I’ve changed my mind: I no longer want RSS readers from which you can reply to blog posts via webmention. It completely violates my contention that the social media has too little friction; it’s not a flaw an indieweb blogosphere software ecosystem ... https://bix.blog/2020/01/25/ive-changed-my.html

Migrating my blog from Jekyll to Eleventy is going well. I finally have all the #indieweb functionality working. In to the home stretch now. I will have to make tweaks to my Indieweb server to accommodate the new build but otherwise happy! https://vincentp.me/notes/2020/01/26/16

↩️ @ForTheJim but I'm really tempted by the idea of static site as application. Could make a lot of IndieWeb stuff on my list *much* easier.

↩️ It can also make some of it harder, too! My site is a static Hugo site, but for some of the IndieWeb stuff I either need to add client-side JS or write separate services that can run to ie send Webmentions. It definitely works, but is a bit more work as… https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/bpq5i/

↩️ Been following your experiences tying indieweb together with a Hugo site. Been pondering gatsby + some serverless, but will likely just throw a microservice next to the current site.

!tell aaronpk: got an issue w/ sharing yesterday's HWC NYC photo on https://events.indieweb.org/2020/01/indieweb-meetup-nyc-3Ss2mFU4CVfj - maybe stacked image proxy URL issues?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[schmarty]
oops punctuation
#
[schmarty]
oh, maybe it's okay. thanks, Loqi.
#
aaronpk
yea...
#
aaronpk
I have this problem with your photos in monocle too
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
aaronpk
it's cause the go imageproxy doesn't URL-encode the parameters, so you can't nest an imageproxy URL under another imageproxy
#
aaronpk
i'm not sure there's a workaround tbh
#
[schmarty]
probably not without rewriting the imageproxy 😞
#
aaronpk
i'll file an issue to see if willnorris has any ideas
#
willnorris
Hmm, interesting. Never tried that
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] #212 imageproxy URLs can't be served by imageproxy
#
[schmarty]
aaronpk: any way for me to manually update the photo URL on events.indieweb.org?
#
aaronpk
[schmarty]: re-sending the webmention works, but I think that's it
#
aaronpk
willnorris: I don't remember how the parameter parsing works, but I *think* maybe stopping at the first "http" would work?
#
[schmarty]
lol i'd have to rewrite that post to dodge my image proxying 😛
#
aaronpk
hah lemme see if I have an edit option, I can't remember
#
aaronpk
hm I only made a delete button for responses... should people be able to edit responses that came via webmention?
#
aaronpk
funny enough i'm in the middle of figuring out what sorts of permission settings to add to Meetable right now so this is timely
#
aaronpk
heh I guess I could let you edit your own webmentions since it knows that's from you and you're logged in
#
[schmarty]
it's a weird case to be sure
#
aaronpk
being able to edit anyone's responses could be useful for cleaning up other ppls messy markup too tho
#
aaronpk
well in any case I can fix it in the database right now
#
[schmarty]
haha 😅
#
[schmarty]
thanks! looks great!
#
[schmarty]
i mean, it loaded great. i've definitely taken better photos. 😆
#
aaronpk
i'm leaning towards letting anyone edit any responses. let me know if anyone has strong feelings otherwise.
#
[schmarty]
i think as long as there's a working history that seems reasonable.
#
aaronpk
hm yeah I don't store edit history of responses yet, only events, so i'd need to add that
#
aaronpk
i'm thinking of this as a wiki for events, so i'm leaning towards a more open permissions model

#
aaronpk
well that's odd
#
aaronpk
hm I wonder if it's the permissions checking that's failing
#
willnorris
imageproxy always treat the first path segment as the options, and everything after that is the URL... it doesn't try to parse anything after that
#
aaronpk
willnorris: why does yours redirect to a version without the double slashes in the https://
#
aaronpk
mine doesn't do that
#
willnorris
I think that's my nginx config that's stripping the double slashes. shouldn't matter, I don't think
#
willnorris
err, no not nginx. This is now running Google Cloud Run, so maybe they're canonicalizing the URL
#
willnorris
when I was running behind nginx, I do remember it doing the same
#
aaronpk
I think it's something with the signature verification that's failing when nested
#
willnorris
and I do suspect it may have something to do with the double slashes, though I'm not completely sure.
#
aaronpk
oh? what do I need to do differently?
#
willnorris
aaronpk: what are you using to generate your signatures?
#
willnorris
the included imageproxy-sign command, or some of your own code?
#
aaronpk
it's only a problem with nested URLs like that thouhg
#
aaronpk
(I don't use the x100 size option anywhere so I don't need to canonicalize that)
#
willnorris
okay, definitely a result of the forced canonicalization that is happening inside of Go's net/url library. I had worked around it in most places, but this is a new one
#
aaronpk
ah sneaky
#
aaronpk
well I can change my signing algorithm if I know what it's doing

"signing algorithm"? I haven't heard that kind of conversation since ... since ... # social 🙂

aaronpk
okay, I just added a little block of text at the top of the "add an event" page to hopefully encourage people to add more events!
