aaronpk do I remember you saying you used silo.pub with Quill?
#
aaronpk
i think i've tried that before
#
aaronpk
i do use silo.pub to syndicate to twitter/facebook/github but i trigger it from my own micropub endpoint
#
[miklb]
ah, that’s probably what I’d like to do with WordPress endpoint then.
#
aaronpk
i can add any micropub endpoint as a syndication target in my site
#
aaronpk
so i can use silo.pub or even another instance of my site

[miklb]
how might that look aaronpk, the silo.pub endpoint as a syndication target.
#
[miklb]
I thought the Known plugin used micropub but seems it just uses GH api.
#
[miklb]
are you running your own instance of silo.pub?
#
aaronpk
i had to when silo.pub was down every week because the disk was full ?
#
[miklb]
ah, that explains the difference in the URL. So how do you pass the access token within that?
#
[miklb]
sorry for probably obvious questions.
#
aaronpk
it signs in via indieauth!

I'm cooking but I can answer sporadically

[miklb]
thanks! Whatcha cookin’?
#
aaronpk
tater tots :-)
#
[miklb]
so I get that you auth your silo.pub from within your backend, how does that authorization persist so it can be a syndicate-to ?
#
aaronpk
My site stores the access token it gets at the end of the flow
#
[miklb]
and a syndicate-to is just a POST

#
tantek
what is donation
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "donation" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
tantek
what is payment
#
Loqi
payment in the context of the indieweb refers to a feature on an indie web site that provides a way for the visitor to that website to pay (currency, gift card credit, etc.) the person represented by that indie web site https://indieweb.org/payment
#
tantek
I feel like I've seen lots of blogs with "Donate" buttons on them (micropatronage and such) but can't recall any off the top of my head

I see them in the job queue... looking good so far!

drewinthehead: great post! Have a webmention from me as well :)
#
drewinthehead
Looks like I have a bug in how I processed the content from your source, aaronpk. Time to dig in and debug.
#
aaronpk
i'm kind of an edge case :)
#
aaronpk
i'm guessing you didn't find my author info, in which case read https://indieweb.org/authorship

hmm, someone proposed a "decentralized oauth 2.0" session at the next oauth wg meeting

Isn’t oauth decentralised?

in theory yes, in practice no

oh, i remember seeing this a few months ago when he published it... https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hardjono-oauth-decentralized-00

different kind of decentralization

(dgold, did you see the gist I sent you?)
#
dgold
sknebel: yes :) I followed it
#
sknebel
does it work and show errors, or fails?

sknebel
(it loves to spam exceptions while working just fine)
#
dgold
yes, exactly - spams huge amounts of exceptions, but works perfect

hm, my git for TTB is quite ugly right now, I should clean it up and send a PR to fix at least some of them

nothing :)
#
Zegnat
petermolnar I seem to recall ganalytics has some pretty stringent terms that forbid Google from using the data outside of analytics?
#
petermolnar
I never checked, never used ga
#
aaronpk
dgold: hmm i don't have errors when i use it
#
aaronpk
maybe some version of something is wrong
#
sknebel
aaronpk: I guess you use all features. if you don't, then it complains that values aren't set
#
aaronpk
hm, i might need some specific examples
#
sknebel
e.g. the profile_data hook
#
aaronpk
i can send just "content" to the bot and it works fine
#
sknebel
it works
#
sknebel
it just throws exceptions on the console all the time
#
aaronpk
feel free to file issues for stuff like that
#
sknebel
I have sending a PR for it on the todo list
#
sknebel
just wasn't high priority since it works
#
dgold
the current big error is:
#
dgold
NoMethodError at /message
#
dgold
undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
#
dgold
in irc.rb - its certainly to do with the profile matter, as the error is in fetch_user_info
#
aaronpk
ah sounds like it's missing the profile_data section in the config file
#
sknebel
yeah, if you don't define a hook it fails trying to find it
#
sknebel
I just commented it out locally, but adding a NilCheck would fix it
#
aaronpk
just pushed a fix for that

“the whitelist approval”?

#
sknebel
regarding debug display, didn't sl007 make card-displays for mf2 objects? is that public somewhere?
#
sknebel
Zegnat: you asked about authorship discovery for h-feeds (for my debugging tool) - is there a clear standard for that?
#
sknebel
(or just apply the same algorithm to the h-feed instead of picking a post from it?)
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat
I would say follow https://indieweb.org/authorship but start at step 4
#
Zegnat
and whenever it says “h-entry's page” treat that as “h-feed's page”
#
Zegnat
Would that make sense?
#
Zegnat
Since the algorithm is supposed to work with author information on h-feeds anyway
#
sknebel
I'm not sure what the last line means, but other than that it's not a big change
#
Zegnat
What line? the “since the…”? I mean that all steps after 4 are supposed to work with author property value taken from h-feed already, so I feel like there should not be any problems. If there is an h-feed specific issue with the algorithm, that might need to be fixed just to work for h-entry also.
#
sknebel
ah, ok
#
sknebel
yes, except the "check for h-feed wrapped around it" I don't see anything that's specific to an h-entry
