big_giogurt Hello Im building my site with astro and vercel and im failing the rel=me and the h-card tests. Do you know what it might be?
#
[snarfed] big_giogurt what's your site?
#
[snarfed] and which tests?
#
[KevinMarks] It might be client-only rendering?

xuid0 big_giogurt[d]: I mentioned a url littlelink.io it has a good example of using vercel.com and a free Github account.
#
xuid0 It worked for myself so that is why I suggested taking a look at it.

#
corlaez OMG, maybe it's just because I am a noob, but using let's encrypt in my Kotlin was a pain in the butt: https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/corlaez.com/blog
#
corlaez Both my nginx (http 80, https 443) and my kotlin (gemini 1965) are now using the same certificate and domain
#
xuid0 I think perhaps using certbot by LetsEncrypt next time would be better coraez on the VPS shell/command line
#
corlaez I did use it, and I guess there is a way to make it proxy into my kotlin
#
xuid0 https://certbot.eff.org/
#
xuid0 [edit] https://certbot.eff.org/
#
corlaez but I am unfamiliar with nginx and I honestly wanted to implement and learn from it. Gemini is supposed to include TLS
#
corlaez I did use Let's Encrypt and certbot, and that's how my nginx is setup
#
xuid0 I believe it installs the certificate into Nginx but beyond that it's up to you
#
corlaez the hard part was how to import the Let's encrypt cert to Java.
#
corlaez oh intersting
#
corlaez I didn't event know certbot was separate from Let's Encrypt. I believe I used that tool as well.
#
corlaez to generate the cert and key
#
xuid0 I see
#
xuid0 Sorry I'm also catching up on Kotlin
#
xuid0 I have heard it mentioned elsewhere
#
corlaez Java 2.0 haha. Nginx looks cool but it's language is a bit arcane to me. I can't even make it load files from a folder and redirect when that is not avail.
#
xuid0 Are you learning to restart the service (Nginx) as that is important as well
#
corlaez oh yeah, reload start stop. I am sure i am doing something wrong with the config
#
corlaez oh yeah, reload start stop. I am sure i am doing something wrong with the config
#
corlaez Nginx feels too declarative to me or at least I don't know how to debug it. So I am just lost. I asked AI many times, no help there
#
capjamesg[d] I am thinking of adding IndieAuth server support to my web reader. This would mean all users could use the reader as an IndieAuth auth and token server.
#
xuid0 That's awesome
#
xuid0 I have used indieauth a bit
#
xuid0 It is great
#
xuid0 (admittedly I am very much still learning though)
#
xuid0 corlaez: I guess watching the associated logs from Nginx is going to be very important
#
xuid0 They would be located within /var/log
#
xuid0 And it would depend how you are logging to where they would be located

#
carrvo[d] I believe Kotlin was born out of a legal dispute where Google provided some kind of Java implementation that Oracle complained had infringement. Google's resolution was to split their Java implementation into the "new language" Kotlin (with enough differences to avoid legal issues).
#
carrvo[d] So Kotlin is strictly not Java 2.0 (unless you believe in Google's superiority).
#
[aciccarello] There are calls to cancel Oracle's JavaScript trademark. I saw that Oracle is (expectedly) pushing back but I'd love to see their control over major languages loosened.
#
carrvo[d] First: JavaScript and Java are completely different despite their unfortunate naming...
#
carrvo[d] Second: I don't know nearly enough about the case or any legality involved. Recently I cane across Apache legally having their own implementation called Jakarta EE.
#
[tantek] trademark legal issues feel like they are straying far enough from indieweb-relevant that maybe this can continue in #indieweb-random?
#
carrvo[d] Third: that is interesting! I hadn't heard of that aciccarello++

#
carrvo[d] Sorry, tantek.
#
[tantek] no worries, it was a bit of a slippery slope 🙂
