[chrisaldrich] I had a relatively open Known install that attracted a lot of spam users who wanted to spam the site. It had an approval flag that required manual verification. Perhaps an "application" form with a honeypot field for the bots may help filter things even if only after the fact?
#
[chrisaldrich] I'll have to see if mine is in robots txt to see if that helps.

@jackyalcine Going to spend tonight working on making a native IndieWeb app for GNOME in Rust. Doesn't have to do anything fancy—baseline logic would be signing in to a site's IndieAuth client, confirming what scopes were approved and showing the provided profile and… https://jacky.wtf/2022/6/i4m_ (twitter.com/_/status/1532904448531566593)

[Scott_Jack] Just discovered the html tag <details>
#
[Scott_Jack] I think it might be useful for my Reading page. I can put a general review in the nested <summary> followed by spoiler-type info. Readers have to click to see the non-summary

rhiaro hey aaronpk! after all these years I'm still directly embedding atlas static maps, but it's been throwing an error for a little while.. https://atlas.p3k.io/map/img?marker[]=lat:45.5165;lng:-122.6764;icon:small-blue-cutout&basemap=gray&width=600&height=240&zoom=14

Loqi rhiaro: tantek left you a message on 2020-02-12 at 6:25pm UTC: tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of the closing of the W3C Social Web Working Group! https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg if you have any particular updates regarding SocialWG/IndieWeb specifications that you worked on or implemented, consider this a good time to post about

#
aaronpk I just noticed that too rhiaro
#
aaronpk I wonder if the tile server I was using finally changed
#
rhiaro aaronpk: ah, this? https://github.com/aaronpk/Static-Maps-API-PHP/issues/5
#
aaronpk Oh yeah maybe
#
aaronpk I'll see if I can fix it this morning
#
rhiaro so efficient :D
#
rhiaro I hope all is well with you!

#
aaronpk GWG are you still using the static maps API library?
#
aaronpk I just realized that it's been 8 years with no commits because I've switched over to using Atlas for everything
#
aaronpk i want to just delete that repo since it's so old
#
GWG aaronpk: I am using my fork.... would you want to transfer it to me?
#
GWG And I'll maintain my forked version with credit?
#
GWG It doesn't need much attention
#
aaronpk ah sure. you'll want to fix this tile URL issue
#
GWG aaronpk: I may have in my fork already.
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Atlas/commit/f137f8ebb3ccfa261e552f7db17beed8087d16b1 and https://github.com/aaronpk/Atlas/commit/c930264c452efe8503b5c1ce37d20287db11a60a
#
GWG I forget, if you have a repository and someone forked it, then you transfer it to them, what happens?
#
GWG Also, if you delete, what happens to the fork?
#
aaronpk since it's public, if i delete it then all the forks remain
#
aaronpk ah i see you already have the https URLs in there
#
GWG aaronpk: I forget how long ago I made all those changes and backported some stuff, but it was a while ago
#
aaronpk i also just got a SSRF report filed on it for accepting URLs as parameters
#
aaronpk i'm going to change it to only allow URLs for icons and things if you provide an access token in the request, that way i can lock that down but still have the feature
#
aaronpk you'll probably want to do something similar
#
GWG I was considering adding a token, but I never figured out a nice simple way to do so. I like the simplicity of the code
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Atlas/issues/8
#
GWG I'll be following it.
#
GWG And I'll likely make a few more tweaks.

#
GWG aaronpk: Is anyone other than me using the old one, do you think? And evne I'm only using a fork of it?
#
GWG aaronpk: If I'm willing to take the repo, can you merge my PR from my fork, then transfer it? And I'll take full responsibility then?
ShinyCyril and jacky joined the channel
#
aaronpk that would work
#
aaronpk i assume at least one other person is using it since they filed an issue on it about the broken URLs
#
aaronpk GWG: ok I merged your PR, I can transfer it now when you're ready
#
GWG I'm ready... what do I need to do?
#
GWG I've never received a repository before
#
aaronpk i think maybe just move the current fork out of the way? you should get an email once i click this
#
GWG I could just delete the fork
#
aaronpk sure i guess there's nothing useful in it
#
GWG You merged it all
#
GWG Okay. Deleted. Transfer away
#
aaronpk ok, request sent, you should see an email to approve it
#
GWG aaronpk: I promise to treat it like it was my own.
#
aaronpk 👍
#
GWG And now, back to Webmentions. I have facepile settings to write

#
aaronpk interesting, i wonder what SSRF protections google has in place for their version of this https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/start#CustomIcons
#
aaronpk you can also provide icon URLs to them

aaronpk rhiaro: maps should be all fixed up now!
ShinyCyril joined the channel
#
rhiaro thanks aaronpk!!
#
rhiaro I'm going to start caching them locally at some point..
#
aaronpk that would be preferable yes :)
#
aaronpk i actually started doing that myself a while ago. well not "caching" so much as actually storing locally
#
aaronpk treating it more like a generator for a map image than a dynamic service
#
aaronpk so all the images from my rides and such are actually png files on disk now https://aaronparecki.com/2022/06/01/30/map.png
#
aaronpk which does mean that older maps might look different because i used different map tiles https://aaronparecki.com/2017/05/24/17/map.png
#
aaronpk i could regenerate them but i think i'm okay with that
cybi joined the channel
#
rhiaro yeah that's what I meant
#
rhiaro I mean, I've been meaning to do this for years... this might have been enough of a nudge
#
aaronpk that is how i feel about a lot of my website's todo list

#
[KevinMarks] Depending on when new buildings happen older tiles may make more sense too.
#
[KevinMarks] Have you seen the CycleOSM tiles? Handy for biking maps as they have very clear contour lines.
#
aaronpk oh neat, and they have the bike streets named too
jacky joined the channel
#
aaronpk their tile server is very slow

[snarfed] ok aaronpk, fixed some bugs in the granary Instagram scraped endpoint, should be ready now
#
[snarfed] renamed the granary endpoint to /scraped , and the IG profile JSON you want is https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/users/web_profile_info/?username=...

GWG aaronpk, rhiaro: I actually cache them for days using an nginx fastcgi cache

@TerribleMia I set up the initial infrastructure for webmentions on my personal site, but it's hard to test without any mentions? I guess I have to post something on my personal site worth mentioning? But that sounds like work? (twitter.com/_/status/1533194987067699200)

@sil ↩️ you may want to look at https://brid.gy/ which counts twitter (and other) mentions of a page as a webmention for it, in the small interim before you get a chance to write something else cool for people to mention directly! (twitter.com/_/status/1533197136623554561)

@AmeliasBrain ↩️ Mia, you're over-thinking this. Post an blog post with title "New: Webmentions support!". Content: a 1-2 sentence definition / link to definition of what they are, and "To test it out, link to this post from [list of supporting platforms], and your comment will appear below!"

@kevinmarks ↩️ Head over to http://chat.indieweb.org and you'll find people ready to send you webmentions (twitter.com/_/status/1533201216037076995)
