chrisaldrich Instagram << https://theus.github.io/instantgram/ A bookmarklet for downloading images from Instagram.
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://theus.github.io/instantgram/ A bookmarklet for downloading images from Instagram." to the "See Also" section of /Instagram https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=69576&oldid=69517
#
Zegnat It says it supports video and stories? That looks really interesting!
#
chrisaldrich I know that several had said they were having problems with this sort of Instagram data lately with the shutdown of APIs etc. I haven't seen a good working bookmarklet like it in a while, so even without video/stories, it's a win.

supernovah Hiya, got a random subjective question: How might you restructure security on a website where you were asked to remove all logins? The website I'm working on deals in ceritifications and they're paid for and have unique identifiers, but are sequentially numbered. The new proposed model was to allow anybody to produce database entries without authenticating, so as long as they have a valid id number
#
Zegnat Having a hard time relating it to IndieWeb though, maybe a question better asked off-topic in #indieweb-chat or some more security oriented channel?
#
Zegnat Iā€™d go back to the start and ask why login is being removed. (Although it sounds like login is not being removed but just exchanged for authentication-with-predetermined-ID?) If login is being removed because no security is needed, there is nothing to restructure, haha.
#
supernovah because the users of it are old men and dont like having to log in
#
supernovah and yea I had no idea what this channel was for, but it was the largest one with web in its name
#
supernovah is it really for people who drink coffee and have whisker moustaches or something?
#
Zegnat Haha, it is for people and web, but mostly personal websites. See https://indieweb.org :)
#
Zegnat I personally do not drink coffee, so I take great offense being assigned such a label! Hahaha
#
Loqi Zegnat: lol
#
supernovah bloody coffe drinker you!1
#
Zegnat What is capability url?
#
Loqi Capability-URLs sometimes called hard to guess URL or secret URL and used for granting access to a resource to anyone who has the URL https://indieweb.org/capability_URL
#
[LewisCowles] Hey Prateek
#
Zegnat You may be looking for something like that, supernovah ^^^

[KevinMarks] Who wanted multiple authors examples? https://twitter.com/AlexanderRKlotz/status/1252389218514427909?s=20
#
@AlexanderRKlotz Google Scholar has parsed this cafeteria lunch menu as an author list, and it's delightful https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWFhVUyUMAIUItI.png (twitter.com/_/status/1252389218514427909)
#
Zegnat [KevinMarks]: what does the ?s=20 on the end of those Twitter URLs do? I always end up stripping it off again because I want to see some of the great responses people post
#
[KevinMarks] I'm not sure - I think it changes display mode
#
sknebel and the number afaik is tracking the platform you shared from
#
Zegnat I always find it interesting how it seems to be cutting off responses specifically. That is the only visual change I can see.
#
Zegnat Was wondering if there was any special reason for you appending it, [KevinMarks] :) As I seem to recall you sometimes like to rewrite utm values and the like
#
sknebel afaik the app appends it if you share the link?

cutler_ruzi Hello! I think I need some help with POSSE
#
jeremycherfas Hello cutler_ruzi What's the question?
#
[KevinMarks] What are you stuck on?
#
cutler_ruzi So, I am replying on two services to post from my site to a mastodon instance. I made my first note here - https://rusingh.com/notes/2020/04/21/posse/. I have included a brid.gy invisible link in the page HTML (this is the note permalink). When I check if there are any outgoing webmentions using https://webmention.app/test?url=https://rusingh.com/notes/2020/04/21/posse/, it complains there is nothing. I'm trying to get it working through the notes RSS
#
cutler_ruzi mainly, but that returns the same results: https://rusingh.com/notes.xml
#
Loqi [Ru Singh] This note was posted on my own site following the principle of #POSSE - Post (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. I hope it makes its way to Fosstodon!
#
cutler_ruzi relying*
#
cutler_ruzi For brid.gy, I checked their docs here - https://brid.gy/about#webmentions
#
jeremycherfas Sorry; I'm not a big brid.gy user.
#
cutler_ruzi Oh, thanks anyway Jeremy.

[chrisaldrich] Not sure how new this UI is, but when clicking on a photo in Twitter to see the larger version it still presents the Twitter stream relating to the photo on the right hand side while allowing the stream to be open/closed. I could imagine something like this for a collection of photos as well. Here's a *very* quirky example so folks don't need to dig one up: https://twitter.com/sarah_calavera/status/1252293599418408960

@sarah_calavera 1. The Heksenfluit, (witch flute), c. 1850, is fashioned from a bone and a rat leg. Believed to be inscribed with sigils and spells which were used to call witches together on the sabbath. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWEKY_fUEAAh7Ez.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1252293599418408960)
