[tantek] I thought the site started with a P
#
aaronpk maybe there were multiple?
#
[tantek] Plazes!
#
[tantek] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plazes
#
[tantek] I was regularly a top contributor, and you got extra points or ranking for being the first one to find a new hotspot and map it
#
aaronpk oh i remember that site, i didn't remember the wifi geolocation feature tho!
#
[tantek] they had their own native app which scanned for wifi networks and would tell you if any of them were "new" to Plazes and encourage you to register them, and the approximate address etc.

Loqi [preview] [samuelgoto] #134 Should `indieauth-metadata` be discoverable by DNS?
#
[jgarber] wut
#
[jgarber] DNS TXT record parsing. Hrm.
#
aaronpk it's an interesting idea
#
aaronpk didn't something else similar do this? was it Persona?
#
aaronpk i guess actually it's similar to how BlueSky has you set up a custom domain for your handle
#
aaronpk hmm no Persona relied on .well-known
#
[tantek] maybe libravatar?
#
[tantek] what was libravatar
#
Loqi Libravatar is a protocol specification for fetching avatar images for E-Mail addresses and OpenIDs in a decentralized way https://indieweb.org/libravatar

cophee chrisburnell[d]++ didn't know you were on the Discord but wanted to say thanks for your 11ty webmentions blogpost
#
Loqi chrisburnell[d] has 1 karma over the last year
#
cophee [snarfed]: I get the message right after I try to follow someone!
#
cophee I think it still works though
#
chrisburnell wing_wingpang_com_[d]: My pleasure 🙂
#
[snarfed] cophee: _how_ are you following them? where? is this in the http://fed.brid.gy web UI, via indieauth?

cophee [snarfed]: yup!

cophee from here

#
[snarfed] ok! will look
#
[snarfed] cophee: looks like you're hitting https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/829
#
[snarfed] your h-card has u-url links to your profiles elsewhere, eg linkedin, but those should be rel-me instead
#
[snarfed] ^ mf2 people, I'm seeing a growing trickle of this problem when people set up their mf2 h-cards. seems like a common mistake. not sure what we can do about it...?
#
[snarfed] will take it to #microformats
[KevinMarks], to2ds, [aciccarello] and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
cophee [snarfed]: Thank you!!!
#
cophee [snarfed]: I think can maybe add it as an error to indiewebify.me h-card parser
#
[snarfed] cophee actually hold off on that for now, sounds like I'm wrong about u-url
#
[snarfed] more in #microformats
#
cophee ooo I see it!

#
[tantek] one of my goals when I write code is to write code that an AI / LLM is VERY unlikely to have been able to write, or even rewrite, without outright plagiarism
#
[tantek] thus continuing to provide examples of outsmarting LLMs, no matter how big their models are. LFG
#
[tantek] context: what [KevinMarks] shared in #indieweb-chat and I asked him to share here
#
[KevinMarks] this post https://xoxo.zone/@KevinMarks/112491438991835457
#
Loqi [preview] [Kevin Marks] @janeadams @vonxylofon @baldur well, there is the one @tantek.com uses to match valid URLs to auto-link them; That's quite impressive and I wouldn't trust an LLM to make it. https://github.com/tantek/cassis/blob/main/cassis.js#L1313 https://xoxo-media.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/491/438/769/228/070/original/4ab8e50e02f14dd1.png
#
[KevinMarks] the emoji regex above that is fairly hairy - I think [aaronpk] has one a bit like that, or did you write it as procedural code?
#
aaronpk i had a big regex but i changed it because i reached the php regex length limit 😂
#
pcarrier are there no RSS feeds for GitHub activity? 😦
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] hmm there used to be
#
pcarrier it'd be really nice if all my social profiles had feeds, I could run a planet and PESOS
#
[Joe_Crawford] pcarrier add `.atom` to the url for your username to get your own GitHub activity.
#
[tantek] ^ that should be a "How to" in /GitHub [Joe_Crawford] if you have a minute to add it there "How to get a feed of your Github activity"
#
[tantek] auto-link << https://xoxo.zone/@KevinMarks/112491438991835457
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://xoxo.zone/@KevinMarks/112491438991835457" to the "See Also" section of /autolink https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=95465&oldid=83771
#
[Joe_Crawford] pcarrier there's also a nonced/tokened ATOM feed autodiscoverable at https://github.com/dashboard/ -- looks like `<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="ATOM" href="/username.private.atom?token=A54RF3F4XPIJ4TGDV2346FQWERLNUYA"/>`
#
[Joe_Crawford] ^specifically when you are logged in. Having trouble finding GitHub's official documentation of these features or even an icon or button or section where they live.
#
[tantek] ^ all the more reason to document it on the wiki
#
[Joe_Crawford] ^ https://indieweb.org/GitHub#POSSE_to_GitHub updated
#
pcarrier Any idea why this emoji gets truncated? <link rel="icon" href='data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 32 32"><text x="16" y="16" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" font-size="32">🧑‍🚀</text></svg>'/>

#
[Joe_Crawford] I don't think I've seen a favicon / rel=icon dones with an inline svg before. I'm amazed it sort of works! In an SVG there are likely several options for setting bounding box and setting size of text contents?
#
pcarrier yeah, I'm wondering why my combination doesn't work / what combination would work (hopefully regardless of the glyph being used and specifics of the OS emoji font)
#
pcarrier ie, how do I make an XxX SVG with an emoji filling the space as precisely as possible.
#
[Joe_Crawford] https://emojipedia.org/man-astronaut#designs shows the variations of sizing across platforms. curious if you have options to grow or shrink the emoji to fit.
#
pcarrier yeah I was hoping for a portable solution. FWIW went with the gender-neutral https://emojipedia.org/astronaut
#
pcarrier [edit] yeah I was hoping for a portable solution. FWIW went with the gender-neutral https://emojipedia.org/astronaut

#
pcarrier [edit] yeah I was hoping for a portable solution (can't even think of a non-portable one short of serving different assets based on UA). FWIW went with the gender-neutral https://emojipedia.org/astronaut
#
[KevinMarks] Lea's answer gave some padding by setting font size to 0.9em https://x.com/LeaVerou/status/1241619866475474946
[Jo] and jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
pcarrier yeah, I can estimate the right padding and hope for the best across systems, but that feels suboptimal
#
GWG aaronpk: How can I pursue the new discovery coding?
#
aaronpk i just linked to a commit for the changes that are required on a client: https://github.com/indieweb/indieauth/issues/133#issuecomment-2128148627
#
aaronpk and just below that in the thread i described the changes on my indieauth server
#
Loqi [preview] [aaronpk] I just implemented this in webmention.io and indielogin.com. Here's the PR that adds support to indielogin.com as a client: https://github.com/aaronpk/indielogin.com/pull/117/files
#
aaronpk so you could add the new behavior to the wordpress indieauth server pretty quick i bet
#
GWG I'm willing to give it a try
