tantek__ seeing if I can hack u-tag-of support as an add-on to my commenting on Github support
#
tantek__ and it looks like it is working
#
tantek__ now to try to label a GH issue
#
tantek__ oh dear labels with spaces
#
tantek__ those don't make very good hashtags
#
tantek__ oh no now I'm wondering about /edit posts for editing labels themselves on a repo
#
tantek__ well I've got u-tag-of coded, and working with a *past* post (already POSSEd with Bridgy so it won't redo it)
#
tantek__ so now I just have to find another issue I want to add a label to (a label without spaces)
#
tantek__ or somehow figure out how to post hashtags/categories with spaces in them
#
tantek__ might have to do that anyway since GitHub Labels do allow spaces, and presumably I may want to add labels to a repo some day that I don't have permissions to "fix" the labels to not have spaces

#
tantek__ whoa really
#
tantek__ what is an area tag
#
Loqi An area-tag is a special kind of tag that tags a specific area or region of a post which can be used to tag a photo post with person-tags at specific locations/areas where each person appears in the photo https://indieweb.org/area-tag
#
tantek__ !tell jgarber check out https://indieweb.org/area-tag also!

#
[jgarber] tantk__: Yep! Been reading through area-tags.
#
Loqi [jgarber]: tantek__ left you a message 4 minutes ago: check out https://indieweb.org/area-tag also!
#
[jgarber] tantek__: Yep! Been reading through area-tags.
#
[jgarber] Posted up a few thoughts based on a quick read of the media fragment spec => https://indieweb.org/media_fragment#Spatial_for_area_tags
#
tantek__ jgarber, I made some progress with area tags but then got stuck a while ago
#
tantek__ so I switched to "just" doing /person-tag
#
tantek__ without the area bit
#
tantek__ I'm not fully convinced of the media fragment spatial stuff - like not sure if anyone even bothers implementing it
#
sixtwothree.org edited /media_fragment (+168) "/* Spatial for area tags */ Update explanation of how "my" website would display a UI" (view diff)
#
[jgarber] tantek__ Oh yeah, agreed. It’s a pretty esoteric syntax and… a rather clever way of implying that a media element should be cropped.
#
[jgarber] …seems optimistic that anyone would create the code necessary to do that on the fly.
#
[jgarber] Temporal linking is muuuuuuch easier by comparison.
#
tantek__ right
#
[jgarber] _but_ … spatial media fragments may make a bit of sense in the context of area tagging a photo. Which is kinda maybe cool.
#
tantek__ it's at least a real feature you can do in Flickr
#
[jgarber] Yep!
#
tantek__ that is, Flickr supports user-adjustable rectangles
#
tantek__ whereas FB only allows specifying a *point* as the spatial tag
#
tantek__ and they do a weird auto-square around it
#
[jgarber] So in my head, you’d send my website’s photo permalink a webmention of the form `https://sixtwothree.org/photos/1#xywh=100,100,200,200` from your tag page and I’d sort out how to display whatever you’ve tagged from your website.

#
tantek__ yeah I was going to try experimenting with such person-tag reply posts
#
tantek__ to tag people in other people's photos
#
[jgarber] That’d be great!
#
tantek__ indieweb to indieweb - but I only got so far with doing person-tags just in my own photo posts
#
tantek__ examples on the /person-tag page
#
tantek__ definitely interested in hacking on this at some point
#
[jgarber] I’d have to refactor some ancient code, but… https://sixtwothree.org/photos/255

#
[jgarber] def. a few people in that photo
#
tantek__ right. I'd probably start by trying to tag people in a HWC photo or IWC/IWS photo :)
#
tantek__ I think aaronpk posted a bunch, and POSSEd to Flickr too
#
[jgarber] Two and a half years ago, good grief… https://sixtwothree.org/photos/25
#
tantek__ which would then give us a good example to both person-area-tag and then POSSE such replies to Flickr too to propagate the person-area-tag to the Flickr copy of the photo

#
GWG That isn't what that did
#
GWG It was a parameter we didn't need anymore.
#
dougbeal GWG: ah, didn't read it carefully enough
snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG aaronpk: About not using the me parameter...
#
dougbeal schmarty: oh, The authorization server returned an invalid state parameter
#
dougbeal hurm
#
GWG I'm trying to solve the unauthorized problem. Right now, my tokens, when verified, return with the WordPress user ID of authenticating user. Is there a danger in using that, as the transactions all happen internally?
#
dougbeal schmarty: kind of looks like secret has unencoded spaces, and they get returned encoded
#
dougbeal schmarty: though mabye the logging is just pre-encoding?
#
dougbeal Is there anything in the spec about state?
#
dougbeal I guess its a url, so should be enocoded
#
aaronpk GWG: you can track the user associated with a token internally however you want, that's an implementation decision not something the spec cares about
#
GWG aaronpk: That's what I thought. But doing that would eliminate 99% of the issues in mapping URL to username.
#
GWG So, I think I will do it
#
aaronpk Oh jeez then yes do it
#
aaronpk As long as you can return the "me" url for verifying tokens then you're fine
#
GWG aaronpk: I'm hoping that might put the 401 Unauthorized issue to bed.
#
GWG It still does. It's just an extra parameter in the returned token

#
skippy how do IndieWeb pioneers envision the distribution of reposts in a non-siloed world? If I retweet something, it's because I want my followers to see something I dont think they'll see. Do IndieWeb folks distribute their reposts in their RSS feeds? (I dont, which is why I ask)
[jgarber] joined the channel
#
[jgarber] [schmarty]’s RSS/Atom feed includes all kinds of activity, including (if I recall correctly) reposts, likes, etc.
#
[jgarber] What I’ve observed, though, is that the content of a feed item might be simply a heart (for a like) or in some cases an empty body. In order to see what he’s liked or shared, I click through to the page on his website.
#
[jgarber] Feed URL from `https://martymcgui.re` => `https://granary.io/url?input=html&output=atom&url=https://martymcgui.re/posts/&hub=https://martymcguire.superfeedr.com/`
#
skippy that seems a sub-optimal user experience.
#
dougbeal I repost something because I want to find it on my site
#
dougbeal Though thinking about it, a bookmark and archive.org save would work as well
#
skippy I don't "like" stuff on social media, for a variety of reasons. I do repost, though. Obviously everyone has different motivations for how and why they do what they do; and that's a good thing.
#
sknebel yeah, a repost IMHO implies the "broadcast to my followers", whereas a bookmark doesn't necessarily
#
skippy i'm just trying to figure out what distribution of content would look like in a non-silo world.
#
[jgarber] Not at all casting blame, aspersions, etc. but speaking only for myself, agreed: it’d be a nicer user experience to include (as a `<blockquote>` or what have you) some of the original, shared post.
#
sknebel alternatively, that's a job for the consuming application (=reader), which of course is an issue with non-indie-readers
#
skippy i would love my reader to fetch threads for me, so i dont have to click a source Tweet to see it all. but that's also arguably not a good use of developer time and energy given other things a reader needs to do.
#
sknebel true, thats especially an issue for reposts from silos
#
sknebel although something in the system has to do the work
#
skippy aye. i was just wondering how a truly distributed (indie)web would present reposts for broader consumption. deduplication becomes a more importabt issue, too... If all the people i follow repost the same thing, I'll get bombarded with it. :(
#
aaronpk skippy: my home page feed includes reposts, and I include the entire content of the post along with the author
#
aaronpk that provides good fallback behavior for consumers that don't understand the repost-of property, since it will look like a regular post
#
aaronpk and for consumers that do understand repost-of, they can use that to dedupe/group reposts
#
skippy nice.
#
schmarty I should take a look at what aaronpk does. My site displays a summary of what I repost, marked up as an h-cite, but not even indie readers are showing those previews.
#
Loqi it is probable
#
[jgarber] wut are u doing loqi
#
dougbeal schmarty: it looks like 🕸💍 is comparing a non url encoded secret vs the url encoded version
#
aaronpk more likely wordpress is returning an improperly encoded version
#
schmarty dougbeal interesting. The state it passes is a generated nonce so I should be able to generate something without URL-questionable characters.
#
schmarty dougbeal: but you might want to run it by GWG in case the WP indieauth plug-in is doing unexpected encoding
#
aaronpk technically % is allowed in the state parameter, but it's probably safer to use only a-Z0-9
#
aaronpk it does sound like the wordpress plugin is doing something wrong
#
aaronpk oh sorry it's actually trying to use the = char
#
aaronpk looks like wordpress is dropping that %3D when it returns

#
dougbeal also looks like spaces are converted to +
#
dougbeal aaronpk: wp indieauth shouldn't alter state at all?
#
aaronpk correct

dougbeal looks like it should be a new issue

#
[kevinmarks] ops advice question: I need to rsync .pem files between machines to make letsencrypt work with shared hosts (I am going to need to script dns challenges and then copy them to the right places). What's the safest way to do this? A special user just for that cron to rsync as?
#
aaronpk there should be a way to avoid copying those around in the first place
#
snarfed [kevinmarks]: how long does it take? only every 3 months...consider just doing it manually for a while? https://xkcd.com/1319/ and https://xkcd.com/1205/ and all
#
Loqi [XKCD] Automation https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/automation_2x.png
#
aaronpk that approach paid off for me for dealing with XRay's certificate on appengine... eventually appengine built in letsencrypt support with a checkbox themselves
KartikPrabhu and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] I am happier keeping the certs on the apache machines rather than the load balancer, so I want to copy them; renewing by DNS challenge is fiddly enough that automating it makes sense; it's the cert copying that I'd like to work out easily.
#
aaronpk why can't you issue the certs from the individual machines then?
#
[kevinmarks] I was doing one cert for all 3, with the different domains in.
#
aaronpk that seems unnecessary
#
[kevinmarks] well, 2 are serving the same subdomains, so need the same cert either way
#
[kevinmarks] not sure how that is supposed to work
#
sknebel need certs for the same domains, not the same cert
#
aaronpk right
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] schmarty: “No even indie readers are showing those previews”, that’s not your fault, it’s the readers fault. If you are marking your post up with h-cite I believe we just need to finish rendering it properly
#
[eddie] although RSS can still be an issue
#
sknebel nothing stopping you having each one request its own certificate
#
[kevinmarks] hm. And have each one do the dns challenge independently?
#
sknebel yes
#
sknebel but scp should work too. restricted user, maybe a sudo-command to move the files to the final destination
#
[kevinmarks] ah, so make a sudoer user on each and scp as that?
#
sknebel in sudo you can whitelist specific commands, so you could allow them to run just the copy script as a more privileged user
#
[kevinmarks] but I still end up having to have a pw as the remote user somewhere my cron can see it don't I?
#
aaronpk no the sudoers file can allow it to run a specific command with no password
#
[kevinmarks] so I make a user called 'copycat' and set sudoers so it can run scp? That seems a bit tricky
#
aaronpk yes that's why I was suggesting not going down this road in the first place ;-)
#
skippy what user owns the certs right now?
[manton] joined the channel
#
sknebel I wouldn't scp as root, but scp as a unprivileged user and then trigger a script (which also could be a often-running cronjob, or a systemd filesystem watcher I guess) which moves the cert to a privileged location
#
[kevinmarks] root owns them now

skippy how does one use the Twitter API to create a "retweet with comment"?
#
skippy https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-retweet-id doesnt accept any content beyond the Tweet ID to retweet

[kevinmarks] i think you just post a tweet ending in the tweet url

#
schmarty is having a great time making all these mistakes in public, haha

gRegorLove Maybe because I started from https://steady-sundial.glitch.me/ instead of the emoji URL

KartikPrabhu would be good to consider accesibility issues when using all these ancy emoji stuffs
#
aaronpk hahaha ended up back on my site after clicking a few links in the webring
#
Loqi awesome
#
aaronpk wow there's quite a few sites in this
#
schmarty gRegorLove: dropped. if you refresh the dashboard you'll get your new two-emoji slug back.
#
schmarty aaronpk: i still need to de-randomize the next/prev to make a real ring.
#
schmarty there are about 3 dozen sites in right now
#
aaronpk schmarty: feature request: a "check links" where I can put in someone else's URL
#
aaronpk like a snitch ring
#
gRegorLove haha
#
aaronpk so that when I end up at a dead end I can fix the ring
#
schmarty aaronpk: hahahaha i might flag a few ring gardeners who can do that
#
aaronpk I think it'd be fine if it was public!
#
aaronpk it would still do the check of course
#
schmarty i kind of don't want just anybody using the site to bang on people's URLs
#
aaronpk I guess. maybe if you're logged in?
#
schmarty yeah maybe if you're in the ring you are good to snitch, hahaha
