dolugbeal|imac Anyone tried running wp-spamassasin? Not thrilled with Akismet's ToS
#
GWG I switched to Anti Spam Bee
#
dolugbeal|imac Do I have to install JetPack to get markdown?
#
GWG I'm not sure. I don't do markdown

gRegorLove what is akismet?
#
Loqi Akismet is an anti-spam webservice from Automattic that has various levels of service both free and paid https://indieweb.org/Akismet
#
gRegorLove dougbeal, want to document your ToS criticism on /Akismet#Criticism?
#
gRegorLove I should re-visit my usage of it
#
Loqi +1

[miklb] [dougbeal] I use a the WP Markdown Editor plugin
#
Loqi [miklb]: [eddie] left you a message 22 hours, 32 minutes ago: Great to hear!!
#
[miklb] also [dougbeal] https://miklb.com/blog/2017/04/12/microformats2-wordpress-and-featured-images-classes/
#
[miklb] if I’m not mistaken, Gutenberg has native support for markdown
#
tantek__ which flava of markdown?

#
[dougbeal] [gregorlove] I can't find the bit where they defined personal use, but the gist was proscribing all business activities, and my reaction was a strong Nope

[jgmac1106] Evening all from the GW bridge. Yeah [chrisaldrich] dead simple blog roll plugin, will play and take a look to see how hard it would be to turn each link into an hcard for each link
#
[jgmac1106] Great post [miklb] glad I am not the only one who thought u-photo went everywhere
#
[miklb] I honestly don’t know what markdown parser it uses. I toyed with the idea of writing my own as I’m not exactly happy with any of the available markdown options for WordPress. I might start supporting Gutenberg & blocks soon on my site, so we’ll see.
#
[jgmac1106] I will use markdown when I get a flavor that allows for inline styling. Just hate feeling constrained
#
[jgmac1106] [miklb] excited about what you are doing, think it's future, though going to recommend the subdomain or page builder approach in mean time for folks who want to hang on to their theme
#
[jgmac1106] Did ping Christina Warren (cloud developer advocate at Microsoft and ally) that they should put mf2 into the framework tool or develop hosting on Azure tutorial
#
[miklb] I just need like 3 days where I’m totally caught up on stuff and can just really focus on committing code. I’m getting closer.
#
GWG Ditto
#
[jgmac1106] Congrats. Looking forward to seeing the first premium IndieWeb theme option. Folks deserve to get paid

#
jgmac1106 need to test to see if my threading of twiteer is breaking because of SNAP, or when using Ingidenous on Android to syndicate through SNAP
#
jgmac1106 Okay it is just the SNAP to LinkedIn syndication that takes awhile. Wondering if it is bc I took lazy route and use the deprecrated 1.0 API

#
[davidmead] morning all. do we need a specific plugin to create a media endpoint on a self-hosted WP blog? aaronpk said that’s needed for photos to be used with teacup, but I thought that came with the indieweb package
#
GWG [davidmead]: There is no media endpoint in WordPress
#
GWG Yet
#
dougbeal GWG does that mean anything that can upload photos is special casing WP?
#
GWG dougbeal: No. It means anything that can upload photos has to use the form encoded method as opposed to json encoded
#
GWG If I can finish this, I might actually build a media endpoint
#
dougbeal What is a media endpoint
#
Loqi micropub media endpoint is a Micropub endpoint that exclusively handles file uploads and returns a URL that can be used in a subsequent Micropub request https://indieweb.org/Media_endpoint
#
[davidmead] thanks for clearing that up
#
dougbeal Hurm, webmentions from micro.blog don't have my avatar on wordpress
#
dougbeal Recept comments shows the commentor, but the link to the comment doesn't show up
#
jgmac1106 okay SNAP and Twitter replies do not thread at all. Think I need to do a hybrid approach, when replying to Tweets use Bridgy, when jost posting use SNAP
#
sknebel I still don't entirely understand what doesn't work with bridgy for you? can't we look into fixing that?
#
jgmac1106 It just took three tries to publish a post successfully with bridgy. I am saying Bridgy works best with Twitter, SNAP for everything else
#
jgmac1106 bridgy to LinkedIn just shares the link, I want title, img, full text up to post limit, Bridgy to Twitter different per post type but I am documenting those
#
jgmac1106 the more I htink about, many schools would love the Wordpress server on a Raspberry Pie Approach, would see a lot of IT folks complaining about upstream
#
sknebel yes, was only thinking about Twitter. and making that right might need changes to your template, but if it's bad in brigdy it's probably bad in indie readers etc too

[dougbeal] Gutenberg doesn’t seem ready for prime time. Also seemed to break post preview.

Loqi [hoducha] wp-markdown-editor: Markdown Editor for Wordpress
#
[miklb] me fork I meant
#
GWG [miklb]: What are you up to?
#
[miklb] my immediate itch is to get auto syndicating going for replies & reposts now that Indigenous is working for me.
#
[miklb] otherwise not too much indieweb stuff lately
#
[miklb] I guess updating my server to Debian stretch is indieweb
[dougbeal] joined the channel
#
GWG [miklb]: Auto, as in syncing in the background, not by target?

GWG I keep forgetting
