# [markmhendrickso - Personal API that serves up personal data from flat files in JSON API format (used to power the above website but designed for whatever other RESTful use case): https://github.com/neotoma/personal-server (it powers my personal API e.g. my posts: http://api.markmhendrickson.com/posts)
# [markmhendrickso i'm not sure if any ya'll are Ember (emberjs.com) or JSON API (jsonapi.org) fans, but I've started two interworking projects that use them that might be interesting to folks here:
# [markmhendrickso I haven't made a lot of changes to them recently but I will gradually over time, especially as Neotoma (https://github.com/neotoma/sync-server) gets up to speed populating those flat files with my data from accounts all over the web. Please feel free to use and extend as useful to you! If you use your own flat files, even hand-compiled, they'll both be completely customized to you and your data.

# ktoverso Hello, #indieweb. Does anyone use a 'decoupled' cms approach with indieweb?
# [markmhendrickso @ktoverso hi! what do you mean exactly by "decoupled"?
# ktoverso where publishing part is decoupled (could be on another server or even offline) from 'content serving'
# [markmhendrickso ?
# ktoverso I somewhat wary about facing publishing parts to the internetz
# ktoverso (like in wordpress days)
# ktoverso I'm thinking how to architech my ideal CMS (without that one fatal flaw all the other cms have, namely, not written by me :) )
# ktoverso architect*
# ktoverso Well, static-only server is nice, but how to handle webmentions in this case.
# [markmhendrickso @ktoverso you're worried about hacking or other security issues with having publishing capabilities available via the web?
# ktoverso So currently I think about three parts: static (content), dynamic (webmentions), and separate dynamic to handle original content
# Loqi A static site is a website that is served by a web server directly from the file system https://indieweb.org/static-site
# ktoverso Hmm, I didn't think about 3rd party services for webmentions, thanks!

# Anchakor why did indieweb center around new concepts like POSSE, PESOS and backfeed instead of the concept of synchronization?
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# Anchakor synchronization in master-slave relationship is not something unusual
# Anchakor relationship of PESOS and backfeed is unclear to me
# Anchakor but necessary for synchronization
# Anchakor without backfeed you can't have an abstraction over silos as a full social network with your data being your on your private master server
KevinMarks joined the channel
# Anchakor snarfed: I suspect you are unfortunately right, though scraping (through browser extension or automated web browser drivers) can fill the gaps
# ben_thatmustbeme Also, many times POSSE and PESOS are not fully sync, as some often append (originally posted at ...) for example
# ben_thatmustbeme specifically saying, this isn't this authoritative source
# Anchakor that's fine
# Anchakor though I expect there might be issues with post-publish editing of posts/comments
# ben_thatmustbeme that certainly could be, again, really depends on the API and might have to do it manually, etc
wolftune and sebsel joined the channel
# Anchakor but yeah, thanks I'm convinced the concepts are useful and practical, though my instinct is to think in concepts closer to what I percieve the ideal solution to be. indieweb is an iterative development after all, not a moonshot
snarfed, eli_oat, tantek and j12t joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme Anchakor++ great question to ask though

# [markmhendrickso gooood morning tantek ?
# [markmhendrickso anyone have background links for POSSE, PESOS, and backfeed handy?
# Loqi POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to 3rd party services with permashortlinks back to the original on your site https://indieweb.org/POSSE
# Loqi PESOS is an acronym/abbreviation for Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site https://indieweb.org/pesos
# Loqi Backfeed is the process of syndicating interactions on your POSSE copies back (AKA reverse syndicating) to your original posts https://indieweb.org/backfeed
# [markmhendrickso i get links about gangs and money conversion when i google ?
# [markmhendrickso thanks! good ol loqi
snarfed1 and j12t joined the channel
# [markmhendrickso the wiki seems to express a clear preference for POSSE over PESOS ?
# [markmhendrickso ideally i'm also pro-PESOS over POSSE but perhaps a disadvantages section should be added for POSSE with something along the lines of "probably requires technical knowledge and significant free time to set up and maintain"
# [markmhendrickso whoops, meant to say "pro-POSSE over PESOS" #facepalm
# [markmhendrickso fwiw both are hard and probably require technical knowledge at this point, to be fair
# [markmhendrickso tantek agreed, i guess i was just noting that the wiki seems to tilt its hand towards the idealistic / POSSE solution a tad ?
# [markmhendrickso my project neotoma is very PESOS so there's my bias i suppose
# [markmhendrickso i dislike the dependency as well. I'd prefer to use an independent check-in client that syndicated to Swarm, etc too. But the UI and sharing model advantages are strong and tilt me in favor of near term PESOSing my relationship with them
# [markmhendrickso has anyone in this group tried to make an iOS client for check-ins to POSSE them, for example?
# [markmhendrickso @sknebel i'd say swarm is a good example. in my experience, the iOS client is really good and i haven't seen a good alternative that POSSE's to it to switch from PESOS, although perhaps it exists

# sketchess greetings
snarfed joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme hi sketchess
# sketchess a friendly hello back :)
# sketchess what is the time zone of the irc channel?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "time zone of the irc channel" yet. Would you like to create it?
# ben_thatmustbeme what is UGT
# Loqi Universal Greeting Time is the convention of greeting people in online chat with "good morning" regardless of the local time of day of either person https://indieweb.org/UGT
# sketchess well I have to rephrase than
# ben_thatmustbeme the time zone of the irc channel is /UGT
# sketchess I try to find out when the busy times are ;)
# ben_thatmustbeme there are people spread about in the EU, and then many of us in US Eastern or US Pacific, So it covers a wide range
# Zegnat The image at the bottom of this page theoretically shows peak times: http://www.kevinmarks.com/joyofsparks.html
# ben_thatmustbeme we have some australians frequent here?
# ben_thatmustbeme checks /irc-people
# sketchess thank you
# ben_thatmustbeme sketchess: http://indieweb.org/irc-people
# ben_thatmustbeme has most everyone's tz
# sketchess quite alot
# ben_thatmustbeme have you worked out logging in to the wiki yet sketchess? adding yourself there is a first-thing to add to the wiki
# sketchess I am still trying to understand how rel=me (rel=author) works. Had a look into zegnats source code and did first researches.
# sketchess as far as I can see....
# sketchess I will get a problem, if I understand my case correctly.
sebsel joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme basic idea: if you have a URL that links to a twitter profile with rel=me (essentially that claims that the link listed is also "You") and then that twitter profile links back to your site (twitter has rel=me on their profile page) then you can assume that whoever owns that twitter profile, also owns the URL.
# ben_thatmustbeme thats rel-me-auth
# sketchess I did find a propper rel=me yet.
# sketchess I do not have twitter.
# sketchess no facebook
# ben_thatmustbeme github?
# sketchess no instergram
# sketchess no github
# sketchess no social media account
# ben_thatmustbeme ahh
# sketchess no google too
# ben_thatmustbeme whats your url?
# sketchess you mean my domain?
# ben_thatmustbeme yeah

# sketchess do not expect much online, 99% are still stored in my notepad project file.... but well picmodi.de
tantek and rpcope- joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme thats okay, some just have a single page of just html
# ben_thatmustbeme its not so much about the content, as the URL as an identifier
# ben_thatmustbeme if you don't want to use an external service for auth, using pgp will work just fine
# ben_thatmustbeme the other option is to write your own authorization_endpoint
rpcope joined the channel
# sketchess and now you lost me...

# ben_thatmustbeme Zegnat: that should probably be documented on indieauth.com as well

afrogeek[m] and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
# [kevinmarks] I should rerun the visualisation
initrd joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme sketchess: the basic concept is that the wiki uses indieauth.com (though you could write your own) which looks at your user page for rel=me links. it uses those to verify that you own that domain. so for twitter, it looks for rel=me to a twitter profile and that twitter profile links to your domain (with rel=me), and then verifies you own that twitter account via twitter API. For email, it knows that you claim you own
# ben_thatmustbeme the email address by the rel=me link, then it sends you an email with (i am assuming) a link, or some way to verify you own that email address
# ben_thatmustbeme i'm wondering if that might be the case
# sknebel the entire indieauth cluster of pages has gotten better, but still is quite confusing, even if you know what's going on. for setup for the wiki there is https://indieweb.org/How_to_set_up_web_sign-in_on_your_own_domain , not sure how prominently it is linked
rpcope joined the channel
# sketchess I understand the basic concept somehow. But I don't have an idea yet, how I could get it work for me.
# sketchess it's like a ping pong effect, right?
# sketchess :D
# sketchess picmodi ..... still nothing much yet uploaded
# sketchess .de
# sketchess sorry
# sketchess it' like chewing steel for me
# ben_thatmustbeme sketchess: if you have a public email addres, try adding <a href="mailto:....de" rel="me">email</a> to your site
# ben_thatmustbeme thats all you would need to be able to login
# sketchess give me a second.....
# sketchess do you have a list of possible rel=me 's?
# sketchess a overview
# ben_thatmustbeme rel=me can be added to any link, but for ones that indieauth.com supports?
# sketchess I am not a friend of 'mail to'.
# sketchess well that is a thing I have non knowledge about
KevinMarks joined the channel
# ben_thatmustbeme https://indieauth.com/setup this has an example of the rel=me options it supports
# ben_thatmustbeme rel=pgpkey is also possible
# ben_thatmustbeme if none of those work for you, the only options left may be a bit more complex
# sketchess do you mean the list of ..... what you call it 'silos'?
KevinMarks joined the channel
# sketchess like facebook and co
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: yes you can use your "silo" accounts in your rel-me to use indieauth
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: so far I have found github to be most reliable
# sketchess I have non of such.
# sketchess not a single one
# sketchess name it and I don't have it
# sketchess pity
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: i suppose then you'd have to setup your own indieauth endpoint which does authorisation and all that
# sketchess pity -> list
# sketchess aha
# KartikPrabhu Zegnat: both sound pretty complicated to me :)
# sketchess was that a rhethorical question zegnat? xD
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: to be honest, I feel posting your content on your site is more important
# sketchess me too
# sketchess lol
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: so I would suggest starting with that while thinking about web-sign-in on th ebackbyrner
# KartikPrabhu err backburner
# sketchess I think, I might be the one exeption of the norm than. ;) I just not fit.
# sketchess Well that's my story of my life.
# KartikPrabhu sketchess: that is ok. indieauth was designed to get people to use their website as sign in with as little work as possible; which in most cases is to use a "silo" login or email. in exceptional cases like yours there is GPG, and setting your own endpoint which are more complicated
# sketchess But I appreciate all your help so far. :)
# KartikPrabhu :thumbsup:
# sketchess looks interesting....
snarfed joined the channel
# sketchess will be a learning curve too, I guess
