not too much, have been doing a little here and there on my site with the micropub stuff. Need to separate out the notes from articles. Want to switch from the indie jekyll theme to a personalized design

Evening, gRegorLove
#
gRegorLove
+1 for skipping paper.li links via Loqi.
#
Loqi
yeah!
#
gRegorLove
paper.li just aggregates content based on things you like/retweet/interact with on Twitter and auto-tweets an obnoxious "newspaper" daily.
#
gRegorLove
I honestly suspect most of the accounts that seem to only be tweeting it are abandoned accounts that the paper.li app is still connected to.

!tell tantek photosrcalt template looks OK in general, though requires the full URL of the image, which in the HWC you edited is only found by first using the [[File]] MediaWiki syntax. Using the exact URL loses the ability to easily re-size like the [[File]] format, too.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
gRegorLove
!tell tantek A nice improvement would be if it accepted just the File:filename.jpg format and expanded the full image URL, and also accepted fully URL's for off-site images.

petermolnar
question: how many of you are filling in the h-card p-nickname to show nicks that would be useful for people-tag @mentions? eg. I know tantek is tantek.com, but right now, I can't find any automated way to query this info from tantek.com - it's either tantek.com or full name. The only place I could turn for this information is the irc-people page.

#
jonnybarnes
are we not using #indieweb now?
#
petermolnar
good question
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: does everyone have to advertise a nickname? Is there a fallback you can use?
#
petermolnar
of course there is a fallback: either the domain name or the full name
#
petermolnar
but it would be nice to have the commonly used handle in the h-card, wouldn't it?
#
KartikPrabhu
if people want to publish it, yes. if they don't then you use the fallback
#
petermolnar
KartikPrabhu yes, that is trivial and is a solution. However, I was asking if anyone is actively filling it in or not, mostly to understand why it's uncommon to do so.
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe because there hasn't been a use case for it. Is there a consumer/use-case for adding explicit nicknames?
#
petermolnar
yes, to have @ handles for people-tagging

#
Loqi
j4y_funabashi: tantek left you a message 17 hours, 56 minutes ago: let's figure out any difference (or places that need more detail) that might exist with things like person tags or salmention. I'd prefer to incorporate those directly into post type discovery http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-07-03/line/1467568394086
#
j4y_funabashi
At the moment I just enter urls for person tags
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: sure. But why do I need to publish a nickname so that you can use it as a @ handle?
#
j4y_funabashi
But I am planning on having some sort of lookup that tries to convert the url to a human name
#
petermolnar
uhm, because why not?
#
petermolnar
KartikPrabhu you don't; no one has to. You are one of the few who is using their full name as handle here and there; others don't
#
j4y_funabashi
petermolnar: do you fallback to name before url?
#
petermolnar
eg. GWG, tantek, aaronpk; their domains, names, and handles are 3 different thing
#
petermolnar
and the handle is not usually published
#
KartikPrabhu
so are mine, if you count capitalisation and underscores
#
KartikPrabhu
i am assuming handles means Twitter
#
petermolnar
j4y_funabashi I've had an initial run at people-tags, but that way pulling and parsing irc-people, which is cheating; this is a second attempt and nothing is decided yet
#
petermolnar
probably name before url, yes
#
petermolnar
'handle' in this context means an announced nick they'd preferred to be referred in a reply/post/mention
#
petermolnar
there are cases when the tld-less domain name is a good fallback as well, but not always
#
petermolnar
especially not if it's a domain hack
#
j4y_funabashi
I was thinking that I could use my phone contacts as a way to resolve names too, most of my friends that I would person tag are on Facebook so I can't really fetch their hcard

#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: right, that is what I mean. people can publish nicknames if they want to but they should not have to
#
petermolnar
no, of course not. but right now nearly no one does it and I would like to know why; is it something people forgot, never thought of, don't want, etc?
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe because they've never had to
#
petermolnar
so never thought of :)
#
KartikPrabhu
more like "never needed"

lot of work on parsing content, auto-exporting things in plaintext for archiving purposes, lots of automation which fills things in instead of me (because I tend to forget to do so), but these are just itches and scratches and only for me :)

I want to automate things so I don't have to do them too.

i got quill working with my micropub endpoint, including syndication :D!!!
#
aaronpk
ooh nice!
#
jonnybarnes
thankfully quill still sends form-encoded requests to a micropub endpoint, so I’ve only needed to update the responses of my endpoint to use JSON
#
aaronpk
yep. i still think form-encoded requests are much easier to handle.
#
aaronpk
at least for the simple requests like creating posts

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[tantek]
Aaronpk, check /indieweb.org - I tried to write up / separate more of the "current state" vs today's changes vs later maybe steps vs brainstorming
#
[tantek]
Still needs some more cleaning up but should be good enough to make today happen
#
aaronpk
okay. i thought that whole page was for after today. i was only working off of the rename to indieweb.org page today.
#
aaronpk
[tantek]: you said you were going to rewrite these "general issues" to be phrased in the positive, so that people can look at them and know what to do, rather than what not to do. http://indiewebcamp.com/indieweb.org#General_Issues
#
[tantek]
Yes you're correct on both counts
#
[tantek]
I updated the /indieweb.org page because we have an expectation of the wiki always reflecting current state vs proposals vs brainstorms and we needed that there.
#
[tantek]
Also the general issues need to be split out per proposal, in addition to the list of actual current issues being split out from under any specific proposal
#
[tantek]
Btw where are we capturing potential new channels (beyond today, i.e. channels we decided we could postpone eg indieweb-wordpress)?
#
aaronpk
hmm we don't have a spot yet. it's only been mentioned on https://indiewebcamp.com/2016/Leaders so far i think
#
aaronpk
we should probably reorganize some of the wiki pages around IRC/chat after today, and then they can go there

for open source: 2+ years of no changes in primary repo, and selfdogfood abandonment :)

but the website continues to be edited via github pull requests sent to me

ok aaronpk, I'm going to separate (on the wiki) specifically the things you have indicated as part of your to do list

basically as the primary implementer of this change, I'm assuming you're not putting it in the etherpad unless you have to make a decision one way or another *today*

oh I didn't include anything about the newsletter because nothing is changing
#
tantek
as opposed to the highly-related but more nice-to-have-maybe things

I'm overall +1 on it all though, I won't run in and add new ideas this late :)
#
aaronpk
interesting point
#
voxpelli
but a /main/2016-01-01 would have looked better to me so that they are all at the same level – that would enable an archive of all channels (overview style) at a higher hierarchical level for example

i guess my instinct was that the channel was higher level in the hierarchy of information

so if you remove path segments from the right, each path makes sense
#
bear
that ^^
#
aaronpk
whereas it's not obvious what should be at just a date url that represents multiple channels
#
bear
going from specific to general you lose information with date first
#
voxpelli
but /dev discussions are never part of "/main" discussions which I would expect when moving one step higher in the hierarchy, but too late for that feedback now :)

aaronpk, "it's not obvious what should be at just a date url" - already says in the existing proposal on the wiki - just the main channel
#
tantek
"if you remove path segments from the right, each path makes sense" <-- is true in either case
#
aaronpk
then that makes me super not want to use date-primary urls
snarfed joined the channel
#
tantek
voxpelli: not too late because we haven't figured it out!
#
tantek
aaronpk is there some storage / generation issue?
#
bear
wait - why is this an item for discussion - the descriptive text below "short scheme" has a concrete example
#
aaronpk
this is adding a new option to the pool that was not yet considered
#
tantek
bear - because every other instance of stuff we've done (including /URL_design ) has date first
#
aaronpk
but the previous options had concrete examples
#
bear
it says "Sub channel logs: {base}/dev and {base}/dev/2016-07-04" which is what we voted for
#
tantek
bear - not necessarily. people only saw two options, so voted one over the other
#
tantek
short vs long scheme
#
tantek
that's the only thing you can really claim people "voted" on
#
bear
no, the short scheme included an example which says what the short scheme was
#
tantek
so clearly people want a short(er) scheme
#
tantek
over a longer scheme
#
bear
I disagree
#
bear
the example is clearly associated with "short scheme"
#
tantek
bear, from a spec reading perspective, I see examples as non-normative, as one *possible* example

adding the issue is, IMO, rewriting the vote
#
tantek
bear - or pointing out that the vote only established one detail, not two
#
bear
I don't follow that at all
#
tantek
besides, there's a very small number of votes on that particular detail

orthagonal to the discussion
snarfed joined the channel
#
bear
the number of votes does not remove the fact that the item *had* an clear example of the url pattern
#
tantek
bear - it means not many people were paying attention
#
tantek
which is usually not a good sign
#
tantek
and means more input needed
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
tantek
perhaps because of ambiguity
#
bear
again, not a clear reason to insert an issue about url pattern
#
tantek
bear, I've seen far too many examples here (and on the wiki) of people *not* reading (and thus having to have to be pointed out) details like that
#
tantek
just happened the other day in IRC
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
bear
you can say because you think people were not paying attention is a reason to reframe the question, but that doesn't mean that the people who voted should have thieir votes changed indirectly
#
tantek
so I reject your assumption that a vote means a vote for *all* details (as opposed to voting a vs. b overall when there are two choices)
#
tantek
bear - that's why I added the issue *after* the existing votes
#
tantek
since there's no way to tell what each person "meant" by their vote
#
tantek
you're assuming all details. I'm saying you can't assume all details.
#
bear
I'm too tired with life in general right now to get into pendantic reasons why votes don't count or not or to have other people tell me my thoughts are assumptions *and* that they are wrong

i don't think adding the issue like tantek did is implying old votes are invalid

I am thinking of adding a better Webmention display to the WordPress dashboard
#
tantek
aaronpk - your question just points out that the votes *did* have assumptions that you were not assuming!
#
tantek
because from the "short scheme" text:
#
tantek
"Main channel logs: {base}/ and {base}/2016-07-04 "
#
tantek
and you specifically asked "it's not obvious what should be at just a date url"
#
tantek
what's more confusing about that is that shouldn't {base}/ be the "chat application home page" ?
#
tantek
which says all sorts of things about joining, different channels, different networks etc. etc.?
#
tantek
this is why this "vote" didn't make sense
#
aaronpk
that sounds like new content
#
aaronpk
there is no home page on the current chat logs, there's just logs

aaronpk: but the whole argument about using a subdomain was "this is a chat app!"

not that prior art should be taken as a given... but in my experience consuming chat logs over the decades, it's always been service/channel/date

nope, prior art is good data

if for any better reason than it makes walking thru a backlog of chat easier because you only have to change the last bit of the url to go forward/backwards a day

another example, slack URLs are {subdomain}.slack.com/archives/{channel}/p{timestamp}

oh that's a thought

explicit /archive/ or /log/ at the start of the path

thus we can still get the glorious promise chat app at the /

aaronpk thoughts on /log or /archive ?
#
tantek
looking at the other chat log examples made me think of that
#
aaronpk
i'm on the fence about it still
#
tantek
sounds like a solid "0" ;)
#
aaronpk
it doesn't seem necessary since everything on chat.indieweb.org is logs
#
tantek
it does read nicer out of context
#
tantek
the URLs that is
#
bear
for me /log | /archive is nice because it allows for / | /dev to be landing pages for a channel - rules, faq, web interface
#
aaronpk
so far we've avoided the need for that by just dropping you right into the chat logs which is the same place you go to join the channel, which i kind of like
#
tantek
even if for now /dev redirects to /log/dev/today
#
voxpelli
and we should not have a landing page for chat in general at / where we can eg. link to Slack signup, channel overview etc?
#
bear
does the chat logs allow for non-js retrieval
#
tantek
voxpelli I think you meant "and should we not"
#
voxpelli
even if / just says "Chat stuff -> see more at wiki page"
#
aaronpk
when the page first loads, all content is in the HTML
#
aaronpk
JS brings in new content in realtime
#
voxpelli
tantek: sort of, yeah :P
#
bear
hmm, then i'm also becoming a +0 for log|archive
#
tantek
does it mean log|archive is just a holdover from static non-interactive logs?

yea, that's why i'm changing my thoughts

with the js adding value for humans (and not being known at all for computers) then it's old form

aaronpk, one nicety of having explicit /dev vs /log URLs is that the /dev URL can start with an immediate prompt for user name
#
tantek
instead of having a "join" button that you have to click first to get a text area
#
tantek
it's like what's the verb of the URL. chat.indieweb.org/dev says to me start chatting in indieweb-dev
#
tantek
whereas chat.indieweb.org/log/dev or /dev/log says to me show me the log for today
#
tantek
does that difference in intent make sense? think about it from a sharing the URL (and linking to it) perspective
#
aaronpk
kind of
#
tantek
the fewer clicks for people to be able to join the discussion is good
#
tantek
similarly, I'd like to be able to share the current logs with someone without them getting prompted to join

(#sorrynotsorry 😂)

aaronpk to start with there will likely be no search indexing of the new domain's chat logs, just saying it takes them a while to crawl

so I think that means you can leave out any 3rd party search box

[voxpelli] @pgeuder Inclusion is important and it's something that's actively thought about – see eg. http://indiewebcamp.com/generations /cc @brokep

when I imported it to my text file, it came through as \u00e2\u20ac\u201c

now when i'm outputting that in the HTML, it's showing up as –
#
aaronpk
where's the source of the problem?
#
tantek
dang no wikipedia article on –
#
aaronpk
and i'm sending the utf-8 content type header already
#
tantek
sounds like the "imported to text file" step corrupted it
#
aaronpk
checks if it's stored correctly in the database
#
[kevinmarks]
Looks like a u+2013 to me should be E2 80 93 in utf8
#
aaronpk
ah that might be where the problem is. i imported it from a *copy* of the database that might have it wrong
#
tantek
mysql?
#
tantek
yeah...
#
aaronpk
oh jeez. i think it's always been wrong in the DB
#
aaronpk
even though this table is set to utf8mb4
#
[kevinmarks]
So how does it show right on the web?
#
aaronpk
it's passing the chars through without trying to interpret them?
#
aaronpk
💩
#
aaronpk
yeah that's stored as "💩"
#
aaronpk
i will be very happy to get ridof this database today
#
tantek
ok I think this deserves its own heading
#
aaronpk
so uh, I need to "convert" these back to utf8 when i write the text file
#
tantek
how about UTF-8-my-charset ?
#
tantek
too punny?
#
[kevinmarks]
However you're writing them to the server now is working
#
aaronpk
it's "working" by coincidence
#
aaronpk
theyre stored wrong in the database

[kevinmarks]
I just found that blogs.com stores images without extensions, so spiderpig turns them into directories with index.html in
#
[kevinmarks]
Also in a directory called ".a" so this is not obvious

They're stored wrong in the db, but it converts them to something right when serving but not dumping?

there has to be a solution other than replacing individual occurrences of strings
#
aaronpk
this might be a dealbreaker for me right now, and i can just fall back to using the existing logging system for now
#
bear
punt on it for now - once they are flatfiles we can fix them as needed
#
aaronpk
i don't want to switch to flat-file logging in this state
#
bear
the error is only happening on converted item? so that can be fixed post launch IMO
#
bear
if anything add a log item if possible showing the file + line of the output to allow for faster finds
#
[kevinmarks]
You don't want to replace individual occurrences
#
[kevinmarks]
But the current log generation is doing the right thing
#
[kevinmarks]
So somehow MySQL is being told to behave correctly in that path
#
aaronpk
they're definitely stored wrong in mysql right now
#
bear
could it be that the library your using to write/read from mysql is both causing the issue on write but also reversing the mistake on read?

aaronpk
they're totally unrelated pieces of code

I have a feeling PHP may be doing magic fixup

aaronpk
i think what's happening is there is *no* fixup being done, so by the time it reaches the browser it's the correct bytes because nothing was changed.
#
aaronpk
but anything that tries to be smart about what encoding the string is gets it wrong
#

that library fixed a bunch of accented chars, but missed ellipses

who, me?
#
[kevinmarks]
Scrape the existing log pages as they are right?
#
[kevinmarks]
Spiderpig fixed btw
#
aaronpk
nah more like just continue rendering the logs from the DB as they are now
#
bear
how many rows are we talking about? could you take the log page generation code and isolate it to loop thru the database and generate the flat file?
#
aaronpk
735,000 rows
#
bear
that's not much at all
#
aaronpk
i already have a script that converts those into the flat file format
#
aaronpk
and updated the log viewer to read the flat file format
#
aaronpk
but i can switch back to querying the DB
#
bear
I don't think that was what I was suggesting
#
[kevinmarks]
So what is the flat file writing script doing different than the db querying log viewer?
#
bear
my suggestion is to scrape you current script and use the log viewer with a hack to have it start at the beginning and work forward while writing an html page that isn't really a page
#
bear
then post-process that to generate your flat file
#
[kevinmarks]
Sending to a browser rather than a file?
#
aaronpk
i'm not sure i understand
#
aaronpk
by "flat file" i don't mean it's writing HTML files. it's actually json-encoding an object that has all the data for the line.
#
[kevinmarks]
Is the encoding mojibake happening in the file writing, or the file reading?
#
aaronpk
it ends up wrong in the file
#
[kevinmarks]
So, in json.put?
#
aaronpk
also if i just echo the line to the console it's wrong
#
[kevinmarks]
This is in php?
#
bear
apologies if this just makes your head explode... does it look right if you sql dump the database?
#
bear
if so, then you could process that file to generate your text-file-that-has-embedded-json-bits file
#
aaronpk
let me check, i doubt it tho
#
bear
(i'm just trying to see if there is some way to avoid the php json put glitch)

#
KevinMarks
are you passing JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE to json_encode()
#
KevinMarks
that's supposed to send he chars as utf8 not \u escaped
#
aaronpk
so mysqldump ends up writing things like '💩'
#
bear
so mysqldump is probably just writing bytes and not even trying to encode
#
KevinMarks
Ÿ isn't in iso 8859-1
#
KevinMarks
(which was a mistake for ij)
#
KevinMarks
(does it show that I spent over a year of my life dealing with encoding at Technorati)
#
aaronpk
now i'm wondering if my mysqldump and restore had something to do with this
#
KevinMarks
are you using mbstring in PHP?
#
KevinMarks
mysqldump and restore could well mangle things yes
#
aaronpk
no but i'm also not really using any string functions on the data
#
KevinMarks
mbstring does complicate things I think without ti strings are just bytes, but my php is a bit out of date
#
KevinMarks
did the JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE make a difference?

Afternoon, indieweb

I saw there's utf8 encoding issues. wee.

gRegorLove: [tantek] left you a message 5 hours, 53 minutes ago: I have no idea how to auto-extract the actual jpg url from the fake file: media wiki .jpg up that is not actually a jpg :P http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-07-04/line/1467649457852
#
gRegorLove
Can the last part of that be translated? ^ :)
#
KevinMarks
more that there's MySQL made-up encoding issues
#
gRegorLove
I have a PHP script I've used to correct coerced utf8 characters in non-utf8 columns that's worked pretty well in the past. I can put up a gist of it.
#
@kevinmarks
@benjamin_ashley @ftrain more that you learn how many successive bad design decisions MySQL made about unicode.

gRegorLove: sorry for my confusing .jpg vs jpg
#
gRegorLove
I wasn't sure "up that is not actually a jpg" meant
#
gRegorLove
I'm not sure offhand. There's probably some Mediawiki magic way
#
tantek
this is not a jpeg: https://indiewebcamp.com/File:hwc-got-2016-05-29.jpeg - it's an HTML page with a jpeg inside
#
tantek
there's probably some mediawiki magic to make the [[File:... magic actually style more nicely, like with a max-width:100% inside

see, CSS *can* be AWESOME
#
gRegorLove
I love CSS
#
gRegorLove
(when it doesn't frustrate me :))
#
tantek
alright, the harder part is getting the u-photo onto an actual image URL
#
tantek
that unfortunately likely requires hacking Vector
#
tantek
and it's not like every File: image embed should be a u-photo either
#
tantek
more like, there should be a way to pass in a class attr value
#
gRegorLove
Once we upgrade: "class={html class} — (MediaWiki 1.20+) Defines classes (maps to the HTML attribute class="..." of the generated <img /> element)."
#
tantek
was just trying that
#
aaronpk
oh boy. i just tried launching the DB version of the new logs on the real server and i'm still getting the encoding issues
#
aaronpk
i think now the only difference is the DB library i'm using to retrieve the results from mysql
#
tantek
gah, gRegorLove MW <1.20 gives alt="class=u-photo" :(
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: table columns have the right collation character set, and connection is set explicitly to utf8?
#
aaronpk
not exactly
#
tantek
wow MW is so dumb at filtering I may be able to hack it >:D
#
aaronpk
but the weird thing is the current logs behave like i want, but new logs don't, despite them being on the same server and using the same DB
