aaronpk what is weather?
#
Loqi Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc https://indieweb.org/weather
#
aaronpk hm, i only see one proposal for microforomats for weather. i'm wondering what a micropub client should send
Saige_Leah joined the channel
#
aaronpk i'm thinking top-level properties are not a good idea. so maybe like h-geo https://microformats.org/wiki/h-geo

WinnerWind [Sophia]: on https://toground.link/find-more-color-in-the-slough/ the tags redirect to https://blog/?q=<tag> which is broken
#
WinnerWind your hrefs start with two slashes eg. //blog/?q=willamette which isn't right
#
[Sophia] ahhh! - thank you @winnerwind I had a slash in my /blog and it messed up
#
WinnerWind happens!
#
[Sophia] I think it is fixed!
#
[Sophia] it prompted me to go update my tags:) @Winnerwind++

WinnerWind funniest HTML fail ive done in a while (forgot to close a quote) https://x0.at/xtkXOjMa10.png
#
WinnerWind [Sophia]: another bug! the blog link in https://toground.link/blog/ redirects to https://toground.link/blog/blog/
#
[Sophia] oops! deleted one too many slashes - thanks!
#
WinnerWind hah! happens xD
#
WinnerWind i personally wrote a python library in my SSG which handles the slashes for me
#
[Sophia] THis is my only bearblog, and I'm not used to configs like this
#

#
WinnerWind all i do is url.join({some path}, {more path}, {...})
#
WinnerWind and it handles the slashes for me along with adding the prefix

#
WinnerWind [Sophia]: mind LITERALLY blown
#
WinnerWind in case you want to copy the URL class that helps me fix all those stupid trailing slashes https://git.winnerwind.in/WinnerWind/joker-ssg/src/branch/master/plugins/system/url.py

[jeremycherfas] I’m working with Claude on a Grav plugin to receive trips sent by Overland to Compass. It will need to authenticate. Is there any danger, going forward, that Compass will not be able to use selfauth and mintoken? [aaronpk] [Zegnat]
barnaby joined the channel
#
Zegnat [jeremycherfas] the only danger would come from a service somewhere making a newer IndieAuth step required that selfauth does not implement
#
Zegnat I haven't touched any of that code for a long time. But I could be convinced to change that. Haha.
#
Zegnat Ironically I write this from a conference presentation called "What I think about when I think about Identity"
marc_in_space and pauls1 joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] I hope I didn’t distract you too much from what you think about when you think about identity.
#
Zegnat Not at all!
#
aaronpk I am going to update compass soon, which will include updating to the latest IndieAuth spec
#
[jeremycherfas] Ah. That might possibly be more work then for [Zegnat]++

#
WinnerWind by the way, how do you folks add that little external link icon after a href= to an external site? is it embedded into the HTML?
#
WinnerWind ive been poking at a few sites and it seems as though a few add a HTML element after the link. i was wondering if anyone knew of a CSS Only way of doing it
#
[capjamesg] It is often done with CSS and an SVG: https://css-irl.info/styling-external-links-with-attribute-selectors/
#
[capjamesg] My site’s external link icon is implemented in pretty much the same way as that article ^
#
WinnerWind oh wow, i didn't know i can select the href attribute form CSS
#
WinnerWind i thought only attributes prefixed with data- could e selected in css
#
WinnerWind this is news, thanks! [capjamesg]++

[Murray] Not really sure how to add a Mastodon thread to the Wiki, but I've been enjoying Terence's attempts to reduce bot traffic: https://elk.zone/mastodon.social/@Edent/117554995751645845

[tantek] we ask [edent] to please turn it into a blog post that we can cite on the wiki 🙂
troojg, [manton] and [edent] joined the channel
#
[edent] Me? Write a blog post? I've never done one before, but I'll do my best 😄
#
Zegnat [jeremycherfas] I might ping you about selfauth later to see what I can do! Wasn't there an IndieAuth plugin for Grav that might get you better support?
#
Zegnat (later as in when I am not at a conference)
#
simpleauthority Oh. I like that trick about adding a honeypot directory to your robots.txt
#
simpleauthority Very clever

#
[jeremycherfas] There was. Will look again in a couple of days.

#
[edent] I based it on this PHP code https://perishablepress.com/blackhole-bad-bots/
#
[jeremycherfas] [Zegnat] There is a login OAuth2 plugin, and there was once an indieauth plugin but I think it is no longer maintained.
#
[jeremycherfas] It has not seen any work since 2018

[tantek] [snarfed] is there any way to automatically use Bridgy Fed to convert a bridged bsky post to its Mastodon original permalink? e.g. https://bsky.app/profile/pfefferle.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy/post/3l4norkaaubt2
#
[snarfed] [tantek] yes! https://fed.brid.gy/docs#identify-bridged-from-post
#
[snarfed] for bluesky posts, the `bridgyOriginalUrl` custom field in the record: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:ylx7iayvxmaaopz22jba6piu/app.bsky.feed.post/3l4norkaaubt2
#
[tantek] hmm, either I’m doing it wrong or that two-step process (look up id then convert) didn’t work for me, e.g. https://ap.brid.gy/convert/ap/did:plc:ylx7iayvxmaaopz22jba6piu failes
#
[tantek] fails* even
#
[tantek] any chance https://ap.brid.gy/convert/ap/ can take a user-visible https: bsky URL instead of having to look up an id and not have any easy way of verifying if it is the right id or not?
#
[tantek] (really dislikes ids that are not just URLs that are user verifiable by pasting them into a browser)
#
[snarfed] specifically, for the post you mentioned, you'd load its at:// URI, at://did:plc:ylx7iayvxmaaopz22jba6piu/app.bsky.feed.post/3l4norkaaubt2 , and grab the `bridgyOriginalUrl` field
#
[snarfed] you want the very end of that doc section. "The Atmosphere doesn't have a standard way to do this yet. For now, Bridgy Fed uses..."
#
[snarfed] looking at the <head> of https://bsky.app/profile/pfefferle.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy/post/3l4norkaaubt2 , the at:// URI is in a <link rel=alternate>
