# 06:45 Zegnat So ... are we just building Mastodon AP bridges now by carefully copying JSON bodies from swentel’s bridgy fed issues? This really doesn’t sound like a stable API in any way, hahaha

# 11:25 jgmac1106 already has native webmentions, an WP importer, have to write the templates but that is awsoem as we can ensure the correct markup for post types and use sme experimental post types
# 11:26 jgmac1106 I am considering that for my WordPress exit strategy…or throwing up a few static pages and using Known as my social stream
# 11:28 petermolnar SQLite would be ok, but PHP doesn't play nice with SQLite for obvious reasons of how it works
# 11:34 petermolnar so far the only two reasonable choices seem to be jekyll with jekyll admin, which I still haven't tried, or grav, which is flat

# 11:35 petermolnar hugo is weird; in theory, it would be fine with netlify or something similar, but hugo is near impossible to extend, if needed
# 11:36 petermolnar templates are, yes, media handling, such as please don't remove iptc, exif, and xml from JPG is not
# 11:38 petermolnar the main problem is the lack of gui for all the static generators, one that could facilitate the whole flow of editing, preview, publish
# 11:39 petermolnar the edit with notepad in markdown then commit to git is not an option :D
# 11:40 Loqi [voxpelli] webpage-micropub-to-github: Self-hosteable Micropub endpoint that publishes to Jekyll by committing to GitHub
# 11:42 petermolnar the main problem is, these are not blogs; these are, in essence, oldschool static site for a service/small company/etc, or photographer portfolios
# 11:42 petermolnar so most static generators, which are heavily blog oriented, fall out of the question
# 11:43 petermolnar hell no, I'm just going to stick with wordpress and it's flexibility that comes at a massive performance cost
# 11:44 jeremycherfas For what it is worth, I really like Grav. And for someone like you, petermolnar it would probably be even better than it is for me.
# 11:44 [kevinmarks] it does feel like an indieweb approach would work there; it was one of the things Known was looking at before the education focus
# 11:47 petermolnar jeremycherfas: before moving off WP, I took a deep look in grav; at that time, it used a weird thumbnail generator, which was GD only and thus stripped every metadata, including EXIF
# 11:52 Zegnat petermolnar what is the problem with PHP and Swlite?

# 12:22 jacky petermolnar: can you point me to a good Wordpress importing tool?
# 12:22 jacky more accurately, a solution that includes a good wordpress importing process
# 12:23 jeremycherfas When Octopress (a front-end for Jekyll) was alive and well it had a rather good WP import. But I have seen nothing of it for a long time.
# 12:27 petermolnar Zegnat: php vs sqlite: because php is, in essence, one thread per call, there can be severe locking race conditions on sqlite write
# 12:28 petermolnar one of the reasons why the wordpress sqlite plugin was a disaster
# 12:29 Zegnat But surely, on a static-ish site, most of the time you are dealing with reading only?
# 12:30 jacky if you use GitHub pages, this'll play nicely
[tantek] and [dougbeal] joined the channel
# 12:41 petermolnar Zegnat: the trouble comes when things like WP have overlapping commits to SQlite; to be honest, I've only experienced this, not just with wp, but with ordinary php applications as well. The trouble is the write.
# 12:43 Zegnat I haven’t really had issues with those writes. But I have mostly only worked with single writes on e.g. page update and those have very little conflict from other places
# 12:55 sknebel Even the dedicated web gallery software all feels off

# 13:34 Loqi [Peter Molnar] GPS tracking without a server
# 13:38 GWG petermolnar: Did you look at GPS Logger, it can do what you want...send a file.
# 13:41 GWG But, I'm thinking of switching to it from what I'm using because it can do custom http calls.
# 13:43 GWG Zegnat: , authdiag is now bundled in the indieauth wordpress plugin
# 13:43 Zegnat I saw the merge go through in my email, GWG :) You know where to find me if something about it breaks, hahaha
# 13:44 GWG It's outside WP, which isimportasnt
# 13:52 petermolnar apparently it happens when you're using network/passive/etc location sources
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
# 13:52 GWG petermolnar: How does it calculate it?
# 13:53 petermolnar GWG in theory it's the same triangulation method as the location itself
# 13:54 GWG Is there a reference page for that API?
# 13:55 [kevinmarks] Depends how many satellites you have, also most phones give you a mix of GPS, mobile and WiFi
# 13:55 GWG Or other resources to calculate it?
# 13:57 GWG petermolnar: Exactly what I needed

# 15:46 Zegnat It. It looks like I just broke my weight graph. Good thing I did that *after* showing it off
jackjamieson joined the channel
# 15:55 jgmac1106 [zegnat] you interested in the activitypub session with the APIs you were working on?
# 15:55 Zegnat The Mastodon API I am targetting isn’t AP at all, so not relevant there, jgmac1106

# 16:08 GWG Zegnat: , congratulations on your weight loss
# 16:09 Zegnat Haha, thanks GWG! I am in the process of updating the graph. Sadly the downwardstrend has stopped.

# 16:45 Zegnat This is the right channel. I personally am not using fed.brid.gy, but there might be some people here who do
# 16:45 Zegnat Definitely put the answers here, no such thing as a potentially dumb one
# 16:46 Zegnat Well. You are touching the federated world, so that is quite possible ;)
