# 00:14 [snarfed] mblaney ah, bridgy needs the same web site in your FB profile that you IndieAuth with. looks like you authed with mblaney.xyz, and your FB profile has unicyclic.com
# 00:16 mblaney ah forgot to update my domain on facebook. done and fixed, thanks!
# 00:20 mblaney I've been meaning to take a look at switching facebook-atom to mbasic domain, have you looked at that at all?
# 00:36 mblaney awesome! I'm getting a 429 at the moment but will have a look at it later
# 02:01 mblaney looks like I've been fetching content from facebook-atom but the html structure is different on mbasic
# 02:01 mblaney so I need to update my own rules about where to pull the content from

# 13:07 sebsel lol, tweet mentions webmentions twice, so we got it twice?

# 14:37 [snarfed] bridgy has supported webmention discovery via header pretty much forever. the issue you’re seeing is that it requires a 2xx response, so it’s giving up on your 401.
# 14:38 [snarfed] aaronpk i looked through the spec a bit but couldn’t tell whether endpoint discovery should still succeed on non-2xx response. do you know?
# 14:43 sknebel no spec justification, but I'd argue that if the receiver chooses to link an endpoint from a 4xx page, they have a reason to mean that
# 14:44 aaronpk Yeah interesting that we didn't think to mention it in the spec specifically
# 14:45 aaronpk but I don't see any reason discovery should be ignored on a 4xx response like sknebel said
# 14:47 [snarfed] i guess yeah. i just expect that happens a lot right now, and if i start attempting them all, 99% of those attempts will also fail
# 14:47 sknebel (I guess "login required", request-origin-dependent "blocked for legal reasons", ... are cases were a human might very well see a post, reply to it, but their WM sender then might get an error page)
# 14:47 sknebel I guess that's something you could collect numbers on for a bit?
# 14:49 [snarfed] yeah. and the numbers probably still don’t matter, i should just make all those attempts anyway
# 16:06 aaronpk Whoa I got a webmention from Facebook (I assume via bridgy) but I haven't set up bridgy for Facebook yet
# 16:06 aaronpk unless the extension auto updated and it just started working automatically
# 16:07 [snarfed] the extension is dumb and the server does all the work, deliberate design choice so i could update easier. which i did just now 😎
# 16:07 [snarfed] specifically updated scraping to handle life event posts like yours a bit better
# 16:08 [snarfed] and you did set it up, right? ie you installed the extension and indieauthed
# 16:10 [snarfed] you don’t have to do anything per-silo to set it up, just indieauth once
# 16:11 aaronpk possibly...? I can't find the bridgy link for it because of how it works on my end
# 16:11 aaronpk oh you know what, i think it might be just a mention of my home page
# 16:11 Loqi [Justin C. Houk] I respect you choice.
# 16:12 aaronpk okay yeah i'm surprised that's just an @-mention of my home page
# 16:13 aaronpk that story.php link doesn't seem to work on facebook either
# 16:13 [snarfed] sigh yeah that life event post type still isn’t handled ideally
# 16:14 aaronpk ah right i didn't post that to my website at all, so there's no post of mine to reply to
# 16:14 [snarfed] why surprised at the mention though? it’s in the text, right?
# 16:14 aaronpk i just haven't used facebook in so long i forgot what i did with that post
# 16:16 [snarfed] yeah that’s what i’ve seen w/most of the browser extension users so far 😆

# 18:57 [fluffy] [snarfed] ah, makes sense. But mentions to 401s will be very important for supporting private posts in general. Could there be an exception for that? For that matter I feel like any error page which declares an endpoint should still be consisted a valid target.
# 18:58 [fluffy] Like consider a mention to a page that returns an error due to a transitory problem
# 19:27 jacky not to talk ill of them but it looks more complicated than I expected
# 19:31 jacky like the reinvention of status codes kinda made this more than needed
# 19:31 jacky kinda interesting in implementing it on my site but at the same time, nah
# 19:32 jacky also fixed the URL thing re: streams on my site

# 19:57 aaronpk i've gotta figure out why fpm just randomly stops working
# 20:14 sknebel does it crash and not get properly restarted, or does it "hang" in some way?
# 20:21 aaronpk when there's the "bad gateway" error and i look at the process list, all the fpm processes are still running

# 21:16 jacky I wanted to check if my h-card on my site is 'valid' per the representative h-card chec
# 21:16 jacky but it doesn't seem to fly (mainly b/c fed.brid.gy can't find it so I think it's me)
# 21:26 jacky random: does the exposure of one's rel-me links in one's h-card help with anything?
# 21:27 jacky but I'm curious if there's anything else it helps with
# 21:27 Loqi Using rel=me on a hyperlink indicates that its destination represents the same person or entity as the current page, which is a key building-block of web-sign-in and IndieAuth https://indieweb.org/rel-me
# 21:29 jacky right I think that's what I was addressing w.r.t rel-me auth
# 21:29 jacky but I don't see anything else it's handy for
# 21:33 jacky this could be the thing I was looking for re: linking to a feed that's like just the Webmentions of a particular post 👀
# 21:34 jacky but yeah, I kinda don't see the extra value-add _just yet_
# 21:36 [KevinMarks] well, ages ago bradfitz built a crawler for all the xfn values, so you could query it for related accounts and friend links etc too, but it got deprecated
# 21:37 jacky but what does finding 'related' accounts actually do?
# 21:37 jacky but like what from that is actually useful?
# 21:40 [snarfed] something we still largely haven’t cracked in the indieweb
# 21:44 jacky I don't think it's immediately clicking for me
# 21:45 [KevinMarks] it made more obvious sense when we tended to have multiple accounts on different sites rather than a couple of giant silos
# 21:46 jacky spotify, xbox, instagram, facebook, twitter, (more niche: last.fm, trakt), tiktok etc
# 21:46 [KevinMarks] so you'd have photos on flickr and short notes on twitter and a blog and music plays on last fm and so on, and they did actually use the rel=me links

# 21:53 [KevinMarks] plus a lot of detail on how it actually needs some messy code to canoniclize the links

# 23:42 btrem Is there a place to get demo webmentions json to test rendering? What I see on webmentions.io is json for a single url, but the code I borrowed from sia.codes gets webmentions for a site and filters, and it's screwing up, and I really need test data.
