aaronpk: instagram api vs scraping, whee! :P right, granary REST and UI now only scrape, for exactly that reason. the library itself still supports the API, for users with approved apps.
#
aaronpk
oh gosh okay haha
#
Loqi
hehe
#
aaronpk
I was trying to find out how granary was scraping but then didn't see that code
#
aaronpk
aha :) I saw a bunch of references to the API URL strings and didn't realize that file did both!
#
aaronpk
window._sharedData thought so!
#
aaronpk
so does it convert only the images loaded in the single request? so like 12 at a time or whatever?

snarfed

#
snarfed
(cargo cult)
#
snarfed
yeah just that page
#
snarfed
but has to fetch each media permalink to get comments, likes, etc
#
aaronpk
oh nice
#
snarfed
i can probably get scraping into the REST API by tomorrow mid morning ish if you don't want to reproduce all this
#
aaronpk
that sounds great 😄
#
GWG
aaronpk: Thanks for the Emoji Detector update
#
aaronpk
no problem!
#
aaronpk
I mean it was a little bit of a problem
#
aaronpk
but it's done now :)
#
GWG
aaronpk: You did some other stuff at the same time I see
#
aaronpk
I updated the emoji DB as well
#
aaronpk
but that was unrelated to the changes needed for 5.3

Ooh, I like the chat log date subheadings in the selected timezone
#
aaronpk
it was necessary when I switched the day pages to UTC
#
aaronpk
cause now the lines might span a day change in your local timezone

!tell aaronpk: I’m installing telegraph on my server, and while following the instructions I don’t see a schema.sql as instructed here: https://github.com/aaronpk/Telegraph#developing I only see under ‘migrations’ an init.sql and a couple random id strings .sql files

sknebel if I may make a wiki edit request of you, could you have a look at https://indieweb.org/Let%27s_Encrypt#Renewal ? E.g. the systemd heading talks about setting up a service, but certbot comes with a service all ready these days if I remember correctly from us setting it up? That page might do well with a little updating so people will be les
#
Zegnat
s worried about renewals!
#
sknebel
remind me tomorrow evening if I haven't done it in the mean time?
#
Zegnat
Will do. Thank you!
#
Zegnat
I don’t actually know enough about what we did to do it myself, I’m afraid.

ancarda
I can confirm the Certbot timer that's installed out of the box does work, at-least for Apache. I haven't tested it with Nginx (I guess wait a few months and see if my website's SSL breaks)
#
ancarda
Perhaps it's worth saying I typed the whole command like, `certbot certonly --non-interactive -d $domain --agree-tos -m you@example.com --webroot --webroot-path /path/to/www`
sgreger joined the channel
#
ancarda
There's a way to add a hook to that to run `systemctl reload nginx.service`, but I never added that
#
aaronpk
sgreger: I think what you're seeing is the fallback API mode. try setting "extended entities" in the API request
#
Loqi
aaronpk: [eddie] left you a message 13 hours, 36 minutes ago: I’m installing telegraph on my server, and while following the instructions I don’t see a schema.sql as instructed here: https://github.com/aaronpk/Telegraph#developing I only see under ‘migrations’ an init.sql and a couple random id strings .sql files
#
aaronpk
oops [eddie] i'll fix
#
aaronpk
sgreger: in the fallback mode, any tweet longer than 140 chars by the old counting rules will be truncated and you'll see the link to the full tweet
#
aaronpk
in extended mode you should see everything
#
sgreger
aaronpk: does that also work with statuses/home_timeline ? it's not mentioned in the parameters there.
#
aaronpk
yeah it should
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie]
aaronpk: I'm working on breaking my monolithic eddiehinkle.com code into more micro-services. I kind of want to make my authorization endpoint completely separate from my website. So that I have a micropub endpoint, an authorization endpoint, and a website that are all separate.
#
[eddie]
The only issue I'm thinking through is I want to do something similar to your login screen where I can override what channels things get added to during authorization. Is your authorization code base built into your micropub endpoint? Is that how you are setting those values? Or do you somehow communicate that information between your authorization endpoint and the micropub endpoint?
#
aaronpk
my micropub endpoint and authorization endpoint are both part of my actual website
#
[eddie]
ahhh gotcha. I figured they probably were based on those customization options
#
sgreger
aaronpk: cool, that was the nudge in the right direction! using the Twython library, I had to add tweet_mode='extended' to the api call and now it works :)
#
aaronpk
sgreger: awesome
#
Zegnat
ancarda: I followed instructions from sknebel to add the nginx reloading hook. Which is one of those little things that I forgot the exact detail about, so would love him to document instead
#
[eddie]
aaronpk: the only other question I have is, have you ever tried to have them separate and it went badly or you just decided to build it together from the get-go?
#
sgreger
aaronpk: thanks for you help! what i am trying to replicate is what tantek mentioned here: https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-11-28#t1511911221641000
#
Loqi
[tantek] wow this is cool (indie aggregator by Andy Baio) http://belong.io/
#
aaronpk
I was using indieauth.com for a while but decided to move it into my own site in order to have more customization options like that
#
[eddie]
Makes sense. Thanks 🙂 Always good to gather lessons learned before embarking down a specific direction 🙂
#
sebsel
[eddie] to me it doesn't make sense to get the micropub endpoint outside of your site... it's like taking a door out of a house (and adding a window that connects to the door)? Posts have to get inside in some way, right?
#
aaronpk
having a separate micropub endpoint makes sense for things like jekyll sites, where it's a separate service because it can't really be part of your site
#
sebsel
aaa, yeah. You can't separate it from the content, but you can separate it from the part that serves the content.
#
aaronpk
that's a good way of putting it
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[eddie]
sebsel: Yeah, currently I have jekyll so I have a micropub endpoint that puts content into a specific folder but the "display" code is currently jekyll. I am planning on changing that, but I do like the idea that if I wanted I could have a PHP website with a node.js micropub endpoint, etc
#
[eddie]
Basically being able to use the right tool for the right job
#
[eddie]
and just have them all agree on the content directly
#
[eddie]

arbogasta joined the channel
#
[eddie]
I'm thinking customization is definitely something I want, so maybe integrating my micropub and IndieAuth service is the right direction. That should allow customizations like channels, etc. But since I want my website to be able to allow others to authenticate and view private content. So my website will have to add IndieAuth login flow for other users, so I might as well use it for my login to.
#
sebsel
(o wow, I just looked at slack because eddie pinged me, but it looks like the whole conversation between aaronpk and me is shown as send by me... is that a known bug?)
#
[eddie]
Yeah, known iOS bug
#
aaronpk
it's a Slack iOS bug
#
sebsel
Okay!
#
[eddie]
That's actually pushed me to start using the chat.indieweb.org for reading on mobile 🙂
#
aaronpk
[eddie]: being an indieauth server and logging users in is pretty separate, there's nothing wrong with solving those two different ways
#
sgreger
aaronpk: it still returns quite a few Twitter status-URLs, but those appear to be posts from people i don't follow (i.e. from retweets/likes)
#
sgreger
...i guess i could at a later stage work on some way to retrieve those links as well
#
sgreger
(but that would likely have to be on a tweet-by-tweet basis)
#
[eddie]
aaronpk: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Seems like authenticating users with IndieAuth and displaying content from my site to them (or me) is fine to be it's own encapsulated thing (except for the content directory, which it and micropub have to agree on).
#
[eddie]
If anyone else reads the logs and has thoughts how I'm separating my site, feel free to ping me 😉 I'm interesting in thinking this through well before implementing
#
aaronpk
the guiding principle I used when deciding how to split up my new site was essentially that the core of my site should not interact with any external URLs
#
aaronpk
*URLs not under my control
#
aaronpk
so the first one to split out is obviously sending and receiving webmentions, since in both cases that requires interacting with arbitrary URLs
#
aaronpk
webmention.io handles the verification and parsing of received webmentions, then delivers them to my site as a web hook
#
[eddie]
ohhhhh, that makes sense.
#
sgreger
that is something i have been doing as well (if i understand that correctly) - my site does not load any 3rd party resources or links to functionalities provided under external urls
#
[eddie]
That's one reason I installed Xray locally. There was parsing I was doing inside of my micropub endpoint, and I'm trying to shift that all to my local xray install
#
aaronpk
sgreger: I think you're a more extreme example of that even. I have 3rd party client-side scripts still.
#
sgreger
heh. indeed!
#
aaronpk
but my server-side code doesn't interact with arbitrary URLs. it's more about the security of my server than anytihng related to 3rd parties
#
sgreger
and all the indieweb magic (at least the parts i use) is provided by the wordpress plugins ;)
#
sgreger
ah, i see!
#
sknebel
Zegnat ancarda the mean issue with renewal is that if you add your own cron/timer with a renewal hook set and let the default one run in parallel, sometimes the default will win and renew the cert without a reload. Got some people confused in the past (especially since they added their own later/switched it from cron to timer on debian at least)

GWG
So, inspired by pfefferle implementing composer in one of his plugins I contribute to, I decided to do the similarly in mind.
#
GWG
Anyone have any good composer advice?
#
ancarda
What sort of advice? Are you making a package or just depending on one?
#
GWG
Depending. Trying to think of useful things to do with it
#
GWG
I was manually pulling in dependencies.
#
ancarda
Well, any dependency you had previously, if it’s on packagist.org (or you manually define the location), you could pull in via composer
#
ancarda
I guess the main benefit would be keeping third party stuff in the vendor directory, as well as allowing you to update versions easily
#
ancarda
It also pulls in your dependencies’ dependencies, e.g. Slim depends on Psr/Http
#
GWG
I just figured that I should research the capabilities of the tool.
#
GWG
I see a scripting option
#
aaronpk
i'm very glad to have started using composer
#
GWG
aaronpk, how so?
#
GWG
The manual talks about scripts, plugins and custom installers
#
aaronpk
makes sharing code between projects so much simpler
#
aaronpk
the manual isn't a very good tutorial IMO

GWG, are you going to do a /holiday_theme for it as well? 😉
#
GWG
chrisaldrich, theming isn't my strong point

gRegorLove
aaronpk: Maybe we could get php-mf2 0.4.0 released by the end of the year
#
gRegorLove
what is holiday theme?
#
Loqi
Holiday theme is a temporary custom CSS or other change in a website typically meant to visually indicate the celebration of a holiday or special occasion https://indieweb.org/holiday_theme
#
aaronpk
I forgot the state of that , is it pending some changes ?
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: I think it just needs review of the latest changes in my PR: https://github.com/indieweb/php-mf2/pull/131
#
Loqi
[gRegorLove] #131 Improve dt- parsing
#
gRegorLove
And 0.4.0 because https://github.com/indieweb/php-mf2/pull/125 is technically a breaking change for removing 'alternates'
#
Loqi
[gRegorLove] #125 Add rel-urls object
#
GWG
What is new in php mf2?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "new in php mf2" yet. Would you like to create it?
