ZegnatI wonder if any of the existing comment spam filtering solutions in place (e.g. through WP plugins) are self-hostable, or if spamassassin might just be the best option if you want to train a filter against comment spam
cweiskedkim does not help against webmention spam because the spammers own their domains anyway. they do not want to send spam in other's people name but get links to their site
petermolnarback on the daringfireball link, I don't get it, why now, why this late; a lot of people had been writing articles on facebook is evil years ago
ZegnatI actually thought Facebook allowed public indexing too, as you have an option in your privacy settings to allow or disallow search engines to index you.
petermolnara long time ago I saved a fb post url as bookmark; ended up sending it to it's owner a few years later, asking them 'still accurate?' - they guy came back to me immediately with "I've been looking for this post for months!!!, thank you!" - so it's not just search engines, nobody can find posts on FB, not even their authors.
Zegnatpetermolnar, I just found a post from 2013 that I needed yesterday. While Facebook doesn’t allow search through posts it does have per month archives
petermolnarZegnat I soft-quited facebook a long while ago: I'm still there, but I don't post anything and barely ever react; from my perspective, it's ephemeral. Before this I went through _everyting_ I ever posted by hand, because the facebook export is completely useless for old posts posted with 3rd party apps. I did find a few forgotten entries that way
petermolnarhowever, the most interesing part as that I finished a year, walked away for a while, went back updated the page, and got more from that year - which wasn't visible earlier
ZegnatThe export maybe, but we are talking about the website. Only fair to compare the actual Twitter website to the actual Facebook website in this case
petermolnarthe twitter export is simple; however, due to the various changes during it's history (url shortening, etc) it's not as usable as it once was

ZegnatI wrote some PHP 5.6 that used zero-width white-space characters for variable names. My teacher did not appreciate me turning that in as a school assignment. But everything worked.
ZegnatIf you hand over the password hashes in your database to a third-party, shouldn’t you let your users know? I am wondering why Jeff has censored the names of the communities whos hashes he gave to a third-party researcher for cracking: https://blog.codinghorror.com/hacker-hack-thyself/
ZegnatOr if he hasn’t told the communities at all, how would what he did be OK? That would basically mean he gave away data he is storing for a customer to a third-party.
ZegnatI don’t know what common practice here is. Would the security engineer to the testing on location so the database information does not leave Discourse? Maybe third-party is a bit strong, that’s true.
ZegnatMy biggest problem is probably that it doesn’t feel like “their own data”, like how I don’t feel whatever I store in a MySQL database at my hosting provider suddenly makes that my hosting provider’s data. Discourse is basically hosting other people’s forums for a minimum of $100/mo.
sknebelZegnat: we don't know how and what they transferred, but in general processing data through third parties is done and commonly only covered by some default language. The NDA covers it legally
petermolnaruhm... I had to interact with bash... Perl written in bash, C, written in bash, and so on, but no, please don't use bash as a structured language for larger projects
aaronpkI should make it crowdsource !mute commands, so if one person says !mute @e_aptitude the it takes two more people to say +1 and then Loqi mutes it
GWGAlso, in preparation for the Semantic Linkbacks enhancement, I want to have my Syndication Links and Simple Location support those properties in comments if set, instead of just posts
LoqiJust generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2017-06-02.html
gRegorLoveHeh, hmm. Not sure about "typical". There is an open source CMS called Known that one of the community members develops and it has a lot of social features built-in, lets you post on your own site and syndicate elsewhere (POSSE)
