@vgan @miklb I noticed using the twitter client with my bots that some had it, so I tried the regular API call with >140 chars and it worked. (twitter.com/_/status/928058106134884352)

[eddie] !tell tantek: you might want to try the API again now. They are claiming as long as the rest of your endpoint code is up to date it should just work: https://twittercommunity.com/t/updating-the-character-limit-and-the-twitter-text-library/96425
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek oh?

Loqi [aaronpk] #49 increase shortening length to 280 characters
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] snarfed++ for getting bridgy publish updated to 280 already this morning
#
Loqi snarfed has 18 karma in this channel (314 overall)
#
[eddie] Just did a test post after I saw the bridgy issue closed and it worked!
#
aaronpk do I not understand python?
#
aaronpk named parameters for function calls are a thing right?
#
aaronpk https://github.com/kylewm/silo.pub/pull/49/files#diff-6e1182134666688c21e571e00dd2102dR344
#
aaronpk that function is defined here https://github.com/kylewm/brevity/blob/master/brevity.py#L126
#
aaronpk apparently I don't know what i'm doing. I don't get why it isn't working
#
[eddie] aaronpk: Do they have to be in order?
#
[eddie] target_length BEFORE format?
#
aaronpk I don't think so, I thought it turns it into a dictionary effectively
#
[eddie] I don't know python either, just trouble-guessing
#
[eddie] ohhh okay
#
petermolnar no, there is no need for order with named arguments
#
petermolnar aaronpk what does 'not working' mean?
#
aaronpk it's still truncating to 140
#
petermolnar I don't see any obvious reasons, it should work
#
petermolnar change it in the function definition temporarily
#
aaronpk that's part of brevity which is a different repo, and I have no idea where that's installed
#
petermolnar /usr/local/lib/python[version]/dist-packages/brevity-[version]?
#
aaronpk ohh I might have not restarted the service
#
aaronpk I thought it was running under passenger but I think it's actually not
#
aaronpk progress, now I get a 500 server error ?
#
aaronpk now where is uwsgi writing its logs
#
aaronpk oh great, more errors I dont understand
#
aaronpk it's getting importerrors trying to run it
#
petermolnar lemme' see it somehow

aaronpk https://gist.github.com/aaronpk/ff7b4fa43fdb681ca46e2b61651249b2
#
aaronpk looks like kylewm added something about raven here https://github.com/kylewm/silo.pub/commit/4920f6e66f34779887583869f625aa71f2d643ac
#
petermolnar `sudo pip3 install raven` unless you're running it in a virtualenv
#
aaronpk shouldn't that also be added to requirements.txt?
#
petermolnar yes, it should
#
aaronpk k I added it, then re-ran pip install -r requirements.txt and it looks like it installed
#
aaronpk ran `. venv/bin/activate` again
#
aaronpk but still getting the error that it's missing
#
aaronpk oh, something is making it run under python3 but I installed it to python2
#
aaronpk why do I even have two versions of python installed?
#
petermolnar that is a long story
#
petermolnar comes from the os level
#
petermolnar pip3 install -r requirements.txt
#
aaronpk hm I don't have pip3
#
aaronpk now I do
snarfed1 and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
petermolnar re 2 vs 3: many of the ubuntu projects used to be python2 and the default install is still python2 in many cases even though the libs that were not ported to python3 should simply die
#
petermolnar how exactly are you starting the service?
#
aaronpk well right now i'm trying to run it from my active ssh console. i'll move it to the ubuntu init script later
#
aaronpk so: `. venv/bin/activate` then `uwsgi --ini silopub.ini`
#
petermolnar oh
#
petermolnar uwsgi doesn't respect the virtualenv
#
petermolnar https://stackoverflow.com/a/18418014
#
aaronpk oh boy
#
aaronpk k maybe I don't need the virtualenv?
#
petermolnar if you don't virtualenv, you need to pip3 install with sudo, so it's available system-wide in /usr/local/lib/python[version/
#
petermolnar if you don't virtualenv, you need to pip3 install with sudo, so it's available system-wide in /usr/local/lib/python[version]/
#
aaronpk that's fine
#
aaronpk oh I get it
#
aaronpk so now I just run `uwsgi --ini silopub.ini`
#
aaronpk yay it works
#
Loqi giggles
#
petermolnar so virtualenv is useful to try things and throw away or when you don't have sudo
#
petermolnar otherwise, just install it system-wide, once you trust the libs

#
aaronpk this is the only python app I run so i'm not super concerned
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
aaronpk thanks for the help petermolnar!
#
petermolnar np
#
aaronpk learning a new language is one thing, but the whole environment and deploying apps is always so drastically different
#
petermolnar I know... I kinda have to learn java again due to work... a language and environment I wanted to forget

#
[keithjgrant] My MP endpoint on Heroku seems to be acting up ?
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] Oh. My office blocked the app ?
#
aaronpk wow
#
[keithjgrant] They block everything. It's insane
#
[keithjgrant] Looks like I can move to a custom domain/subdomain on Heroku, but I'll lose SSL unless I upgrade to a paid plan
#
sknebel [keithjgrant]: I see you use cloudflare for your main site, you could put that in front of heroku as well?
#
[keithjgrant] Hmm. Yeah, I should be able to. Didn't work at first, but need to double check config
#
sknebel sadly you can't put different routes on different origins on the free cloudflare, that'd be especially nice
#
[keithjgrant] I barely understand what I'm doing whenever I deal with dns config
#
gRegorLove dns is magic
#
[keithjgrant] Ok, dns is fine. Heroku is serving 404
snarfed joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] I added the domain in the Heroku settings. Maybe I don't need that. Just point cloudflare to the same URL I've been using
snarfed, tantek, snarfed1 and [keithjgrant] joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] Now my Netlify build is hanging. Why does everything break at once? ?
#
sknebel (if you use netlify you could also use them to pass through the mp endpoint to heroku I think, that might be easier than setting up cloudflare a second time)
#
aaronpk I always forget about google webmaster tools but there's some pretty amazing information in there

@netlifystatus We've mitigated the immediate cause of the slowdown and are still working to put a more thorough fix in place. If you have stuck builds, please contact support so we can restart them for you. (twitter.com/_/status/928342447138136064)

#
snarfed1 aaronpk: what was it?
#
aaronpk a JSON list of a user's instagram photos
#
dgold so no more OYG?
#
aaronpk I guess they finally finished switching to GraphQL
#
aaronpk nah I just had to use their GraphQL endpoint instead :P
#
aaronpk https://www.instagram.com/aaronpk/?__a=1
#
dgold yeah, I just found that too
#
aaronpk it was a really minor change :P https://github.com/aaronpk/OwnYourGram/commit/58553387cefdf44786769c44d73d47ced853852a
