#dhalgrenwhat do ppl here think about the solid project? https://github.com/solid/solid-spec . I was thinking about an approach compatible with both IndieWeb and this RDF-heavy stuff
#dhalgrenlike, a site on a personal domain for IndieWeb serializing/deserializing between microformats2 and turtle, based on examples of equivalences in the ActivityStream2 specs or something like that
#dhalgrenand pushing turtle to some external LDP server
#kevinmarksan academic network? Is this primarily for students and professors?
#dhalgrentantek: github was my intention for a static page, or I might go crazy with the free heroku instance if this serializer/deserializer stuff happens. Carnet offers some web hosting services too, so I could just go all "communist" as well :)
#dhalgrenkevinmarks: most of their services are - like cheaper internet connectivity for studends/professors and the like. But they're also where all .hr domain are registered; so academic, business or personal
#tantekdhalgren: the nice thing about starting with github static pages is that you can later switch to deploying from github to Heroku etc. as a transition.
#kevinmarksis there enough backend support to run Known?
#kevinmarksmy site is a heroku instance because in theory I was going to write some backend code, but in practice it could just be a static directory
#dhalgrenI gotta check the pdf with terms of services; but I think (and really don't hold me for this) they offer just wordpress hosting.

#dhalgren`reading some old irc logs; apparently ppl here think stand-alone feed readers are just a legacy dead-end?
#dhalgren`idk, my recent experience has been quite the opposite; migrating from a silo to just a feed reader was quite liberating, and precisely because it discouraged interaction. I could go through a bunch of feeds over coffee and waste way way less time on rather useless online discussions
#dhalgren`though I could see why they'd be a dead end both technologically and from a perspective of mass appeal...
#dhalgren`wait, I'm apparently reading a huge old irc log of a discussion you participated in, KartikPrabhu :) -- on trust-less micropub instead of webactions/indie-config stuff. did ppl get that running? are there examples of the UI? I'm wondering if the extra redirect to confirm is just irritating UX or does it flow naturally
#KartikPrabhudhalgren`: not sure what the latest is, should be documented on the wiki
#voxpelliI think standalone indieweb consumers / indie readers has much appeal
#voxpelliI see little reason to couple publishing tools with consumption tools
#KartikPrabhuvoxpelli: but that seems to be the primary reason silos are popular
#voxpelliKartikPrabhu: I think silos are popular because their are great readers / clients – not because they host your data
#dhalgren`quite likely, but that may still leave a bunch of ppl who prefer different kinds of interactions, just maybe caught in the network effect of the big silos (ie having all their friends there etc).
#voxpelliIf eg. Facebook were to be a reader for Indieweb content I would have much less problem with it
#dhalgren`like, google reader had a strong niche appeal. perhaps if made more "social" it would've been a better shot at some traction for google in the social sphere than what G+ ended up being
#KartikPrabhudhalgren`: yes that's why I said depends on your personal use-case
#voxpelliGood thing with indie readers are that people can pick their own client and still participate in same network
#KartikPrabhudhalgren`: Google Reader had nice appeal. But that's about it. All my "nerd" friends used it but not much beyond that
#KartikPrabhuvoxpelli: yes exactly. People who don't want a in-built reader might use a service
#dhalgren`KartikPrabhu: sure - still that's not a bad userbase to start with. today new social networks seem to specialize and target (or just end up with?) particular subdemographics, for the "generic net" category seems to be taken. I just mean, maybe building from that base would've gone further than trying yet another fb/twitter clone that late in the game
#dhalgren`not sure re buzz; wasn't following it at the time

#dhalgren`I'm still trying to wrap my head around this webaction story; so this trustless micropub version is where one gives only a to-be-moderated "comment" auth token, and actually the app that posts to your resource is your app, just pre-filled with the values sent by the form, whereas indie-config makes it so that any <indie-action> markuped actions are handled by your code, wherever on the web you find them, because you registered that c
#dhalgren`with your browser as a handler of that component type?
nitot joined the channel
#voxpellidhalgren`: indie-config/webaction specifies a page/URL to be opened with some params specified
#voxpelliMimics how eg Twitter buttons works today
#voxpelliIndie-config specify a way to tell the site about what URL:s to open for what actions
#dhalgren`w/a trust between the servers? who actually does the POST to these urls? his code or yours?
#dhalgren`I thought I load some javascript of myown to post to my site in the indie-config case
#voxpellidhalgren`: there are no POST involved in indie-config/webaction, just one GET to receive config and then regular browser window for opening URL specified in config
#dhalgren`nvm, will read more, not fair to ask to be spoon-fed this way
#voxpelliIdea with indie-config/webaction is to prototype something that eventually could be implemented by browsers themselves
#dhalgren`there's that step at the beggining where you need to tell your browser how to handle web+action links, and there's some js scripts to load, soo I thought the code there takes control somehow when the browser follows a webaction link
#voxpellidhalgren`: that code is just a hack to load a JSON-config from a user-defined URL
#dhalgren`heh, I was thinking (plz bear with the nebulousness of the idea for a moment plz) - what if I never left my site at all? say that when I want to visit a socially-enabled site, I just tell my site to pull its h-feed somehow. Then I can easily comment and publish comments, all I need for interoperability is send a notification, and PuSH
#dhalgren`plus I get a consistent look out of my web experience, as I'm usually irritated that I can't just theme all the web like I can a text editor (say zenburn and all looks that way)
#voxpelliIt can receive WebMentions + has a Micropub interface, and I'm working on adding more
#dhalgren`code I've got is hakyll, a haskell clone of jekyll, perhaps slightly more flexible (or so I've heard but haven't compared myself). Code makes me vomit when I look at it these days, but will likely be what builds ver. 0.1 :)
#voxpelliI use GitHub Pages so I don't even run Jekyll myself :)
#dhalgren`I'll take a look at how you do things; should be similar to what I need to do
#tantek!tell aaronpk I'm seeing errors on new etherpads on IndieWebCamp like: "Warning: DirtyDB is used. This is fine for testing but not recommended for production. -- To suppress these warning messages change suppressErrorsInPadText to true in your settings.json" e.g. on http://etherpad.indiewebcamp.com/indiewebcamp-sf
#tantekbengo, sounds like Google Cloud is too much of a pain to bother setting up - or too vulnerable to being too much of a pain if anything goes wrong.
#tantekhmm what's the difference/relation between Google Cloud and Google Compute Engine?
#GWGSince I divide features into plugins, I'd classify webactions as a separate plugin.

#tantekGWG, makes sense, if a feature is unnecessary for you, then it is right to leave it out

#aaronpkhmm. well i can just make that warning not show up.
#aaronpkokay warning is hidden for now. will add that as a todo to switch to sqlite after importing all the pads
#tantekI think we need to add Etherpad archiving to an explicit thing that IndieWebCamp organizers need to do, because so far we are 50/50 at best of session organizers archiving their own etherpads.
#aaronpkcause this is not about a perfect solution. it's about making it easier for people to move the content to the wiki. Kind of like how we use "____ is" in IRC to create wiki stubs.
#LoqiiCloud is what Apple summarily calls all of its various online services such as iCloud identifiers, online storage, syncing, etc https://indiewebcamp.com/iCloud
#tantek!tell ben_thatmustbeme could you double-check the RSVPs for the FB event for indiewebcamp.com/2015/MIT and add the late RSVPs to the /2015/MIT/Guest_List? E.g. I know at least Yan was a late addition. Thanks!
#GWGBut, glad we are all once again united if there was one
