# [fluffy] ah, I see what’s going on - https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target[]=https://beesbuzz.biz/blog/7221-Gah - yeah I’m using wm-source instead of u-url
# [dougbeal] Do you run into the same problem from sites using telegram?
# [dougbeal] url doesn’t match wm-source?

# dougbeal|mb1 hurm, it looks like url and author->url are swapped on webmentions from my wp site
# dougbeal|mb1 url was also captures at http://dougbeal.com
# dougbeal|mb1 can you link to a single webmetion on webmention.io w/an id?

# [snarfed] it works the same as bridgy publish with other silos. takes mf2 posts from your site, converts them as appropriate, and posts them on the silo you choose, eg mastodon. https://brid.gy/about#publish

# [grantcodes] Oops accidentally racked up a huge google bill developing with the places api 🤦
# [Lewis_Cowles] [grantcodes] any way to use hard cut-off?
# [Lewis_Cowles] AWS has https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/monitor-estimated-costs-using-amazon-cloudwatch-billing-metrics-and-alarms/ which will trigger an alarm, which can be used to scale back infra
# [Lewis_Cowles] I suppose it could also be used to circuit-break
# [Lewis_Cowles] doesn’t help right now, but maybe Google has similar for the future?
# [Rose] I think this may help with vouch some more: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/09/evolving-nofollow-new-ways-to-identify.html
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "couch" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "couch is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Loqi The Vouch protocol is an anti-spam extension to Webmention. Webmention with Vouch depends on understanding Webmention https://indieweb.org/Vouch
# [grantcodes] Yeah I set all that up once I noticed it was happening. But it's still not as fine grained as I would like. I will probably move to a different api for nearby places

# @ochtendgrijs ↩️ Wel, zorg voor een eigen website, voor jouw alleen. Post daar, voorzie een RSS-feed, en push _daarna_ je content automatisch naar andere diensten, zodat je niemand ‘achterlaat’.

# [tantek] [KevinMarks] The /fragmentions spec is still confusing new readers (developers, potential implementers) about which syntax is the "current" syntax # or ## and what are the exact restrictions like is more than one word necessary or not. (via private feedback)
[fluffy] joined the channel
# [tantek] [KevinMarks] you available to clean up /fragmentions like in the next week or so or would it help to have a co-editor? And what are your thoughts on moving it to GitHub for more formal issue collection, discussion, resolution?
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
# [KevinMarks] I'll do a pass on it today. Github could make sense.
# [KevinMarks] I've been engaging with the Google one too, but they have gone very complex.
# [KevinMarks] Fair point

# [tantek] I really need a way to incorporate "static" pages into my "CMS" with really the only requirements being: 1 they are easy to create/edit (plain semantic HTML is fine and better than markdown) and 2 automatic headers and footers and general styling so they look consistent with my home page and post permalinks

# [schmarty] tantek: i did something like this w/ my hugo site for an "improv bio"
# [Lewis_Cowles] you can believe it or not do this with SSI, Apache2 or Nginx
# [schmarty] Hugo is pretty flexible, and doesn't require pages to have publish dates, so I have a folder of "pages".
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
# [jeremycherfas] [tantek] I have a static page for my media consumption log, in Grav. Not available from the main menu.
# [Lewis_Cowles] SSI is just including include directives to common header & footer, perhaps sidebar. I used to use that in the late 1990's, it should be very well supported
# [jeremycherfas] Not sure how mine looks since the theme update.
# [jgmac1106] Not sure exactly what you mean by static versus the chronological pages but I do put static resource pages up. some for me, some html, some just plain txt files for notes
# [schmarty] my improv resume thing has some custom styles and markup, so i have both a content file (the actual resume content) and a template file (that uses named blocks to add in a <style> block and override the main layout, but inherits most of my template)
# [Lewis_Cowles] ssi is a precursor to formal scripting languages. It is AFAIK it’s own language commonly implemented in early web servers. TBH I dispensed with it very soon after use https://serverfault.com/questions/787253/configure-nginx-to-send-response-with-header-and-footer-for-http-body has more details on including headers and footers in nginx. Trying to ensure I don’t link apache 2.2 where 2.4 is appropriate
# [jgmac1106] https://jgregorymcverry.com/phpnotes.txt well I kind of do that by separating my "articles" which can be a super long article and not my chronological blog post
# [jeremycherfas] Looks fine, thanks to templating.
# [Lewis_Cowles] https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssi_module.html#ssi
# [jeremycherfas] But I need to re-add the link to the sidebar.
# [jgmac1106] usually you can find bits and pieces of the articles in blog posts like this: https://jgregorymcverry.com/questiontheweb
# [Lewis_Cowles] it’s portable between the major players
# [Lewis_Cowles] i.e. it’s been around many web-servers since the 1990's
# [Lewis_Cowles] htaccess can do this
# [Lewis_Cowles] as can PHP
# [snarfed] i expect lots of us do these. i do. eg https://snarfed.org/resume , https://snarfed.org/books
# [jeremycherfas] https://www.jeremycherfas.net/what-ive-watched in case you’re interested.
# [Lewis_Cowles] just make sure you check both that files exist and are within the web root
# [Lewis_Cowles] that stops people including odd urls to root folders
# [Lewis_Cowles] I used to have a PHP system just for this
# [Lewis_Cowles] I killed it after 2007
# [jgmac1106] ooh I like that permalink distinction snarfed I may adopt that
# [Lewis_Cowles] [Rose] I think he will use include with htaccess to supply the name of the files to include
# [tantek] snarfed, can you add that to /URL_design ?
# [Lewis_Cowles] or file_get_contents
# [jgmac1106] we did a session on speaking bio pages at /online. I really like those who have the short and long form boxes
# [jgmac1106] well off to class
# [schmarty] tantek: not sure how your site handles routing URLs now, but it feels like you could set up a fallback rule for URLs that haven't matched any of your existing URLs and see if they match a content file in some "static pages" folder.
# Loqi routing (or URL routing) is a way to configure a website to have some (or all) of its URLs handled by software rather than static files; an IndieWeb site may have no routing (a static site), some routing like one directory handled by PHP or other software, or all URLs handled by a framework like Ruby on Rails with its own routing system https://indieweb.org/routing
# [schmarty] documentfirst++
# [schmarty] understanding how you do things now will help you understand your (changing) needs, and can help you weigh the options available, their relative power, and complexity.
# [snarfed] yes! learned a great origin (maybe) for this the other day: Chesterton's fence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton#Chesterton's_fence

# [tantek] Documented my current "routing" https://indieweb.org/routing#Tantek (if what I'm describing there is not "routing" then please let me know, happy to be informed here)

# [Lewis_Cowles] I feel like I've explained something badly [tantek]
# [Lewis_Cowles] Its 4 files minimum with 1 per post
# [Lewis_Cowles] Htaccess at the webroot with a request uri rewrite would point at a single php, which includes headers, footers, other setup php (for headers and footers)
# [Lewis_Cowles] So 3 to allow you to declare a blog post + 1 per blog-post
# [Lewis_Cowles] You could have the header and footer load via ajax it's still 3 files
# [Lewis_Cowles] That is nginx, ssi, apache, or php capable.
# [Lewis_Cowles] I suppose types of header footer explodes this a bit

# aaronpk [tantek]: regarding "static" pages, I have the concept of un-dated pages with custom URLs that exist outside of my date-based posts. the pages themselves are still rendered by the rest of the CMS, so my header/footer/etc get pulled in, and they can be written in HTML, Markdown, or plain text like everything else. that's how I have pages like https://aaronparecki.com/contact/ It's been working pretty

# [Rose] !tell aaronpk++ I was digging through your overland code and saw you have a new feature coming to connect WiFi networks with specific co-ordinates. Would you mind me adding iBeacons to that if I can figure out how to do so? The networks at work are so large that I can't use them for GPS, but I have an iBeacon on my desk for other purposes.
# @philw_ ↩️ I've not done anything with it yet, but https://indieweb.org/Bridgy looks interesting, you can use Twitter as your comments section and it'll make webmentions for a blog to display under the post (twitter.com/_/status/1186367527540215809)
