blogger/blogspot stil works withour JS, you just don't use their "dynamic temapltes"
#
__number5__
I'm saying from readers' point of view, e.g. http://penningpence.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/first-impressions-google-cloud-sql-for.html this will be with js and emtpy html tags if read without js
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah, that is because they are using the "dynamic templates" nonsese
#
KartikPrabhu
it is absolutely Blogger's fault not the people who use it

tantek: good q. not yet, largely because there's so little users can do. notably, they can't post any content or interact with other users.
#
tantek
as bridgy does host the synthetic webmention, that's "posting content" of a sort
#
snarfed
eh, that's a stretch. the content is posted on a silo. bridgy just renders it transiently.

schmarty Hrm... tried testing Screech with known, uploaded a 13min test file and got "Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application."
#
[chrisaldrich]
It looks like it uploaded completely before it threw the error. I like the fact that it scrapes the metadata off of the file automatically. ?

Been working on a workflow for composing long-form posts in reStructuredText and then publishing with micropub.

That latest long-form post was written in rST, but not *quite* publishing properly with micropub. Had to do it by hand this time.

oh wait! i am mistaken. i have a box of wordpress sites that may have all the pieces. known works with php7, right? ;}

There's a couple configs that could affect that. Max post size and max upload size

i upped post_max_size to 200M in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

martymcguire[m] thanks, I saw your replies via github. I thought it might be an upload size issue which I'd run into before (and thus the reason I only tried a short <15minute clip.

I didn't expect it to be an audio specific issue. If I have time tonight, I'll try it out with my wordpress install to see if there are any issues there.

So from what I’m reading on indieweb.org/quote it seems that most “linked-list” type posts on a site like daringfireball.net like: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/03/17/clickbait-wired would be considered a “reply” rather than a “quote”?
#
tantek
that's totally a reply since the primary content is what Gruber wrote. The quote is just to provide context (like a reply context)
#
tantek
He's clearly making his own points ("First, .... Second, ...") rather than just "sharing" a quote
#
tantek
also, curious what makes you call that a "linked-list" type post? there's only one link, not a list.
#
[eddie]
Ah, well the site is a “linked list site”, where most of it’s posts are links with comments
#
[eddie]
But i just posted the one link ? rather than the whole list.
#
[eddie]
Great, glad to know I understood that right. It’s a bit of a mental shift for me, but I often think of just tweet-type note replies, rather than commentary type replies. Working on adding a similar type post to my site so I wanted to make sure I was taking the right approach ? Thanks for verifying!
#
tantek
eddie, do you mean his home page is a list AKA a stream AKA a feed?
#
tantek
and he mostly comments on other stuff instead of writing his own posts? yes that's what I remember of Gruber as well
#
tantek
replies can be interesting for sure, many examples. you can have tweet type "note" replies, you can also have longer reply "articles" with their own article name/title etc.
#
[eddie]
Yeah, exactly. Common terminology among that crowd is to call websites that primarily comment on other links for the majority of their “feed” as “Linked Lists”, because they are primarily a “List” or “Feed” of “Links” or in our world “Replies”.
#
[eddie]
Interesting, Yeah, I think re-orienting my mind to the way replies work will take a little bit, but seems cool ?
#
tantek
it's basically a breaking of the assumption that replies must happen on the same site as the original
#
[eddie]
Exactly
