[chrisaldrich] This looks like an interesting event for the tummellers in the crowd who are interest in content moderation, trust, and community safety: https://friend.camp/@darius/109463759280138885
#
Loqi [preview] [Darius Kazemi] I'm hosting a webinar about trust and safety on the fediverse this Thursday, Dec 8th at 12pm Eastern. It's an introduction to the state of content moderation and community safety here.I hope it will be useful to people at civil society organizations ...

gRegor Seems like a quiet indieweb evening. I'm working on adding a privacy policy to my site.
#
gRegor I'm setting up a simple profile system where people can sign in and subscribe to my newsletter, so thought it would be good to have something.
#
GWG gRegor: Sounds fun.
#
gRegor Going through yours as one reference point, GWG.
#
gRegor You working on anything?
#
GWG I used a stock thing, and haven't worked on it in a while.
#
GWG As for me, not for the last few days. Been trying to make garbage. I have too much junk
#
GWG I've been thinking about what I'll do when I have time off next week

guysoft[m] <[KevinMarks]> "Hi guysoft, that's great. How'..." <- Hey, its going well, I got a small asus mini pc on loan from a friend to handle the load. And people are interested, the largest instance closed registration so mine is the first stop. The two main issues I have is my email server is getting blocked by google all the time - or worse, reports all is good and delivers mesages to spam. And that I need to upgrade the Pleroma software

#
[snarfed]2 [tantek] Is it loading for you?! That whole site has been 404ing for me since yesterday
#
[tantek] [snarfed] I just loaded http://powazek.com/posts/3571 no problem
#
aaronpk i get 404 on the https version
#
[tantek] I mean I just clicked the link that was here in chat 😛
#
[tantek] y'all aren't assuming you can just slap an "s" in there are you?
#
[snarfed]2 Oh wooowww the site serves https but 404s everything?! Ugh
#
[snarfed]2 Many if us run https everywhere 😆
#
[snarfed]2 This is a pretty bad failure mode
#
[tantek] quite the :trollface: though perhaps unintended
#
[snarfed]2 Surely intended, but still

#
[snarfed]2 Er sorry unintended
ehmry, mro, mdemo, geoffo, joshproehl, nertzy[d] and IWDiscordRelay joined the channel
#
[snarfed]2 [tantek] is it worth filling a bug against Firefox's https-only mode for that? I'm honestly not sure
#
[snarfed]2 I guess they could do the HTTP equivalent of happy eyeballs, try both and use the one that returns 2xx/3xx
IWDiscordRelay, nertzy[d], joshproehl and petermolnar joined the channel
#
[tantek] He’s a prominent enough site that it’s probably worth it
#
[snarfed]2 also interesting that I literally can't get Firefox to load the http version with https-only mode on. usually it offers that fallback if the site doesn't serve on https, but in this case it does
mro and joshproehl joined the channel
#
[jacky] I think it might be aggressively following HSTS rules here
#
[snarfed]2 it's not serving the HSTS header
#
[snarfed]2 (also doesn't help that the http site is now down too, but that's a separate problem)

#
[tantek] whoa I see the down message too: "Error establishing a database connection"
#
[tantek] what is Error establishing a database connection
#
Loqi [tantek]: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (database), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
Loqi Error establishing a database connection is a common error message often shown as big bold text on sites (often WordPress, nearly daily across sites) that have experienced a loss of connection between their web server (software) and their database server (software) https://indieweb.org/Error_establishing_a_database_connection
#
[tantek] lol
#
[tantek] could it be ... a thundering herd took it down?
#
[jacky] wow we got a thing for each day https://indieweb.org/2022-12-indieweb-gift-calendar
#
[snarfed]2 over to you all for at least the next few days though, I don't expect to ship anything else for a bit 😎

#
[jacky] w.r.t https://jacky.wtf/2022/12/cSjE, does anyone else (I know fluffy does) implemented local site sign-in? I'd like to use it to enable some light /reader like behaviors on my site (like showing a way to interact with posts)
#
Loqi [preview] I'm making some huge changes in my site in prep of using it for more of my comms and devs, a bit similar to how https://simonwillison.net/ does it. Right now, I'm going to experiment with implementing local sign-in to my site. It'll probably be incom...

#
gRegor I'm working on local sign in, jacky, using passwordless email login that sends a unique link
[manton] joined the channel
#
[jacky] oh nice!
#
gRegor Might add indieauth, but the primary audience is for people from Facebook/Twitter to subscribe to a newsletter of my posts, not people with personal sites.
#
[jacky] yeah I've been wondering about how to make stuff like that easier for folks - email sign-in is def a good way to go about it

#
[chrisaldrich] There are many days I feel like I'm running my personal website in "goblin mode". I'm wondering if I should create a forward facing interface to reflect the chaos that's happening behind the scenes? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/dec/05/goblin-mode-new-oxford-word-of-the-year
#
gRegor Haha
#
gRegor I was surprised that was the word of the year. I've heard it before but didn't notice it like taking off this year?
#
gRegor Glad Metaverse didn't make the cut though XD
#
gRegor That could be fun, [chrisaldrich]
