#tanteknow thinking of expanding my image+URL auto-linking to video+image+URL to make it easier to paste video URL, poster URL, permalink URL and have it all auto-combine into a <video> element with poster, source src, and fallback link inside to the permalink
#snarfedkousu_xmpp: indieauth gives consumers your domain (ie web page), not your account on a silo
#snarfedthe indirection lets you switch silo providers invisibly without any consumers noticing or caring
#kousu_xmppI found python-social-auth for Flask, which lets me consume a bunch of identity servers, but it's a nuisance to set up each OAuth backend. At first glance, IndieAuth sort of looks like I could use it instead of PSA, except it forces all of my subscribers to have a website and put up their Web Sign In links.
#snarfedkousu_xmpp: true. if you want to accept silo logins directly, without web pages in the middle, indieauth isn't for you
#snarfedi'm guessing python-social-auth is basically the same thing
#rhiaroDreamhost sponsoring Known... led me to believe there would be a one-click install for Known in the Dreamhost control panel... but there isn't... did I just misunderstand this whole deal?
#snarfedkousu_xmpp: honestly setting up the oauth apps for each silo is way way less work than actually writing the code for each api. python-social-auth has done the vast majority of the work for you :P
#kousu_xmppBy the way, I am searching for ways to dump silos. I was excitedly explaining some ideas along those lines and a friend just pointed me at you. I feel kindred to your ideas.
#kousu_xmppsnarfed: that's probably true, but it's still too much for me to try to talk my friends into migrating
#GWGkousu_xmpp: It isn't dump so much as live outside the walls.
#kousu_xmppAh, yeah, that's a good way to explain it. I want to jump Facebook but I hate that doing that also makes me a pariah from most things in my social world

#KartikPrabhutantek: I would object to this wording "Also, video posts should be your video, something you recorded, or animated yourself." in the case of a response-context. If I reply to a video post I would like to have a h-cite>u-video in the reply-context
#KartikPrabhugranted I have no examples but I am thinking of vimeo.youtube response contexts
#Loqirecipe is special kind of post, that typically has a name, like articles do, a list of ingredients, and a list of instructions for making something, usually food or drink https://indiewebcamp.com/recipe

#tantekin following on the /video post and poster image discussion yesterday, I've come up with what I think is a good (hopefully easy to remember, hard to false positive) start to a plain text shorthand for a video with fallback hyperlink, optionally with poster image.

#aaronpkactually only 2 of my servers rebooted. which means more reboots tomorrow night
#tantekshaners, I'm curious about why you decided to use the poster image explicitly also as a fallback img (instead of making a separate poster vs. fallback) on videos.
[shaners] joined the channel
#[shaners]Because I don't have a separate image to use a fallback.
#[shaners]And I'm iOS only for the foreseeable future and can't easily do those tasks. :confused:
#tantekand is the value you get from having a fallback worth duplicating the image URL then?
#tantekI'm considering the same question and was curious about your reasoning.
friedcell joined the channel
#tantekI'm wondering what browsers today either 1) don't show video and thus would show the fallback image, or 2) have a user option to turn off videos, and would thus show the fallback image (presumably instead of the poster of a video which can't be played).
#aaronpkdon't forget about "browsers" such as readers
#tanteksure, though in their case, they either support e-content, or if they only do plain text the presence/absence of an image makes no difference to them.
#[shaners]Tasks: create a different image for each video (or even just one image to replace the all), upload to my asset host on S3, change access permissions on uploaded files, update all video posts.
#[shaners](Oops. Thanks for adding my subhead, T.)
#tantekshaners, then I'd definitely appreciate your analysis and feedback on tantek.com/w//Markdown
#[shaners]<@U03QR2B3P: I just have a couple slugging bugs to get fixed before I can flip the switch from bubble gum and Popsicle sticks codebase to Homesteading proper.
#Loqitantek meant to say: KartikPrabhu: my perspective is from the plain text side, Markdown's syntax fails to read as plain text, and thus fails its #1 design criteria
#bearexcept for the link syntax, markdown IMO comes closer to plain text then most of the wiki formats out there
friedcell joined the channel
#tantekbear - nah, the image embedding is so not plain text either
#aaronpki always write a preprocessor before I hand off the text to the markdown parser so that I can add back mediawiki link syntax
#tantekI've definitely had stuff set aside where when I've had guests/visitors they've been very happy to get to "borrow" stuff (without expectation of any particular return time)
friedcell joined the channel
#tantekthe thinking is that if I published that to a small set of friends, then maybe they could see things they would really like and request / receive them
#tantekI like the idea of things I bought going to a specific good home
#tantekinstead of who knows if it will end up anywhere with good will etc.
#[shaners]Tantek: if you go down the path of researching existing / past attempts at "giving stuff to friends instead of the curb/goodwill/Craigslist" apps/sites, checkout:
#aaronpkhat428: it's not just you. they changed something recently and I haven't figured out how to handle it yet.
#tantekDelicious Library is https://delicious-monster.com, an application for keeping inventory of your stuff with minor emphasis on sharing with friends. It was originally just for "media" things, then they expanded to anything things. All backed by Amazon inventory.
#aaronpkspeaking of percolation, time for more coffee
#tantekshaners, I figured you'd have some good critical thinking on this :)
#[shaners]In the meantime, I have a challenge for you to test your hypothesis. And exercise some corners and edges that you don't mention in your write up.
#tantekshaners - I am - most of what I've written up I'm doing live on my site, either in just plain text, or plain text that auto-converts to markup
#[shaners]The challenge for you is to convert the Homesteading markdown readme to <your thing>.
#[shaners]I created a templating language a few years ago to address *some* of the same issues you originally raised way back when. Mine was not aiming to be plaintext though.
#[shaners]Needless to say, my usage of it didn't last long. And I've basically abandoned it. Having gone back to full HTML + erb (similarish to PHP views).
#[shaners]Dang is <https://github.com/veganstraightedge/dang, a templating language created by {{veganstraightedge}} with the design goal of being somewhere between HAML and ERB, using angle brackets and CSS syntax.
#ben_thatmustbemetantek, i really dislike the idea of putting <video> on all source tags, it really should be able to support alternate video encodings
#ben_thatmustbemei would think it really should support it, but you are correct, until there is a documented need for it, i suppose there is no point right now
#ben_thatmustbemethough i would not admit the need for such parsing will not be of possible need in the future... especially with multiple image files

#aaronpk2014: 471 of the 590 people who logged in were new that year
#aaronpk2015: 448 of the 586 people were new that year
#aaronpk2013: 196 out of 251 people were new that year
#tantekinteresting that 2014->2015 was flat in terms of unique logins
#tantek(though we have half a month to go I don't expect a big change)
#aaronpk2012: 115 of the 115 people were new that year ;-)
#tantekthese sound like they could make an interesting chart
#aaronpkalso interesting in that of the 471 new people last year, most of them did not log in again this year since there were 448 new people this year
