it's not so much that tantek's feed is wrong, more that feed readers' code pathd don't put it through their sanitizer and so it ends up having more style than other entries
#
tantek
my feed has too much style for your readers?

really?

GWG - KevinMarks had noted broken links in my blog post, so I was going through all the links in that post and found that the Buzz supposed read-only link had finally stopped working, so it was time to post about it
#
tantek
since Google claimed your Buzz permalinks would continue to work forever as read-only "Profile" or "Drive" links
#
GWG
I should activate that Wordpress plugin that does that
#
tantek
does what?
#
GWG
Checks for broken links
#
tantek
that would be cool

So, I've started work on an h-card widget.
#
GWG
Mostly because without it, my theme won't parse properly
#
tantek
interesting - what would an h-card widget do?
#
GWG
tantek: It displays an h-card
#
GWG
It pulls the info out of the user profile
#
GWG
Wordpress is designed as a multi-author/user system
#
GWG
So, the default would have dozens of h-cards in a page
#
GWG
In order to only have one, I opted to not hard-code it into the theme, instead making it a widget

still too early for me to decide
#
tantek
hadleybeeman, appears I misphrased that !tell - as I meant for all of you to propose your own sessions, on your particular indieweb topic(s) that you're passionate about.
#
tantek
rather than just one "indieweb" session
#
tantek
hadleybeeman, also, while you're here, add yourself to http://indiewebcamp.com/irc-people
#
tantek
tommorris: you too - update your entry on /irc-people to have an icon as well! your @tommorris has one, so your /irc-people entry should too!
#
tantek
!tell tommorris would LOVE to see you also propose a session on this at MozFest https://twitter.com/tommorris/status/499838335800840192 - so essential to the future of the web.
#

jonnybarnes
I'll just try it now actually
#
hadleybeeman
I'm currently afk, tantek (well, afbigscreen) — will try to sort later. are you coming to MozFest?
#

jonnybarnes: you too! you've got a twitter icon, so add your icon to /irc-people too! http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-08-17#t1408284192892

#
tantek
rascul, JS is good for replacing other procedural languages, and *enhancing* the UI. no functionality should "require" JS.
#
rascul
i agree with that
#
jonnybarnes
tantek some functinaloty requires js though
#
jonnybarnes
slippy maps for example
#
rascul
well, except for some cases, like the maps
#
jonnybarnes
a non-js impl would be terribly clunky to use
#
rascul
there would be other exceptions as well, but generally i agree
#
KartikPrabhu
jonnybarnes: rascul: clunky UX is better than no UX
#
jonnybarnes
will the logs eventually include my profile image? I'm assuming the "generic person A" image is cached for the timebeing
#
jonnybarnes
KartikPrabhu rascul: someone has to mantain that second UX though
#
tantek
jonnybarnes: "slippy" is an enhancement over clicking arrows to "scroll" the map. Mapquest totally worked like this - no JS required.
#
tantek
whether it was clunky or not was irrelevant to the fact that it was wildly successful and popular
#
tantek
jonnybarnes: 5 min cache
#
tantek
jonnybarnes: it shouldn't be a "2nd UX" - the non-JS version should be the *first* UX you build
#
tantek
then enhance it with JS
#
jonnybarnes
and the image is now showing in the logs
#
hadleybeeman
Ah, thanks for the reminder, tantek. need to see if I can escape for that and for dConstruct
#
tantek
hadleybeeman: it's going to be a blast - this year Clearleft is hosting IndieWebCamp at their new offices which are awesome!

#
KartikPrabhu
jonnybarnes: what tantak said. The non-JS UI should be the default, use JS to improve from there
#
jonnybarnes
but I feel in some cases (and a photo site such as flickr really should work without js) when you compare the non-js and js interfaces one is simply superior
#
jonnybarnes
slippy maps is a good example
#
jonnybarnes
they are far easier to use
#
tantek
jonnybarnes: of course the JS UX is superior, it should be! It's an *enhancement* above and beyond the non-JS UX!

GNU social was a thing beforehand, and then StatusNet merged (also a project called Free Social) into GNU social.

kylewm: well, GNU social and Free Social were both 'forks' of StatusNet by the time we merged.
#
kylewm
gotcha, that makes more sense
#
mattl
it was a little more complex than that, as one of the core StatusNet developers assigned all of his code to the FSF for the GNU social project, so parts of StatusNet were GNU social code, and vice versa. It made a lot more sense to have one project.
#
tommorris
jonnybarnes: I don't say No JS ever. But a lot of the time JS is overused to the detriment of both accessibility and UX

tantek
uh oh - Mattl - /projects is in the process of a pretty big overhaul
#
mattl
oh yeah? i'll stop editing then
#
aaronpk
what's the status on that btw?
#
tantek
both of those are documented on the page itself
#
aaronpk
r'stfm
#
tantek
which is the only way we can actually keep it incrementally going without the "state" being stuck in someone's head
#
tantek
mattl - for now - feel free to do discrete self-contained edits, like replacing StatusNet with GNU Social

Your homepage represents you on the web, typically at the top of your domain, and shows your name and an iconic representation, often marked up with h-card http://indiewebcamp.com/%F0%9F%8F%A0

tantek: i saved http://www.brightondigitalfestival.co.uk/events/indie-web-camp/ into the internet archive. we'll find out next year i guess.
#
mattl
aaronpk: is there any reason to not have indiewebcamp.com over HTTPS all the time?
#
tantek
mattl - nice!
#
mattl
ah, that looks like a WordPress issue.
#
mattl
i'll see if i can rustle up a bot that crawls new external pages on the wiki and auto-saves them to the Internet Archive.
#
tantek
that would be very cool!
#
tantek
mattl wordpress issue huh? is it specific to wordpress? or just a common wordpress error?
#
tantek
if it is WP specific, could you add it to http://indiewebcamp.com/WordPress#Criticism ?
#
mattl
i'd assume that http://www.brightondigitalfestival.co.uk/events/indiewebcamp-uk-2013/ is a page in WordPress and rather than updating it, they adeed a new page and deleted the old one. It's a common problem with WordPress that people don't edit the URL slug to a page they make.
#
GWG
mattl: Is that a criticism of Wordpress though?
#
tantek
but why update it at all? why delete it? it says 2013 in the URL
#
tantek
is there something in WordPress UI that encourages breaking permalinks?
#
GWG
tantek: You should never delete an old page. You can just de-link it
SRCR joined the channel
#
mattl
tantek: not sure why delete it, but i wouldn't say WordPress breaks permalinks or encourages it, but it does permit the editing of them and has some limited way to handle redirects.

he name checked his old domain? ;)
#
GWG
mattl: I just started on an h-card widget, because I made my theme I've been developing have the option of removing the individual h-cards from the posts on the archive/main pages
#
aaronpk
yay parsing html with regex. that's always a good idea, right?
#
mattl
aaronpk: so far my script to get all the URLs from a page is a one liner with dependencies on perl and lynx and a little regex :P
#
mattl
for url in $(lynx --source http://www.stallman.org | perl -ne 'if (/href="([^"]*)"/) { print "$1\n"; }' | grep http | grep "://" ); do wget -O- http://web.archive.org/save/$url; done
#
mattl
stallman.org chosen for the fact he links to about 900000 things from a single page.
#
aaronpk
there's actually a mediawiki api for finding external links on a page
#
mattl
psh. apis. just write an unmaintainable shell script.
#
aaronpk
just throwing that out there :)
#
mattl
sadly it doesn't work with Special:RecentChanges
#
aaronpk
oh man this is great!
#
tantek
mattl can you use thisweekinindieweb instead?
#
mattl
tantek: i could if i knew what it was
#
aaronpk
i'm making it so that if I link to an instagram photo or vine video in a note, it downloads the content and stores it on my server, and serves up my local copy
#
aaronpk
so that i'm not depending on instagram and vine URLs to stick around
#
tantek
why not use them like a CDN until they go away?
#
aaronpk
yeah I suppose I could. "until they go away" do you expect that would be manually discovered?
#
mattl
aaronpk: why not just save the URL to the internet archive while you're at it? just wget http://web.archive.org/save/http://vine-url.biz/ds234231213/
#
tantek
weekly background task on server doing head requests
#
mattl
doesn't know about vine URLs
#
aaronpk
mattl: the public vine URLs are basically a JS app. would that work if I sent the link to the raw video file?
#
aaronpk
the video URLs are pretty ugly though
#
mattl
they'll archive anything you can get them over HTTP or HTTPS
#
aaronpk
seems to work just fine with the archive.org url!
#
mattl
neat.
#
mattl
i had an idea to make an internet archive proxy.
#
mattl
where everything you look at is archived.
#
aaronpk
that'd be awesome
#
aaronpk
nobody has done that yet?
#
mattl
obviously, it can't archive things you're logged into like gmail, etc.
#
mattl
not afaik
#
aaronpk
hmm now i'm thinking how I could make this thing into its own project
#
aaronpk
i'm doing a lot of silo-specific ugly hacks to get the raw media
friedcell and dietrich joined the channel
#
aaronpk
I could instead set it up as its own thing where I'd instead link to <video src="http://external.aaronparecki.com/http://vine.co/v/bdPZjql17ip"> and that project would take care of archiving the raw video, and returning either the vine CDN or the local version depending on whether vine is up
#
tantek
exactly
#
aaronpk
that would actually be a relatively easy project to set up, and anyone could run it on a cheap php server
#
mattl
youtube-dl or get_flash_videos will likely do the download for you
#
tantek
aaronpk, sounds a lot like /indiearchive
#
aaronpk
kind of, except we haven't really talked about doing this extra step of public HTML URL to raw media
#
tantek
we have a bit, with subdomains like video. or photo.
#
aaronpk
as currently described, indiearchive would end up saving the giant JSON blob that's in http://vine.co/v/bdPZjql17ip rather than actually saving the mp4 file
#
aaronpk
this is what oembed is supposed to be for
#
aaronpk
and would be totally unnecessary if people would stop writing their sites as JS apps and actually ship HTML down the wire
#
mattl
is vine.co the real domain for vine, or a shortener?
#
aaronpk
it's the real domain
#
mattl
i'm a little obsessed with archiving everything right now.
#
mattl
fotopedia closed down with not much notice, and i spent a week scrambling to get all the CC licensed photos out of it
#
mattl
success though. i have a 280gb zip file.
#
mattl
yeah, 303,000 photos.
#
mattl
and the metadata.
#
aaronpk
tantek: ok for now locally archiving the vine video and then embedding with a raw <video> tag pointing to the vine CDN rather than using their fancy iframe embed. will manually switch to serving local URLs when vine goes away

#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
aaronpk
well that was a fun distraction
#
mattl
can we put an explicit CC0 notice on indiewebcamp.com and get it working over HTTPS only? :)
#
aaronpk
I thought there was already a cc0 notice?
#
mattl
not seeing one
#
tantek
hmm - thought we had one in the footer
#
aaronpk
Also on the edit page
#
tantek
it is on the edit page!
#
aaronpk
hm yeah not in the footer tho
#
tantek.com
created /copyright (+37) "r"
(view diff)
#
mattl
i think you can add this to LocalSettings.php
#
tantek
we likely need to edit the footer template where it says "This page was last modified on …" to add a line below it.
#
kylewm
so GNU social supports mf2 now, but seemingly everyone over there uses a self-signed SSL cert, so i can't fetch pages easily
#
tantek
do they require https?
#
kylewm
"When you first get in decentralized social networks, it is a real pain in the ass to allow all those self-signed certificates."
#
aaronpk
How do they expect people to see their sites with self signed certs?
#
mattl
are they self-signed or just signed with something like CAcert?
#
mattl
its likely people are just getting free certs from some place that's common to GNU people but not anyone else.
#
aaronpk
That would at least make a little more sense
#
kylewm
mattl: ohhh the one I was complaining about was CA Cert
#
kylewm
oops!
#
kylewm
I will add this to /ssl
#
kylewm
unless someone more knowledgeable wants to?
#
elliottucker
hi all. just back from the zoo and have an important Q. Has anyone got Known working on nginx?

#
kylewm
well, decided to assume it wasn't possible

indie-visitor and Kopfstein joined the channel
#
aaronpk
another idea for the external link embedding thingy
#
aaronpk
I realized that instagram URLs may be a photo or a video, and you don't know which until you look at what's there
#
tantek
hence media.example.com
#
aaronpk
so I think what I actually want is a service that not only returns the raw media URL, but can also return the proper HTML for embedding
#
aaronpk
otherwise I don't know whether to write an <img> tag or a <video> tag
#
aaronpk
so really I'd end up doing something like <?= file_get_contents('http://external.aaronparecki.com/http://vine.co/v/bdPZjql17ip') ?> and it would write the <video> or <img> tag as appropriate
#
tantek
if only there were a <media src=""> tag that you could *embed* ;)
#
aaronpk
of course the other way to handle this is to make the service return microformat-enabled HTML so that it can include all sorts of other things like the post name, date, etc
#
aaronpk
but then the consumer (my site) has to do a bunch more work to format it
#
tantek
it was supposed to be a (bad) joke about <embed src="">
#
mattl
well, this is interesting. i have a user who wants to use GNU social so i'm working step by step with them to get it installed.
#
kylewm
i don't know php *at all* though
#
sparverius
5GNU social, true to the Unix-philosophy of small programs to do a small job, will be a federated social network that you can install on your own server

sparverius
that sounds awesome
#
sparverius
what's the horrible, horrible catch

that doesn't look to troublesome to fix...will have a go.

pdurbin: I just logged in the indiewebcamp site
#

V_S_C: that means you have your own domain. nice
#
V_S_C
thnx, I'm using Bailador, that's Sinatra DSL's PERL6 counterpart
#
V_S_C
I chose to start with IndieWebify.Me
#
pdurbin
ah. Dancer on Perl 6. ok
#
V_S_C
Dancer is PERL5 counterpart of Sinatra DSL, & NancyFx is the ASP.net one
#
V_S_C
The first thing that troubled me was invisible metadata stuff.
#
pdurbin
I didn't know Dancer was so heavily inspired by Sinatra but ok.
#
pdurbin
"Dancer was inspired by Sinatra" http://www.perldancer.org/about :)
#
V_S_C
PERL6 is "community" rewrite, & by the time I looked at it, elders were backporting from it to PERL5
#
pdurbin
sure. every once in a while I hang out in #perl6
#
pdurbin
ok, like meta keywords. invisible
#
V_S_C
The metadata, I am using LOC DNS record rather than ICBM. Locating my (server's) abode seems better than stalking myself everytime I author any page, viz. out of context with the page's intended content
#
V_S_C
Also, I didn't feel like advertising for silos (they wont pay me ;) so used link tags
#
V_S_C
When logging in indiewebcamp, the sms never arrived
#
V_S_C
Then I looked once more on the getting started page
#
V_S_C
The silos mentioned to be free mail hosts charge for custom domains!
#
V_S_C
& Platform as a Service, I just didn't get as it mentioned language-specific runtime.
#
kylewm
hmm, yeah "language-specific" seems misleading there, as all of them can use multiple languages
#
V_S_C
Yahoo's tumblr, Google's blogger & GitHub's pages are well known static hosting providers
#
V_S_C
If I'd want to receive notification on server of replies, then the first companion to static hosting (that comes to my mind) is qtcloudservices
#
V_S_C
qtcloudservices Managed Application Runtime (MAR), that's in beta, is PaaS as I understand
#
kylewm
V_S_C: I wouldnt consider tumblr or blogger static hosting providers, so much as content silos
#
kylewm
feel free to add qtcloudservices to the PaaS section, especially if you are using it on your own site
#
V_S_C
They certainly are silos undoubtedly, but by supporting custom domain with their restrictions they qualify as "static-only" hosting providers.
#
V_S_C
kylewm: thnx
#
V_S_C
I'm not much of web person
#
V_S_C
So I just joined the room to point how the first appearance was
#
kylewm
V_S_C: how was it? were you able to find what you were looking for?
#
V_S_C
I chose PaaS as I ain't ready for self-hosting
#
V_S_C
If I can't own then working with community like Qt is the next best thing :)
#
V_S_C
The best part is the community folks way ahead to show the way
#
V_S_C
I had webmention working couple of weeks back with wordpress plugin
#
V_S_C
I took step back as using too much variety was keeping me from doing things on my own
#
V_S_C
Unless QtCloudServices will support custom domains, I'll use OpenShift Online.
