[Erik] I checked with some people and it gives the impression that you can't add an alt to an image when using the Twitter API. Very disssapointing
#

#
@benUNC @erikkroes Most of the click-to-tweet plugins out there (mine included) use the web intents API, and there's no way to natively send an image at all over that, unless you are retweeting a tweet with an image in it. To my knowledge theres no way over that particular API to add alt text. (twitter.com/_/status/1286701355080482816)
#
sknebel [Erik]: that's specifically about the web intents, which you'd use for a public "share this article" link under a post etc
#
sknebel (tbh I didn't even know you could post images with that at all)
#
sknebel ah, misread, you can't. which makes sense
#
sknebel not the REST API you'd use for syndication from server side
#
sknebel which can upload images, and give them an alt text
#
[Erik] Ah, I didnt see it in the REST API before. But this looks promising: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/media/upload-media/api-reference/post-media-upload

beko On Micropub Update 2.2.0: What does this mean for me as a user? "Remove IndieAuth Client code, will now require the IndieAuth or other plugin that does not yet exist."?
#
GWG beko: Do you have the IndieAuth plugin installed?i
#
beko GWG: I do but still 3.4.2 as 3.5.0 suggests breaking changes and I was not sure about it's impact. Was going to upgrade eventually with time and a backup at hand
#
beko I'm also using Yarn and I think it has duplicate code on the matter
#
GWG Does it suggest breaking changes?
#
GWG If you have IndieAuth installed, nothing should happen
#
GWG As for 3.5.0, it does redo how token permissions are handled which I would definitely upgrade first
#
beko Not really but version number doesn't suggest a minor patch and I'm not exactly sure how this interacts with e.g. said Yarn, Micro* and else.
#
GWG beko: Yarns always turned off it's auth code if IndieAuth was enabled. Same as Micropub
#
GWG So the difference is that Micropub no longer has auth code
#
beko I see, thanks for clarifying

#
beko woah. missed that. there is definetly something odd going on with Yarn. Seems to skip some beats
#
GWG Beats?
#
GWG I know jackjamieson is busy of late
#
beko ah… as in status/feed updates. Sorry, that's probably influenced slang from Monitoring where a beat is some sort of status update
#
GWG I have things I might propose for Yarns when his schedule frees up

#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Did you update Micropub?
#
[chrisaldrich] I did earlier today and I was just about to file an issue. Looks like my endpoint isn't working now for some reason...
#
GWG Oh?
#
[chrisaldrich] here's the "gist" of it: https://gist.github.com/chrisaldrich/5653b1c1111361afdaaed818e0effa7f
#
[chrisaldrich] though looking back at it, it may have first failed when I updated IndieAuth a few days ago....
#
[chrisaldrich] the gist failure notice was generated by quill btw.
#
GWG Did you update IndieAuth?
#
GWG And save the config page?
#
[chrisaldrich] I did update IndieAuth. Don't recall if I saved the config page though... I'll try that and see if that makes a difference
#
[chrisaldrich] Nope, same error message.
#
GWG I need to fix any problems
#
GWG Can you check error logs?
#
[chrisaldrich] Looks like when I updated IndieAuth plugin a few days ago my webhook to Micropub quit functioning, so the problem first appeared there.
#
[chrisaldrich] let me see what I can find. Wasn't there a quick plugin that did that? I seem to have purged it.
#
[chrisaldrich] Was it debug quick look iirc?

#
GWG Not sure
#
GWG This is why I waited three days after the IndieAuth update to do the other update...
#
GWG Can you run Site Health as well?
#
GWG I don't want to leave you in trouble.
#
[chrisaldrich] I just rolled back to IndieAuth 3.4.2 and can confirm that Quill will work again (with the newest Micropub update), so it's likely something hiding in IndieAuth.
#
GWG Okay, but I need to figure out what
#
GWG Because I'm using the latest of both and things are working
#
GWG New token or old token?
#
GWG Did you try requesting a new token under version 3.5?
#
GWG Or reusing an existing one?
#
GWG I'm wondering if I somehow invalidated existing tokens... I did that once before
#
[chrisaldrich] I reauthorized Quill with 3.5 and it didn't work, rolled back to 3.4.2 (with no new token) and it did work.
#
GWG Hmmm....
#
[chrisaldrich] Let me see if one of the old tokens with the webhooks I created works...
#
GWG I really need the server error log to figure out what it might be
#
[chrisaldrich] nothing big under site health other than that I need to bump up to the newest version of WordPress and I have a few old themes/inactive plugins that need to be removed....
#
GWG Okay... mystery so far
#
GWG I need to fix the time server on my test site
#
GWG It's 2 minutes slow
#
GWG It's something more subtle I guess
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: You know if I can, I will find it
#
[chrisaldrich] If you want a test account to help out, let me know.
#
[chrisaldrich] I'm not seeing anything at all in the logs.
#
[chrisaldrich] goes to take a late lunch break for a bit... also need to dig back a few days to recover the lost data...
