#
[tw2113] kind of thinking that with GoodReads generally handled right now, I should look into returning back to my FitBit data ownership 😄
#
[tw2113] i already have data from last summer, but that's the last of it.
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] [tw2113] have you quit Goodreads? are you syndicating data there?
#
[tw2113] likely not quitting completely, but turning more to secondary location to post to
quails left the channel
#
[tw2113] and will just post in both places until i manage to work with the API well enough to handle in 1 place and update remotely

#
[chrisaldrich] I've been doing things by way of PESOS for Goodreads, but my own explorations and most of what I've heard from others about their API makes doing POSSE seem awfully daunting...
#
[tw2113] yeah, very likely
#
sknebel morning everyone!
#
sknebel goodreads API seems pretty neglected. although that doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, especially not at single-user scale
#
[tw2113] i'm happy i managed to find an RSS feed for my status updates 😄

#
[chrisaldrich] What is Goodreads?
#
Loqi Goodreads is a silo for keeping track of books, reviews, and reading progress https://indieweb.org/Goodreads
#
[chrisaldrich] I"m wondering if we documented those feeds?
#
[chrisaldrich] +1 for me remembering to do that! 🎉
#
[chrisaldrich] Is that the feed format you're using [tw2113]? Or something else?
#
[tw2113] don't believe so
#
[tw2113] I found this, if i recall right `<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Michael's Updates" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/updates_rss/5295602?key=yBhuTRBOxBNHYLk19NLoGH04r2WamiMHODeou7KBUCCAIjuq" />`
#
[tw2113] if anything that's the one i'm using
#
Ruxton *copies Michael's key down*
#
Ruxton whistles quietly and walks away
#
[tw2113] shrugs
#
Ruxton haha
#
[tw2113] not sure what you could actually do with that part, and even then, it's book data
#
Ruxton private feed, containing anything u had private
#
Ruxton public feed has no ?key=
#
[tw2113] ah
#
[tw2113] eh, nothing private that I'm aware of 😄
#
[tw2113] anyways, bed time
shoesNsocks joined the channel
#
[tantek] welp that's a capability URL in the clear in the logs
KartikPrabhu and markopasha joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] That feed gives all of one's updates (status, bookmarks, etc.) and incidentally works without the key. The other feed I use splits out just the notes so I can get better posting fidelity. I've added the format to the GR page for future reference if anyone needs it.

jeremycherfas Good morning IndieWeb and zegnat
#
Zegnat Good morning jeremycherfas! Back from vacationing and into IndieWebbing again?
#
jeremycherfas Yes! Making progress on PESOS from IG to WithKnown
#
Zegnat Amazing! Hope you will write up a blogpost about it, seeing how many people are still interested in crossposting with Instagram :)
#
swentel hmm yeah, I got blocked with my server fetching instagram pages, other ways to get that working again would be great :)
#
jeremycherfas Takes me a while to find an hour or two clear to make progress, but so far, definitely so good.

jeremycherfas !tell zegnat Just stole another 1:40 (was supposed to be 1 hour only) and now "just" have to build the cURL. More or less. I'm sure there'll be other stuff too.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[MitchWagner] It’s odd that POSSE has come to be considered rude, even downright sleazy, on Reddit. Maybe other sites too. Probably has to do with commercial publishers overdoing it.
#
[MitchWagner] I am now POSSEing the previous comment using the sophisticated Internet technology of “cut-and-paste.”
#
[MitchWagner] No, wait, I’m PESOSing it. So confusing!
#
aaronpk There's a lot about reddit culture I'm not a fan of
wolftune joined the channel
#
sknebel reddit has softened their official rules in regard to that a bit
#
sknebel individual communities of course still have all kinds of rules
#

#
[MitchWagner] Posting to Reddit is often too much work. Seems like half my posts are rejected for some arbitrary reason, generally by a bot with no explanation of what rule I might have broken. I get that their moderators are trying to keep their subs focused, but their priority is not mine.

[tantek] I don't bother reading Reddit for all the cultural problems
#
[tantek] nevermind posting
#
GWG Goal for today...return to office after air conditioner arrives....get set up.... hope enough time to do some Indieweb stuff before bed

[tantek] The problem of ambiguity of location, (semi-)automatic trending text etc.: https://twitter.com/sethisnotmyname/status/1288148514300600320

@sethisnotmyname A building on Folsom street in SF is on fire so “Folsom” is trending in California & now people in the city of Folsom, CA are complaining that the hashtag is misleading (twitter.com/_/status/1288148514300600320)

[tantek] (also it's not a hashtag, see thread)

[jgmac1106] little vocabulary flip card thing I made, though I couldn't style my ul to be aligned left....too much work to figure out how the flex box is set: http://vocab.tech-4-teens.club/

[jgmac1106] this is strange somehow a bunch of my student websites were all hacked in the same way : http://sebastianvalencia.tech-4-teens.club/ and http://aryansingla.tech-4-teens.club/ yet customized all the passwords myself

#
[manton] [gRegorLove] I noticed today that indiebook.club is available. Can’t remember if it was always available and you decided to pass on it. But just FYI. 🙂
#
Zegnat [jgmac1106]: hacked how?
#
Loqi Zegnat: jeremycherfas left you a message 7 hours, 30 minutes ago: Just stole another 1:40 (was supposed to be 1 hour only) and now "just" have to build the cURL. More or less. I'm sure there'll be other stuff too.
