Is Jeremy coming, I wonder?
#
Loqi
GWG: petermolnar left you a message 14 hours, 20 minutes ago: both me az Zegnat have good experience with Backtitude; that can send http updates and log locally - I use this latter and sync it daily with syncthing

evening GWG
#
tantek
yes I got in touch with Jeremy, and he's going to try to make it for at least part of one day. I encouraged him to come Sunday :)
#
GWG
We're up to 4 then?

good q
#

need to check the tickets site!

#

GWG, likely more. My pal Hannah said she wants to come too as she has a bunch of updating to do on her personal site
#
GWG
tantek: I look forward to Sunday. I am behind on so many things coming into the season.
#
tantek
GWG, same same!
#
tantek
hopefully no blizzard this time :)

tantek: Anything you hoping to get done?

@ruxton
@lordmortis if you interested, there might be a way to proxy event invites to-from Facebook using indieweb event stuff

GWG, I think I would like get more responses showing up on my posts, which means I have to figure out a lot of blocking and deleting
#
GWG
Vouch?
#
tantek
as well as how to template comments from webmention.io into something displayable with the markup and styling I want
#
tantek
GWG, Vouch is harder for me because I have all the initial webmention handling done by webmention.io
#
tantek
so I want to see how far I can go with that
#
tantek
instead of buliding my own webmention handler, for now
#
tantek
but to #indieweb-dev ...
#
tantek
This is an itch for me too - I would like to figure out a good flow for indieweb invitations that do not require FB, and a way to still get invitations to FB events: https://twitter.com/lordmortis/status/909004886615801860
#
@lordmortis
This has been going on ever since I left Facebook. It’s pretty fucking shitty to do this to people because they are “hard” to invite.

#
Ruxton
that dude left FB about 1.5 years ago
#
Ruxton
and he said at the time he worried his social interactions would take a hit
#
Ruxton
and they have
#
tantek
events are one of my personal primary use-cases of FB :/
#
Ruxton
if I could see a world where proxying events in and out worked well, I'd probably leave
#
tantek
I would like to develop the tech to break this dependence for myself, and hopefully others
#
tantek
Ruxton, it's why I've prioritized getting indie events working on my site
#
tantek
I've stopped creating FB-only events
#
tantek
but of course that takes more work. still, at least "doable but more work" is better than "not doable"
#
Ruxton
bit harder to POSSE an event from a static site too
#
tantek
Ruxton: for FB it makes no difference since you have to do it all manually
#
tantek
there's no FB API for creating events :(
#
tantek
Ruxton - I wonder if it would help to POSSE an event and invitations to Twitter, with some made up format for Twitter (since Twitter doesn't have a native event post)
#
tantek
presumably that would help a few more folks (those with Twitter but not FB)
#
Ruxton
oh boooo
#
Ruxton
v1 used to let you, but it looks like v2 dropped it
#
tantek
yeah :(

Why did superfeeder strip my hashtag?

Hm, looks like ownyourgram.com stripped it

The inline hashtag became a category at the bottom
#
jeremycherfas
Known strips hashtags and lots else mercilessly
#
[kevinmarks]
Ah, so known bug.
snarfed joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
Or, possibly, feature?
#
jeremycherfas
I don't know enough about it, but something about injecting bad things.
#
jeremycherfas
I made it go away by changing a strip_tags somewhere, but then it came back for reasons I don't fully understand, so I have learned to live with it.
#
[kevinmarks]
Trailing hashtags, fair enough, but inline ones are part of the sentence
#
Zegnat
If it is a strip_tags thing they may just not be allowing A elements coming in the way OYG is posting to Known? Though that feels very wrong.

[voxpelli] I myself simply ignore HTML as there's other attack vectors in there as well – like an absolute positioned Iframe that takes over your entire site with a phishing one

@sl007
@m_ott @stefanjudis If you'd use it would you "bridge" webmentions? Btw: Working out sponsored indieweb hackathon http://bit.ly/2xb9qit prior FOSDEM Brussels.

has anyone ever done webapps optimised for e-ink devices?
#
petermolnar
the -chat talk got me interested, and it seems very much possible and reasonable to have an old kindle touch serve as an mqtt dashboard
#
GWG
petermolnar: What would you want to display on it?
#
petermolnar
I'm only in the information gathering phase, probably a few toggles and switches, sensor readings, etc; text basically
#
petermolnar
I'm just curious what the capabilities of the built-in browser are

I will obviously not run a react monster on it :D

yeah...

Loqi, tell tantek I've just been too overloaded to think about it so probably not alas.

@manton2 I’m doing an IndieWeb talk on Friday… I’m curious what generation you see http://micro.blog as? http://indieweb.org/generations

KartikPrabhu, Pierre-O and [keithjgrant] joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant]
...or if anybody else here can answer that...
#
KartikPrabhu
[keithjgrant]: curious about what you are planning to say about the "my grandmother" slide
#
aaronpk
Awesome! Will the talk be recorded?
#
[keithjgrant]
They usually record, though last year's talks never made it online :(
#
aaronpk
Yeah that's tough. Where is it? Maybe I can come record ;-)
Pierre-O joined the channel
#
aaronpk
a bit far
#
aaronpk
but for reals, id recommend recording at least the audio yourself
#
[keithjgrant]
Not a bad idea
#
aaronpk
even if it's just your phone in your shirt pocket or something
#
[keithjgrant]
The "grandmother" slide is basically to head-off the "this isn't ready for prime time" sort of comments. Intro into the concept of generations
tantek joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
[keithjgrant]: I see
#
[keithjgrant]
It's a tech conf. So most folks there will be programmers.
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe the wiki page on different projects should have a "generation" indicator?
#
KartikPrabhu
what is project?
#
Loqi
Here are some projects you can use to get your site on the IndieWeb, improve your IndieWeb support, or take a look at to get inspiration for your own project! https://indieweb.org/project
loicm and Pierre-O joined the channel
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: the /projects page still needs a lot of fundamental clean-up, nevermind trying to tag individual projects as being of a certain generation etc

Loqi
tantek: Salt left you a message 2 hours, 54 minutes ago: I've just been too overloaded to think about it so probably not alas.

now I'm curious of the context
