capjamesg How do you check the integrity of a downloaded file?
# capjamesg I know you can hash the downloaded file and compare to a preset hash.
# capjamesg But how do you define that hash in the first place?
geskeca joined the channel
# capjamesg Say I have a Python script that downloads a file.
# capjamesg The script downloads the file.
# capjamesg I hash the file.
# capjamesg To what hash do I compare the hash from the file to know the file is the one I want?
# capjamesg Signature?
# capjamesg I’m not doing anything right now. I was thinking that machine learning involves downloading a lot of weights. I wondered how companies like Hugging Face assure the integrity of those files in their down loaders.
# capjamesg Or what options were available.
# sknebel e.g. if you look at software repositories, like the one Debian/Ubuntu use for apt, there the index files that list all the files and their hashes. and then the index files are signed with GPG so you can verify that the index file has been transmitted unmodified from the release maintainer, and can check the same for future updates (where the hash obviously wouldnt be known yet)
# capjamesg The index file is signed?
# capjamesg So the workflow is: developer makes release, release is added to an index file with the hash of the file, the index file is signed, I grab the index, checking its integrity using a public key, then I choose what file to download based on the version I want etc.
# capjamesg The file hash can be used to double check the downloaded file has not been tampered with?
# capjamesg And I’d have the index’s public key on my machine? (Or the means by which to retrieve it?)
# capjamesg Ah, that’s why!
# capjamesg One more question.
# capjamesg Oh, no.
# capjamesg No more questions.
# capjamesg I get it!

# [Joe_Crawford] [tantek] I'm spending a bit of time in the meeting this morning seeing if I can make it straightforward to tweak the look of individual letters on Bollocks. 🙂 https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/qBvaePM
# 
[capjamesg] [Joe_Crawford] I see this when subscribing to your homepage microformats feed in Monocle:
# [Joe_Crawford] Thank you! I must've broken my metadata. Blurgh. Thanks [capjamesg] ++
# [Joe_Crawford] capjamesg++
# [Al_Abut] [capjamesg] I tried to sign up to Monocle last night and couldn’t figure out the dependencies (Aperture? Something dynamic on my own site?) which is where I bailed on trying social readers 😞
# [capjamesg] Sign up for Aperture first, then Monocl.e
# [Al_Abut] do you maybe have a link handy to a newbie-friendly guide to using social readers?
# [capjamesg] One second!
# [capjamesg] Let me see what I can find!
# [capjamesg] https://archive.org/details/iwc-austin-2020-social-readers _may_ be useful.
# [capjamesg] I haven't watched it, but looks like good context.
# [Al_Abut] ok, thanks, I’ll check it out
# [capjamesg] [Al_Abut] Are you signed up to Aperture?
# [Al_Abut] as for signing up for Aperture, it said I need to set up a Microsub server first?
# [capjamesg] Aperture is your server.
# [capjamesg] Monocle is the client.
# [capjamesg] Aperture is where the content from the feeds you subscribe to is collected. Monocle shows the results.
# [capjamesg] And if your site supports Micropub you can also post from Monocle!
# [capjamesg] If you go to https://aperture.p3k.io/dashboard, you should see a header you need to put in the `<head>` tag of your website.
# [capjamesg] Once you have put that head tag in, log in to Monocle.
# [Al_Abut] I can’t sign in to Aperture because it says “*missing authorization endpoint*Could not find your authorization endpoint” and when I go to setup instructions, I’m lost
[Jo] joined the channel
# [Al_Abut] these instructions make me think that a static site like mine might not work, or is beyond me technically: https://aperture.p3k.io/docs
# [capjamesg] Oh!
# [Al_Abut] or that I should sign up to a hosted service like http://micro.blog that has it built in already…?
# [capjamesg] Your site will work.
# [capjamesg] There is one more step...
# [capjamesg] Can you follow the instructions on https://aperture.p3k.io/docs?
# [capjamesg] You need to add those tags into your <head> first.
# [Al_Abut] ohjhhhhh
# [Al_Abut] I mixed that up with the github link I added to sign into the http://indieweb.org
# [capjamesg] Here is the process:
# [capjamesg] 1. You set up IndieAuth using http://indieauth.com so you can log in to Aperture and Monocle and other services.
# [capjamesg] 2. You set up Aperture to poll feeds.
# [capjamesg] 3. You set up Monocle to read your feeds 🎉
# [Al_Abut] one is microformats in the body of the page, the other is a more explicit link in the <meta>
# [capjamesg] Yeah. The head tags are basically giving information about where Monocle and Aperture can go to help you sign in.
# [capjamesg] The rel=me links say "hey, I want to use my email/GitHub to log in!"
# [Al_Abut] thank you so much, my eyes naturally skimmed down to api keys and client development, then my brain said nope
# [capjamesg] No worries!
# [capjamesg] I use Monocle and I love it!
# [capjamesg] I wouldn't read Garfield in anything else 😂

# [Al_Abut] I really want to try it! Using a read-only feed reader has been really fun but I feel like I’m at a party with masking tape over my mouth
# [Al_Abut] and I talk a lot
# [Al_Abut] hahaha
# [capjamesg] Loqi, that's not very nice 😄
# [Al_Abut] comedy heckled by a bot - my day is complete
# [capjamesg] For a Taylor Swift perspective, go to #indieweb-chat and start a message with `!ts` then your query.

Zegnat I think this may be another project that does micropub into git, for static sites: https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/www-api/tree/master/www-api-web/micropub
# Zegnat Blog post about it: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/08/26/setting-up-micropub/

# sknebel [capjamesg]: https://gwern.net/sidenote

# Zegnat [capjamesg]: you can also have a look at https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/ which includes side notes in free to use css
# [capjamesg] !!
# [Al_Abut] [tantek] it was these setup instructions in Aperture: https://aperture.p3k.io/docs
# [Joe_Crawford] [tantek] my current changelist replicating _Never Mind The Bollocks_ is that I did a full reworking of handling the text for individual letters. Individual letters now have css vars that can be tweaked to your liking. In theory you can adjust those values as needed. I Implemented the background for the cut out as css conic-gradients rather than as a stretchy div with a clip-path. I also, because I wanted to see if resolution
# [Joe_Crawford] independence was on track added a 800x800 pixel version to the 500x500 versions. Same markup, adding a class. 2 zoom adjustments and a margin adjustments does a fair job.
# [Joe_Crawford] https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/qBvaePM ^
# [Al_Abut] to recap from the other channel real quick, I thought two wrong thoughts 1) that I had indieauth setup already because of being able to sign in with my website into http://indieweb.org and 2) I naturally skipped down to the sections about API’s and developing clients, which don’t seem clearly demarcated as advanced or optional or whatever. does that make sense?
# Zegnat [capjamesg]: aaah, here it is, I just had to look through my feed reader for a minute. An experiment with the new CSS anchors (Chrome experiment) by Eric that makes sure sidenotes will not overlap https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2023/09/12/nuclear-anchored-sidenotes/

# 
[aciccarello] For micropub on a static site, I can recommend Indiekit. You tell it your folder structure and give it a function to convert microformats to a text file and it does everything else for you.
# [aciccarello] If you hook it to a MongoDB instance you get some more CMS style stuff in the UI, but I don't have that so I mostly use the micropub endpoint via other apps.

[schmarty] anyone else using http://alltogether.io today? it's not working for me 😢
# [schmarty] websocket connection errors for my signed-in session.
# [schmarty] signed out and also can't sign back in. same `The connection to wss://together-server.tpxl.io/graphql was interrupted while the page was loading.` errors 😭
# [aciccarello] I'm getting a domain not claimed error
# [aciccarello] > Domain Not Claimed
# [aciccarello] > This domain has been mapped to Squarespace, but it has not yet been claimed by a website. If this is your domain, claim it in the Domains tab of your Website Manager.
# [Al_Abut] thanks [aciccarello]! I’ll ping you if/when I play around with it
# [aciccarello] Setting up a server was the blocker for me as most of my server experiments were on free hosting that shuts down during inactivity which isn't great for micropub. I've published my config repo online if you're interested. [Paul_Robert_Ll] has been super helpful and responsive on GitHub too.
# [aciccarello] What is Indiekit?
# 
Loqi Indiekit (GitHub repo) is “the little Node.js server with all the pieces needed to own your content and share it with the wider independent web” https://indieweb.org/Indiekit
# [aciccarello] I thought I linked to the config there but apparently not
# [schmarty] uh oh. all of [grantcodes] sites appear to be having trouble 😬
