aaronpk ugh i need tag aliases on my website so i can combine multiple tags into a single one
#
aaronpk i apparently swap at random between tagging things "3dprint" and "3dprinting" and i'd really like those to be considered the same tag
#
GWG aaronpk: I have tag merging I use.
#
GWG But that eliminates tags
#
GWG aaronpk: While you are here, does Aperture store feeds per user?
#
GWG I was thinking about your use case yesterday. If you added private feeds to your system, then wouldn't other people in Aperture get them if you use the same store?
#
aaronpk it knows which users are subscribed to which feed, so i would have to treat feeds fetched with authentication as a completely separate feed per user

@sprucekhalifa I'm currently working on an article about webmentions in @GatsbyJS + I created my own plugin as I wasn't successful with others The article would be for absolute beginners #100DaysOfCode (twitter.com/_/status/1414469013158043653)

capjamesg Curious: do you let search engines crawl your feed pages (i.e. /blog/2, /blog/3, or whatever)
#
capjamesg Search << https://superuser.com/questions/7327/how-to-add-a-custom-search-engine-to-firefox
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://superuser.com/questions/7327/how-to-add-a-custom-search-engine-to-firefox" to the "See Also" section of /2012/Open_Real_Time_Search_Engine https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=76408&oldid=60898
#
capjamesg What is Search?
#
Loqi search in the context of the IndieWeb refers to being able to search your personal site for your own content https://indieweb.org/search
#
sknebel capjamesg: that's a non-intuitive bug in Loqi - capitalization matters in that case due to how it finds pages :/

#
capjamesg Thanks sknebel.
#
capjamesg I didn't know that.
#
capjamesg Does anyone syndicate their wiki contributions to their blog?
#
capjamesg Just curious.

jeremycherfas Can anyone explain what would make a file readable on one machine (iMac) and not on another (MBA)? (Asking here because it is so much friendlier) Background: I save log files to Dropbox for later analysis. On my laptop, when I open the file in BBEDIT, the whole thing is upside down red question marks. On the iMac, perfectly legible.
#
jeremycherfas I suppose it must be something about BBEDIT's settings, but I'm not sure where to look. Thanks.

#
[snarfed] jeremycherfas: probably character encoding. run `file [filename]` and see which encoding it’s in. if it’s not ascii or utf-*, you’re going to have a bad time
#
jeremycherfas ASCII text
#
jeremycherfas That's why I think it isn't the file, but BBEDIT.

#
[KevinMarks] Check bbedits prefs, it may have picked the wrong encoding when opening the file
#
[KevinMarks] There is a default encoding to assume

rockorager re: ticketauth and the client_id issue....if the ticket/access_token is given to a site and not a client, then a client would need to request existing access_tokens on behalf of the site to be able to e.g. retrieve a private feed? Am I understanding that right?
#
jeremycherfas I just checked on the MBA, and there the file is `data`. And that I find exceedingly odd, as it ought to be the same file in Dropbox.
#
aaronpk rockorager: good question! that could be one way to handle it, but right now it's not modeled that way
capjamesg and rockorager joined the channel
#
rockorager How is it modeled now?
#
rockorager (if there is a model yet :) )

GWG rockorager: Expectation of internal integration until we model it

#
[jacky] okay so I'm like at the point with https://git.jacky.wtf/indieweb/sele where if someone ran it themselves, they'd be able to get a IndieAuth server for like multiple sites (or just one, that's how I use it), see which apps they've authorized and see when tokens will expire. I'm thinking more now about how to add something for TicketAuth (after I clean up some tests) and how to potentially add logic to help build something for audience
#
[jacky] lists
#
[jacky] I saw/view "audience lists" as a only-visible-to-you list of h-cards or URLs (guess it could be a 'stubbed h-card') of people who can view a particular post but I was kinda wondering if such a list could be extrapolated from one's Microsub server instead (by pulling the authors of the feeds in a channel)
#
[jacky] Does anyone have something similar to this or thoughts around this approach? Would like to pool some thoughts on it. I feel like [fluffy], you have something similar in Authl?
#
[fluffy] Authl only handles login, the actual access control is a function of Publ. And in Publ there’s a config file which declares access control lists and then individual entries can reference those lists.
#
[fluffy] There’s no h-card involvement for any of that.
#
sknebel [jacky]: not sure how that'd link to a microsub server. I guess you could take feeds from there as suggestions? but generally, "I follow this feed" does not mean any meaningful trust level for me
#
[jacky] Yeah, mainly for suggestions tbh, I was wondering about a good place to 'prime' such feeds from
#
[jacky] [fluffy] gotcha, hm
#
[jacky] Okay, I might be playing with some green-field stuff here then lol
#
[fluffy] Having an integration point between microsub and publish ACLs would be interesting. I don’t think it’d fit Publ’s overall model especially since Publ itself tries to be pretty IndieWeb-agnostic (ticket auth is technically the only indieweb-specific thing it has in the code directly but it’d make a lot of sense for a more indieweb-specific social stack.

#
[jacky] Yeah! I think it might reinforce a "you should be able to align a channel to people you want to share with" but not completely force it

@blaine @ccrrccrccrr RSS was never meaningfully two-way. A lot of the indieweb stuff is effectively about adding that, though. (twitter.com/_/status/1413680665036427264)
#
Loqi ok, I added "Beyond RSS: https://twitter.com/blaine/status/1413680665036427264" to the "See Also" section of /RSS https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=76413&oldid=75302
#
[tantek] blaine++ for that summary criticism of RSS "was never meaningfully two-way"
