[artlung] What is UpScrolled
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "UpScrolled" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "UpScrolled is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[artlung] Not making a definition yet but sudden burst of flocking activity to it. https://upscrolled.com/

#
gRegor heh, heavy skepticism about their marketing blurb there
#
osteophage gRegor, is that referring to Upscrolled or the 11tyCMS?
#
gRegor Upscrolled
#
osteophage Ah. As it deserves.
#
osteophage Reminds me of other alt socials like it that have made big promises.
#
osteophage https://osteophage.neocities.org/projects/good-web-graveyard
#
gRegor Ooh, nice page
#
osteophage Thanks!
#
osteophage I suppose we'll see whether or not Upscrolled ends up as a future addition.

[artlung] “This is where I remind folks once again that my personal site and Whatever, my blog, have been around longer than at least three and probably four generations of social media. Having your own space that only you control is a good thing, especially in an age of resurgent fascism.” — John Scalzi, today. (On Bluesky with his domain handle)

capjamesg aaronpk My bot is getting hit with 403 errors when making requests to the wiki.
#
capjamesg Is there a way around the 403 block?
#
aaronpk Nothing has changed recently, are you sure it has the right credentials?
#
capjamesg I'm making a request that doesn't require wiki bot auth.
#
capjamesg I'm doing a GET to https://indieweb.org/wiki/api.php?action=parse&page=events/2026-01-28-hwc-eastern&prop=text&formatversion=2&format=json
#
aaronpk That requires being logged in as of a couple months ago
#
capjamesg Hm...
#
aaronpk But also that's giving me a JSON error message in my browser
#
aaronpk The page you specified doesn't exist
#
capjamesg That error message is expected.
#
capjamesg It's doing a check to see if the page exists before creating it.
#
aaronpk K
#
capjamesg But I'm getting a 403 in the code for some reason 😭
#
aaronpk Hm actually in an incognito browser I see JSON too, so maybe doesn't require auth after all
#
capjamesg Yeah. It's weird because I haven't changed this code in months.

#
[artlung] capjamesg I am a bit sad about this being broken. anything I can do to help debug?
#
capjamesg Yes, that would be so handy!

#
capjamesg [edit] https://github.com/capjamesg/indieweb-etherpad-archiver
#
capjamesg The error is: 403 Forbidden at CreateDocument.pm line 115.
#
[artlung] that sounds like a bad API key then. potentially block at the cloudflare layer. I'd be asking [aaronpk]
#
[artlung] do we need to pass something into LWP::UserAgent instance?
