[jacky] barnaby: I'm down to do that pairing thing you mentioned! I might also ask for the same with some stuff I'm working on but down to pilot yours first

#
[jacky] what is rust
#
Loqi Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety https://indieweb.org/Rust
#
[jacky] can't remember if that mf2 library was listed there that someone here is working on
#
[jacky] that dfn is a bit praise-y lol
#
aaronpk lol
#
aaronpk also no relation to indieweb
#
[jacky] at all
#
[jacky] thinks that page could be deleted until it's relevant
#
Ruxton agrees
gerben, justache, Lohn and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] now I'm curious about its history
#
[tantek] yeah I'm having a hard time seeing the IndieWeb relevance

#
[snarfed] re https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2021-06-01#t1622519376954600 , I ended up writing a tiny Cloudflare Worker. handles arbitrary file types (including video), automatically uses Cloudflare’s CDN as a cache within the free tier, hosted by Cloudflare, just 36 loc.
#
[snarfed] https://github.com/snarfed/misc/blob/main/caching-proxy/proxy.js
#
Loqi [[snarfed]] anyone know of a decent video caching proxy service? we have https://indieweb.org/image_proxy but I haven’t found any similar resources for video
#
[snarfed] working well so far

#
aaronpk neat
KartikPrabhu and [jacky] joined the channel
#
[jacky] Finally hitting the point where having a Microformats parser in Rust would be ideal.
#
[jacky] Mainly because doing post type discovery without it is _hard_ lol
#
barnaby didn’t LaBcasse[m] have a WIP one? maybe it works enough to do some basic parsing?
#
barnaby and there’s always std::Command, and your choice of external parser ;)
#
barnaby std::process::Command, rather
#
[jacky] barnaby: lol I almost did this
#
barnaby AFAIK the ruby parser and the php parser both come bundled with a command line interface
#
barnaby probably the go one as well, if you want something compiled
#
sknebel you could turn the go one into a library
#
sknebel and use that
#
sknebel or call one as an HTTP api, that IMHO makes more sense that calling a commandline one

#
[jacky] I don't know Golang that well tbh
#
[jacky] I remember trying to learn it and it reminded me so much of Perl, I had to stop
#
barnaby I briefly tried learning it years ago, made a little IRC bot but didn’t get on with it very well. more recently, I realised that rust was actually what I was looking for, it just didn’t exist/was in early infancy at the time
#
[snarfed] Go reminded you of Perl?!
#
[snarfed] funny

Zegnat barnaby: re -meta; hmm, yeah, no title: http://xray.p3k.io/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwaterpigs.co.uk%2Fnotes%2F5DNF1L%2F&pretty=true
#
barnaby yeah, looks like it’s due to these lines https://github.com/aaronpk/XRay/blob/main/lib/XRay/Formats/Mf2.php#L417
#
barnaby aaronpk: indeed ^^^ ;)
#
aaronpk that's there mainly because of the legacy implied name parsing rules
#
barnaby I guess that’s what comes from trying to shoehorn a name in where it doesn’t really belong
#
barnaby fortunately there’s an easy workaround
#
barnaby there, that should look better than “a post” in the newsletter now
#
aaronpk it looks the same to me still
#
barnaby yep. I tricked indienews
#
barnaby it displays properly there now https://news.indieweb.org/en/waterpigs.co.uk/notes/5DNF1L/
#
Loqi [waterpigs.co.uk] New #indieweb libraries: taproot/micropub-adapter and taproot/indieauth!
#
Zegnat Interesting. So what XRay is doing is basically cutting out a mf2 parsing thing
#
[jacky] snarfed: I know - everyone laughs at me when I say that
#
[jacky] The Rust library on GitLab seems to work well for my use cases (the interface's a little rough but patches are welcome)
#
aaronpk Zegnat: the algorithm is documented somewhere on the wiki I forget where
#
barnaby is the recommendation to no longer use p-name e-content for notes? I noticed that the implied name parsing got a bit more selective since I was last working on mf2 stuff
#
aaronpk The reason for putting p-name on notes was because name was an automatically generated implied property which would end up with a mess of content if you didn't put it on the e-content property
#
aaronpk we changed the implied parsing rules to no longer make a mess of things in those cases so there's no need for a p-name property on notes anymore
#
aaronpk in other words including it on notes was always a hack around the mf2 parser
#
barnaby makes sense
#
barnaby the new implied parsing rules are definitely an improvement
#
barnaby in theory I like the idea of being able to guarantee that every mf structure has a name property, but in practise it was usually a mess
#
[jacky] yeah
#
[jacky] tbh the want for that for me was to insure that there's a page title lol
#
aaronpk turns out sometimes things just don't have titles
#
[jacky] heh

#
aaronpk [snarfed] granary broke for one of my twitter lists that I renamed, do you have any idea how i can fix it? it's returning "not found" for both the old name and the new name now
#
aaronpk i also tried with the list ID and it doesn't work either
#
aaronpk wait, it's just not working at all with any list
#
aaronpk this is weird, actually a couple work, but most don't
#
aaronpk also i don't understand what's going on here https://i.imgur.com/Iw4Rxzu.png
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] aaronpk hmm! sorry for the trouble, will look
#
[snarfed] does it work if you put the username in explicitly?
#
aaronpk like instead of "@me"?
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
aaronpk no that doesn't seem to change anything
#
[snarfed] hmm ok, will look. what’s an example? aaronpk/okta?
#
aaronpk that one is working
#
aaronpk the "youtubers" list doesn't work
#
[snarfed] thx
#
[snarfed] also i expect you saw the token in that screenshot and revoked it
#
aaronpk did i not black out enough of it?
#
[snarfed] oh yeah you blacked out part of the token key, maybe that’s enough
#
[snarfed] aaronpk is the youtubers list not public? I don’t see it on https://twitter.com/aaronpk/lists
#
aaronpk it is not public, correct
#
aaronpk but also neither is the okta list
#
[snarfed] not satisfying but I may have to blame the twitter API. https://api.twitter.com/1.1/lists/statuses.json?slug=youtubers&owner_screen_name=aaronpk&… is returning 404 with body {“errors”:[{“code”:34,“message”:“Sorry, that page does not exist.“}]}
#
aaronpk wow
#
[snarfed] and https://api.twitter.com/1.1/lists/statuses.json?slug=okta&owner_screen_name=aaronpk&... returned 200 with data
#
aaronpk is there a way to give it the list ID instead of the name?
#
[snarfed] the API? maybe? I can look. not sure that would help though
#
aaronpk i'm assuming something broke when i renamed the list, so my theory is giving it the list ID might work
#
[snarfed] ah maybe
#
aaronpk sounds like my best bet is probably to just re-create the list from scratch
#
[snarfed] looks like yes that endpoint can take an id: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/accounts-and-users/create-manage-lists/api-reference/get-lists-statuses
#
[snarfed] feel free to try, twurl is easy. if it works i can take that as a feature request
#
[snarfed] disappointing if that works, but 🤷 would fit with the legacy (“standard”) API being effectively deprecated, just on a very long time scale
