GWG aaronpk: Where does Compass log things? I see references to a log
#
aaronpk Should be in the storage/logs folder
#
GWG The only I see in there is a lumen log.
#
aaronpk That's the one
#
aaronpk lumen is the framework it uses
#
GWG I'm trying to figure out why a Web Hook isn't triggering.
#
GWG aaronpk: Would you have any ideas?
#
aaronpk Did you start the background worker?
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Compass/blob/master/README.md#job-queue
#
GWG I have it running in a tmux session
#
GWG I didn't make it run in the background
#
GWG But that should work
#
GWG Just tried restarting it

GWG I can't seem to get the job queue doing anything

#
GWG aaronpk: No luck. Any suggestions?
#
aaronpk Huh try looking at the lumen docs for troubleshooting
#
GWG I have been
#
GWG Maybe I'll try something different

GWG I'm going to try and poll instead of push, I guess.

#
[eddie] Man, DreamHost is STILL down. Time to start investigating switching to AWS
#
[eddie] This is gonna be my largest downtime for months. Maybe even a year!

#
jalcine [eddie]: if not AWS, there's http://digitalocean.com/ :)
EmreSokullu, [fluffy], cweiske and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] jalcine: makes sense! I think one thing I definitely want to do is research if I can make my Micropub and Media endpoints be built into Lambda functions on AWS so it doesn’t depend on a specific digital instance of a computer.
#
[eddie] I’m hoping that would make it more likely that I would have minimal downtime for those functions
#
[eddie] Then, I’m hoping to have the rest of my website to sit on a on-demand instance (either AWS, Digital Ocean or Linode).
#
[eddie] Still thinking things through but I *think* that would make my system a bit more robust

#
[grantcodes] !tell doubleloop interesting ideas on the microsub subscriptions, I thought of building in a way to follow twitter or instagram users via granary directly into together but never got around to it yet. If you build something to help with following people like that I would recommend building it as a microsub "client" - it would never need to read any posts but it would work with any server
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[grantcodes] !tell eddie take a look at zeit now for hosting too, been playing a little with their serverless stuff and it is super slick, but I think it is just some polish with aws hiding somewhere in the background
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
swentel hmm which post is this, I can't find it on his site
#
swentel nvm, got it

#
[eddie] Ugh, 10 hours of downtime. Thankfully, I checked the server when I woke up with my son in the night and I just restarted my server but wow that was irritating
#
Loqi [eddie]: [grantcodes] left you a message 44 minutes ago: take a look at zeit now for hosting too, been playing a little with their serverless stuff and it is super slick, but I think it is just some polish with aws hiding somewhere in the background

#
Jeremycherfas At last, found a version of OSX that my laptop can upgrade to.
#
jacky finally finished a indieauth client adapter for Elixir's go-to auth library (Ueberauth, it's like Devise/Omniauth) in Rails. It's not good for others to use yet but will definitely post soon!
#
GWG Last night, after failing to get webhooks working on Compass, I went in reverse and configured my Home Assistant instance to query Compass.
#
[Rose] Ooh
#
[Rose] How are you sending your data to compass?
#
[Rose] I'd love to be able to expand my current home automation setup to detect my boyfriend as well as myself.
#
GWG Originally, I had it going from Home Assistant to WordPress
#
GWG Now I have it going from Compass to Home Assistant

[schmarty] GWG: neat! how are you getting compass data into home assistant?
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] !tell [grantcodes] thanks! Zeit looks awesome! I’m gonna have to check it out.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Yeah, somehow seems to be free too. At least from what I've been testing so far
#
[eddie] Yeah they seem to have a generous free tier before charging money, so most their money comes from larger businesses
EmreSokullu and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] [eddie] feel free to capture the downtime on /Dreamhost#Downtime similar to other sites
#
[tantek] What is downtime
#
Loqi downtime is the time period or duration while a site, whether indieweb, commons, or silo, is offline and unreachable https://indieweb.org/downtime
#
[eddie] Thanks tantek, will do!
#
[tantek] With being transparent about it for future folks who are considering different web hosting options
#
[tantek] Maybe link to it from a new section in /downtime like “Web hosts” since DreamHost is not a solo
#
[eddie] haha that's exactly what I did. I called it "Hosting Examples"
#
[tantek] *silo - there really was no reason for iOS to automiscorrect that to solo
#
[tantek] FWIW it seems like my site and email on tantek.com continue to work uninterrupted on DreamHost
#
[eddie] correct, it was their on-demand instances, DreamCompute

GWG [schmarty]: A REST sensor
#
@stevenjmesser Trying to get Webmentions set up. Looks like a pretty good open standard for the Social Web. (twitter.com/_/status/1113481017933860864)
#
GWG [schmarty]: Then an automation to convert and publish it in device tracker format
#
GWG [schmarty]: I couldn't get the webhook working in Compass for some reason

[kevinmarks] This is interesting - using Heroku tooling to make docker images https://blog.heroku.com/defence-against-the-docker-arts
#
@jgmac1106 ↩️ But 100% agree getting a webmention when someone annotates something where I am listed as author gets annotated. Would be super cool (https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/31Efd) (twitter.com/_/status/1113514223315845120)

Loqi doubleloop: [grantcodes] left you a message 9 hours, 54 minutes ago: interesting ideas on the microsub subscriptions, I thought of building in a way to follow twitter or instagram users via granary directly into together but never got around to it yet. If you build something to help with following people like that I would recommend building it as a microsub "client" - it would never need to read any posts but it would work with any server
#
doubleloop [eddie]: oh cool, thanks for the tip about Ek and OPML
#
doubleloop [grantcodes]: thanks - I was thinking though that one downside of doing it in the client is that then you can only do it from that client?
#
doubleloop mblaney: re: import/export, very true, I was thinking the same with my 'script' comment - read from one endpoint and write to the other. Still, an export file just as an external backup might also be nice, no?
gRegorLove and EmreSokullu joined the channel
#
snarfed heh, you could write a minimal microsub server that just reads and writes an OPML file, and does no actual feed fetching or item handling

[Vincent] Hello, is anyone experiencing problems with Bridgy? I noticed it had stopped sending content from Twitter, so I logged in and reconnected it. Now if I click on an interaction to re-send it, Twitter looks like it disconnects the account it’s end. Bridgy at the top says Twitter is paused.
#
[Vincent] Logging in to Twitter and it says it is all fine and connected?!
#
snarfed hey [Vincent], what's your bridgy user page?
#
snarfed (it's not bridgy-wide fwiw, other twitter bridgy users all look fine right now)
#
[Vincent] [snarfed] Sorry, ignore me. I’ve literally just realised its my fault. My server was throwing an error I hadn’t uncovered. I believe this is the cause.
#
[Vincent] apologies!
#
snarfed np!
#
[Vincent] you always find these things 2 seconds after asking for help, despite hours of searching before hand /0\
#
snarfed heh, yup
#
swentel hehe, join #rubberduck :)

mblaney doubleloop yes I agree, dobrado can import OPML and I would like to be able to generate it too.

mblaney (generate rather than export because I would like to be able to subscribe to OPML)
