dansup aaronpk: interesting, is your site compatible with gnusocial?
# aaronpk not yet, I tried getting bridgy fed set up with it so it would be, but ran into some problems
# aaronpk but people are following my photos, and i'm following other peoples' photos just fine right now
# dansup interesting

# dansup aaronpk: I'm working on a federated image sharing web app (like instagram meets mastodon), I'll have to bug you sometime and figure out how we can get interop
# dansup Just started it last night, but I'm making pretty good progress already. Basic stuff like registering and posting to the local timeline is done
# aaronpk wow
# aaronpk well the easy place to start is adding microformats to the site, then everyone using indieweb readers can follow the posts. then you could send and receive webmentions like micro.blog does.

# aaronpk interop in small pieces
# dansup aaronpk: I'm not sure that webmentions are the best idea for use in the fediverse, privacy wise. https://mastodon.social/@dansup/99798566933190785
# Loqi [dansup] I don't think webmentions are appropriate for the fediverse. The privacy implications, along with the potential for abuse (DDoS) do not justify any benefits in my opinion. #webmentions #fediverse
# dansup If you have ActivityPub support on your site, I can remote follow you and my server will push any updates I make to your site
# aaronpk that's not the gargron thread is it?
# aaronpk that argument completely missed the point
# dansup no I made that thread I linked.
# aaronpk but directly related https://mastodon.social/@dansup/99808239582872418
# Loqi [dansup] @deadsuperhero Privacy should be the priority. Gargron made a good point here https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/99798054496158900. If webmentions are implemented, it should default to opt-out with a setting to enable it.
# dansup aaronpk: If webmentions are supported, I think it should be opt-in by default. The user might not be aware of that, so I think privacy wise it should be disabled by default. What do you think?
# aaronpk the point is webmention is just the federation plumbing, and is just how it works. no need to enable or disable
# aaronpk if you're really concerned, you could avoid sending webmentions to links that are just a plain mention of a URL, e.g. just linking to something in a post. but any like-of or reply-to URLs should always get a webmention, since you're saying you're actively replying to that link
# dansup Yeah, maybe I am being too paranoid. I would be okay with blacklisting webmentions to facebook and google and enabling them ;)
# aaronpk "luckily" facebook and google don't accept webmentions right now anyway so you're safe
# GWG aaronpk: That cookie that pfefferle put in isn't working.
# aaronpk GWG: what cookie?
# aaronpk oh

# gRegorLove This is a weird PHP thing I don't think I've seen before: `class Foo {}` followed by just `Foo;` not `new Foo();`
# gRegorLove Inherited code on a PHP 5.4 server (ouch)
# aaronpk gRegorLove: does that.. do anything?
# gRegorLove That's what I'm trying to figure out, hah. In my testing no, just treats it as an undefined constant, so treats it as 'Foo'
# gRegorLove The files were encrypted with ionCube, so I'm wondering if the decryption messed something up.
# aaronpk runs away
# aaronpk GWG: okay fixed indieauth.com to work with auth endpoints that have a query string

@ChrisAldrich Today I updated the IndieAuth plugin for #WordPress, and I can now use my own website as an #IndieAuth authorization endpoint (including provisioning and revoking tokens) for a multitude of things including a huge number of micropub clients.

# [miklb] aaronpk I’m looking over dgold’s installation instructions and it mentions ” need to have a token endpoint set up already in order for Aperture to know how to verify access tokens it receives in Microsub requests” I don’t follow that step
# aaronpk If you already support Micropub clients it should work fine

# j12t aaronpk: so Watchtower has three entry points? 1) Web server request, 2) a persistent .service, and 3) a cron job? What's the difference between 2 and 3?

# [snarfed] I'm guessing they (and AP) need private sharing, and we don't really have even private posts (much less wms) thoroughly worked out and widespread in the wild in indieweb, so they don't know that it's possible or how to do it

# tantek wow completely missed the DRY / sidefile debate yesterday morning
# tantek anything new?
# tantek anyone who thinks stuff "just" works with side-files / feed files has never had to incrementally implement new content types in their own CMS / site and feel the actual engineering / development pain of having to implement *twice* (or more) for every feature.
# kaushalmodi After the debate, I tried implementing jf2 json files for my static site, and it was a much better experience than manually embedding the mf2
# tantek side-files do not "just work", they force you to double (or more) your code maintenance tasks, including bugfixes over time
# kaushalmodi jf2feed: https://scripter.co/jf2feed.json
# tantek kaushalmodi: you're mistaking the cost of initial implementation, for the cost of lifetime implementation, which is 99% maintenance, 1% intial implementation
# kaushalmodi jf2post:https://scripter.co/optimize-your-fontawesome/jf2post.json
# tantek maintenance is where side-files die
# kaushalmodi Of course I am talking from my perspective, but there's hardly any maintenance neeeded in the case of static sites.. it's just 2 lines to implement the jf2post.. which will work independently of how the page HTML changes: https://gitlab.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-theme-refined/blob/0f371f0fecbaabadaf7ff2621eb020d5f53ba313/layouts/_default/single.jf2post.json#L20-21
# tantek no, when you add new features to your CMS, new content types, new properties for higher fidelity content, you have to maintain your code, updating it accordingly
# tantek if all you want to do is reimplement early 2000s RSS then yes, "there's hardly any maintenance neeeded"
# tantek if you want to create something feature competitive with modern social media tools, you will have to keep incrementally implementing new features
# tantek every (side-file / feed file) format you add support for increases your code maintenance burden accordingly
# tantek code meaning the code that generates the static sites
# Zegnat Adding mf2 to your HTML also adds maintenance, I think that is the argument some people are making. So if (plain HTML + sidefile) is less maintenance than (plain HTML + mf2), that is totally doable. E.g. kaushalmodi saying adding a jf2 file was less maintenance than adding mf2 into the HTML.
# Zegnat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
# kaushalmodi correct
# kaushalmodi Someelse else presented the benefit of sidefiles.. basically separating the content from metadata.
# kaushalmodi If I disable jf2 generation (by commenting just one line in my site setup), my site will still be functional.
# kaushalmodi I cannot disable mf2 embedding that easily.
# dgold I don't think mf2 + html <= html + sidefile
# dgold its a similar level of maintenance
# dgold the peculiarities of the side file might make a little headache, mind
# tantek but it's not meta-data, it's actual data
# kaushalmodi For mf2 embedding, you might have to structure your HTML a particular way.. for example, I needed to add few extra div wrappers for mf2 classes.
# kaushalmodi Adding jf2 sidefiles did not need me to mess with the content (HTML)
# tantek kaushalmodi: mf2 was designed to minimize or not even need any changes in the markup - if you're finding you have to do that, share your example and ask for help
# tantek probably means we could provide more examples
# kaushalmodi tantek: By meta-data, I mean.. the data not used to show the content on browser.
# aaronpk there's definitely a maintenance cost to adding mf2. that's why I haven't even added mf2 to some of my post types yet
# kaushalmodi I had to add many divs and spans with .hide class just for adding p-author, h-card, etc.
# tantek that's not what meta-data is, meta-data is literally data about data
# kaushalmodi Because I treat that as meta-data, not something to display on my site
# tantek kaushalmodi: you shouldn't have had to add "many divs and spans" - sounds like there may be a misunderstanding of how mf2 works
# tantek you don't display divs and spans either
# tantek mf2 classes are just like more tags, they're not "meta-data"
# kaushalmodi OK, let's not consider the technicality of meta-data vs data for now.
# tantek if you follow your reasoning, you should just serve plain .txt and put the HTML in a separate file
# tantek mf2 is just more HTML that's the key
# kaushalmodi What I am getting at is that I needed to add this for h-entry compability:
# kaushalmodi <!-- To complete the h-entry meta-data as per https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-entry/ --> <a class="u-url hide" href="
{{ .Permalink }}"></a># tantek you didn't already have a link to your permalink?
# kaushalmodi no, not on that same page
# tantek on which page?
# Zegnat Oh yeah, that gets me sometimes too. I have been hijacking the link[rel="canonical"] for that recently.
# kaushalmodi On the list/feed pages, I of course had the post permalinks, so there this hide class was not needed
# aaronpk that's a pretty common one i've seen
# tantek o rly
# tantek if it's so common, where are the docs of examples of it?
# aaronpk also getting the authorship right is always a trick
# Zegnat People do not want a navigationable link from the permalink page to the permalink page. Thus people are hiding the link.
# kaushalmodi tantek: https://scripter.co/optimize-your-fontawesome/ For example: why would I need a permalink for a page on itself?
# aaronpk personally i like having a page link to itself on the timestamp of the post, but not everyone agrees
# tantek hmm I'm confused, I thought the *common* pattern (e.g. WordPress by default etc.) is for the post title to link to the permalink
# tantek even on the permalink page
# aaronpk post title? i don't think so. also that doesn't help with posts with no titles
# Zegnat Not in modern WP, and not for a long time at the least. Not sure when they would have done that.
# singpolyma I've always done that, but I know some people don't
# kaushalmodi also, some posts don't have dates too.. like "about" page or "colophon" page
# singpolyma the default WP theme still does
# aaronpk oh yeah, i had to add the text "permalink" in place of the timestamp for those kinds of pages
# Zegnat Default WP theme does that? I totally do not remember it doing that.
# singpolyma ... and "about" page is not a post
# kaushalmodi so that's the point I am making..
# kaushalmodi with sidefiles, you can pack all the needed "data" in there, without messing with the normal page HTML structure
# Zegnat kaushalmodi, a possibly slightly less ugly way to do it is to use link[rel="canonical"]. See source here: https://vanderven.se/martijn/big5.html
# Loqi [Martijn van der Ven] Martijn’s Big Five personality traits
# kaushalmodi Zegnat++ Very cool, will do that.
# Loqi zegnat has 53 karma in this channel (196 overall)
# Zegnat Well done Loqi, getting my name and everything!
# singpolyma you certainly don't need the class=hide in your case because (a) you have no text in the anchor tag, so it won't show anyway and (b) you can target u-url directly with CSS
# tantek interesting, I use a visible <input> at the end of my posts to make it easier to copy/paste the URL when you've finished reading it
# tantek and that's marked up with u-url u-uid
# tantek with the canonical URL of course
# tantek instead of hiding it in a <link>
# tantek sounds like this discussion / examples is worth documenting, since it is unobvious, and/or a challenge
# tantek what is a permalink?
# Loqi A permalink is a URL which typically represents and retrieves a single post (also explicitly called a post permalink) https://indieweb.org/permalink
# kaushalmodi tantek: About copying, I just do Ctrl+L Ctrl+C :)
# singpolyma In general, people can copy the permalink from their location bar. But I do still linkify my title because it's easy
# singpolyma and helps some users
# tantek kaushalmodi: sure that works for you but is not obvious for most users
# aaronpk i copy from location bar on a laptop, but it's soooo awkward on mobile
# tantek ^^^ exactly
# aaronpk much easier to use the "share" action on mobile
# singpolyma really? Which mobile?
# aaronpk ios, it always selects things awkwardly
# tantek there's plenty of web UIs where copying the URL is difficult or completely hidden
# singpolyma interesting
# tantek singpolyma: EVERY SINGLE EMBEDDED WEBVIEW IN A SEPARATE APP
# aaronpk oh god also that
# tantek like if you click on a link in the Twitter iOS app
# tantek no URL bar. good luck
# aaronpk want to copy the link of the thing you opened in the twitter app? good luck
# singpolyma Oh man. that sounds horrible
# tantek lol jinx
# tantek sounds like we have a bit of a divide here
# tantek between experience being primarily / only laptop / desktop
# tantek and OTOH mobile browser / webviews
# singpolyma I use mobile all day. Just not iOS :)
# tantek same in android apps
# singpolyma Good to hear about these limitations
# Zegnat webviews on Android haven’t been hard on me, but I may not end up in them often enough. Most of them have a way to send whatever is open to Chrome where you get the full UI.
# kaushalmodi Zegnat: I see one problem implementing your trick.. My "single post" template touches just the body tag.
# Zegnat E.g. Facebook just lets you break out of the webview on Android
# tantek kaushalmodi: also many (most?) CMS put various ?utm_crap in the URL in the address bar
# tantek so after you paste it you have to edit that crap out
# Zegnat kaushalmodi, ah, yes, that would be a setback.
# kaushalmodi To add that rel=canonical, I will need to rearrange my template structure to include head tag in the "single post" layout too
# singpolyma kaushalmodi: or move the link tag to body, maybe?
# tantek kaushalmodi: if you have to, <a class="u-url" href=""></a> also works
# kaushalmodi tantek: that's why I stick with static sites.. think work exactly as I designed.. but I can see a use of permalinks in those cases
# kaushalmodi s/think works/things work/
# kaushalmodi tantek: That's was I have right now
# kaushalmodi .. the a tag with u-url class
# Zegnat A big part of the static site generator I am playing with is actually just smartly adding a wrapper div to my content to make e-content work. So I totally see where people are coming from when they say they need to reorganise their HTML to add mf2 :)
# kaushalmodi I was just looking into refactoring that into rel=canonical
# tantek kaushalmodi: but you don't need to replicate your permalink
# tantek since relative URL resolution will fix it in your case (since you don't use any ?utm nonsense)
# singpolyma kaushalmodi: tantek means that markup literall. empty string for href
# kaushalmodi ah, understood, thanks
# Zegnat (You can actually add rel="canonical" to the <a> as well, if you want to provide that.)
# tantek hmm I thought we had an issue for also treating non-href u-* values as relative
# Loqi [Zegnat] #10 u- parsing should always do relative URL resolution
# kaushalmodi tantek: I'll just leave it as it is for now. Replicating the permalink is not a problem.. it's just .Permalink in my template
# kaushalmodi I've always been a fan of absolute links
# tantek kaushalmodi: fair, in that case you can make the markup even friendlier (and invisible even without any CSS) with a <data> element
# tantek e.g. <data class="u-url" value="
{{ .Permalink }}"></data># tantek that's also better for accessibility, since you avoid having an empty anchor
# kaushalmodi Thanks. Can that data tag live in the body tag?
# tantek yes absolutely
# kaushalmodi s/data/<data/
# Zegnat Not selfclosing
# kaushalmodi oh
# Zegnat I think
# tantek even if it's not perfect, it's an improvement
# tantek correct, do not self-close
# Zegnat Double checked. Not self-closing.
# kaushalmodi ok, thanks.. I thought that data tag was analogous to self-closing meta tags in head
# tantek in general in HTML, there will be no more self-closing tags
# tantek that bit of XML has been abandoned

# kaushalmodi tantek++ :)
# Loqi tantek has 27 karma in this channel (427 overall)
# tantek kaushalmodi: the broader purpose of the data tag is to markup data that is different from the visible text, e.g. <data class="p-rsvp" value="yes">I'm going!</data>
# tantek different *syntax
# Zegnat Ha, the example showing “a blog post using the article element” in the HTML spec can’t be marked up with mf2 without adding a wrapper <div> either. Atleast not to cover what most people expect from h-entry.
# tantek Zegnat - worth a pull request to improve the HTML spec :)
# Zegnat Not really. There is simply no <content> element. Which we would need to add e-content
# kaushalmodi Just to clarify.. can u-* type be a non-link?
# Zegnat Anything can be anything. u-* just instructs parsers to look in e.g. href-attributes first. And to resolve from relative URLs to absolute ones.
# Zegnat You could use p-url as well, if the URL isn’t in a href-attribute but in plain text.
# kaushalmodi I failed to note of an issue.. some p-*/u-*/?? did not work in the wrong tag.
# Zegnat Basically the classes are: [parser instruction]-[property name]
# kaushalmodi Let me see if I recorded that in any of my commits
# Zegnat p- is never going to look in href-attributes, for instance.
# kaushalmodi Done. Thanks guys: https://gitlab.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-theme-refined/commit/10cf48c4acd09ee94fb31b745039813ffb6bfb36

# Zegnat The example blog post from the HTML5 spec, but featuring mf2: https://gist.github.com/Zegnat/23b1edc42c1b0d48d2443cea922cf8be ... if only I could mark up the contents.
# Loqi The Very First Rule of Life
# Loqi The Very First Rule of Life
# Zegnat That HTML is actually super close to how I have been authoring my posts for grapefruit.zegnat.net. My static site generator adds the wrapping <div> required for e-contents when I am done writing.
# kaushalmodi Zegnat: What SSG are you using? Have the theme in public?
# Zegnat My SSG is 1 file of PHP DOM-mutation code that I wrote myself.
# tantek onefilephp++ :)
# Loqi onefilephp has 1 karma
# Zegnat It parses the HTML of a template file, parses separate post files. From every post file it extracts the root “article” tag, does some magic to embed mf2, and then appends it to the month-view-template.
# Zegnat Then writes 1 file per month, and sets a symbolic link for index.html to the latest month.
# Zegnat Of course whether the month stuff works I will not know until next month ;)
# tantek Zegnat hah - I used to keep one static file per month in my original blog! (2002-2008)
# tantek (I mean it's still there at tantek.com/log )
# kaushalmodi Thanks for that info.
# Zegnat You were definitely one of many inspirations for the format, tantek
# tantek Zegnat it made some things easier
# tantek and enabled preserving some of the stylistic creativity I experimented with early on
# tantek but since I noticed that I stopped changing the styling for the last many months of those years of the blog, I decided I could let go of the simplicity of that "feature" when building Falcon for my new blog
# Zegnat Makes sense.
# Zegnat If I have time again, maybe this summer, I will see if I can port the site generator to Go. See if I can learn that language.
# Zegnat Mostly because I like doing DOM manipulation on the HTML, and PHP isn’t really the best language for that.
# tantek haha seriously
# tantek I am painfully aware of that
# tantek (my static file storage depends on / uses PHP documenting loading and DOM manipulation)
# aaronpk there is no best language for DOM manipulation :P
# Zegnat Possibly
# tantek hah
# Zegnat But in PHP I have to use a separate library for HTML5 parsing, and then I still only get what libxml things of as a DOM to work on :(
# tantek no seriously did superfeedr just go down?
# tantek now getting lots of "No hub at pubsubhubbub.superfeedr.com"
# Zegnat (Also considering Python, as the HTML5 library there seems to be doing well for other IndieWebbers.)
# aaronpk is it supposed to be https://push.superfeedr.com/ ?

# tantek !tell grantcodes https://indieweb.org/User:Grant.codes/post-type-markup-experiment is very cool. Are you interested in feedback / suggested improvements?
# Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# [kevinmarks] Node and Go have post html5 default parsers, which is helpful. PHP, python, Ruby and java all have various sgml/xml based things that need care.
# [kevinmarks] I need to make that "I <? PHP" t-shirt again
# tantek speaking of PHP funtimes
# tantek I'm about done with the complexity of emoji detection in PHP
# tantek so here is my heuristic for detecting a likely short (one character-ish) emoji string in my reply-to content:
# tantek function is_short_emoji($s)
{ return ord($s)>225 && strlen($s)<26; }# tantek use-case, compact reply-contexts for reacji posts (especially in-stream)
# sknebel [kevinmarks]: don't think it's fair to say node is better than python just because python has a bad one in the stdlib instead of none at all like node
# aaronpk I don't think the difficulty of emoji detection is limited to php
# [kevinmarks] Is strlen bytes?
# aaronpk I believe so yes
# aaronpk mb_strlen is the one that's aware of multibyte chars
# [kevinmarks] Does that work on Welsh and Scottish flags?
# tantek using mb_strlen didn't make any difference
# tantek still reporting length in bytes
# [kevinmarks] I can see that, sknebel as you could pick a bad lib, but python has 3 legacy ones built in that lead you astray.
# tantek [kevinmarks] have you seen any flag reacji in the wild, anywhere? much less those flags?
# sebsel Facebook had a rainbow-flag last summer
# Loqi sebsel: tantek left you a message 1 hour, 54 minutes ago: thanks for the link https://seblog.nl/2017/02/20/4/day-36-reacji - I'm having difficulty understanding what the screenshot is about though - is it a screenshot of your home page/stream? or is it how you show reacji from other to your posts?
# tantek sebsel: last two summers for Pride. and documented: https://indieweb.org/reacji#Facebook
# sebsel Oh, yes, that might not be clear. It's a screenshot from my feed, the upper post is a reacji.

# sebsel But... I'm the Sebastiaan Andeweg on there. Right under you
# tantek oh wait you're there, you just need a more prominent section
# sebsel There is something weird with the sub-heading.

# cweiske There should be no issues with the indiechat search site anymore; I've just upgraded from 8 to 32 GiB of RAM on the server.

# cweiske I had feared that I'd need to move everything onto a new server, which is a labour-intensive process taking days
# cweiske but it actually was only a config upgrade that took .. 30 seconds
# cweiske now we pay 40 instead of 30€/month, but since I share the server with 2 friends it's only 3€ per person extra

# tantek cweiske++ for running/hosting indie chat search.
# Loqi cweiske has 35 karma in this channel (139 overall)
# tantek if you can estimate an annual cost that you think is the % use of that hosting fee for the search, maybe we can apply some opencollective funds to help pay for it
# tantek IMO it's definitely a very valuable service to the community that is worth at least helping to cover the hosting costs for
# tantek though perhaps that's more #indieweb-meta
# tantek grantcodes: great! here's a few quick ones - all presentational off the top of my head
# tantek s/MF2 HTML Markup/HTML+mf2
# tantek s/Rendered HTML/Rendered
# tantek s/MF2 JSON/mf2 JSON
# tantek those are all in the tab names
# tantek we don't need to say "Markup" in the tabs because the heading is already "How to markup"
# tantek another thought is:
# tantek s/MF2 JSON/Parsed
# tantek oh and
# tantek s/JF2 JSON/JF2
# tantek because JF2 already implies JSON
# tantek unless part of the goal is to appeal to JSON API trendiness
# tantek in which case:
# tantek s/MF2 JSON/JSON

# Loqi [dshanske] #3 Add docs
# schmarty I would!
# schmarty I’m traveling at the moment but I can tell you that it does the simplest possible thing. A form encoded POST with audio, photo, name, description, tags. The metadata from the mp3 comes in as id3-title, id3-duration, etc
# schmarty I’ll get that written up though
# GWG Should it be id3-title?
# schmarty No media endpoint support, for example. No JSON posts.
