[kimberlyhirsh] Tiff is a friend of mine and the founder of my co-working space. My first recruit! Tiff is using micro.blog and we had a conversation today about how micro.blog handles many of the IndieWeb building blocks for you.

chrisaldrich I remember there was a good overview page that delineated the differences/uses between h-, p-, u-, and e- microformats prefixes, but can't find it again. Does anyone have a pointer?
[snarfed] joined the channel
# chrisaldrich thanks snarfed! I was starting to go batty looking for it....
kensp joined the channel
# chrisaldrich Yes, writing up a long post about modifying the Twenty Fifteen theme with some overview of microformats...
# chrisaldrich I still need to finish building the integrations for Simple Location and Syndication Links so that I can include those.
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
# 
[Michael_Beckwit i’m still mulling over a blog post about myspace and how it feels like the last big bridge between tinkering/website customization and the social media landscape we know today
# chrisaldrich Then I want to roll the whole thing up as a stand alone forked theme as well as a child theme that one could furhter customize
# chrisaldrich [Michael_Beckwit, do it! It's amazing how much creativity "Big Blue" sucked out of the web when they prevented people from customizing anything....
# [Michael_Beckwit what’s ironic is at the time, i was all for it, because my elitist webdev/designer in the making brain said “omg they’re so ugly and garish! etc”
# chrisaldrich GWG, what's odd is just a few minutes after snarfed pointed it out, I ran across jeremyfelt's post that quoted and linked it too. If only I'd been a bit more patient, it would have come to me anyway...
# [Michael_Beckwit the year 2020 being 2020, that was people having fun and making something uniquely theirs, 15 tables deep or not
# [Michael_Beckwit i’ve seen Jeremy around the WP community for a number of years now, so it’s awesome to see a renewed interest connection with him lately
# chrisaldrich Has he popped up in chat here yet?
# [Michael_Beckwit not that i’ve seen, but maybe someone could nudge him
# [Michael_Beckwit granted i’ve spent the last hour going through the musicians I follow on twitter and complaining in my head how many don’t have dedicated websites

# chrisaldrich What else is everyone working on tonight?
# 
techlifeweb trying to figure out why Brid.gy doesn't see my rel="me" to Instagram
# techlifeweb hmmm appears my brid.gy account is set up for insta and working but when I try to log into brid.gy it says there is no rel=me. Weird.
# chrisaldrich techlifeweb, did you get it fixed earlier and this is a new problem or a similar problem as before?
__sun__ joined the channel
# __sun__ i'm in ?
# chrisaldrich Hi __sun__
# __sun__ hi, was trying webmentions and stumbled upon birdgy. Unable to connect my twitter thought. Getting error 500.
# __sun__ basically i'm trying to get webmetions working on my static site
# chrisaldrich I see your rel="me" on your site. Did you get a Brid.gy account set up?
# chrisaldrich I saw a 500 on Brid.gy a few minutes ago myself. Perhaps snarfed is tinkering with the server this evening?
# chrisaldrich What is Brid.gy?
# 
Loqi Bridgy is an open source project and proxy that implements backfeed and POSSE as a service https://indieweb.org/brid.gy
# __sun__ i think so, here's the link https://brid.gy/github/MrSunshyne
# techlifeweb I noticed the problem earlier today.
# techlifeweb Havent checked brid.gy in a long time so who knows when it started
# chrisaldrich That looks like you've gotten Github connected. Did you try the Twitter button on the homepage? Or you did and that's where you got the 500?
# techlifeweb Twitter works
# techlifeweb and I seem to have an account on bridgy for Insta https://brid.gy/instagram/techlifeweb
# techlifeweb but logging in doesnt work
# __sun__ that's where the error occurs. I click twitter, login & authorize twitter, the callback gives 500
# __sun__ see screenshot here : https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/910
# chrisaldrich techlifeweb, I thought I saw some chat about it in the #dev channel earlier today, but not sure if there was a consensus/resolution: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2020-01-17#t1579284624200300
# Loqi [[snarfed]] [techlifeweb] sorry for the trouble ^! bridgy is getting a HTTP 406 error when it fetches your home page https://techlifeweb.com/ . sorry the error message is misleading. is your web server maybe requiring the Accept HTTP header now?
# techlifeweb hmm have no idea about the accept http header
# techlifeweb have to look into that one
# chrisaldrich __sun__ I would guess that it's just a temporary connection error. You might try waiting a bit and trying again later.
# chrisaldrich techlifeweb, who is your host?
# __sun__ alright i'll check back later. Thanks for the guidance chris !
# chrisaldrich __sun__ do stop back by if you need more help. Which static site generator are you using?
# techlifeweb chrisaldrich: hostgator
# chrisaldrich That might give snarfed some additional ideas about what the root issue may be. Not sure if there has been issues with their set up before.
# [Michael_Beckwit well that’s refreshing. i momentarily broke tw2113.blog, BUT i am not sure how to get the non-https version to redirect to the https version at the moment
# [Michael_Beckwit especially with the cert handled by micro.blog, but the domain registered in dreamhost
# chrisaldrich [Michael_Beckwit depending on the cause of the issue you may be able to tweak your .htaccess file and/or maybe you need to update your database to define the root site as https instead of http
# [Michael_Beckwit it’s all A record DNS settings
# [Michael_Beckwit i’ll work on it more soon, it’s late 😄
# chrisaldrich I'm starting to feel that too. My brain is getting too fuzzy to look at code.
# [Michael_Beckwit chrisaldrich …do you want a potentially extra marker to check how old you may be? 😄
# [Michael_Beckwit cause if you remember when youtube didn’t plaster the end of videos with “next suggestions” and author overlays…you may be old
# __sun__ @chris my site is built on top of Nuxtjs, the back end is a headless GhostCMS. The nuxt part is completely custom
# __sun__ @chris my site is built on top of Nuxtjs, the back end is a headless GhostCMS. The nuxt part is completely custom
# [Michael_Beckwit they’re the youtube version of radio DJs talking over the end of songs
# chrisaldrich I was writing HTML to make a website for an FM Radio station in '93, so, yeah, I'm old....
# chrisaldrich what is Nuxtjs?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Nuxtjs" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Nuxtjs is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# chrisaldrich What is Ghost?
# Loqi Ghost is an an open source blogging software project written in node.js, and also a hosted silo at https://ghost.org https://indieweb.org/Ghost
# chrisaldrich __sun__ you might find some useful tidbits on that ^^ Ghost page
# chrisaldrich good night all... back in the morning.

# chrisaldrich Hello GWG!
# chrisaldrich Has anyone found a good image, emoji, or icon that they think nicely represents the idea of syndication or cross-posting?
# chrisaldrich I'm almost there GWG. I put a few things on hold to switch themes. I've cleaned a lot of things up to make the upgrade to Post Kinds easier after that.
# chrisaldrich I ended up getting rid of my custom Highlight kind and rolled it up into my Annotation kind.
techlifeweb joined the channel
# chrisaldrich Yes, I'm trying to find something that I can use to roughly match up with the icons in the post footer here: https://boffosocko.com/2020/01/18/55764943/
# chrisaldrich I'm going to move the syndication links into that footer...

[dmitshur] hello. I'm almost done adding support for web sign in via IndieAuth (and via RelMeAuth with GitHub) to my personal site. if you have a personal site, would you mind trying to sign in with it at https://dev.dmitri.shuralyov.com/login and let me know how it goes? thanks!

# Loqi [indienews] New post: "Making Meetable Easier to Install" https://aaronparecki.com/2020/01/18/7/meetable-updates
chrisaldrich joined the channel
# chrisaldrich What is meetable?
# Loqi Meetable is an open source events aggregator that is used for the IndieWeb events site, https://events.indieweb.org https://indieweb.org/Meetable
# [snarfed] [dmitshur] cool! looks like you still need form-encoded support? i tried it with https://snarfed.org, correctly sent me to indieauth, logged in with GitHub ok, then the callback url on your site gave this error:
# [dmitshur] [aaronpk] has just reported something very similar and I may have resolved the issue you're seeing too. I now set an Accept header with value application/json, which should hopefully get the response in the same format. [snarfed] do you mind trying again now?
# [dmitshur] woohoo, great! thanks for testing it 🙂
