I do need to add polling to it since i'm still missing web hooks for some people for no reason

tantek: do you normally have something new to show every HWC?
#
tantek
I try! Ever since we switched to a "show demos of what you have gotten working recently" format
#
tantek
I try to demo something new, however small or trivial
#
aaronpk
do those get written down?
#
tantek
aaronpk: by kevinmarks when he's live tweeting
#
tantek
and then in his report subsequently
#
aaronpk
ah cool
#
tantek
should be in the IRC logs for each
#
tantek
snarfed: I"m reviewing my https://www.instagram.com/accounts/manage_access/ now and seeing a few apps that have lots of privileges!
#
tantek
Iconosquare has the ability to like photos, comment on photos, follow/unfollow other users
#
aaronpk
I was looking at my twitter security page the other day and it shows a log of the last several days worth of logins, and about 90% of them were bridgy :)
#
tantek
interesting, Instarchive claims to "Download your Instagram photos as a zip file"
#
tantek
Websta also have permission to like photos, comment on photos, follow/unfollow other users
#
tantek
as does Inkstagram
#
aaronpk
that's all going to change in june
#
aaronpk
instagram hasn't actually revoked any permissions yet
hmans joined the channel
#
aaronpk
nor locked down the api
#
[kevinmarks]
But they have rejected submissions?
#
aaronpk
yes, submissions to get access to the new API and new permissions
#
[kevinmarks]
We should write those up
#
[kevinmarks]
I probably need to kill pestagram.com
#
snarfed
[kevinmarks]: we have written them up; mentioned earlier. :P https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/603
#
aaronpk
yes I don't think pestagram will pass the review process ;)
#
tantek
snarfed, maybe add link to that from https://indiewebcamp.com/Instagram#API
#
aaronpk
first, anything with "insta" or "gram" in the name will be rejected
#
aaronpk
and then anything that is trying to replicate the experience of instagram will be rejected

"The requested permissions must provide a non-automated, authentic, high-quality experience to your user and the larger Instagram community"
#
aaronpk
what does non-automated mean?
#
tantek
sounds like non-spammy
#
aaronpk
ah yeah
#
Schnitz
btw site44 works so exactly like pancake.io that is seems that the former pancake.io reopened it as a commercial service http://raketenbasis.site44.com/
#
Schnitz
even nicer here, it the HTML is completely untouched: view-source:http://raketenbasis.site44.com/
#
aaronpk
http://www.site44.com/ doesn't even load for me
#
Schnitz
why's that?
#
Schnitz
aaronpk what UA are you using?
#
aaronpk
dunno, i was just staring at a white screen and "waiting for www.site44.com" for a minute. Chrome osx
#
aaronpk
tried again an it works now
#
aaronpk
what do you think "To help individuals share their own content with 3rd party apps" means?
#
snarfed
evidently not bridgy
#
aaronpk
how can an app help someone share their content with an app?
#
snarfed
their examples are 1) printing and 2) using a photo as a profile picture
#
snarfed
aaronpk, silver lining, if i do scrape, granary's REST API will expose that, so you could port ownyourgram to that
#
snarfed

KartikPrabhu: tantek left you a message 4 hours, 33 minutes ago: some examples of multiple photos being tiled in Instagram's notifications UI, might be useful: https://indiewebcamp.com/notifications#Instagram http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-02-10/line/1455138743156
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
tantek
oh hello
#
tantek
hey I did get something implemented in the past two weeks!
#
tantek
automatic Bridgy Publish to POSSE to Flickr!
#
tantek
doesn't really demo anything new
#
KartikPrabhu
aren't all photos on instagram square?
#
tantek
hah no
#
tantek
they added non-square support a while ago
#
aaronpk
not anymore! yay!
#
Loqi
giggles
#
tantek
oh wait yes I can show one minor new thing - automatic syndication links to Flickr copies
#
KartikPrabhu
so yeah they are padding their non-square photos with white-space
#
tantek
looks for his first automatic Bridgy POSSE to Flickr
#
aaronpk
they show up at whatever size the photo is posted in the timeline now
#
tantek
aaronpk: note that there is a 4:3 ratio limitation for portrait!
#
tantek
(I discovered this through experimentation)
#
KartikPrabhu
Phyks: good question about indieweb and scientific publication
#
tantek
checks logs
#
KartikPrabhu
Phyks: the first hurdle is to have scientific papers in HTML... a huge task
LaraFZ joined the channel
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: I was going to say
#
tantek
however, there is likely still value in hosting academic PDFs on your own domain
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yeah I tried to do it with my papers but Latex to HTML conversion is very very non-trivial
#
tantek
so perhaps we can separate those two?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yes good point
#
tantek
permalink / domain vs content?
#
aaronpk
I feel like the updates shared during HWC should be included in the weekly newsletters that go out
#
KartikPrabhu
but it might conflict with the license you give to journals
#
tantek
aar yeah!
#
tantek
aaronpk: yeah!
#
tantek
KevinMarks writes up his notes every time
#
tantek
but we could be better about linking to those from the HWC event page itsef
#
tantek
s/itsef/itself
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: but we could be better about linking to those from the HWC event page itself
#
aaronpk
that would be a good start
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed
tantek: feel free to show off video posse too
#
tantek
snarfed that reminds me I haven't posted a video in a while!
#
tantek
certainly not since I started automatic Flickr POSSEing
#
KartikPrabhu
what is instagram
#
Loqi
Instagram is a popular image hosting silo most well known for square photos that have been processed with an image filter https://indiewebcamp.com/Instagram
#
KartikPrabhu
is there an actual URL where I can see instagram's display of photos side by side?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: did you see the screenshot that I linked you?
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah I want to inspect the site
#
tantek
instagram.com/tantek
#
KartikPrabhu
ok so instagram also crops photos to a square to display in a grid
#
tantek
I do post non-square photos
#
aaronpk
question: when I make a new post about upcoming travel, such as https://aaronparecki.com/2016/04/11/1/ what date would you expect to see in the permalink?
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah I found one and hence the conclusion
#
tantek
both portrait and landscape are cropped
#
tantek
looks like a simple centered crop
#
aaronpk
i've always shown the date that the travel starts, due to historical implementation details. I now have the ability to show the date I posted the plan
#
tantek
aaronpk: I'll answer a different question. I expect to see the date that an event starts for an event post permalink
#
tantek
rather, an event permalinks
#
tantek
s/permalinks/permalink
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: rather, an event permalink
#
aaronpk
I suppose I can do the same as I did for events. I avoided the issue by showing "permalink" instead of the date, so that the only date visible is the date of the event
martinBrown_ joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk: the design I have in mind to work around this issue is basically to copy the activity on an event that FB shows
#
tantek
where it shows what looks like a comment about "so and so created the event" and that thing has a permalink with the date that the event was created
#
tantek
nice map btw
#
tantek
I'm very confused by the "Other Mentions" though
#
tantek
why am I in there twice as an Other Mention, and not at all as an RSVP?
#
aaronpk
well it was a tweet, and there isn't any bridgy mapping of tweets to RSVPs
#
tantek
and the event says "1 RSVP" but I can't see it
#
tantek
or who
#
tantek
why is the tweet there twice?
#
tantek
and zero RSVP from my site?
#
tantek
weird
#
aaronpk
they both have the same u-url property though
#
aaronpk
this was my question the other day
#
tantek
so can you de-dupe?
#
aaronpk
yes but then there's a security hole, where anyone could hijack a comment
M-kegan1 joined the channel
#
aaronpk
we decided that restricting the de-duping to the same domain would be safe, but then that doesn't actually solve the bridgy issue
raucao_ joined the channel
#
tantek
I don't think you can hijack something by duping it
#
aaronpk
cause anyone can make a URL that has a u-url of your comment URL, which would then make it look like an update
#
tantek
I didn't say update, I just said de-dupe
#
tantek
in this case they look the same
#
aaronpk
but then how do I handle updates?
#
tantek
so there's no reason to show both
#
tantek
tweets don't get updated, never a problem :D
#
aaronpk
so not hardcoding that
#
tantek
why not?
#
aaronpk
the less bridgy-specific code in my site the better
#
aaronpk
also that still doesn't solve the problem
#
tantek
not bridgy-specific, twitter-specific
#
aaronpk
okay so I could restrict updating comments where the only way to actually update it would be to use the same source URL
#
aaronpk
(I bet 692536929720635392 is a like of your tweet)
#
aaronpk
okay if updates are limited to using the same source URL, then hijacking a comment is not possible
#
aaronpk
which then means it's safe to de-dupe based on what I am displaying, which has nothing to do with the source URL
#
aaronpk
(also figured out why your actual RSVP isn't showing up... I apparently totally forgot to display RSVPs, and am only showing the count of them!)
#
tantek
aaronpk: maybe 692536929720635392 is a retweet!
#
tantek
and once again, I'm good at breaking things

I'm not going to restore next/prev links until I figure out how to properly scope them
#
aaronpk
for example, if you're viewing a tag, I want the "next" link to go to the next photo that matches that tag
#
Loqi
gives aaronpk the "next" link to go to the next photo that matches that tag

use the words "older/newer" and it isn't amiguous where you're going

I think the issue there was sets are arbitrarily ordered, but id order mine chronologically oldest to newest. So sets went in the opposite direction from the photo stream

#
Jeena
what is webring
#
Loqi
A webring is a collection of websites linked together in a circular structure https://indiewebcamp.com/webring
#
petermolnar
lol haven't seen that word in a decade
#
Jeena
I still don't know what it means
#
Jeena
ah the wikipedia explains it better
#
cweiske
that was the time before search engines
#
Jeena
I see, so before my time, I bought my first PC end of 2002
#
petermolnar
Jeena in short: it was like an ad banner but the banners were for personal sites
#
petermolnar
kind of a random-discovery thing
#
cweiske
webrings were often theme-specific
#
Jeena
I see
#
cweiske
e.g. a ring for all people who like discworld
#
cweiske
so you could click to the homepage of the next one who likes discworld
#
Jeena
was it different to a blogroll?
#
cweiske
it was centrally managed
#
petermolnar
it was not hand managed by you
#
cweiske
and you only included the "widget"
#
cweiske
on your site
#
Jeena
oh I see
#
cweiske
ha. the word widget wasn't even invented at that time
#
Jeena
so you would run some javascript from a different provider and this provider would then create a link and a image on your site which would point so some other website in this webring?
#
KartikPrabhu
the "you didn't manage" part is bad
#
cweiske
but javascript wasn't en vouge at that time
#
cweiske
or rather it was the time of the browser wars
#
Jeena
ok, so how would you do it without javascript?
#
cweiske
with netscape and internet explorer implementing different javascript APIs
#
cweiske
so you had to to have two code paths, one for each browser
#
cweiske
frameset or iframe
#
cweiske
easier
#
cweiske
you only linked to an image and to a hard-coded URL
#
cweiske
and that redirected you dynamically
#
cweiske
KartikPrabhu: central management by the ring owner was a feature, not a bug
#
sknebel
some had buttons for next/prev/list/random, but I don't know if they gave you an iframe or
#
cweiske
so you had a central point to register yourself
#
sknebel
had you copy the entire HTML
#
cweiske
sknebel, yes, that's what I mean by linking to an image and a hard-coded url
#
sknebel
(it was the time of "copy this snippet in your page and magic happens"
#
cweiske
just as it is now with the terminal
#
KartikPrabhu
cweiske: "was" you mean "was considered"
#
sknebel
(I recently found this page full of strange-ish javascript snippets again: http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/scripts/index.html )
#
petermolnar
we could revive this, based on irc-people :D
#
petermolnar
the only thing more retro I could think of is nntp, but that is not the web
#
KartikPrabhu
ohboy! no way I'm having this on my site unless I approve it
#
cweiske
i'm actually still using nnt

This may be an IRC newbie question, but when someone leaves you a message with "!tell", is there a way to be shown that message without posting publicly? (I've had at least one of these messages waiting for me in the recent past, but it only showed once I'd posted something publicly).
#
bear
not an IRC newb question at all - the !tell messages are via the bot Loqi

Loqi

a long time ago it used to send the message when you joined the channel, but that triggered a lot of false positives

aaronpk
Loqi sometimes responds to DMs, but the !tells are all channel-scoped so that wouldn't work

if I private msg loqi will it respond with messages over dm's

who, me?

snarfed
maybe not worth thinking too hard about
#
aaronpk
our wiki has it
#
aaronpk
type "indiewebcamp.com: " into your address bar and you'll see
#
aaronpk
still works on latest chrome
#

I have lots of sites in my browser that use it.

yeah it's in mediawiki by default
#
snarfed
ah sure, the browser integration part definitely
#
snarfed
iirc that was a small part of the spec/vision, but useful, agreed
#
cweiske.de
uploaded /File:opensearch_chromium_input.png "After writing cweiske.de, I pressed tab in chromium"
#
cweiske.de
uploaded /File:opensearch_chromium_results.png "I pressed "Return" after typing my search word, and am shown the result page."

cleverdevil
anyone having trouble with bridgy lately?
#
cleverdevil
particularly with the latest version of Known?
#
snarfed
cleverdevil: what's going wrong?
#
cleverdevil
just getting errors sending info over
#
snarfed
...publish? backfeed? which user?
#
cleverdevil
I have a post syndicated from Known to Facebook, and details aren't being backfed... user is https://brid.gy/facebook/10101418101899349
#
Schnitz
I can check whether its working with me, wait a sec

snarfed: speaking of bridgy I've had trouble with bridgy_omit_link not working recently.
#
snarfed
mblaney: do tell...?
#
mblaney
well it's as it sounds, I add ?bridgy_omit_link=true to my request and I still get a link in the tweet.
#
mblaney
want a log reference?
#
Schnitz
fb wanted me to identify cats or waterfalls for security since it found out that I'm linking to a page fb crawled by itself that links to a dropbox... right... security leak... how many cats do you see? This is so cynical https://twitter.com/belp_audio/status/697901544931356673
#
Schnitz
BTW, that was 10 mins ago. Now pancake.io is offline again.. LOL
#
cleverdevil
snarfed, a way to manually fix things in bridgy when Facebook bones things up would be a good start.
#
Schnitz
no worries, I'm checking it out, no hard feelings
#
snarfed
mblaney: yes please!
#
snarfed
cleverdevil: agreed. i'll reopen that issue
#
snarfed
cleverdevil: you can use https://brid.gy/about#source-urls to send the missing wms manually, but that's kinda labor intensive
#
aaronpk
a little less labor intensive using telegraph!
#
aaronpk
but yes
#
cleverdevil
what's telegraph?
#
KevinMarks
tries telegraph from last nights hwc sf notes
#
aaronpk
holds his breath
#
aaronpk
you should be able to click the icon and see the error
#
KevinMarks
apparently that's known rejecting homepage mentions
#
snarfed
hey kylewm do you know if known FB posse currently uses See Original?
#
aaronpk
you know I haven't had a single pingback work yet... not sure why though
#
snarfed
if so you/they should consider switching away from that, since that's the root cause of https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/368
#
snarfed
mblaney: thanks, will look

interesting, google's mobile html proxy got a new domain
#
KevinMarks
though it still dumps SVG
#
tantek
KevinMarks - did kragen ever provide a citation/URL that describes "The problems we're trying to solve aren't even on your radar yet" ?
#
KevinMarks
he's on about not depending on DNS
#
aaronpk
what is DNS?
#
Loqi
DNS is an abbreviation for Domain Name Server and often used to refer to the configuring thereof http://indiewebcamp.com/DNS
#
aaronpk
we've documented this right?
#
aaronpk
yes. maybe we should bump this sentence higher in the page: "For the purposes of IndieWebCamp and developing practical short-term federation, as well as peer to peer user experiences and protocols, we are not attempting to replace DNS, but rather build upon it with the hopes and expectations that the UXes we develop, and likely the protocols will advance federated systems development in general."
#
tantek
who was it that said the Google is indexing PuSH notifications better again? it has yet to index mine from a few hours ago, still only one result (not mine) for: https://www.google.com/search?q="negative+news+can+ruin+your+day"
#
aaronpk
and you're sure you pinged the PuSH hub?
#
aaronpk
that was a wirres.net who posted about it
#
tantek
*the* ?!?
#
aaronpk
their*
#
tantek
I gave up on theirs when their search seemed to start ignoring it, and switched to superfeedr
#
aaronpk
hm wirres.net is using switchboard.p3k.io so i guess pinging theirs isn't a requirement
#
aaronpk
although in his post he says he pings google's hub
#
tantek
Thanks KevinMarks, you're helping prove the point
#
tantek
by linkslapping with our previous public work, while @kragen merely pontificates on Twitter
#
KevinMarks
in order to do that he needs to sign in to the wiki, which would involve making his webpage support indieauth
#
tantek
Not a single link from him to "more reading" or a citation to back anything up etc. in that entire thread. Lack of citation = armchair architect IMO which is a similar anti-pattern to architecture astronomy.
#
tantek
KevinMarks: and yes, the challenge to him to add to the wiki is a good one
#
kylewm
snarfed: cleverdevil: Known does currently use "See Original", but Ben and I were just discussing yesterday that it needs to be removed asap
#
Loqi
giggles
#
kylewm
and then honestly, we can close that Bridgy issue
#
cleverdevil
kylewm: makes sense to me... better off just putting the link in elsewhere
#
aaronpk
that was a fun hack while it lasted
#
kylewm
apparently there are other issues, people were reporting that Facebook wouldn't approve them for app permissions because of the link
#
Loqi
[bridgy] kragen replied '@kevinmarks I can see we're failing to communicate, because that's not what I'm ...' to a tweet that linked to http://indiewebcamp.com/federation#DNS_Exception (https://twitter.com/kragen/status/697926192016531456)
#
snarfed
bridgy should probably also deprioritize its See Original usage
#
kylewm
one issue is I think sites need to publish u-syndication links with the URL style facebook.com/myusername/posts/12345
#
kylewm
instead of userid/posts/postid
#
kylewm
in order for posse-post-discovery to work
#
aaronpk
is that what silo.pub returns?
#
aaronpk
cause that's what i'm publishing as my u-syndication now
#
kylewm
but you have to manually tell silopub what your username is
#
aaronpk
that was a prompt during setup right?
#
kylewm
or of course, you can just put the link tothe original in the body of the facebook post -- but I don't like how that looks
#
aaronpk
i think i remember seeing a prompt with an explanation of why
#
kylewm
aaronpk: yes, i think so
#
snarfed
you can post a "link" object to avoid duplicating the url in the post body
#
KevinMarks
wait, appengine supports node now?
#
snarfed
...which afaik is the same thing that happens in the UI when you add a link, get the preview, then remove the link from the text but keep the preview
#
aaronpk
oh yeah i've done that. but sometimes I also don't want that duplicated on facebook
#
aaronpk
especially for short things
#
kylewm
especially when your profile picture is the largest/only image on your page and it uses it for the preview
#
aaronpk
yes haha
#
snarfed
looks at github

snarfed: is there any reason Bridgy can't do inferred user ID like it does inferred username?
#
snarfed
kylewm: because app scoped user ids?
AngeloGladding joined the channel
#
snarfed
you mean, be promiscuous and infer many ids per user?
#
kylewm
that's what i mean, can you infer that my kylewm.com-app-scoped-user-id maps to my bridgy-app-scoped-id
#
kylewm
yeah i guess so

sure, i guess we could
