tl;dr there has always been a possible attack possible in the GPG web of trust, and it was finally exploited, and there is basically no way to recover now

yeahh
#
jacky
I think they _just_ pushed a fix
#
jacky
but it's def too little too late
#
jacky
it's like finding out someone put soap in the apple pie
#
jacky
and only after you had two slices
#
aaronpk
literally LOL 😂
#
gRegorLove
Whoa, missed that GPG news.

I _think_ I mentioned this before
#
jacky
but https://coolors.co/ is nifty for color scheme generation
#
aaronpk
adds it to the list :)
#
[tantek]
what is a color scheme
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "color scheme" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "color scheme is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
ok I know I documented this during Berlin
#
[tantek]
what are colors
#
Loqi
color palette is the set of colors used by a web page for the background(s), text color(s), border color(s), and link/visited color(s) typically chosen to be both aesthetically pleasing, and accessible, often in an overall light or dark theme https://indieweb.org/colors
#
[tantek]
color scheme is /color_palette
#
[tantek]
colors << https://coolors.co/ is nifty for color scheme generation
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://coolors.co/ is nifty for color scheme generation" to the "See Also" section of /color_palette https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=63467&oldid=61402
#
[tantek]
aaronpk adds to his site with a tag. I add to the wiki. 😭
#
[tantek]
and you were the one making fun of me (sort of 🙂 ) for proposing the chat web UI support Microblog 😛
#
[tantek]
support *Micropub
#
aaronpk
oh I wasn't making fun of you I was just running away from that whole topic very quickly
#
[tantek]
oh that's totally fair
#
[tantek]
I can understand the fear. You are so close to being able to do it, that if someone else enabled it, the temptation would be too strong and you'd likely fall into that rabbithole (of post to IRC from your website)
#
[tantek]
jacky, re: color schemes, have you seen https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/cinemapalette/ (linked from /colors )
#
jacky
oh this reminds me of the Twitter account
#
jacky
I love stuff like this
#
[tantek]
yeah that's on there too
#
[tantek]
that's what inspired my 3rd theme on my site
#
jacky
hmm this is dangerously tempting
#
jacky
to make a color scheme generator based on a photo when I repost it on my site
#
[tantek]
oh no the Twitter account got suspended!
#
[tantek]
^^^ bad link-preview, unlikely to get "the full story" from a suspended account 😛
#
jacky
lol right
#
jacky
RIP @ColorsEffect
#
aaronpk
warning warning warning: color math is hard
#
[tantek]
wow good thing I posted about the ColorsEffect tweet that inspired my 3rd theme!
#
gRegorLove
I like https://www.0to255.com/ for getting lighter and darker shades
#
aaronpk
i'm confused... "This Tweet is unavailable" but it's still showing replies to the tweet?
#
[tantek]
where are you seeing replies to the tweet?!?
#
[tantek]
on the desktop web UI I only get the account suspended redirect
#
aaronpk
are you on the new UI?

[Tantek Çelik] #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf hack day “quick” addition: New @TronLegacy inspired theme, using +1 hyperlink on home page +1 #CSS style rule Thanks to #HTMLfirst, #CSSVariables, and @ColorsEffect! https://twitter.com/ColorsEffect/status/1114584965218...
#
gRegorLove
I see the replies too
#
[tantek]
is this in "new twitter"?
#
[tantek]
this has all kinds of implications
#
aaronpk
speaking of new twitter i'm really not a fan of the "tweets from people like this" below the tweet now
#
aaronpk
it's like a worse version of youtube autoplay suggested videos
#
[tantek]
growth hacking!
#
aaronpk
THERE ARENT ENOUGH EYES TO ROLL
#
KartikPrabhu
I think "growth hacking" is all capitalised
#
[tantek]
GrOwTh HaCkInG
#
KartikPrabhu
that's much better!! :P
#
jacky
more stuff (I'm working on something that focuses on design and the links in my bookmarks are coming out)
#
jacky
I should just have a 'design' tag on my site
#
Loqi
agreed.
#
aaronpk
I should really get webpage screenshots working again on my bookmarks
#
aaronpk
I was using an endpoint that benwerd had running
#
jacky
I _think_ there's a npm package for that now
#
aaronpk
of course there is
#
Loqi
agreed.
#
aaronpk
it probably installs an entire VM
#
jacky
close to it, lol, it'll need xvfb or at least headless chrome running somewhere
#
jacky
this is what I was looking for before
#
[tantek]
I mean it could be worse, it could install an entire VM + web server

"Add Webmention support to your website in ten minutes" https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/setup-webmention.html Then build an interface that doesn't clutter the page but only show those relevant to your readers. I've seen too many that look like tumblr.

[Daniel Aleksandersen] Add Webmention support to your website in ten minutes
#
aaronpk
oh yeah
#
jgmac1106
is it just me or does every add webmention support in under X minutes stop at..just before displaying webmentions….becuase I have yet to find that tutorial, and rightfully so…but that is something I do need to figure out.
#
jgmac1106
just wonder if the message is a little misleading as most tutorial are about just sending and recieving, but most folks will be like…but how do I get them to show up, or if it is just targeted at audience that would know how to kame the display after the ten minute “add endpoint” tutorial

[jgmac1106] "displaying webmentions" is the harder part, and to some extent is not fully solved (re: abuse, spam, blocking etc.)
#
jgmac1106[m]
As I said I get the reasons just worry if "ten minutes" articles will cause some confusion... Still amazing spread of news recently
#
jgmac1106[m]
And that is amazing

!tell cweiske hi! just fyi, your search currently 500s on any search that ends with the / character, eg https://indiechat.search.cweiske.de/?q=xyz/ . hope it's an easy fix!
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] I think it's good. It gets more people involved in the /comments display discussion which needs more design!
valuemachine, snarfed and [KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks]
if you use webmention.herokuapp.com displaying is easy; with webmention.io or mention.tech you need to doa bit more.
#
[tantek]
Kevinmarks if you think that is easy, could you add a new "How to" for webmention.heroku specifically to https://indieweb.org/comments#How_to_display ?
jgmac1106 joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks]
It's in the homepage, but I can copy it https://webmention.herokuapp.com/

[snarfed]: isn't robots.txt counterproductive to keep stuff entirely out of view?
#
sknebel
If something else links to it
#
sknebel
Because the search engine don't fetch it and thus don't see the tags on the page telling them to not include in the index
#
[tantek]
kevinmarks, or at least create a stub "How to" subsection that links to the longer explanation
#
[tantek]
sknebel, that's not how search engine spiders work
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] [snarfed] my "unlisted" posts did not show up in "feeds" (had none at the time), did not have any site search, and were blocked with robots.txt and I think also meta robots

what is robots txt

robots.txt is a file used to inform web crawlers what parts of a site should or should not be crawled https://indieweb.org/robots_txt
