what is image proxy
#
Loqi
An image proxy is a service that fetches and re-serves images from a new URL https://indieweb.org/image_proxy
#
jacky
about time I start using onee
#
jacky
camo looks simple enough to use
#
jacky
even though it's considered a good practice to use them for user security; does anyone consider allowing them to be turned off?
#
jacky
or at least swapped out with one the user would like to use?
#
jacky
is debating doing that for lwa

[LewisCowles]
If you use Ruby on Rails I setup Imgix to be switchable, I had a function which decided if it used image_tag, or ix_image_tag with the work required based on our app being local or remote. I'd imagine the same treatment for any app is what the requirement would be

Is anyone receiving webmentions in the last couple of days from jvt.me? It should've been disabled but my notification channel seems to be seeing new traffic from those posts and I'm confused 🤔

!tell [LewisCowles] I don't but the way things are set up, I can proxy it out to anything!
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

he, I’ve lost all context, but I consider myself told
#
[LewisCowles]
ah the image proxy

[fluffy]
@jamietanna[m] I’ve been getting a few but I assumed they were backfilling.
#
jamietanna[m]
Fluffy thanks, hopefully it's that. I did try moving to telegraph.p3k.io for a few days instead of mention.tech so may have been telegraph retries them / has some delays set

going to deploy a new version of lwa to production
#
jacky
going to write a bit about what it can do but would love feedback (as a reply to said post when it hits indienews)

#
jacky
been fiddling with headers to no avail
#
jacky
and not sure exactly what resource it's getting this on (photo mentioned since it's a photo post? root HTML page?)

jacky: awesome site 👍 I have to take a closer look someday.
#
jacky
thank you!

sknebel
jacky: you are mirroring content type again :D
#
jacky
ah yeah
#
jacky
I did say I was going to fix that
#
jacky
I forgot how this happened
#
jacky
ooof yeah okay
#
jacky
I can repro this locally
#
jacky
need to figure out why this happenes

!tell [KevinMarks] (or anyone else) Is there a quick way to determine which ones in this list of science blogs (from Technorati) are still active today? I know I can do it slowly, but lazy. It would make a nice addition to that strange "Remember the blogs" piece a few days back.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

people have done tools for that, but you're always making a judgement on what counts as active. If the domain has gone or they turned into spam it's one thing, if they are posting less often at what point are the over?
[tantek] and uniquerockrz joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
I think my cutoff would be domain gone. I've been pleasantly surprised to discover sites arising phoenix-like, via RSS.
#
jeremycherfas
Easiest option, I suppose, is to download the source, remove the IA part of the URL and just run it against one of those tools.

#
[tonz]
@jamietanna yes I have seen some repeat webmentions from you in the past weeks
#
[tonz]
Yesterday today too
#
jamietanna[m]
Tonz in the past couple of weeks it's definitely been an "intended" issue with my webmention sending, but yesterday it shouldn't have sent anything cause I've disabled sending webmentions. So either something outside my webmention endpoint is resending, or someone else has decided to send webmentions from my posts
#
[tantek]
what is an active blog?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "active blog" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "active blog is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Going through that list of 50 most popular science blogs, some interesting things are emerging. Could make an interesting post for me.

Weird thing going on with their domain 301 redirecting to an ugly amazonaws URL: http://vickiboykis.com -> http://vickiboykis.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/

what is a trip
#
Loqi
A trip is a post that describes the act of traveling from a start location to an end location by some mode of transport https://indieweb.org/trip
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
trip << Brainstorming: consider including content noting carbon emissions per trip, perhaps using a service like http://www.ecopassenger.org/ to figure out the carbon, and include a citation documenting what methods/services/methodologies were used in the computation.
#
Loqi
ok, I added "Brainstorming: consider including content noting carbon emissions per trip, perhaps using a service like http://www.ecopassenger.org/ to figure out the carbon, and include a citation documenting what methods/services/methodologies were used in the computation." to the "See Also" section of /trip https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=66372&oldid=58152

fixed that content-type header bug :)

jacky
is there currently no way to query one's site for a post with particular properties?
#
jacky
I'm trying to prevent the whole "double liking" situation
#
aaronpk
query whose site?
#
jacky
I've debated implementing some sort of partial HMAC that I can check for posts but I have 10,000 of those and generating that feels intense
#
aaronpk
querying your own micropub endpoint? there's been some discussion/experiments with that
#
jacky
more specifically, if a microsub client can ask a site with micropub if they've posted something with $properties or including $properties
#
jacky
is glad - that reduces the insanity factor :)
#
aaronpk
now i can't find it
#
Loqi
[EdwardHinkle] #4 Query for Post List
#
aaronpk
hm not quite
#
aaronpk
cause you need to be able to query based on a property
#
jacky
that would be enough for me
#
jacky
like if I could query on `like-of` or `in-reply-to` then I could surface that
#
Loqi
[grantcodes] I've updated my implementation so I support a bunch of new features expanding on what @EdwardHinkle already mentioned When using `q=source` there is now a lot of other parameters available: - `post-type=type` - Filters the returned posts to on...
#
jacky
ooh that's kinda what I was thinking to do
uniquerockrz joined the channel
#
jacky
alright I might mock out this support in my reader in an opportunistic way
#
jacky
but first, I want to highlight reaction counts and original posts
#
jacky
adding that kind of functionality is going to be complicated for my setup

[grantcodes]
Yeah I used that method I mentioned in my ownyourtrakt thing to prevent duplicates and it works well for me

aaronpk, had any indielogin bandwidth lately?
#
aaronpk
yeah we were getting close on that huh
#
[LewisCowles]
the 12 factor is blocking a rebase of the main one
#
[LewisCowles]
I don't want to rebase in-case it's not wanted
mblaney joined the channel
#
aaronpk
that one was almost done
#
[LewisCowles]
yeah I made adjustments on the dat and hit the refresh
#
aaronpk
oh now i remember... i was thinking about changing it around to use dotenv instead
#
aaronpk
similar idea but uses a more standard way of doing it
#
[LewisCowles]
ah, i'll await that then and rebase. feel free to close the static-config -> method PR
#
[LewisCowles]
preferably with a comment 🙏

mblaney
I'm not sure if it solves the same problem as the earlier discussion, but I use https://indieweb.org/indie-config#Status_Option to query likes and replies for a given permalink.

works pretty well with a reader.
