[jgmac1106] !tell mblaney why isn't indiepay.me picking up the h-card on https://jgregorymcverry.com/badges ?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

mblaney hi [jgmac1106]
#
Loqi mblaney: [jgmac1106] left you a message 7 minutes ago: why isn't indiepay.me picking up the h-card on https://jgregorymcverry.com/badges ?
#
mblaney I'll take a look
#
mblaney [jgmac1106] indiepay.me is trying to match the provided url to an h-card, and it doesn't find "https://jgregorymcverry.com/badges" as a url on that page.

mblaney I'm assuming you've typed that into the search box when you've logged in to indiepay.me? If you're trying to do something else, let me know.

#
[jgmac1106] ahh I would need to add a rel=me link on that page in the h-card
#
[jgmac1106] i shouldn't be doing what I was doing anyway....but wanted to see it as a micropub ledger...very close to a badge issuing platform
#
mblaney It would still reject it with rel=me, it only wants a canonical h-card.

kisik21 when I set visibility, is it available in micropub JSON as .properties.visibility or as .visibility?
[matpacker] and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] what is visibility?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "visibility" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "visibility is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[tantek] and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] Hmmm I’m thinking about pros/cons of some various languages for a project. From what I can tell there isn’t any way to statically type PHP, and there aren’t really any popular languages that are statically typed and compile down to PHP? Does that sound accurate?
#
[eddie] Also, for routine code running it seems like PHP has to either be tied to a cronjob or cheat using a hack by running code after returning html to the user. Neither of which seems particular good or user friendly?
#
[tantek] I was considering the latter myself
#
[eddie] You mean the ping code to run after delivering html to the client?
#
[eddie] Or just routine code running in general?
#
[eddie] Ohhhh that is how Wordpress does it. They check their Cron items whenever a user hits the site
iasai joined the channel
#
[eddie] I guess if it’s good enough for Wordpress? 🤷‍♂️
#
[tantek] wow didn't even know that. nice
#
[tantek] yes, running a bit of background task after delivering HTML to the client
#
jacky some talks that dansup shared re: scaling and social media https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Real-Time-Delivery-Twitter + https://www.infoq.com/presentations/scaling-instagram
#
jacky might be handy if micro.blog goes huge
#
[eddie] tantek: yep, looks like the wp_cron is actually “fake cron” meaning it runs after delivering html and checks to see if any of the schedules tasks need to run
#
[tantek] that's amazing. a scheduler built into the renderer.
#
[tantek] quite clever
#
[eddie] Yeah
[benatwork] joined the channel
#
[eddie] Hmmm seems like a lot of PHP frameworks aren’t very compatible with shared hosting 🤔 so far I’ve looked at Laravel and Symfony. Which is saddening because if I used PHP it would be because it can be installed in places easier than Node.js and Swift, but it seems like if I use a modern framework, it’s not that easy. So now I’m confused haha
#
[eddie] Time to go to bed and think about it more later.
#
jacky [eddie]: it depends on the hosting choice you'd want
#
jacky Heroku would cost you a bit
#
jacky maybe NearlyFreeSpeech
#
kisik21 aaronpk: am i right that bridgy-fed will use a custom name if I have <a href="acct:vika@fireburn.ru"></a> in my h-card?
#
kisik21 is this markup correct?
iasai and [matpacker] joined the channel
#
mblaney eddie I'm happy to welcome you to my land of dependency-free PHP development.... it's a lonely place! :-D lol
#
kisik21 Did you know that logging in on my site has roughly 1/4 chance to succeed?
#
kisik21 I have 4 workers, and each of them is NOT sharing the transient state that I need to keep track of users login flow. Once you logged in, you are logged in. But if you're in the middle and you hit the wrong worker, you're screwed.
#
Ruxton stick your workers with session vars then
#
kisik21 An interesting case of russian roulette (it's funny because I'm russian myself)
#
kisik21 can I make uwsgi somehow share a variable between several workers running Python code?
#
Ruxton sounds like your app sessions are stored in memory rather than a db?
#
kisik21 auth codes for indielogin module (I call it like this because it does what indielogin.com does) are indeed stored in memory (I don't need them for more than a minute!)
#
kisik21 Ruxton: should they be stored in a file maybe?
#
Ruxton you need to be able to identify new connections as authenticated people across all the workers, you can do that without some kind of reference id.
#
Ruxton usually this would be a sessionID, stored in file/db on the server and in cookie on the client. Client sends sessoinID in cookie, server grabs it, checks against db/file
#
kisik21 I guess I could do that with /run directory - it is stored in memory anyway, so less disk IO, more persistence!
#
kisik21 Ruxton: it's not a sessionID, it's a transient code in indieauth client flow. The cookie is an encrypted token that cannot be modified without me noticing, so once you're logged in, your session is stateless!
#
kisik21 That's something I'm a bit proud of

[Vincent] I’m 2/3rds of the way through writing my media endpoint. It’s been easier than i thought (especially for a coding n00b like me). Ironically the hardest part is deciding where the uploaded image lives, file path, naming etc. Rather than the code to do it
#
aaronpk haha yep
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] Node on Heroku is often cheaper to run than php or Ruby. If you want static types Go is probably your best choice - appengine runs it well, and you can install it as a binary on hosting.

#
[eddie] Currently a content warning has p-name on it, and the hidden content is in e-content so it presents similar to an article
#
sknebel where?
#
aaronpk I was following mastodon feeds in monocle for a while and saw that
#
aaronpk I switched to following via activitypub and haven't written actual CW support into monocle yet so I just see the post contents with no CW tag
#
sknebel it's p-summary, not p-name, at least in the current code: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/d723f2a0a88d4ac106638733b7ba17f8d205850a/app/views/stream_entries/_simple_status.html.haml#L25

jacky kisik21: regarding `p-content-warning`; I think we can leverage `p-category` for that versus re-making a whole new property
#
jacky I'm not sure the stance on adding new properties
#
jacky AFAIK, content warnings in the Mastodon space are like "subjects"
#
aaronpk There is a very specific process for adding new properties
#
aaronpk it's documented on the microformats wiki

#
sknebel [jgmac1106]: FWIW, gatsby also generates "curlable" pages, that's not really an issue with it
#
jgmac1106 yeah that is noted on gatsby page…I didn’t feel confident enough to reflect that on React pasge to I just linked to the gatsby page
#
jgmac1106 and now technically you can say anyone running WordPress 5.0 is running some kind of React
#
sknebel well, backend is different in many ways
#
jgmac1106 ….yes, they said that is phase one, phase two is supposed to be all themes and plugins
#
jgmac1106 hersey, from others who watched SOWP
#
sknebel sounded to me more like extending the editing model to everywhere, not use it for content, but also heresay so what do I know :D
#
jgmac1106 long and shirt I think there are a few people running or building sites on React, I think they are WordPress, those shoudl be documented if true
#
jgmac1106 I screw up writing the p-categories ofent as i see some people use the <data> element and assign the common value there…other times people just use p-category around plain text…which is what I though p indicated…
#
jacky I just read the innerText of the p-category element
#
jacky it might be a link for some people
#
jgmac1106 when I am linking to hashtag..that I get…but when I want to label a chunk of text as something.
#
sknebel what do you mean by "label a chunk of text"?
#
jgmac1106 in the badge example I was trying yesterday. i was trying to use two categories evidence and criteria
#
sknebel right, I didn't get what yo uwanted there
#
sknebel you want *properties* for evidence and criteria, don't you?
#
jgmac1106 in my fist attempt I tried <data class=“p-category” value=“criteria”>blah blah blah</data>
#
jgmac1106 don’t really care
#
jgmac1106 if I can get them just on p-note that is good for now
#
jgmac1106 but being able to link to or query all criteria is somethign I think about
#
sknebel a category is a short text. you can't attach a category *to* a text
#
jgmac1106 I just notcied this <data class=“p-category” value=“criteria”>blah blah blah</data> comes out gross
#
sknebel that says "I want to tag this post with "criteria""
#
jgmac1106 but <span class=“p-category”>the criteria is…blah blah blah</span> works
#
jgmac1106 yes, thanks for thinking this through with me
#
[eddie] Because that sets "the criteria is... blah blah blah" as the category
#
sknebel do you really want that as a category?
#
jacky ^
#
jgmac1106 I know and it feels wrong but looks pretty, as an easy to read when parsed
#
[eddie] if you wanted criteria as a property that would be something like this: <span class="p-criteria">This was the criteria</span>
#
sknebel why don't you make a property for that?
#
[eddie] That is probably more likely what you would want
#
jgmac1106 I may have mentioned that back in May: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/05/07/microformats-i-would-like-in-remixable-indieweb-classrooms
#
jgmac1106 trying to do it with existing properties and there is no consumer as per “There is a very specific process for adding new properties”
#
jgmac1106 I did go for the whole enchillida of a new h* though…probably should have tried for a single for a grand slam
#
jgmac1106 mixed metaphor day, sorry for American idiosm’s
#
aaronpk It seems like you're trying to represent something that is not yet able to be represented in the h-entry vocabulary which is a good hint that maybe you do need a new property

#
snarfed kisik21: looks like people already pointed you to https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/3#issuecomment-381028834 , which is the right way. put an acct: url in your site's representative h-card's u-url property, and bridgy fed should use it.
#
Loqi [snarfed] fyi all, @singpolyma's #27 implements this by looking for an `acct:` `u-url` in the representative h-card, as descibed earlier here, which seems pretty safe and likely to only be used by people who know what they're doing. i'm still a bit reluctan...

snarfed that's not in the docs right now because i'm not sure i want to encourage it.

jgmac1106 I figured that happened when I did the ht-access file
#
[jgmac1106] Is this step: Finally, configure your web site to redirect these URL paths to the same paths on https://fed.brid.gy/, including query parameters: before the htaccess?
#
snarfed htaccess is just one specific way to set up the redirects
#
[jgmac1106] let me try manually and see if that works since the htaccess file change didn;t
#
snarfed which domain is this for?
#
snarfed if you've added the redirect lines to your .htaccess, they're not working
#
[jgmac1106] who knows if it is all the security stuff. firefox won't even let me delete comments now because of the mixed http/https warningsa

#
Zegnat jgmac1106, re your htaccess file, I think lines 20–22 (rewriting for files that do not exist on your server) run before the one you added for .well-known. So the server never gets to it. Move the bridgy fed rewrite to after the css rewrite. Also, drop the RewriteEngine / RewriteBase lines, you already have those up top.
#
Zegnat I think that should do it then
#

[jgmac1106] screwed the pooch on that one..gonna be late..will try later: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/

[jgmac1106] I could just move off my shared host onto AWS and use ngix... But that is migration to nth...
#
Zegnat This has always been a bit of a problem. You are probably on a shared host so you do not need to care for server setup, but then the software you are using asks you to tweak server settings (htaccess)

snarfed so re https://chat.indieweb.org/2018-12-14#t1544820113611400 ...
#
Loqi [snarfed] chrisaldrich++ oh man facebook backfeed from email notifications might actually be possible. https://snarfed.org/fb_email_comment.png , https://snarfed.org/fb_email_like.png
#
snarfed the catch is getting the emails into bridgy. looks like facebook sends notifs to the primary email on the account. i haven't yet found a way to tell it to use a different one
#
aaronpk i've done stuff like that by making forwarding rules in gmail
#
snarfed obviously i don't want people to change their fb account's primary email to one bridgy owns just for this. i guess i could have them set up a filter to forward just notif emails?
#
snarfed heh yeah great minds
#
sknebel snarfed: have the user set up forwarding?
#
aaronpk obviously not possible for everyone
#
sknebel heh
#
snarfed also adds more scraping HTML fragility
#
snarfed still thuogh

[jgmac1106] just in a rush the file name was at top of the gist....cut and pasting error back in business

snarfed https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/854
#
Loqi [snarfed] #854 facebook backfeed via email notifications
#
jgmac1106 I get this one to work: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2018/12/14/absolute-last-try-and-then-i-give
#
Loqi [Greg McVerry] absolute last try and then I give up on getting https://fed.brid.gy going for awhile...wanna get outside before it's dark.
#
jgmac1106 but not others ..hmmmmm
[eddie] joined the channel
#
jgmac1106 just enough to to keep me sucked in
#
[eddie] My facebook emails have never actually given the contnet
#
[eddie] It's always just said "Go checkout what's new"
#
[eddie] Ohhh I just saw snarfed's screenshots in IndieWEb
#
[eddie] how strange, I've never gotten any emails that clear
#
[eddie] maybe I have that granularity turned off
#
snarfed jgmac1106: nice!
#
[jgmac1106] you probably turned it off. it is hell getting them all
#
[jgmac1106] just the once {snarfed}
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] Oh have we talked about a browser extension for bridgy backfeed?
#
[jgmac1106] I was wonderign that the way FF wraps facebook to strip away trackers
#
snarfed [schmarty]: huh no we haven't
#
sknebel I think it was suggested a few times, but never more than "one could do that"
#
sknebel and maybe generic backfeed, not bridgy-linked
#
snarfed pretty big step away from the current service model
#
snarfed i'd love to see more backfeed implementations though! way too little diversity right now
#
snarfed ownyourswarm is kind of the only other real one
#
[schmarty] Yeah I guess it's not bridge-like at that point
#
snarfed eh it still bridges silos to wm etc, just in your browser instead of the cloud
#
snarfed go for it!
#
[jgmac1106] facebook hired a PR firm to spread antisemitic memes to influence congress, the supported SOFTA juts to throw Congress a bone, they secretly sell data....I think we are having the wrong conversation IMO...#AllIGottaSayAboutThat
#
[schmarty] It would probably need a server component for the synthetic pages for WMs
#
sknebel or you could add a way to add comments directly from it
#
sknebel e.g. allow the extension to micropub comments to your site
#
[jgmac1106] could you use this make a big microoub container: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/facebook-container-extension/
#
Loqi Facebook Container Extension: Take control of how you’re being tracked
#
[schmarty] Interesting! Micropub edits to add responses to a post.
#
snarfed [jgmac1106]: just fyi bridgy fed is getting timeouts and 403s from fetching http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/ . that's at least part of the reason you're seeing flakiness, if not the whole reason
#
jgmac1106 giving up on fed.bridgy…have no idea how I sent one post, failed on another and can get nothign working after that
#
jgmac1106 …I am trying to test if I had to syndicate to Twitter as well
#
jgmac1106 the one time it worked I did. that….I can’t even fail another test right now
#
snarfed sorry for the trouble :(
#
jgmac1106 don’t apolgize for building things I don’t understand
#
sknebel might be issues with your hosters "web firewall" again?
#
jgmac1106 yeah…strange I slipped two through…would feel like maybe I trieggered something on the third
#
jgmac1106 will just keep it as is and maybe one day it just works, will juts keep passing through micro.blog to get to Mastodon
#
jgmac1106 the plot thickens now micro.blog didn’t pick up my RSS feed
#
jgmac1106 ohh well …I meant to walk away a hhalf horu agap
#
jgmac1106 especially if I am typing like that now….means beer dark-thirty…..too bad it is actually dark
#
jgmac1106 will turn twitter to mastodon cross poster back on for ActivityPub stuff
