beko[m] Interesting: [09/Sep/2019:13:57:10 +0200] "GET /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/nodeinfo HTTP/1.1" 200 252 "-" "MastoPeek v0.7.2 - https://mastopeek.app-dist.eu"
#
beko[m] It also asked for `/api/v1/instance` and `/api/statusnet/config.json` (404)
#
beko[m] and `/.well-known/nodeinfo` (200)
#
beko[m] This even lists by wordpress https://fediverse.network/wordpress
#
beko[m] https://fediverse.network/beko.famkos.net eh - mine 😁

#
beko[m] o/ [pfefferle]
#
beko[m] yours is here as well: https://fediverse.network/pfefferle.org 😁
#
beko[m] all neatly sorted.
#
[pfefferle] yes!
#
[pfefferle] you can also register for https://the-federation.info/
#
[pfefferle] you can also use the dedicated plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/nodeinfo/
#
[pfefferle] this has some more functionalities
#
Loqi [Matthias Pfefferle] Description NodeInfo is an effort to create a standardized way of exposing metadata about a server running one of the distributed social networks. The two key goals are being able to get better insights into the user base of distributed social netwo...
#
[pfefferle] It is compatible with the activitypub plugin and does also support webmentions

GWG Someday I should try ActivityPub
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I sent you an update to the avatar PR
#
GWG It caches the gravatar data as a transient when appropriate, as opposed to an alternative methodology.
#
beko[m] Cool
#
GWG It was trying to address the issue of webmentions querying gravatar even though they typically have no email addresses
#
beko[m] Will give it a try 👍️
#
GWG Oh, different cool
#
GWG All of pfefferle's work is Cool
#
beko[m] That's also cool 🙂
#
beko[m] I do not want any gravatar lookups. None.
#
beko[m] It'S so freakin hard to beat this out of Wordpress
#
GWG Install avatar privacy
#
GWG It supports that
#
GWG I proposed it should be reworked in Core, but it is too late to fully remove
#
beko[m] Hm. Got `Avatar Manager` but this results in some odd things. May even be the root cause of https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/287
#
GWG It's coming from Semantic Linkbacks.
#
GWG It's the feature I am trying to deprecate in favor of a new implementation in Webmentions
#
beko[m] damn. wrong again 😆
#
GWG It was caching the mystery avatar on a permanent basis, which was an issue
#
GWG If we merge the code into webmentions... then I might propose removing the duplicate code from Semantic Linkbacks
#
GWG I have not discussed that with pfefferle..
#
GWG The long term goal is to merge some of the functionality, but figuring out how to proceed is challenging
#
beko[m] specially without breaking existing stuff
#
beko[m] Okay… so if I understand this correct: Nodeinfo is a protocol by Diaspora. Are there any syndication plugins you can recommend for this? Currently using WP to diaspora*
#
[pfefferle] 🙂
#
[pfefferle] GWG I would also like to remove the avatar code if it is merged
#
[pfefferle] at least remove the require if webmention version => XX
#
[pfefferle] regarding the caching… I would cache it even longer
#
[pfefferle] why not weeks?
#
[pfefferle] We can add a button to clear the cache...
#
GWG Then clear if new comment received
#
[pfefferle] Or like that
#
[pfefferle] But I read only “caching” Perhaps I should have a look at the code first...
#
GWG I can also add a config setting
#
GWG Yes, but it isn't saving the image
#
GWG Just whether there is a gravatar
