aaronpk whoa twitter is using HLS for videos now
#
[chrisaldrich] tomlarkworthy++ for working on adding IndieAuth to Observable. I'd love to be able to use something like that to build a personal website and have it as a public facing IndieWeb friendly notebook or /commonplace_book.
#
Loqi tomlarkworthy has 1 karma over the last year

#
jacky I forget about the perks of HLS
#
jacky it's like the chunked video streams, IIRC?
#
aaronpk yeah it means you don't have to download the whole video if you only watch a bit of it, and you can start playing it faster and easier seek to any point
#
aaronpk it also lets you provide alternate bitrates and switch between them on the fly
#
aaronpk LOL haven't seen this in a while https://instagram.com

#
petermolnar lol, that's rough
#
petermolnar I mean not even a fail whale or something
#
aaronpk interestingly it's the same failure display as in 2018, they apparently didn't change anything
#
petermolnar oh, wait, it's both whatsapp & instagram
#
aaronpk ouch
#
petermolnar now I'm curious if FB is about to follow or not
#
petermolnar or at least messenger
#
petermolnar yep, it does

#
petermolnar genious move, putting all three on the same infrastructure
#
[chrisaldrich] aaronpk, I haven't heard an update, did you get back into your locked Instagram account?
#
aaronpk nope
#
aaronpk i submitted my photo holding up the code they sent but i haven't gotten a response yet
#
aaronpk kind of frustrating that there isn't any visibility into this at all
#
aaronpk also i can't log in so i can't even export my data
#
aaronpk which feels...wrong

[chrisaldrich] Instagram-- for lack of transparency and presuming guilt in their automation
#
Loqi Instagram has -3 karma in this channel over the last year (-8 in all channels)

#
jacky how would I inform a Micropub client about the supported properties (like extensions)?
#
jacky I forget
#
aaronpk that's the config query
#
jacky hm
#
jacky I'm guessing then `slug` is a full-on property
#
jacky because I see it under the `mp-` on https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions
#
jacky that might be the thing tripping me up here
#
jacky is working on his Rust Micropub server
#
jacky it's always easier the second go around, lol
#
jacky ah okay so better question: where should I explicitly report extensions like `slug` and `visibility` from a Micropub server?
#
jacky because https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Query_for_Supported_Vocabulary kinda sounds like what I'm looking for but it's specific to post types (is it possible that the word here shouldn't be vocabulary but supported post types?)
#
jacky there's also this https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Query_for_Supported_or_Unsupported_Properties.2FQueries
#
jacky (more specifically https://github.com/indieweb/micropub-extensions/issues/8)
#
Loqi [dshanske] #8 Query for Supported Properties
#
jacky yeah, I'm looking for something, I think that's similar to what jamietanna[m] suggested with https://github.com/indieweb/micropub-extensions/issues/8#issuecomment-711365962
#
Loqi [jamietanna] I've settled on the following contract when calling `q=properties`: ```json { "properties": [ { "name": "name", "hints": [], "display-name": "Title" }, { "name": ...
#
jacky hm I'll punt on this for now - kinda hope a consensus on this is reached
#
jacky b/c I don't have a strong opinion on it but I'd like to know
