yep! actually looks like this isn't actually the latest version that's in the print book. I think I'm still due to update that site from the book changes from feb

looota copy paste work

lahacker
so that allizom.org URL isn't supposed to be resolved, it's used to pass back through the firewall if you will and then be parsed manually for the code appended to it
#
lahacker
and it works!

@Cambridgeport90
@wchadly Had a question for you. I need to reply on it with a webmention, but do you see Blazer as a viable framework for writing IndieWeb components? #DOTNET needs some.

#
lahacker
but the flow works entirely as expected
#
lahacker
now how to handle client_id...
#
aaronpk
the idea with the client_id is that it's a web page about the app, so you could use either the extension's actual URL on the mozilla store, or you could host your own web page about it
#
lahacker
yeah.. not sure exactly how the app ID's work but i'm getting a consistent hash prefix for that magic URL after hardcoding an app ID in manifest.. wondering what happens if someone else uses the same id
#
aaronpk
no i mean like the actual store url for it
#
lahacker
if there's enough consistency it seems Mozilla could be asked to include a link header; in the actual store URL
#
lahacker
as it stands the server side should warn of the different domains between addons.mozilla.org and sdfjkhewrkj.extensions.allizom.org redirect_uri?
#
lahacker
if i use the store URL as the client_id
#
lahacker
ok "You cannot change your UUID once it has been submitted."
#
lahacker
i wonder what it'd take to get mozilla to add a link header to their addon page for the computed redirect_uri and an appropriate h-app

↩️ I think Blazor is fine for writing the frontend components for indie stuff. Most of the implementation meat is on the server unless you use something like http://webmention.io (like I did). I think it would be great to get some Blazor love for the indie world.

I just added a function to estimate cloudiness based on average solar radiation for the last hour compared to clear sky radiation for the same period.

I just need a cloudy day

Thought this quick post by PRL (also in meta) was pretty funny; https://paulrobertlloyd.com/2021/01/disagreement/

GWG
[tantek]: I store everything in one set of units. I just have code that changes it for display.
#
GWG
I just updated it to be a bit more robust, and added a query string that you can pass through to change it back on any page
#
GWG
And for my weather stations, which are statically generated, a subdirectory
#
[tantek]
what are units
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "units" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "units is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
what is measurement
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "measurement" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "measurement is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
hmm, where to do you document your implementation for all your measurement capturing GWG?
#
GWG
At the moment, in PHP Docblocks. But I should add something to the wiki as well on it.
#
GWG
Especially after my unsuccessful attempt to calculate cloudiness using a lux sensor and a bunch of math
#
[tantek]
what is weather?
#
Loqi
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc https://indieweb.org/weather
#
GWG
[tantek]: I will have to add some stuff since the last time I thought about it.
#
GWG
Maybe will do that before I head over to review planning

↩️ I do not want everything in the Agora. I want the [[Agora]] to link to everything, and to do pubsub with other sites -- to [[pull]] from each other when the users want to. Webmentions, shared annotations, RDF. I'm ramping up still though :)
