ben_thatmustbemesknebel, huh? no, i don't want access to my github, i'm creating a micropub client, but it can't fetch the homepage and thus endpoints.
mblaneyso the only way to use less resources is to send the relevant links in the headers, so the people who lose out are those who can't send headers.
mblaneyI understand that a HEAD is better if that's all that is required, but we have a protocol that allows the links to be found in the content, and that part of the protocol is obviously used by many implementations.
bearHEAD is better for one specific reason - it doesn't pull the whole body content and if you are only *verifying* that the site is proper then HEAD is faster
mblaneyso GWG, in the case of your amplification attack, if you are forced to verify against a url where the links are in the body, you send two networks request for every attackers one!
mblaneybear I appreciate your knowledge on the subject, I'm really just trying to understand the logic and readily admit that I don't know what's best here.
bearall I wanted to do was point out that for the use case of static sites and for the use case where building a dynamic page can be resource intensive, doing a HEAD request can completely remove the need for any further processing for a few cases
bearfirst step is to verify that a received webmention is a valid source, so the way I learned HTTP was that to verify a url as valid you do a HEAD request
mblaneyplus it sounds like it won't be a matter of personal preference soon, as if you fail a test for not doing the HEAD first, then that's a strong statement about how it should work.
tantekkevinmarks, bear, there's something to that article, I do think there is a lot of bloat in web platform features overall that could be trimmed back
micajahhi. i want to cross post between fb twitter and other social media and my ghost blog, but its not original writing i want to make a links/newsletter like a firehose thing on a topic. so im not concerned about owning content is there any info on which is best first place to post ie from fb or twitter or out of my ghost blog? thanks
tantek!tell cweiske what is digikam? (gps correlator?) It looks like we don't have a page for "digikam" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10MJ
tanteke.g. "Hey Tantek, thanks for signing in! Currently mobilepub only works with sites that support micropub, and we don't seem to be able to find your micropub endpoint. Unsure what that is or want to learn how to add it to your site? Check out: https://indiewebcamp.com/micropub"
tantekkylewm maybe. a heads-up may be nice for those that don't want to bother signin-in if they can't do anything more. OTOH a "would you like to try signing in anyway?" prompt may be a nice encouragement too
sknebeljust noticed that discovery would be an issue as well, since fetching the main page again with auth to potentially get the right endpoint isn't standardized as well (?)
tantekfreshly written, in a presumed community voice, would appreciate some verification/validation that this easily resonates with folks here (and any issues if it doesn't!) https://indiewebcamp.com/wikifying#FAQ
sknebeltantek: there is documentation for many Silos/other services on the wiki, e.g. where you try to find patterns/interesting features, that might be worth a line and some explaination in the "should go on the wiki" section? (as in, what is important/useful on such pages, maybe link a good example)
tantek!tell chrisaldrich re: "my issue is usually remembering the huge list of microformats to include", would love to chat about that to better understand it some time, hopefully to help make it easier. Context: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-05-20/line/1463806033428
tanteksknebel: more re: " reason why "this week in indieweb" gets sent out on Friday and not on the weekend", Fridays tend to be slower (in terms of getting things done) so it makes sense to use that time to capture / reflect / broadcast what's been done the rest of the week.
tantekgreat fallback text for when Disqus JS embed is not loaded: "Apologies, but part of running a static blog is that the comments are served by Disqus's JavaScript slurry. If it's any consolation, you're probably not missing much. :)"
tantek!tell chrisaldrich re: "Eventually the wiki will have too much in it for the common person to browse it and be able to get value for the types of choices they'd like to make.", it can be improved, e.g. like Wikipedia.
[kylewm]I really like the idea of having a microformats cheat sheet available, and also agree that putting it on people’s nametags that they have to wear might be a turnoff to aesthetes
aaronpki just can't figure out how to make it look right. the idea is that it looks like a mostly normal business/contact card, but also shows the underlying html kind of like how you'd see a semi finished drawing still with the wireframe/sketch in it
tantekI'm wondering if shaners and I iterated like on Thursday night would cheat sheets be something we could review/approve at Leaders Summit and print just in time
tantekaaronpk: or if it makes it easier, for microformats we made fold-up booklets from normal 8x11 paper that progressively revealed the most immediately/commonly/intro useful stuff first
ben_thatmustbemesigh.... if you dont' LIST your use of indieauth, most assume indieauth. so really the only requirement is to list the micropub endpoint
aaronpkquill will *only* redirect to your designated auth endpoint, will never fall back to indieauth.com, because there is nothing it can do if it won't be able to get an access token
aaronpkweird. it said "IndieAuth failed, redirecting back to the main application" but there was an auth code in the URL and when it redirected me i am signed in
tantekwhoa I just figured out (I think) why FB sometimes shows [Going][Maybe][Can't Go] and sometimes shows [Interested][Going][Ignore] as webactions on Event invitations!
aaronpk"interested" is there to be able to let others know of your potential interest in the event, but doesn't make sense on a private event since a private event doesn't need the "boost" of promoting it to a larger network
ben_thatmustbemeKevinMarks, the SW should only be caching the items i list, the main page is one of them, but it has all the templates in it via handlebars
aaronpkand I am more likely going to need the "ignore" button for public events since it's a lot easier for me to be "invited" to those because of the way facebook encourages sharing events. If I receive an explicit invite to a private event, it's more likely that the host wants an actual yes/no response vs a silent ignore
tantekben_thatmustbeme: they were asking for your preferred email for such invitations, assuming you'd have more than since you have your own domain :P
tantekspam bots don't care if you don't *currently* support HTML, you may very well in the future, or make the mistake and forget to escape a text field even once
KevinMarksthey can still be marginalia, but the length limit went so now they can be a bit odd, and they are shown at the bottom too, and as standalone
tantekif anyone with an IndieWebCamp tshirt in person can vouch for the color quality (I guess we'll have to ask shaners about if it worked per his intent) I may want to setting something up to do microformats tshirts too (since there's been a demand for reprinting)
ben_thatmustbemenow this is getting super odd... i'm trying to hit the auth endpoint for known, (after getting a code back, trying to verify it) and i get
