sebbu [snarfed], I'm having issues with bridgy, it says "waiting for approbation" even though it works
#
[snarfed] sebbu "waiting for approbation"?! I don't even know what that word means, I'll have to look it up
#
[snarfed] is that error message from somewhere else?
GuestZero and jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
sebbu [snarfed], it's when the other party needs approbation to accept friend requests (or when there's some linking issue between federated instance)
#
sebbu for example, i also have that issue between by mastodon.social and pawoo.net account, but that's normal, the first refuse to federate the second :D
#
sebbu I don't even know if it's possible to manually do it from the interface (or how), as i also have that issue on places where i am on both ends
GuestZero joined the channel
#
sebbu hum, I can't seem to see reactions when i watch an account on another instance
#
sebbu between chuckya and mastodon (official), soapbox, pleroma, misskey, etc...
#
sebbu none see the reactions
#
sebbu there's nice smileys like i see on discord, i **want** to have the same :D

#
jonnybarnes weird one aaronpk, tried using Quill and for some reason your server cant seem to connect to my server
#
jonnybarnes if I ssh into mine I can run `curl -I 'https://quill.p3k.io'` fine
#
[snarfed] sebbu got it! thanks. which accounts or instances are you seeing that on?
#
[snarfed] and this is on the @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy user? when did you follow it from those accounts?
#
[snarfed] sebbu also check out https://fed.brid.gy/docs#troubleshooting , lots of troubleshooting tips there
#
[snarfed] as for emoji reactions on posts, those are non-standard and not (yet) widely supported in the fediverse. https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/484
#
Loqi [preview] [snarfed] #484 support non-standard EmojiReact activity type?
#
[snarfed] they may actually be more standardized and widely supported in the indieweb than the fediverse 😎 https://indieweb.org/reacji

#
aaronpk jonnybarnes: weird, what domain? I can debug
#
aaronpk i'm guessing it's a tls version/cipher error

#
[snarfed] credit to the python feedparser library, it's legendary, and over 20 yrs old, but when you file a bug in 2024, you can (still) get a response in just 5m! https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser/issues/468
#
Loqi [preview] [snarfed] #468 AssertionError: unknown status keyword 'dsgvo_service_control' in marked section
#
[snarfed] props to [KevinMarks] for supporting and advocating for it
#
capjamesg[d] Now that is amazing!

#
jonnybarnes it might well be, I deployed changes to only support tls v1.3 recently
Kaguneh, CRISPR and Renfyeld joined the channel
#
Kaguneh Was looking for a way to make my website's files modular (e.g. my footer can be it's own .html file I update once and it updates across all my pages). I saw solutions that use JS that seem neat but I also saw a lot of articles that said "use JS if you don't want to use a framework". My weekly noob question is: Would y'all recommend I spent time learning a framework like Bootstrap for my little neocities static website? I'm coding everything from
#
Kaguneh scratch so far and not using a builder but I'm wondering if the time investment is worth it.
#
epoch I do that kind of stuff server-side with CGI so browsers don't need to know how javascript works, but that won't work on neocities...
#
epoch if you edit the files locally, then upload then, you could put a build-step between edit and upload
#
epoch I'd use a makefile cuz, that's what I'm used to
#
epoch and it'd have like, a target for each page, and the command would just be something like: cat header.html page.html footer.html > build/page.html
#
epoch and if you're going to use javascript to load a section of a page and then insert it again, a framework seems a bit overkill.
#
epoch or if you don't want to bother with all of that mess, and don't mind doing it this way, you can use iframes.
#
Kaguneh are there any obvious downsides to iframes I should be aware of? I would have to upload all the modular components of the site and they'd be accessible via url is the only one I can immediately think of.
#
epoch links will act funny inside them
#
epoch and links outside of them need to have the target attrib set right to change inside of the frame
#
Kaguneh oh interesting. This does also seem like it would need a bit more CSS to make it look like part of the original webpage. So maybe I'll just stick to the JS approach with injectHTML?
#
superkuh I'd say that if you're just making a website then write it in html and don't try to make it modular. Once you have the content up then enhance it.
#
superkuh I also cat webpages together though.
#
superkuh cat blog-2024.html blog-2023.html blog-2022.html blog-2021.html blog-2020.html > blog-blog.html
#
superkuh ls -v 2024-*.html | tac | xargs cat > blog-2024.html
#
epoch the javascript to inject more requested HTML into a page (without a framework) is like, 7 lines. if done verbosely. I think.
#
Kaguneh epoch yeah it seems kinda straight forward
#
Kaguneh superkuh well my issue is I'm already at the point where updating the footer's "Last Post Date:" for my 5 different pages is getting a bit annoying. Was just hoping I could update the date once and it would propagate. Plus would let me do other fun stuff in the future.
#
Kaguneh I know it's like 1 min of effort each time, not trynna seem like a princess, but yknow automation is cool

#
Kaguneh for context this is the tut that seems pretty neat. ises injectAll to allow the html to be really easy https://dev.to/andreygermanov/modular-html-19o6

#
sebbu [snarfed], yeah, on my dansu.org and misskey.de accounts (i'm sebbu on both)
#
sebbu the second account might not be old enough
#
sebbu if need be, i can contact you with the owner of the first instance, he's already on irc (although maybe not on this server)
#
sebbu and for emoji, even on another pleroma instance i don't see them
#
[snarfed] sebbu ah, for Misskey at least, this is a known interop issue, https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1093
#
Loqi [preview] [excelsior091224] #1093 Can't follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy from my misskey instance
#
sebbu dansu is a mix of soapbox-fe and pleroma-be
#
[snarfed] right, I saw. looks like you followed there a long time ago. we recently added an interop hack to be more Pleroma compatible, https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/12#issuecomment-2302776658 , try unfollowing and then re-following?
#
sebbu I tried, the "cancel request" feature don't seem to work
#
[snarfed] that's odd, that should be entirely on http://dansu.org's end
