Hmm, for people looking the bridge Instagram, this post from mathowie seems to suggest browsers may be able to upload photos now? https://a.wholelottanothing.org/2019/09/26/how-to-use-instagram-on-your-mac-desktop/

what is archive?
#
Loqi
archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archive
#
sknebel
what is archival copy?
#
Loqi
An archival copy is a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time, that can be used as a reference if the original disappears or is temporarily unavailable https://indieweb.org/archival_copy
#
sknebel
archival copy << [http://archiveready.com/ a tool to check if sites will likely be archived properly]
#
Loqi
ok, I added "[http://archiveready.com/ a tool to check if sites will likely be archived properly]" to the "See Also" section of /archival_copy https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=65086&oldid=64566

Is there a limit of some sort on the aperature image proxy aaronpk? Seems to be struggling with my giant images 😅
#
aaronpk
prooobabbly
#
aaronpk
I really need to make it also resize the images
#
[grantcodes]
Yeah it breaks my resizing too because it doesn't get the full file

#
aaronpk
yeah I need to figure out a better solution for this
#
aaronpk
maybe the answer is microsub clients should deal with it on their own? i'm nto sure
#
[schmarty]
Byo image proxy
[aaronpk] joined the channel
#
[aaronpk]
Kinda thinking that might be a better plan

The nice thing with the microsub (or any other read service) going the image caching is the extra layer of privacy. My reading tool does not contact an external source outside of the read service while I am reading

[Zegnat] #788 Feedbin: use image proxy to serve all included images from Feedbin
#
Zegnat
Feedbin’s API is pretty interesting, it includes image URLs alongside their Feedbin-cached variants

Yeah I do a similar thing in FeedOnFeeds but that’s mostly to get around http warnings and the occasional anti-hotlink measure. I don’t bother to cache since most FeedOnFeeds instances are single-user anyway.
#
[fluffy]
Although adding a cache should be straightforward if it ever comes up as useful.

mapkyca++ for 24 delayed checkin post in the plugin
#
Loqi
mapkyca has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (10 in all channels)

haha, well i fixed all my broken map images... by switching to stamen's tileservers. apparently the defaults listed in the (discontinued) staticmaplite are all severely ratelimited or outright not returning tile images.
#
[schmarty]
https://github.com/dfacts/staticmaplite is the project, which, if you have a working tileserver, still works great.
#
Loqi
[dfacts] staticmaplite: staticMapLite - simple php staticmap script
#
aaronpk
well sounds like an easy fix
#
[schmarty]
this page listed several including how they are funded, whether they are freely usable, etc. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers
#
[schmarty]
i liked the simple look of the stamen "toner" style. and it's funded by the knight foundation. and my maps system literally only fetches tiles once per checkin. so, i switched!
#
[schmarty]
ooh loqi! i gotta move that h-card outta the header of my posts, i guess.
#
aaronpk
weird that should have worked
#
aaronpk
oh there is no content maybe?
#
[schmarty]
there is not!
#
[schmarty]
just checkin info
#
aaronpk
aha Loqi only reports links that have either a name or content property
#
aaronpk
I should probably relax that to also look for summary
