[tantek] lol "Chrome 99" is the new IE6/WindowsNT
#
[tantek] bots pretending to be browsers

#
gRegor snarfed, my last Instagram post doesn't seem to be backfeeding likes, but did get the one comment. Chrome plugin seems up to date and running, had my IG profile open in a tab for a while now.

#
gRegor angelo, indieweb.rocks is now redirecting to ragt.ag for me. Not sure if that's because I approved the TLS security warning
jacky joined the channel
#
[tantek] is that deliberate?
#
[tantek] I'd expect indieweb.rocks to go to a test suite for the IndieWeb like we do for other .rocks sites
#
[tantek] maybe to indiewebify.me for now?

#
GWG [tantek]: I checked the Firefox console when clicking SMS, it said...Prevented navigation to “sms:tantek@tantek.com” due to an unknown protocol
#
GWG Still not sure why it does so silently.
#
aaronpk Looks like no TLS cert is configured for indieweb.rocks. Also how did I not already own that one lol
#
aaronpk I think I decided indiewebify.me was already the test suite and didn't need another
#
GWG !tell [tantek] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1528305 It silently fails apparently by design.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG Wait, that's attempts using location.href. Nevermind.

#
GWG Still it seems intentional
#
GWG Okay, Google Voice does register a protocol handler for tel. But none of the other google properties do. None of the Facebook properties do. So...protocol handlers on desktop are definitely a problem
#
gRegor we talked about indieweb.rocks a bit tonight. It's some sort of stream of indieweb posts. It worked on my first load, but then I tried to go through IndieAuth sign in and ran into TLS issues and finally an error message. Since then the domain redirects for me, which is odd.
#
gRegor It's not redirecting now, but I do get Internal Server Error

#
[snarfed] gRegor: are you on v0.5.0 of the Bridgy browser extension?
#
[snarfed] odd, other people are seeing recent likes, eg https://brid.gy/instagram/chrismaverick , but I'll still take a look
#
gRegor Yeah
#
gRegor I tried the "Poll IG Now" button in the extension several days ago, don't think it caught any more
#
[snarfed] ugh, sorry. I'll keep you posted
#
gRegor ok, no worries

#
[KevinMarks] @voxpelli - looks like Chris's post is parsing the whole body into the name here: https://www.kevinmarks.com/memex.html
jacky and tetov-irc joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] Are you using an old mf2parser that puts the whole content in the name?

IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> [James_Van_Dyne] This may be interesting to you: https://alexwlchan.net/2019/10/sans-io-programming/
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> indieweb-utils deals a lot with I/O via requests but I wonder whether that is presumptuous.
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I could have a HTML file to deal with, or a WARC file with headers I need to strip, or HTML from another service like Elasticsearch with which to deal.
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I wonder whether we should split I/O and logic so that users don't *have to* make a network request to do something.

#
[snarfed]1 capjamesg++ definitely a good idea. eg it's very useful that mf2py handles both URLs, documents, and (for me especially) already-parsed BeautifulSoup objects
#
Loqi capjamesg has 33 karma in this channel over the last year (88 in all channels)
#
voxpelli [KevinMarks]: yeah, the parser should probably be updated, I added an issue for it: https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-webmentions/issues/185
#
Loqi voxpelli: [tantek] left you a message on 2022-06-14 at 7:26pm UTC: do you still have indie-config setup on your personal site and does it still work? in which browser(s)? can you update your https://indieweb.org/indie-config#IndieWeb_Examples entry accordingly?
#
Loqi [voxpelli] #185 Fix invalid parsing of mention body
#
[snarfed]1 gRegor thanks for reporting, fixed IG likes at least somewhat. It has some of yours now. Not at all though, I'm not holding my breath for completeness, scraping and all 😐
#
[tantek] still amazed that the scraping is working at all for likes
jacky joined the channel
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> [snarfed] Do you have different functions or just optional arguments for accepting a bs4/string value?
#
sknebel doc (file or string or BeautifulSoup doc): file handle, text of content to parse, or BeautifulSoup document. If None, it will be fetched from given url
#
sknebel url (string): url of the file to be processed.

GWG Anyone know of a Firefox add-on to register protocol handlers?

gRegor snarfed++ thanks! I never expect all, it's just cool this stuff mostly works :)

[James_Van_Dyne] capjamesg: Good talk that. Thanks for sharing.
jacky joined the channel
#
[James_Van_Dyne] capjamesg: Agree - it wouldn’t be a bad idea to split things up so the internal/parsing functions are taking just bare objects (a dataclass or such like) and then we have wrapper functions that can make the requests / and orchestrate a given usecase for ease of use for 95% of the time.
