[Jamie_Tanna] I'm actually writing a post at the moment about how I learned Go 😁 it's only been for the last few months I've been doing it, but quite liking it. I'm writing https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/micropub-go/ and am also going to write a server interface so folks need to implement much less themselves

@laike9m Webmention looks interesting

xyzzydev[m] <AramZ-S[m]> "xyzzy.dev that's interesting. I..." <- tally-ho is neat! I like go just for its deployment simplicity, which together with wordpress and mac has a folder / file based deployment model. This weekend I had the luck of using AppImage and now I think a simple deployment model can also work for python. It boggles my mind that AppImage has not been made mainstream yet.

[schmarty] for folks running streams through OwnCast (i know of jacky and aaronpk): do you leave the instance up and running all the time, or bring it up when you stream and tear it down after?
jacky joined the channel
# [schmarty] feels like that adds up over time! i guess you do a decent amount of streaming, though.
# [schmarty] based on the (vague) advice in the docs that "the more CPU you can provide, the better quality and flexibility you’ll have in the end" I am thinking about setting one up to tinker and then automating that process so i can shut it down between streams.
# [schmarty] ah yeah that makes sense. i guess i could pretty easily put mine on my home server and use the external storage setup to host the actual content on B2 or whatever.
# [schmarty] have you written up or done a video on your general owncast setup? i am a little stuck on the flexibility like how many quality levels are worth doing to start.
# [schmarty] lol the docs boil down to: 1. get as much CPU as you can. 2. play with things until you get a good stream quality that doesn't knock the box over. 3. if you have leftover CPU and want to add another stream, try it, and good luck!
# [schmarty] ooh /OwnCast#IndieWeb_Examples shows you run multiple instances? any special setup there or just multiple separate owncast instances on different ports w/ a proxy in front for each?

# [schmarty] aaronpk++ thanks for letting me pick your brain!
# [schmarty] haha and thanks for the reminder to try indieauth! i just tried to sign into watch.owncast.online with my site which (still) uses indieauth.com as my auth endpoint and owncast didn't like the form-encoded response. :zany_face:
# [schmarty] conneg-- but maybe owncast would be open to a patch adding an Accept header 😮
# [schmarty] haha emoji keyboard oops there. It's not so shocking an idea

# [schmarty] I have lost track of the status of that in the spec 😅
# [schmarty] Hoo wow

vikanezrimaya aaronpk: re IndieAuth form-encoded: my wip solution will use JSON everywhere since I actually haven't noticed any mentions of form-encoded data anywhere when transcribing the spec. Did we not drop it already? Have I just not noticed it?
# vikanezrimaya I'm not even sure my software would accept form-encoded data at this point... oh no...
jacky joined the channel
# vikanezrimaya this might be a little troublesome, since if I have to accept form-encoded requests, I might need to mess around with body extractors and parsing content types before parsing the body
# vikanezrimaya while it's fairly trivial for someone like me, who's already familiar with custom body parsing logic of my framework, I would prefer to devote my time to something that's actually useful.
jacky joined the channel
# vikanezrimaya oh crap, I might've actually misread the spec. I assumed that a grant request will be JSON, but there is actually nothing that specifies its content-type in the IndieAuth spec itself.
# vikanezrimaya aaronpk: is this another thing we've delegated to the oauth spec? I had to refefence it more than I did years ago when implementing my first IndieAuth solution.
# vikanezrimaya ah, I see. I'll need to double check my body handlers, then.
# 
aaronpk it looks like we don't have an explicit mention of the encoding, since that's from OAuth, but the examples are form-encoded https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/#request
# vikanezrimaya that's actually easier than expecting to parse content-type. But I see that the responses are actually mandated to be JSON.
# vikanezrimaya So I suppose the form-encoded response requirement might've been dropped somewhere in between versions.
# vikanezrimaya at least the access token grant is specifically mentioned to be JSON, and all the other examples describe JSON responses
# vikanezrimaya oof, that's a long time!
# vikanezrimaya good, I don't like form-encoded

# vikanezrimaya wasn't 2017 actually my school graduation and the year I went to college? or was it 2018 or 2019?

[tantek] I think this is worth sharing here publicly: https://twitter.com/bettynixx/status/1551945788045017088 (h/t jacky)

@bettynixx I’ve seen a significant drop in photo reach so supporting photos can’t really be happening. The shift to becoming like TikTok is very apparent and IG is losing it uniqueness. Nothing is chronological about seeing 3 day old posts on home feeds. https://twitter.com/mosseri/status/1551890839584088065 (twitter.com/_/status/1551945788045017088)
# vikanezrimaya ugh, I don't remember and I don't wanna revisit that topic
# vikanezrimaya [tantek]: Instagram is becoming more annoying every day. Good thing I'm using a hacked client, at least there are no ads.
# vikanezrimaya Also a photo-focused reader sounds like a nice idea. But surely we don't need to create new apps, maybe create alternative views for readers we already have? I believe a software I used before, Together, had different feed modes for different purposes, like a map for showing latest check-ins from people in the feed channel.
# vikanezrimaya I like that philosophy
# vikanezrimaya uuuuu I wanna go try my hand at implementing microsub, but I need to finish the IndieAuth implementation first to even dream of implementing it...
# vikanezrimaya because I will need advanced scope management to plug in microsub clients
# vikanezrimaya (i.e. an ability to allow and deny arbitrary scopes, not just accepting and denying whole authorization requests)
# vikanezrimaya I already implemented it once, and I will be able to do it again, I am sure of it
# vikanezrimaya I don't wanna do html though 😭 I think Rust has made me complacent
# vikanezrimaya I have to hack on the templates now and I feel all gloomy
# vikanezrimaya it's the only thing that's left there, aside from writing glue code to persist tokens and grant codes
# vikanezrimaya (but I'm saving that one for last, because it's very quick and doesn't require much thought - I've created a nice abstraction for it)

# vikanezrimaya I agree that it is pretty, and I would love to see (or maybe even implement) the same UX in a proper free software social reader

# [tantek] instead of waiting for "someone" to make a "proper free software social reader", we can all make all those UX improvements on our own /homepage /composite_stream views on mobile/narrow displays
