on a website by emailing a special email address, supported by some [[micropub]] publishing clients (like [[Quill]]) and some [[silos]] (like [[Flickr]]).
#GWGThe other problem is that I write a plugin that is used by a few others. So, while I won't let that stop me from making changes, I have to be aware of it.
#tantekbenwerd's recent blog post touched on the problems of open source entitlement attitudes
#GWGacegiak wants multikind support...the ability for a post to both like and reply, for example. I have the hook if someone ever wants to write it in, but I'm not going to spend any amount of time building it.
#tantekGWG, yes, thus it is better to have a (very) small dedicated (micro)community around your open source project rather than a big following
#tantekGWG, I have a similar itch now, which is a post which is both a repost and a photo post.

#GWGMy entire design was based on a single kind per post. But I haven't gotten to a photo repost.
#tantekto be clear, a repost of any kind of post I currently support: note, article, RSVP (maybe not a repost of a like - not sure that makes much sense)
#tantekinterestingly enough, I already support a reply which is a note (default), and a reply which is an article
#GWGI have repost at the same level as other kinds of posts.
#tantekI don't know what would happen if I tried to post a reply which is a photo - it is theoretically supported in /Falcon code but I've never tried it
#GWGBut you seem to be suggesting that a repost is a property of kinds of posts, rather than one itself.
#tantekcorrect - because the kind is from the thing you are reposting!
#tantekaaronpk - yeah seriously - does a repost of a like make sense to you? would you ever want to do that?
#aaronpki think there is maybe one time i would do that... if someone significant liked something of mine i might want to highlight that
#aaronpkin fact i think i've seen that happen with screenshots before

#[kevinmarks]“the 140-character limit is creating a weird new idiolect of hashtags and compacted URLs, he’s right. Tons of the stuff in Twitter don’t look remotely like human language now, and that’s commonly the most interesting stuff”
#[snarfed]the bridgy docs are terse, they don't enumerate everything bridgy doesn't support, and they don't explicitly call out RTs with photos vs without because twitter itself doesn't really distinguish... but let me know if you think they're incomplete
#tanteksnarfed, thanks! would bridgy publish interpret a repost photo post as a photo post for the sake of POSSEing to Facebook?
#[snarfed]if the post has a u-repost-of, i think bridgy will complain since FB can't publish shares
#tanteksnarfed, what if we flipped this around a little, what if Bridgy Publish *only* gave a "can't repost" error IF you tried to Bridgy Publish a repost of a Facebook permalink
#tantekthat is, "can't native repost" if the u-repost-of is a facebook.com URL
#tantekspecifically, multi-replies that have u-in-reply-to both to the indie post (non tweet), and u-in-reply-to to the POSSE tweet copy of that indie post
j12t joined the channel
#[snarfed]i think that will work and posse an @-reply
#tantekI wonder if in that case Bridgy Publish would be smart enough to see that there is *a* u-in-reply-to to a Twitter permalink, and use it, rather than attempting to apply too much intelligence to the *first* u-in-reply-to in my post

#tantekhmm - looks like unwinding this desire to get photo reposts working is going to get me to implement key pieces of my replacement for Markdown syntax for autolinking things
#tantekupon reflecting on plain text publishing patterns, I'm leaning more towards content first, and hyperlinking of it second (rather than vice versa)
#KartikPrabhuthat's why I think I struggle with shortening my notes for twitter
#tantekthe time away from my Markdown brainstorming has given me a detached enough perspective to see improvements I couldn't see months ago last time I touched it
#tantekprocrastination useful as perspective shift detachment enough for a different enough opinion and re-assessment
#tantekif you can depend on your future self to be different enough from your present self to provide a second opinion on something, when is the additional perspective worth the time delay?
#KartikPrabhuall the more complicated stuff was still complicated in Markdown
#tantekso perhaps that is the key - avoid adding syntax without experience, no matter how much of a sense of "completeness" may pressure you to do so, or people may make feature requests for it
#KartikPrabhubut again, I am sure Markdown makes sense in Gruber's head
#KartikPrabhubut to me it is completely uninituitive
#tantekagreed - and perl makes sense in some people's heads too
#tantekI am starting with just tantek.com/w/Markdown#Hyperlinkedimages - the rest beyond that were brainstorms that I will likely re-assess as I gain experience with just this bit
#tantekgoing to implement it as part of autolink, as an enhancement of the "do embeds" boolean param - as I can't think of a case where anyone would want auto-embedding (creating of images etc.) and not the additional functionality of linking those embeds
#tantekor rather, redefining the "do embeds" param to mean "do the replacement for Markdown" which I suppose will then need an actual name, shortly

#tantekand code review after sleep was the right answer, was able to shorten it and find one more case to handle
#tantekand it's live. just updated my /cassis.js to support http://tantek.com/w/Markdown#Hyperlinkedimages - which means all my images/photos in my posts that used to just link to their .jpg, now instead link to the URL that *follows* the .jpg in the plain text content, which I've been authoring as a while as the URL to the page with the image (e.g. the IG URL)
#tantekAs well as something more sensible happening when you click on images in my notes/photo posts, this means that the next photo post I POSSE via Bridgy to FB/Twitter will no longer start with an instagram.com URL. Cleaning up my POSSE posts one bit at a time.
#tantekall my photo posts now have u-syndication links to their Instagram copies
#tantekhoping that means some backfeed from Bridgy will show up!
#tantekand now I'm going to take a break and appreciate those new improvements on my site before I consider design/implementation details for https://indiewebcamp.com/Falcon#person_tags especially in a plain text way
#tantek!tell aaronpk in Quill's /post_by_email support, do you have a way to person-tag people in the photo? e.g. would #tantek.com or #http://tantek.com cause Quill to make those into person-tags in the subsequent post, especially photo post?
#tantekso people are *seeing* facebook/person - thus learning it - thus it is becoming more understandable
#bearmutters something passive/aggressive about following "the media" for anything
#tantekbear - it's a good indicator - if they're putting text patterns out on billboards etc. it's likely they've measured how usable/understandable they are with user studies etc.
#bearsure, I do get that -- i'm just flumoxed at how many patterns I think are normal and simple that are avoided by mainstream folks
#tantekbear - that's because you see many more patterns as a programmer :)
#tantekand thus have learned them as normal and simple
#bearresource@location is one that has been around for decades -- but yet it's now avoided because it's too tightly associated with email which was not it's original use case
#[shaners]`tantek:twitter` which would default to .com, but could also explicity but a tld on the right side of the colon if need like, tantek:bit.ly (or whatever)
#petermolnarit's not that nasty, postfix w/postscreen + dovecot + dspam + opendkim + opendmarc + gpg signed messages are not usually ending up as spam
#aaronpkalso i keep seeing things in the logs where it looks like it's trying to send email to people it shouldn't, and it's not configured as an open relay, so i don't really understand what's going on
#[shaners]i think you’ve just got `:` ptsd :wink: tantek
#tantekpossibly - yet why introduce new punctuation when none is needed?
#tantekhence why I think the media went from facebook.com/username to facebook/username
#[shaners]but the pattern that I see more these days is `Site/@username`
#bearsure, I was just noting what I thought could be the reason media folks started using that pattern - it's staring at them at the top of the browsers every day
#[shaners]I know that. I’m just saying they’re be a closer association between the “shorthand” and the actual URL if sites used /@username URLs
#tantekbear - sure, the why is less important than the existence of it - for the sake of design and repurposing
#tantekshaners - I'm mixed about that - as I think @-name already has a very strong Twitter association that would likely confuse other sites
#[shaners]i think it might could be a issue for preprocessing shorthands before publishing / POSSEing.
#tantekshaners, it totally is, an issue/*feature* for preprocessing shorthands before publishing/POSSEing :)
#tantekit's the whole point of why I'm building it the way I am - to go from plain text-ish authoring storage -> HTML that works on my website and for POSSE purposes
#[shaners]like your editor (or whatever alchemy you use to write) turns facebook/@tantek (or whichever shorthand you use) into a real life HTML link (or whichever format is appropriate for where youre POSSEing to).
#tantekshaners, the key is I'm not fixing Markdown to fix Markdown, I'm fixing Markdown as a side-effect of incrementally improving my plain-text authoring format for real world needs one feature at a time, based on real world plain text publishing patterns.
#tantekI mean, somethings Markdown is horribly out of date with
#[shaners]oh, i’ve read your wiki page about it :wink:
#tantekheh. well a wiki rant is one thing. incremental self-dogfooded implementation is another :)
#tantekhence I've started noting on the wiki page which sections are implemented in cassis
#tantekit's actually been really useful to write down the rants/ideas/thoughts/proposals first, have folks critque them in public, have myself come back to them and re-assess them, before ever implementing anything
#[shaners]toads. so you don’t get to married to any particular idea *just* because you already coded it.
#tantekalso an advantage of writing sloppy / hacky code, you're less attached to all its implicit design decisions ;)
#tantekseriously so relieved that my home page doesn't have a bunch of instagram.com URLs in the clear text cluttering up my posts.
#[shaners]all code is sloppy/hacky on a long enough curve :wink:
#tantekI feel like these are small victories that I can share in here but are not worth posting about because they seem like subtle details.

#aaronpk+1 for posting short posts about site updates!
#tantekI'm going to selfdogfood these cassis auto_link changes for a bit before updating the copy on github
#aaronpki have never regretted doing that. also helps me track down *when* a particular feature launched. much easier to search my posts for that than searching git commits

#tantekaaronpk: heh - I keep text notes of all my even obscure minor bugfix changes to Falcon
#tantekseriously considering generating silo person-tag markup like <a class="auto-link u-category" href="https://www.facebook.com/snarfed.org">Facebook/snarfed.org</a> from plain text of "Facebook/snarfed.org", contextually of course, e.g. immediately after a photo img/permalink URL(s), and "With ..." prefixing the plain text person tags

#tantekkevinmarks_: disagreed re: person-tags in content. common usage of person-tagging nearly everywhere (except 4sq) is in a separate section - all other use of person names in content in practice on silos are *mentions* - not tags
#tantekalso disagreed re: annoying about SWAT0 defn - as person-tagging is an explicit thing that has UI/UX/meaningful expectations above and beyond "mentions" which is why we chose it for SWAT0

#tanteknow I'm seeing references like @-name/Periscope on CNN
#tantekI wonder if that's because the @-name is assumed to already be their identity and the /Periscope is just one particular "channel" from that identity
#tantekeven Foursquare has something subtle going on
#tantekthey actually show person-tags *separately* from the inline person-mentions - in a little mini-face-pile at the bottom just above the (Cancel) (Checkin) buttons
#tantekI see the confusion - when you mention someone inline, the mention is captured as an uneditable person-mention, *and* their editor/UI auto-adds every person-mention as a person-tag as well in the bottom list
#tantekhowever, each person-tag has a little orange circle with white x on its lower left quadrant, and clicking that will remove the person-tag (but leave the person-mention)

#tantekwould any reader or other consuming code do anything interesting with hashtags marked up as tags?
#tanteke.g. #Paris marked up as #<span class="p-category">Paris</span> ?
#tantekthinking of adding that to cassis auto_link
#tantekwhich, I think I'm now fairly convinced of the #-domain-name pattern as a way to explicitly person-tag as opposed to just person-mention
#tantekone challenge is a plain text format for multi-url-person-tags
#tanteke.g. if I want to tag aaron.pk and @aaronpk explicitly when authoring (since I don't have a nicknames cache to do it automatically / conditioninally per silo etc.)
#snarfedtantek: granary consumes and handles *-category when converting to atom, AS, etc
#tantekalso for Bridgy Publish convenience because I'm not going to assume that Bridgy can figure out the indieweb -> silo profile mapping for person-tags (it's a second phase feature request in the gh issue)
