#
[chrisbergr] GWG, I noticed on Sunday that while the checkin itself came to my page as a new post, there were no webmentions from those Coins comments. Thought I did something wrong...
#
GWG Mine was disabled in the Own Your Swarm UI. Reenabled
#
[chrisbergr] Oh. Yes, the settings I once made are reset for some reason.
#
[chrisbergr] Thanks for the tip

[grantcodes] Interesting way to make a website by uploading photos of a notebook https://paperwebsite.com

petermolnar I can't tell if it's a satire or serious

[Paul_Walk] Is there an appropriate channel for asking "newbie" questions? I have used the https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me service and got an unexpected result...
#
nekr0z I wonder if they really solved the handwriting OCR and how many languages they support of they did...
#
nekr0z [Paul_Walk] #indieweb-dev may be more appropriate, but that depends on the level of technicality your question has. You aren't likely to be banned from here for asking anyway, so go ahead and ask ;)
#
[Paul_Walk] Thanks! Not a very technical question I think - I have set up rel="me" on my homepage, and added the "authn" class to the GitHub link: `rel="me authn"`. I have successfully tested web sign in against the Indieweb wiki, delegating the authentication to GitHub.
#
[Paul_Walk] This all works perfectly
#
[Paul_Walk] However the check at:
#
[Paul_Walk] https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paulwalk.net
#
[Paul_Walk] says that several of the target sites do not "link back" despite my having added my website URL to the appropriate places in the "profiles" on those sites - e.g.:
#
[Paul_Walk] https://twitter.com/paulwalk
#
[Paul_Walk] I can't really see what might be wrong?
#
[snarfed]1 [Paul_Walk] the backlinks on those sites are missing `rel="me"`. apologies, we should probably improve that indiewebify message!
#
petermolnar rel=me is "synchronous", it should be like that on both websites
#
petermolnar some websites - eg github - do it nicely, others - eg twitter - don't. You can't fix these latter, sadly.
#
aaronpk Yeah don't worry about it, twitter and other places don't really return real HTML anymore, and often try to prevent automated tools from fetching the pages
#
[Paul_Walk] Ah - OK - I hadn't misunderstood then! Thanks very much for clarifying :-)
#
[Paul_Walk] On to microformats.... 🙂

@seldo Crypto's biggest trick has been creating centralized systems run by small cabals of early winners that run on distributed systems, and telling people that "distributed" and "decentralized" are the same. (twitter.com/_/status/1460614399601774592)
