#
Zegnat That HTTP 999 code is really puzzling from LinkedIn, petermolnar :/ Did you see any documentation on that?
#
Zegnat (My favourite trick of using Google’s UA doesn’t seem to bypass authwall either.)
#
petermolnar nope
#
petermolnar as mentioned, according to their FAQ, this is not even a thing
#
petermolnar the authwall
#
petermolnar I'm just hoping the web doesn't pick 999 Request Denied up, that sounds way too dystopian
#
Zegnat For sure

[kevinmarks] 451 is dystopian enough

GWG aaronpk, what is the best way to move my data from mqtt to Compass?
#
GWG Is it better for me to build a mqtt to http gateway or a PR for Compass if I can figure it out?
#
aaronpk I don't know much about Mqtt yet, so I'm not sure how it would fit in to Compass directly.
#
Loqi aaronpk: [eddie] left you a message 5 hours, 49 minutes ago: I think indienews is broken. 500 error on webmention? https://telegraph.p3k.io/webmention/12BCWO1g1Rvu0uSdYj/details
#
aaronpk If it means there are android apps that could talk to compass then I'd consider it
#
GWG aaronpk, there are several. I moved from the abandoned Owntracks to the maintained Zanzito
#
GWG Basically, you publish/subscribe to a topic which contains a payload.
#
aaronpk What format do these apps send the location data in?
#
aaronpk Compass is based around GeoJSON
#
GWG The topic varies, the payload is json, just not GeoJSON
#
GWG So, it is a json object with latitude, longitude, etc
#
aaronpk If there isn't a sort of standard these apps are using then it might make more sense to do that conversion outside of compass
#
aaronpk Otherwise compass would need to hardcode support for each format each app sends
#
GWG aaronpk, all push latitude and longitude inside the object, but the other properties vary.
#
aaronpk It'd be a trivial amount of code to write an MQTT subscriber that sends HTTP payloads to Compass
#
GWG aaronpk, that was one of the options I was considering.
#
GWG I don't even have to write one. I could use Home Assistant till I do
#
GWG It already is pulling in the data and can output it.
#
GWG I just figured I'd ask the question about whether it made sense to incorporate it
#
GWG I want a location server, and while there are alternatives, I like your software
#
GWG Storing my location to update exif in photos and posts.
#
GWG I am going to look at other options too.

#
GWG Does anyone display altitude?
#
GWG I was thinking of doing so when above a certain height
#
aaronpk that'd be fun
#
aaronpk GPS altitude is super inaccurate so it's really only useful to get a rough idea like 5000ft vs 30000ft
#
GWG Question is above what reading do I bother displaying it?
#
GWG I was enjoying it reporting 37000 ft

@keithjgrant @adactioLinks Looks like webmention.io parsed this as a reply. And sent me a heading and a large-formatted date along with it 🤔 (twitter.com/_/status/952556774493696002)
#
aaronpk hmm
#
aaronpk adactio's bookmark has the wrong u-url
#
aaronpk hmMMMm that's because there is no explicit u-url on adactio's post
#
aaronpk keithjgrant: if you use the new webmention.io format then it recognizes it as a bookmark: https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target[]=https%3A%2F%2Fkeithjgrant.com%2Fposts%2F2018%2Fmeet-the-new-dialog-element%2F&target[]=http%3A%2F%2Fkeithjgrant.com%2Fposts%2F2018%2Fmeet-the-new-dialog-element%2F&target[]=https%3A%2F%2Fkeithjgrant.com%2Fposts%2F2018%2Fmeet-the-new-dialog-element

Zegnat Ugh, basically every DOM lib for PHP I am finding is made for more “HTML features”, rather than more DOM API. I am going to have to write my own code, I guess. The lazyweb has failed me.

#
Zegnat Is that a reply to something? ^^^
#
aaronpk I don't think so
#
aaronpk another reason micro.blog should build in its own IndieAuth server
#
@aswath @PhoneBoy Can you not use email or PGP key? https://indieauth.com/pgp (twitter.com/_/status/952600673065013248)
#
GWG aaronpk: Or I should build one into WordPress
#
sknebel not or, and ;)
#
aaronpk yep
#
GWG I'm moving in that direction slowly

#
@aswath @PhoneBoy I am not familiar with microblog, but when I took a look at it, looks like they use email based auth (indieauth?). No? (twitter.com/_/status/952607377865560069)

#
aaronpk anyone know how to deal with cleaning up the .git folder? I have an in-progress git pull that failed cause the disk filled up, and it looks like it was writing a bunch of data into .git that is now stuck there
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk :sigh: I'm just gonna upgrade the disk space on this server
#
dgold you could do the following:
#
dgold Copy the working files out to a different location
#
dgold do a hard reset to a non-corrupted commit
#
dgold copy the working files back in & commit
#
aaronpk thankfully I dont have any local changes
#
aaronpk there's 5gb of data, but this .git folder is 11gb now
#
dgold if you don't have any local changes, then poss you should scrub the repo and git clone again
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat rm -rf .git
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk 😮
#
aaronpk so when I do `git gc` it does the compressing stage, then "writing objects" and then fills up the disk
#
aaronpk and I can't figure out how to delete whatever it's done
#
aaronpk running `git gc` again starts over but I don't get the disk spaceback
snarfed and eli_oat joined the channel
#
aaronpk nuking and re-cloning
#
aaronpk except I forgot that it's coming from my home network so i'm capped at 5 mb/s
#
aaronpk probably should not have done this right before i'm supposed to meet people for lunch
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat Told you aaronpk, rm -rf .git ;)

dgold how big was this repo?
#
aaronpk ~5gb
#
dgold you're not using git as a backup solution - are you?
#
aaronpk it's my website's storage folder
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk *whew* it's back
#
dgold oh, good
#
dgold did you increase the storage buy?

aaronpk deleted the whole posts folder, re-cloned from git. now the .git folder is only 4gb instead of 12
#
sknebel guess now is a bit to late to remember that git clone has a --depth option if you do not want to sync full history
#
aaronpk I think i'm still gonna resize the disk since i'm bumping up to the limit

#
Zegnat aaronpk during a server reboot: can’t move because that throws off location, can’t eat or drink because that can’t be added to the time series, can’t sleep because that data too has to go somewhere.
#
Zegnat (Hyperbole of course, as I know a lot of that data does not rely on posting instantly to the site.)

aaronpk_ I do actually freak out if my gps logger stops working and try to not move til i fix it
