#Loqireacji is an emoji reaction, the use of a single emoji character in response to a post, introduced as a feature by Slack[1] https://indieweb.org/reactji
#jackygRegorLove: thank you! I super appreciate that! b/c I pull my hair out trying to make it look useful lol
#jackytbh I slightly optimized it for tiled windows / desktops - the only thing I keep maximized is really Konsole/iTerm or Kontact/(officeware stuff for macOS)

#jeremycherfasI did! Last night in a mammoth long-distance debug using Omnibear locally, I was wondering about using shpub instead. But when I tried, it just seemed to hang with a > in terminal.
#jeremycherfasIn any case, we made some progress with Omnibear, so I think I will stick with that, for now.

#@jackyalcine↩️ lol! hopefully you won't have to - a lot of work is in the works to get people going.
you could even start with playing around with tools like https://micro.blog/ to see what ideas in terms of federated services people have for the IndieWeb (twitter.com/_/status/994128191961776128)

#[shurcool]Hi. Something I wanted to ask about... how common is it for indieweb people to host/own their contacts (aka address book)? Instead of using something like Google Contacts (https://contacts.google.com/) or iCloud Contacts, etc.
#[shurcool]I know that iOS and macOS support syncing contacts via WebDAV or so (I forget the exact API... oh, maybe it was CardDAV)
#[shurcool]so if your own contacts host supports that protocol, you can use iOS/macOS pretty seamlessly.
#[shurcool]kevin: there's a maintenance burden on doing anything yourself, of course 🙂
#[shurcool]but there are benefits too... and it can feel quite cool
#[shurcool]did you have some specific downsides in mind?
#[shurcool]I know contacts are usually quite closely tied to email, so if say you're using gmail and not keeping your contacts there, it will be pretty annoying having to copy/paste email addresses from your own place
#[shurcool](so it might be hard to stop using google contacts without also dropping gmail)
#aaronpkI keep trying to run my own address book but haven't found an easy way that also provides enough benefit yet
#aaronpkprobably because of the gmail problem like you mentioned
#[kevinmarks]I'm partly feeling guilty about how dated my blog rolls are compared to my silo follow lists
#[kevinmarks]And also aware of how hard contact sync is
#[shurcool]at least there's a well defined protocol for it (WebDAV/CardDAV)... I'm starting to fear it'll go away if not enough people use it and get replaced by proprietary corp protocols, which would be bad
#[kevinmarks]As they have different contexts - you sometimes want recent connections, sometimes a particular mode
#aaronpkAlso the WebDAV/carddav protocol is a nightmare so every time I think "oh I'll hook it up to sync with my website's contacts" I try and then run away screaming
#[kevinmarks]Except CardDAV is crud - it doesn't work well with merging
#[kevinmarks]Did I tell you the iPhone/Google contacts story?
#[kevinmarks]The contacts team at Google implemented CardDAV on top of the internal database
#[shurcool]so what you guys are telling me is that... contacts is an indieweb challenge that hasn't been really cracked yet 😉
snarfed joined the channel
#aaronpkIt's also only an indieweb thing if it relates to your website in some way. Otherwise it's just a indie thing.
#[kevinmarks]This was used to connect to iPhone by apple (this was ~11 years ago when they were cooperating more)
#[kevinmarks]Except Google contacts has all the emails of anyone you'd ever contacted in, and iPhone users were trying to text people
#[shurcool]well, it relates to my identity. and if I had my own contacts, i'd probably have a UI to view/manage it on my personal site (only accessible to me)
#[kevinmarks]So a lot of iPhone users cleaned up their address books
#aaronpkThe thing that will get me to solve it myself is to tie into my website's nicknames cache
#[kevinmarks]And email autocomplete stopped working for them in Gmail, because Google honours the Delete part of CRUD
#aaronpkI dont care enough about self hosting my contacts to do it in a way that doesn't connect to my website
#[shurcool]kevin: heh, sounds like things were working as intended, but people weren't educated on how to actually make use of the system... so it it was a poor user experience.
#[kevinmarks]When twitter suspended me last week I realised how much of my contact model is based on twitter
#[kevinmarks]It's also that CRUD is not a good fit for how people use these stores.
#[shurcool]it reminds me of that time iOS added Facebook integration (around iOS 4 or so), and it added all the facebook contacts (imagine people with 500 fb friends... all suddenly in their phone's contacts). there were tweets like "there are DOGS on my phone now. I mean literal dogs"
#[shurcool](cuz they had facebook accounts of people's dogs as friends)
#[kevinmarks]Every time I go to call Jolsha (my local Indian restaurant), Google auto-suggests Jolie O'Dell's number, and I really don't want to phone her by accident and ask for curry.

#[shurcool]I feel like indieweb could be a perfect hobby for those people who manage to get financial independence early on. there's so much interesting stuff to do, but it needs a lot of time. doing it part-time limits what you can get done.
#sknebelI think petermolnar had some contact selfhosting too, using Radicale?

#[jgmac1106][shurcool] but a lot of folks trying to break into junior roles often find an extensive open source contribution provides them with a GitHub profile that goes beyond their code camp or CS program

#ZegnatI was just looking at https://www.monicahq.com/ today and give that a try for contacts. They are also working on CardDAV support. I wonder if the CRM model for private contacts is any good.

#tanteklink to a website, link to a page, link to a post, link to a ... paragraph?
#KartikPrabhutantek: the current implementation of fragmention.js is paragraph (block element) level yes. But [kevinmarks]' fragmention concept is not
#[jgmac1106]@kartikPrahbu but I love seeing how other people mark up a same page I am reading. I know that isn't the exact fragmentions use case we are discussing (I think) but it's nice
#tantekconcepts are often defined by how they are popularly used
#KartikPrabhu[jgmac1106]: I don't know what that has to do with fragmentions
#[jgmac1106]like could a proxy be written that would show all the fragmentions on a page from a bunch of different users? I have no idea but that would be neat
#sknebelKartikPrabhu: what exactly do you mean when you say "using fragmentions for annotations"? That you display received ones as annotiations? that you create posts meant like that? ...
#KartikPrabhusknebel: display recieved ones as annotations. I also post them
#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "hypothesis" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "hypothesis is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#Loqifragmentioner is a Javascript utility by Kartik Prabhu which gives a pop-up link with the fragmention URL to a piece of selected text https://indieweb.org/fragmentioner
#tantek"Loqi: Fiddlesticks. I am at a loss for what is x. Should you feel inclined to craft a definition, you may do so by entering the following: "x is ..."
#[jgmac1106]@kartikPrabhu and a reader with fragmentions is what I was talking about I can subscribe to each perspn hypothes.is feed through rss but if I could pull in all the quotes my students highlighted in a reader it would be neat
#KartikPrabhui don't understand. that sounds like silos on top of silos
#[jgmac1106][tantek] forgot I could ask Loqi was asking you folks
#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "uncanny valley" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "uncanny valley is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#ZegnatI can’t wait for the day my phone makes all my phone calls for me. I absolutely hate phone calls
#KartikPrabhumaybe Loqi can call you on the phone to answer "what is" questions
#aaronpki gave a talk at google about Loqi a year and a half ago, while they were working on a secret new AI project, so...
#[jgmac1106]Sebastian's piece still getting much play. I thought Loqi was now sending out a specific tweet to point to more information whenever the feed picks it up
#[kevinmarks]Well, exactly. Google engineers think like that, not like the people that their robots will be phoning and distracting from their real jobs
#chrisaldrichI've asked my Amazon Alexa, "Loqi, what is ____?" in the past by accident...
#[kevinmarks]The uncanny valley is between Cupertino, Mountain View and Menlo Park; it is where product designs that only help very privileged employees of big companies come from.

#frankmeeuwsenI finally made my userpage on the Indieweb wiki. A first step in a more active involvement in what's happening here. I hope. Still a Padawan.
#frankmeeuwsenWell... one of the questions I have, how can I delete a webmention on my site? For instance, the last webmentions on http://diggingthedigital.com/fietsenstalling/ are from a test. I want to delete them but where and how do I do that?
#LoqiDe fietsenstalling als testgebied voor je app
#schmartymove over deep linking, deeper linking has arrived!
#frankmeeuwsenThanks gRegorLove. Missed this when I first started with webmentions. This was the first service that "just worked" so I sticked with it. But now it looks like it doesn't fully support various features.
#frankmeeuwsenIs it possible to switch webmention providers/services without loosing historical data?
#schmartyit is mostly a joke suggestion. i would expect folks in online publishing and copyright law to twitch at it, though. :}
#gRegorLovefrankmeeuwsen: I've never used webmention.herokuapp.com myself, so I'm not sure the state of development. I don't think I've seen the author (voxpelli) around here in a while, but maybe I've just missed them.
#KartikPrabhufrankmeeuwsen: same answer as any other service that is not hosted by you. You'd need import/export capability from both
#schmartyfrankmeeuwsen: you can re-send the mentions once you've configured the new service
#frankmeeuwsenschmarty You mean me sending mentions to others, but what about the received mentions?
#schmartybeing able to switch webmention receiving providers is part of why i wrote /Morris
#ZegnatYou can actually resend webmentions you received from others “on their behalf”, frankmeeuwsen. A webmention is just a `source` and a `target` link. So you can recreate the ones they have send you by setting source to their URL, and target to yours, and then sending it to your new webmention endpoint
#schmartyfrankmeeuwsen: a webmention is an HTTP POST to a webmention endpoint with source= and target= parameters. if you can get a list of source and target URLs stored at your current provider, you can feed those same mentions through the new provider
#Zegnatchecks documentation to see if all mentions can be retrieved from wm.heroku at once
#dgoldwill write up the process when I deal with my current lack of tuits (round, for the use of)
#dgoldgRegorLove: its not that hard to get the wm data from heroku
#ZegnatHow did you move all the bridgy wms in the end dgold? I was just checking all wms wm.heroku is storing for frankmeeuwsen’s website, and saw the twitter source links, and remembered that was a problem
#Zegnatfrankmeeuwsen, I’d be happy to have a look at what it takes to move from wm.heroku to something else tomorrow! Hit me up if you want to discuss :)
#[chrisaldrich]I'm also thinking about whose arms I can twist into going as well.
#frankmeeuwsenYeah thanks Zegnat. Tomorrow I'm busy with my son, we're visiting the Computer Game Museum for a good time together behind some consoles.
#[jgmac1106]I can offer up a room space if my university funds the entire trip, will know in a day or so if you know folks traveling on their own dime with empty pockets
#frankmeeuwsenBut I will definitely look into it some more
#frankmeeuwsentantek you definitely should! Just that feeling of playing the original Pong console with my 5 year old son was just incredible.
#ZegnatSo many great musea in the Netherlands, and I ended up not visiting any of them in a whole year, apart from when I was showing other people around :( If I end up moving back to NL, I am getting a museumkaart and see how many of those 400+ I can visit
