#
[LewisCowles] I forked a script to add flavour, but GitHub not allowing deletion of `master` by default, means there is a manual action preventing the script from working as I'd like it to.

#
[LewisCowles] If anyone is more wizz at this, please fork improve and link back. I think this is already more instructive than the original

#
jacky I linked a script that made use of the GitHub API
#
jacky I don't have it anymore tho lol

#
[LewisCowles] interestingly it looks like I only need the last curl call and some guard to check GITHUB_TOKEN is passed. So if I do that before deleting the old branch it should fix what I have and allow the git / github side of renaming. Hard part is that right now my script works for any git, not just github...
#
[LewisCowles] 😂 callbacks in bash can be a thing right?
gRegorLove and moppy joined the channel
#
jacky lol I have no idea
#
jacky actually perhaps lol
#
jacky bash has a concept of maps
#
jacky and you could use that to build up a known set of functions to call
#
[LewisCowles] I was more thinking allowing a user to specify a script to call in-between so I get separation
#
[LewisCowles] I think check if a positional argument is set, if it is and it is a path to a file try to `. ${file}` I wonder if that is a problem for bash... I only want the github part and it could be more about organisation than anything else

#
[LewisCowles] looks like that gist is now a repo, so I've sent a PR to fix one of the issues the author highlighted. Was fun spelunking github API. I've rarely used it prior, but it seems to at least fit my brain patterns
#
[LewisCowles] is this too technical to share on indieweb channel or chat the usage. Should I blog this?
#
[LewisCowles] I was able to use that script to change default branch on all my repo's in a fraction of the time it took to alter that script yesterday

@jgmac1106 I just proposed a session on webmention badges and gamification for #IndieWeb Online West #OpenBadges : https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/06/14/i-just-proposed-a-session-on-webmention-badges-and-gamification (twitter.com/_/status/1272123374106542081)

#
@isellsoap On June 12 I asked @gRegorLove a question on Twitter. Today he responded, and he did so via his blog and with the help of webmentions, which pinged Bridgy to syndicate his response to Twitter. The result on Twitter is a usual conversation. After that I… https://francescoschwarz.com/notes/2020-06-14-15-53-08/ (twitter.com/_/status/1272173021785096192)

@u_219d ↩️ in other news, changing my twitter handle totally broke http://brid.gy (twitter.com/_/status/1272145638352969729)

#
[snarfed] ^ yuuup https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/766
#
Loqi [snarfed] #766 handle when usernames change
#
aaronpk aw
#
aaronpk my sunday morning activity is deleting all my facebook posts
#
[snarfed] curious how it "broke" though. the issue is just that bridgy doesn't automatically notice and update its own account. you can still sign up with the new username manually, and it works o,, which they ^ did https://brid.gy/twitter/u_219d
#
[snarfed] aaronpk++ ooh you're pulling the trigger on soft-silo-quit?
#
Loqi aaronpk has 61 karma in this channel over the last year (225 in all channels)
#
[snarfed] ah, "silo purge" https://indieweb.org/silo-quits#Purging_Rather_Than_Quitting
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] [snarfed] No trigger pulling please. It is a trigger for [tantek]. 😀
#
aaronpk i'm also writing up some pretty detailed notes
#
[snarfed] [jeremycherfas] good point, thanks for the nudge
#
[snarfed] not easy to change language muscle memory
#
aaronpk for some reason IFTTT isn't showing up in the list of connected apps on facebook :(
#
aaronpk even though i just reconnected it too
swentel joined the channel
#
aaronpk also interesting to see how facebook rewrites history when you're blocked by someone
#
aaronpk things like "posted on a timeline" instead of how it normally shows the person's name
#
aaronpk oh gosh https://media.aaronpk.com/Screen-Shot-2020-06-14-10-37-55-vy80VgM3NJ.jpg

#
b3u How would you go about getting webmentions displayed frontend?
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] Depending on what you're using to receive them there are javascript snippets to insert them in your page
#
[KevinMarks] Or you can build them in server side

Loqi facebook has -1 karma in this channel over the last year (-4 in all channels)

#
binyam_in Has anyone managed to get webmentions working frontend?
#
binyam_in [KevinMarks] Sorry, i was fighting with irc for the last 45 minutes
#
binyam_in I'm using webmentions.io
#
[KevinMarks] There's a handy script for embedding those https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js

#
jacky tbh that question is making me think that I might need to homogenize the API for getting Webmentions from Lighthouse to be similar to webmention.io
#
jacky like I don't wanna make lock-in at all
#
jacky but I do want to provide a styling snippet (more like a Custom Element) to do this work for people
#
jacky might just make it for webmention.io to test it out first
#
[KevinMarks] I did that with mention.tech too. Maybe we should document it formally.
#
jacky yup
#
nekr0z looks like webmention.io doesn't quite love unicode - still: https://webmention.io/evgenykuznetsov.org/webmention/jnPFye24QovreOF8jDM7
#
aaronpk weird i thought i fixed that
#
aaronpk oh it looks like there's another place i need to change it
#
nekr0z aaronpk: it refused to accept at all, now it accepts but doesn't process, so this should be at another point, yeah
