GWG aaronpk: How did you find that?
markopasha left the channel
#
aaronpk they got in touch with me a while ago
#
aaronpk asking if it was okay to use the name/logo/design
#
GWG aaronpk: I can't see they assembled an apk though
#
aaronpk it's on the google play store
#
GWG Is it? I'll check
#
GWG Not seeing it
#
aaronpk what is overland
#
Loqi Overland is an iOS and Android app for location tracking that can send its data to a custom server https://indieweb.org/Overland
#
aaronpk link is on there ^^
#
GWG It honestly does not come up in search
#
GWG If only I was going somewhere
[chrisaldrich] and xsteadfastx joined the channel

GWG aaronpk: Seems to work.
#
aaronpk nice
#
GWG I may open some bug notations

GWG I really need someone to take over this project. https://github.com/erikflowers/weather-icons

#
jacky slowly spinning up https://lighthouse.black.af
#
jacky there's a small bug with log-in that seems to be one with cookies; might just not use cookies and lean on sessions until I can fix it

#
[snarfed] hah Jacky your "100 webmentions" there made me check https://brid.gy/#stats , and...hmm. it jumped from 2M to >3.1M in just the last month or so. that can't be right
#
[snarfed] (er your "1000000 webmentions")
[jgarber] joined the channel
#
jacky lmfaooo I totally just put a number in there
#
jacky I should _probably_ remove that
#
Loqi yea

#
[prtksxna] GWG: I’d be up to draw some icons in that style if you need. Maintaining that project is another thing…
#
[prtksxna] GWG: Do you know what you need?
#
GWG [prtksxna]: I want to find icons for the measurements I'm showing, in order to make a nicer widget
#
[prtksxna] GWG: Right, I know you mentioned the stuff you were measuring somewhere, but do you have a list handy/
#
[prtksxna] Pressure, humidity stuff?
#
GWG They have a barometer and a thermometer icon
#
GWG I don't have icons for air quality, uv index or visibility.
#
[prtksxna] are there any well recognized symbols for these?
#
[prtksxna] I am seeing an air filter type thing for air quality, UV written in a sun for the index, and maybe an eye for visibility?
#
[prtksxna] Will they have different levels?
#
GWG Levels?
#
[prtksxna] For example, would you need different icons for different levels of AQI?
#
GWG No. Just looking for something I can put the number next to
#
GWG I also have plans for some other presentation options.
#
GWG But the rest are aspirational, as I am looking forward to using them the day I actually go somewhere again
#
GWG Also unsure what altitude looks like
#
dansup making great progress with FediDB! https://mastodon.social/@dansup/104153981925619187
#
Loqi [dansup] Less is more, the redesigned FediDB is live and we'll be opening registrations soon! 🚀 https://fedidb.org #FediDB https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/028/578/259/original/18a1cb61af0bb154.png

jacky nicee
#
jacky regarding that bad actor angle, I wonder if there's a way to 'approve' it faster
#
jacky like checking against block lists of instances you trust (I'm not sure how AP allows you to fetch those tho)
#
dansup jacky: hoping to eliminate that with automation
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
dansup user verifies instance admin/ownership and they can manage who can use it
#
jacky hm that's def a way to slow it down
#
dansup or could do opt-out using same verification method
#
jacky maybe also instance age to prevent people from spinning up instances as admins?
#
jacky oh yeah def opt-out
#
dansup FediDB doesn't "create" any federated activities, it has pre-generated ones with the same media url but the concern has to do with object lookup/validation
#
dansup I mean it doesnt send out activities, you need to look them up
#
jacky ah okay (my fault for not groking that)
gRegorLove_ joined the channel
#
dansup but still, you can evade blocks by using this to fetch actors or objects so I thought an approved list of instances could be a short term solution to abuse
#
dansup i mean you can do that with AP if the status is public with the right headers but I don't want to make it any easier, know what I mean?
#
jacky I think so
#
dansup btw after I mass unfollowed everyone last year, I wasn't able to re-follow you
#
dansup I need to find another masto instance 😅
#
jacky wait are you on m.social?
#
jacky that might be why
#
jacky I kinda wish things like that were overridable on a user-level (state rights! lol)
#
dansup I joined in 2016, I used to be on GS but the instance went down lol
#
dansup anyways, I can't wait until FediDB can be used by developers like us, will really help Pixelfed and I hope many other projects

GWG [prtksxna]: You clearly have more artistic capability than I do. Thank you. Will see what I can do with those.

#
GWG aaronpk: I'm looking at that flightaware gist of yours again
#
GWG Specifically, the properties generating by it into compass, and the properties Overland sends into Compass
#
GWG Are they standardized for you?
#
aaronpk i don’t really do anything with them

#
jeremycherfas TIL about PHP's `glob()`. How very handy.
[LewisCowles] joined the channel
#
[LewisCowles] Yeah, it's a feature of *NIX systems. I use an ENV var GLOBIGNORE when scp'ing files
[tw2113] joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas I really hope I will have time this weekend to put it to work with a little idea I had.
geoffo joined the channel
#
[LewisCowles] you can use it to recursively scan folders for files, although it doesn't grow beyond light personal use very well if it's every web-request
#
jeremycherfas Much simpler than that, is my intention
hs0ucy, KartikPrabhu and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[LewisCowles] 👍 Fairly certain I was using it for my downloads page before I removed the last remnants of PHP
[prtksxna] joined the channel
#
[prtksxna] GWG: Hope these work, let me know if you need anything else 🙂
#
GWG [prtksxna]: What I need now is a better design sense.
#
[prtksxna] Is this for your plugin?
#
GWG I need to look at a bunch of weather presentations and design a widget to show it nicely.
#
GWG I keep watching my local weatherman, who is in some room in his house with an LED weather display over his right shoulder

#
[prtksxna] I thought you were kidding 😛
#
GWG [prtksxna]: Kidding about which?
#
[prtksxna] > “who is in some room in his house with an LED weather display over his right shoulder”
#
GWG [prtksxna]: Nope

[LewisCowles] oh man... GitHub actions matrix builds are easy to do too much with
#
jacky matrix builds?
#
jacky like building for different versions/types?

#
[LewisCowles] for this it was multiple compilers, but sure any set of combinations
#
[LewisCowles] 3 os's, 5 compilers
#
[LewisCowles] or more precisely 3 os's, 3 compiler families, 4 revisions of one compiler
