aaronpk Well here's my post if it helps you troubleshoot. I have 3 micro.blog icons with all the permalinks of its copies https://aaronparecki.com/2023/03/22/45/tokyo

# prologic [manton] I have the same problem now too, how do we reconsile that (for example) that https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/ (profile page, AP actor) and https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt (Twtxt feed) and even @prologic@twtxt.net are all the same identity?
# prologic I have have to adjust mention filters to account for the fact I could be mentioned via my AP endpoint or Twtxt feed or both
# prologic Also on another note, I guess you're still not seeing my @-mentions from my pod to your micro.blog actor inbox?

# prologic Q: Is it reasonable to assume (and even correct) that an actor's Inbox, for example, https://example.com/users/johndoe can be mapped back to a Web Finger discoverable account/address of johndoe@example.com ? 🤔
# prologic I think its become pretty pseudo-standard though right?
# prologic I mean pretty much every Mastodon server out there and pretty much every AP implemtnation supports webfinger lookups

# k1 Hi. Just wanted to chime in that I love this chat client! Do you have the source code published? Also, it would be great if it handled security exceptions and popped up a message that you need to have cookies enabled.

[jamietanna] Looks like https://github.com/indieweb/chat.indieweb.org/ is the source code k1, feel free to raise an issue / PR, always happy to improve what we've got 👏

# k1 Thank you, I was looking for it all over the indieweb website

# Soni we really think we should have a human-scale web search protocol
# Soni which sounds a lot like gopher tbh

# k1 I like the concept of https://github.com/cweiske/phinde that indexes your own sites and the pages you link to. Should be good enough for 99% of use cases. But seriously, could we perhaps link to this at places one would be looking for (pages such as discuss, developers, projects, discuss_infrastructure, ...) I now found it at the very bottom hidden behind the text "chat.indieweb.org logs source code" (I usually also search for git/github,
# k1 but cloaked links aren't searched by most browsers) https://indieweb.org/discuss#See_Also
# Soni we wonder if we could mostly just use gopher
# Soni maybe run it over http to get the benefits of http (Host header, TLS, SNI, compatibility with load balancing, etc)
# k1 Why not use gemini then?
# prologic https://gopher.mills.io/ is exactly that
# Soni prologic: okay, where's the search box?
# prologic there is none
# prologic :)
# prologic I heard something about gopher :D
# Soni prologic: okay, how do you shove that into an existing website? :p
# Soni but no, gopher does support search box
# prologic oh this thing is just https://git.mills.io/prologic/gopherproxy
# Soni so like, if we could have "gopher over http", maybe with a /.well-known/gopher, with full support for search, and then we joined that with a normal website, that could be pretty cool
# prologic There's also a desktop client as well https://git.mills.io/prologic/gopherclient
# Soni oh, so it's not the gopher protocol
# Soni it's just another gopher gateway
# prologic it is, but its proxying HTTP -> Gopher
# prologic Yup
# Soni we want gopher encapsulation, not gateway
# prologic I see
# Soni in other words, raw gopher packets, with an HTTP header on top
# prologic Isn't Gopher basicalyl just HTTP 1.0 though?
# prologic You basically have it already
# Soni no, gopher has search
# prologic Which you can do with a POST
# Soni no, gopher has search as a protocol feature
# prologic it does?
# prologic since when?
# prologic did I like just totallly miss that in the spec or somethign? :)
# Soni yes, RFC 1436, type 7
# Soni we think gopher is much more amenable to human-scale search than http
# Soni it'd basically enable something like the webring equivalent of search
# Soni ppl here like webrings yeah?
# prologic hmm
# prologic I have to admit I'm quite confused
k1 joined the channel
# prologic item type 7 is the equivilent of a POST request in HTTP terms
# prologic it sends a "search terms" to the gopher daemon with a tab followed by the search query
# prologic I really wouldn't call that "search built into the protocol"
# prologic more like "user input"
# k1 It is called just input in gemini

[KevinMarks] There's also this for html sites https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch
# Soni [KevinMarks]: that's for local site search, not webring search

@Tagaroggu I don't use TikTok but what the fuck is going on, Congress? At the very least be fucking tech literate before trying these hearings. Not to mention the shit that is S.686, "Restrict Act."
I would not be surprised if it comes back to blog posts and webmentions. (twitter.com/_/status/1640021963006410753)
