the hardest part of writing helper libs is knowing what intermediate data to bubble up to the caller's layer
#
bear
like for relme - does a caller need to be able to see how many redirects were found for each possible rel=me target found in the profile and also in the resource page
#
bear
is talking out loud for his own sanity

I'd claim this is what the "POSSE" in my #domainname means if I'd not already said it's plural for "possum": http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE

hah, funny. this tweet contains the text '(e.g. subtitle)', so bridgy interprets it as a permashortcitation and tries to send a webmention to http://e.g/subtitle
#
Loqi
https://twitter.com/jkphl :: @NamelessCoder Is there any way of rendering fluidpages record values to the page backend module (e.g. subtitle) similar as /w fluidcontent?
#
aaronpk
snarfed: it shouldn't do that unless it's at the end, and should only match http://*
#
snarfed
hmm. i followed http://indiewebcamp.com/permashortcitations and e.g. tantek's examples, which don't use http://
#
aaronpk
oh sorry right
#
snarfed
but you're right about the end part
#
aaronpk
section under "The specific format of a parenthetical permashortlink citation is:"
tantek joined the channel
#
aaronpk
e.g. shouldn't match a domain name regex cause it ends with a "."
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
aaronpk
"e.g" may match a domain regex though
#
snarfed
agreed
#
aaronpk
although actually there aren't any one-char TLDs, is that a thing?
#
snarfed
iirc either leading or trailing periods (or both?) actually may be valid in domains. not sure
#
aaronpk
what? how?
#
snarfed
no clue. just a vague memory
#
snarfed
i suspect single char tlds are valid in the spec, even if none actually exist
#
snarfed
regardless, i can definitely tighten up my handling. i haven't pushed hard on the permashortcitation handling, since so few people used it
#
tantek
good morning #indiewebcamp!
#
snarfed
morning!
#
tantek
aaronpk, x.com
#
tantek
or did you mean .x ?
#
snarfed
we've been laughing about this: https://www.brid.gy/#twitter-jkphl
#
tantek
snarfed - I don't understand that thread at all
#
snarfed
we're laughing that bridgy incorrectly interpred (e.g. subtitle) in a tweet as a permashortcitation

that should help

yes. aaronpk pointed that out, i acknowledged

thanks bear, will have a look at that

jjuran
A dot at the end of a domain name means it's absolute, whereas resolution of foo.bar might search under your default domain name.
#
snarfed
thanks jjuran!
#
aaronpk
oh wow, TIL
#
aaronpk
now I understand why I have to enter a trailing dot in my bind config
#
tantek
jjuran which spec is that from?
#
jjuran
I don't remember, but I'll look for it.

thanks
friedcell joined the channel
#
tantek
fascinating
#
tantek
does this mean that all the ".com" links on pages can be hijacked by an intranet that hosts its own local domain and a "com" subdomain on that local domain?
#
tantek
or s/intranet/DHCProutercaptiveportal
#
aaronpk
that seems likely
_6a68 joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i've had that happen on a local network before
#
bear
that can be done just by running your own dns resolver and having dhcp enforce it
#
aaronpk
oh yeah even easier
#
aaronpk
well that's basically how wifi captive portals work anyway
#
bear
and with some work, you can even just have your edge router forward all dns to a server and it just spoofs whatever dns server you *thought* you were working with
#
bear
nods
#
tantek
does that mean wifi captive portals won't intercept links to domains ending with a "."?
#
aaronpk
they can just do that by giving their own DNS response
#
tantek
e.g. if I link to tantek.com./
#
bear
depends on how well they read the spec :)
#
tantek
will have to now try this on various captive portals to see what happens
#
bear
nods
#
tantek
needs a coffee from starbucks soon anyway ;)
#
bear
hahaha
#
aaronpk
wow these URLs look really weird http://indiewebcamp.com./why

#
vrypan
As mentioned already, a malicious DNS server can resolve anything to anything it wants.
#
vrypan
The only problem would be that defining an alternative authority for .com for example would just break so many services for your users.

So, i just did some calculations and apprently, I have to ask for 55195.54 US Dollar for a kickstarter project
#
EHLOVader
your project? or to donate/purchase from a project?

squeakytoy: what's your project?

I didn't see any past talk on it

YOLO and not for long, they saiy
#
squeakytoy
It will fail miserable
#
squeakytoy
But I owe it to myself to try
#
bret
Get started on what you can without the money so that it has a chance of not failing
#
EHLOVader
Even if it sucks you will have more experience than the other person who was waiting to implement thier's perfectly squeakytoy
#
squeakytoy
bret, thats an interesting topic tho. Indiegogo has a flexible mode too. Meaning, even if you dont get the full ammount (55200 USD for me) you still can get whatever you got
#
squeakytoy
bret, i havent decided if thats good or bad
#
squeakytoy
so, 55200 USD.. if to support the project would cost 10 USD... then I need to find 5520 people. Tahts maybe not so far fetched, hm, hm

"In 2012, Internet thought leader Maciej CegÅ‚owski rocked the startup community with his provocative slogan ‘Barely Succeed’, challenging prospective entrepreneurs to reject the lottery culture of Silicon Valley in favor of small, sustainable projects that could give them a more realistic shot at financial independence."
#
_6a68
nothing worse than being called an "internet thought leader", heh
#
bret
yeah, that was a little weird, but the idea seems like an apt response the feeling of 'you need how much to do what on a computer?'

I had an idea for crowd funding open source projects when sitting around today. Modest financial goals, that when met, unlock newer versions of the project.
#
bret
Patch 1.x will release when $100 have been donated by the community
#
aaronpk
that sounds like blackmail haha
#
bret
Some kind of timeout period could also be used
#
bret
IE after a week it just drops
#
bret
you could carry over excess funds to the next patch
#
bret
it assumes some amount of popularity to the project though
#
jernst
Tried to log into indiewebcamp.com. Had difficulties. Manually fixing the redirect URL to use https instead of http for Twitter worked. Perhaps there's a regex somewhere that can add a s? #isthisthebugfixdepartment
#
tantek
jernst - it's a security feature
#
jernst
tantek - the http or the https?
#
tantek
https
#
tantek
being required
#
aaronpk
which means that error needs to be surfaced better in the UI
#
tantek
aaronpk - this should at least be an FAQ on the wiki
#
tantek
it comes up frequently enough
#
jernst
I'm not understanding. On my page, I specify https://twitter... but somehow it showed up without the s in the URL?
#
aaronpk
that would be easier yes
#
tantek
aaronpk - an FAQ is a good start :)
#
aaronpk
it certainly is FA

#
tantek
oh that's odd jernst - aaronpk might have a better answer to that
#
aaronpk
hmm, unsure exactly. could you add more info in an issue here? https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/issues

tantek: I saw you mentioned me the other day but my bouncer did a bad job of keeping track of what you said!

brianloveswords - IndieWebCampNYC!
#
brianloveswords
tantek: Ah yes!!
#
tantek
looks like we have narrowed down to a preferred date
#
tantek
04-26..27
#
Loqi
!calc 04-26..27
#
tantek
now we need to coordinate with Jeremy at NYT for space
#
tantek
and you said you could help with sponsorship for food etc from the Moz side right?
#
brianloveswords
tantek: yep, I'll try to get in contact with the right people for that. 4/26–27 works for me, but we could potentially get a bigger crowd if we did 5/3 & 5/4 – EmpireJS is 5/5 & 5/6
#
brianloveswords
I don't know if you want to push it into May, though.
#
tantek
well I can't make it myself
#
tantek
have tentative plans to speak at a different conf 5/1-5/2
#
tantek
and usually for indiewebcamps it's good for organizers to be there *at least* the day before
#
brianloveswords
Ahh that'd be a bummer if you couldn't make it. I think we can probably stick with 4/26 & 27, then. I think we can get a good enough crew of locals & semi-locals.
#
tantek
I think we'll likely get a pretty big crowd with them anyway
#
tantek
plus some folks might even come over from Europe - since NYC is easier (than PST) to reach from EU
#
brianloveswords
True, that'd be great!

tantek: filling out the sponsorship form, do you have a ballpark number of attendees based on past experience?
#
tantek
we should do that based on capacity
#
tantek
I bet we will fill it up
#
Loqi
agreed.
#
tantek
(I think our capacity for the venue is somewhere between 50-100 - need to confirm with Jeremy)
#
brianloveswords
Okay! I'll give that range, should be fine.
