This is interesting - Blacksky rolling out the community mod tools they built as a service https://acorn.blacksky.community/

[Kupietz] re your security point in #indieweb...not sure I'd frame it quite like that. security is both hard and changing fast, eg the surface area and threat model for third party SaaS OAuthed into your IdP (as in the Vercel breach) are fundamentally different than the classical fortified perimeter + on prem network model
#
[snarfed]
...ah damn I got nerd sniped. sorry 😁 can take it to #indieweb-random
#
[Kupietz]
[snarfed] fair enough, and I'll defer to your likely much more comprehensive knowledge on these issues, but it seemed from my reading that both fundamentally involved failures of humans to manage risk: an engineer blithely giving a third-party agent broad access as if it couldn't possibly be compromised, and Anthropic putting the services of "the most dangerous LLM ever" at an easily guessable endpoint.

Thank you for exposing me to the term "Nerd Sniping". Boy, xkcd is a cultural force to be reckoned with.

This may be a good reason to keep drafts outside of the folder one uses for a static site: https://www.rubenerd.au/inadvertent-draft-publishing/
#
[capjamesg]
What is a draft?
#
Loqi
📓 A draft in the context of the indieweb refers to a draft post, a post that an author has partially written, or otherwise does not consider finished https://indieweb.org/draft

draft << If you have a [[static site generator]] you are tinkering on, you need to be extra cautious that you don’t accidentally publish your drafts: https://www.rubenerd.au/inadvertent-draft-publishing/

ok, I added "If you have a [[static site generator]] you are tinkering on, you need to be extra cautious that you don’t accidentally publish your drafts: https://www.rubenerd.au/inadvertent-draft-publishing/" to the "See Also" section of /draft https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=110306&oldid=101721

I have felt the same way with regards to “hidden” posts that also have a permalink too. Because posts can be listed in so many different places — home page, sitemap, category pages, date pages — having the right level of abstraction is important so that when something is hidden it is hidden across the website.

have there been any changes to webmention since 2017? https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/
#
aaronpk
there's a few open issues, but i don't think there has been any major changes https://github.com/w3c/webmention/issues

Nothing comes to mind for me. Webmention feels the most stable / “finished” of all the protocols.

aaronpk, last time I checked the issues there were some proposed improvements that had not made it into PRs or the editor's draft.
#
[tantek]
we've occasionally had discussions here in #indieweb-dev also that have not been captured as issues. I recall a bunch from [snarfed]
#
[tantek]
there are a bunch of webmention "best practices" that a bunch of implementations have adopted (anecdotally) that may merit uplifting into the spec (since they improve the use of the protocol and have multi-implementer support)
#
aaronpk
ok sounds reasonable, let's at least start with capturing them as issues
