nekr0z I've been thinking about avoiding having other people's data on my website in the same vein maya kate did, but for people-mentions. Ended up writing a little heroku app.
#
nekr0z https://indieweb-glue.herokuapp.com/api/photo?url=website.me parses website.me for a representative h-card and gives a photo if one is present. I still need to add caching and some other bells and whistles, but I already have pictures showing up on my site without having to store them or explicitly link to them - yay!
#
Loqi yay!
#
nekr0z Thanks, Loqi, you always understand! :)
#
Loqi you're welcome

nekr0z <Ruxton "nekr0z: "no photo" on parsing my"> For some reason, the https://github.com/willnorris/microformats library I use to parse the page doesn't see an h-card on yours.

#
willnorris nekr0z, ruxton: it looks like the page legitimately doesn't have a representative h-card? I don't believe it's just an issue with the go library.

[chrisaldrich] A wild willnorris appears! 👋
#
willnorris hah, hey :) I got an alert when my microformats library was mentioned above :-P
#
Loqi willnorris has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (5 in all channels)
#
[chrisaldrich] willnorris++ for having a microformats library
#
[James_Gallaghe] It looks like your Heroku app is working for my domain nekr0z
#
nekr0z [James_Gallaghe]: glad to hear! There's a lot to improve yet, though; the work isn't even half-finished.

nekr0z Ruxton: FWIW, I fixed it, works correctly with your website now. Thank you for calling me out on this!

#
[tantek] This felt relevant to IndieWeb, why we post etc: “Your content reveals your consciousness” https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5E0ErpiIW/
#
[tantek] It both resonated with me and made me question it (eg many folks only post a deliberate subset of the facets of their lives, and that doesn’t make them any less conscious)
#
[tantek] Curious what others think
#
nekr0z I, for one, don't feel conscious enough to register an Instagram account, so there's no way for me to read that post :)
#
Guest86689 Your content reveals that part of your consciousness that you want to reveal, and you may not even be conscious of how little that it.

#
[Ana_Rodrigues] Hummm that topic has been living rent free in my head for some weeks now but I haven’t had the time to write it out.
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] Also because I changed my mind every day.
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] Some days I want to have honest and vulnerable “content” … other times I am afraid of the hidden consequences of that.
KartikPrabhu and markopasha joined the channel
#
[tantek] [Ana_Rodrigues] legitimate concern and can empathize. I used to post more vulnerable content (like earlier months on my “old” blog)
#
[tantek] nekr0z I use a Firefox add on that allows viewing IG posts without login. Can dig it up once I’m on my laptop
#
nekr0z [tantek]: thanks for the hint, I'll give it a google

[Sanne_Peters] Hi
#
nekr0z [Sanne_Peters]: Hello!
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] Hi!
dckc joined the channel
#
[Sanne_Peters] I'll introduce myself. My name is Sanne (as you could have guessed) and I am from the Netherlands. I kinda got interested in the whole IndieWeb thing a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because I care a lot about personal ownership of data.

#
[James_Gallaghe] Hello!
#
[James_Gallaghe] [Ana_Rodrigues] I sort of gave up on the idea of having content when I started building my IndieWeb site. One day I think I wrote about tidying up my house. I just write about whatever comes to mind.
#
sknebel Hi [Sanne_Peters]! do you have a website already?
#
[James_Gallaghe] That’s the lovely part about having a personal website. Everything, from the content to the design, is yours. You set the terms. There are no real expectations.
#
[James_Gallaghe] [Sanne_Peters] Welcome!
#
[Sanne_Peters] yep, sanstream.nl

#
[frank] Hi Sanne! Good to see more Dutch people here! 🙂
#
[Sanne_Peters] I am really at the early stages of it all, getting rel="me" in there.

[Sanne_Peters] Odd... just added rel=me to my website and this validator says I did it: https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsanstream.nl
#
[Sanne_Peters] but both links (github and twitter) do not link back... but as far as I can github does.
#
[Sanne_Peters] Never mind... used http to test, not https...
