snarfed among the more exotic bridgy bug reports i've gotten in a while: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/829
#
Loqi [chrisjonesio] #829 No webmention support error
#
snarfed ...because his site returns a variable amount of binary data to HTTP requests from app engine (with Content-Type: text/html), but normal HTML from elsewhere
#
aaronpk sounds like gzip?

aaronpk oh, not gzip

#
jgmac1106 what is the difference between (e-content content) and (just e-content)? messed up my course template and made each section itsown h-entry on the page
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "difference between (e-content content) and (just e-content)" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "difference between (e-content content) and (just e-content) is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk nothing, "content" is not an mf2 property
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
jgmac1106 thx
#
GWG I use content for styling
#
GWG Because you shouldn't style e-content
#
jgmac1106 [gwg] just hearing that helps. I was afraid to ask if I would need to do .e-content .content in a style sheet if I wanted to style
#
GWG Never style a microformat
#
jgmac1106 I knew that always used an extra div because I feared the cascade
#
GWG It's a bad practice
#
jgmac1106 Recognizing mf2 as not css is a hard mental block

[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] Just interacted with a recommendation on Facebook and thought how amazing this would be for the IndieWeb, and I started thinking about how readers could make that a really awesome experience
#
[eddie] I think the most challenging thing is how you define the “recommendation request”. On Facebook it has you select a predefined “placename” which in the backend it contains the geo-coordinates. But I think for cross-site requests you would have to provide a lat/lng and radius length? Of course the Micropub client that generates a recommendation request could generate that automatically based on its own databases

Ruxton soo I know this is a conversation that was going on, but bridgy backfeed is pretty much useless for FB and Insta since the FB api changes :(
#
Ruxton Based on what I've seen and read, there wont be a solution anytime soon either

GWG Hello, Ruxton
tantek_ joined the channel
#
tantek_ [eddie] can you capture screenshots of the recommendation interactions you had on Facebook, on the /recommendation page?
#
Ruxton waves
#
tantek_ waves
#
[eddie] tantek_ I can. I took screenshots but I didn’t know if we wanted two Facebook screenshots on there since grantcodes already added some to it
#
[eddie] But if you think they would be beneficial (it was the iOS app), I can add mine
#
tantek_ definitely mobile (app or web) vs desktop is worth capturing

tantek_ also grantcodes was from about a year ago

[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] [eddie] yeah I remember thinking that is a really cool feature but seems like a very difficult thing to do in a decentralized way without a common ui
#
jgmac1106 Hey I published my Promotion and Tenure file there <black> pot<—kettle</black> because iI was pissed it was still a binder and I douldn’t use my website
#
[eddie] grantcodes: I might not have thought it through as far as you but I don’t feel like the lack of common UI is that big of a deal.
#
[eddie] I figure, person A uses their Micropub app to create a recommendation request. It could use any interface, but essentially it would need to at a minimum output a p-name and lat/lng and some way to define a radius from the lat/lng.
#
[eddie] The Micropub app of the user’s choice would decide how to decide the radius and the lat/lng
#
[eddie] And I actually wonder if a geo uri could be used where the uncertainty defines the radius? I’m not super familiar with geo uri so I would need to investigate more
#
[eddie] So person A’s Micropub app posts a post to their site that has a future defined mf2 property that contains either a url or an embedded h-entry that would contain the p-name and geo uri location.
#
[eddie] Person B is using a reader of their choice that detects the post as a recommendation request and adds a “add recommendation” button. Different readers could handle this differently. Indigenous could have a built in Recommendation UI whereas Monocle could forward the user to Quill with the reply url set to the post url, allowing Quill to detect that the user is trying to reply to a recommendation request (when Quill fetched the content of the
#
[eddie] So it feels like the original geographic determination is the biggest hurdle
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[eddie] “The 'u' ("uncertainty") parameter indicates the amount of uncertainty in the location as a value in meters”
#
[eddie] while the geo uri’s uncertainty isn’t 100% the same intention as a search radius, I do feel like their overlap into an acceptable purpose. The Foursquare Venue search api needs a lat/lng and a radius that is measured in meters (the same number represented by the geo uri’s uncertainty)
[eddie], leg, [snarfed], cweiske, snarfed, loicm_ and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] That reminds me http://microformats.org/wiki/geo-brainstorming#radius.2Fzoom
#
[kevinmarks] Can you use an h-card as the recommendation target? Naturally, people will ask "can you recommend a restaurant for a celebratory meal in San Francisco?" or "a sushi restaurant in Middlesbrough" rather than a geopoint and radius.
#
[kevinmarks] A radius is an approximation to what is really being asked, which is somewhere easy to get to - an isochrone.

#
jgmac1106 !tell [swentel] What would be the easiest way to check if my insall of drupal comes pre loaded with composer? I am seeing a composer folder in the directory
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Zegnat jgmac1106, if you have shell access, write `composer --version` and see if that works? Else look if there is a composer.phar file somewhere, then you can execute that one instead (e.g. `php path/to/composer.phar --version`).
#
Zegnat composer is a CLI tool that will go out and get you dependencies that you need. Unless your hosting somehow triggers it automatically for All The Things you will need to run it manually to grab the IndieWeb module’s dependencies.
#
Zegnat You can also do this locally on your own machine, and then just FTP all the files to your hosting at once.
#
Zegnat Generally composer will create a folder called “vendor” where it puts all the dependencies it has pulled in.
#
jgmac1106 okay from installatron I have a vendor folder, composer.json, composer.lock, butno composer.phar so I think I need to add it. Just seeing the vendor folder made me wonder if it came preisntalled with 8.5.3
#
jgmac1106 there is a composer folder in my vendor folder
#
jgmac1106 Based on the change log in my composer folder it is this: https://github.com/composer/installers
#
jgmac1106 that seems to be my universal installer not the drupal composer. thx for thinking it through with me
#
jgmac1106 except when I read this https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project it says composer uses composers.json so I do have it
#
jgmac1106 firing up local copy and see what happens
#
jgmac1106 [zegnat] might be able to just fork this and add the mf2 to template.html

[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
jgmac1106 Only APA but forget MLA, those humanities folks should get a real job
#
[kevinmarks] Latitude and longitude are not very usable. You can turn them into a map, but then you do need a zoom factor/radius too. When asking for recommendations, you usually have a travel time metric in mind rather than a crow flies distance.
#
[kevinmarks] So "where should we eat after HWC SF at Mozilla?" is not a radius query (as half the circle is in the bay) but a complicated question about time, distance and busyness.
#
jgmac1106 [kevinmarks] if an hreview had a location could this be used as a filter request where someone selects <10 miles of their location?
#
[kevinmarks] One of the key variables is "is there a baseball game on at at&t Park?" which means that a whole swath of choices are less attractive as loud baseball fans will crowd you out and make it hard to hear each other.
#
jgmac1106 I remember erin doing something cool with this exact situation on her Known blog a few years back
#
[kevinmarks] 10 miles is not useful - travel time (and mode of transport) matters.
#
jgmac1106 my situation is I live in a town with three restaruants that all suck, no engine will help me, I picked a random number
#
jgmac1106 it was either Ben or Erin Jo but now that I think about it I am prettysure it just used iftt to warn of a game and not go eat lunch there, couldn’t find it on stream.withknown.com I think it was on Erin Jo’s blog but this is a few years back
#
jgmac1106 the correct answer is, “Get a cheap tix and an expensive hot dog. It’s baseball weather"
#
[kevinmarks] Yes, it was one of Ben's demos for his voice assistant
#
jgmac1106 One of the situations where “Hey Google” will always work better? Maybe think about a way to POSSE h-review to google maps?
#
[kevinmarks] Right, I live in a village/suburb with 2 barely adequate takeaway shops and a lot of good food places within a 30 minute drive. If I go south this means country pubs, North it means city eateries. I'm happier driving much further south because countryside is pretty and less congested, so going into town has a higher barrier
#
jgmac1106 probably can’t happen for 1,000s of reason…and in your example that has nothing to do with anythign hut personal preference
#
[kevinmarks] Foursquare tends to recommend the town options, not the country ones.
#
jgmac1106 foursquare doesn’t use location history?
#
jgmac1106 this is where scary Google is cool google. It knows my travel routes, food preferences, just need the location tracker to learn to lie to my wife when I am at the pub. Then it will be awesome
#
[kevinmarks] Both have sparse datasets here - I am trying hard to add the good places to both, but many foursquare venues don't hit the # of reviews threshold for recommendations.
#
[kevinmarks] More students in town using swarm/foursquare mean random fast food places show up and great country pubs don't
#
petermolnar anyone knows how to make nginx do try_files or redirect 302 properly, including /?
#
petermolnar or 301
#
sknebel what do you mean ?
#
petermolnar my petermolnar.eu is currenctly 302 redirecting everything to petermolnar.net by return 302 []. I need to be able to serve some static files and redirect everything else, but I think I'm approaching with the wrong idea; let me try one more thing before asking more questions :)
#
petermolnar solved; instead of return, it had to be a mere rewrite with redirect flag and the try_files had to be trimmed; sorry for the noise
#
sknebel rubber-ducking isn't noise :)

GWG I had this idea to use site icon as the Avatar image if no avatar could be found.

GWG snarfed, that's someone else
#
snarfed GWG: sounds like that issue is more about anonymizing data, not handling source different than u-url
#
snarfed and i agree with you, seems to apply to all wms, not bridgy in particular
#
snarfed eg if a site links to you, but it doesn't send a wm, someone else can still send a wm, and that site's author etc will end up in your responses. if they don't want to, due to GDPR or whatever, the concern still applies.
#
snarfed (i'll add to issue)
#
tantek IANAL but not sure, in that technically as the receiver, you are caching the webmention info
#
tantek and the sender can always "request deletion" by deleting per http 410 and resending a webmention
#
tantek so the protcol handles "right to delete"
#
GWG I am finding it hard because I want to do the right thing even though I am not onboard with all of it
#
jgmac1106 gwg then keep it the way you want and let people fork the repo
#
jgmac1106 if they want it set up differently they can do it
#
GWG I care enough to be willing to add settings

[cleverdevil] [aaronpk] question for you re: Overland/Compass... the data that is passed in the API, is the array of locations ordered by timestamp? If so, is it in ascending or descending order?
#
aaronpk it is, and I believe it's ascending
#
aaronpk oldest first
#
[cleverdevil] Got it. Is the idea that the very last item in the list should be considered the "current" location unless the "current" is explicitly provided in the payload?
#
aaronpk no, if there is no "current" in the payload then that batch is historical
#
[cleverdevil] Ah.
#
[cleverdevil] So, if I were to create something that just tracked current location, I would ignore anything that didn't include a "current" property?
#
aaronpk oh wait, no I have that backwards
#
aaronpk checks the source code
#
[cleverdevil] https://github.com/aaronpk/Overland-iOS#current-location
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Overland-iOS/blob/master/GPSLogger/GLManager.m#L157
#
[cleverdevil] This seems to indicate that its only provided if the batch size is exceeded.
#
[cleverdevil] Got it.
#
aaronpk yeah that's right. it's only there if the current batch is old
#
[cleverdevil] Hmm... so, if the payload will exceed the batch size, are multiple batches sent?
#
aaronpk yeah you can quite often get into a situation where several POSTs are sent in quick succession
#
[cleverdevil] So, the "current" is to disambiguate, I am guessing?
#
aaronpk I added "current" because when I land from a long plane flight it takes a while to get all the data from the app to the server, but I often need my server to know where I am right now
#
[cleverdevil] I see.
#
[cleverdevil] So, I could theoretically just wait until the last batch comes in (since I presume they'll be sent sequentially).
#
aaronpk yeah you can ignore "current" completely if you want
#
aaronpk it was an optimization because otherwise I'd land, it starts flushing data, I post a coffee or something and it shows that I drank it over the middle of the ocean.
#
[cleverdevil] I am going to make another serverless service I think, this time for Overland.
#
[cleverdevil] It'll be a fun exercise.
#
[cleverdevil] Storing all of the data in S3.
#
[cleverdevil] One more question... does token always show up in the payload?
#
[cleverdevil] If so, why do you bother also requiring it as a parameter in the POST to /api/input?
#
aaronpk Overland doesn't send the token in the post body
#
aaronpk it doesn't actually know anything about tokens
#
[cleverdevil] Gotcha.
#
[cleverdevil] That would be why then 🙂
#
aaronpk so if you include a token in the URL, it just treats it as part of the URL but doesn't know that it's a token
#
aaronpk I made Compass accept either
