GWG
That to auto-approve likes and favorites, the first like from the person should be approved. To avoid bad actors.

petermolnar
good morning, indieweb
#
petermolnar
had anyone played with a raspberry pi 2 + wifi here? Turns out my pi2 is stable, unlike the wifi dongle, which is probably one of the flakiest devices I've ever had
#
petermolnar
and I wonder if there's a type of usb wifi connector that actually works stable on the pi2 without a powered hub
mapkyca and lewisnyman joined the channel
#
Jeena
petermolnar, I was using this one https://jeena.net/images/2014/usb-wifi.jpg but you need to install special drivers for that
#
Jeena
and I have used it on ArchLinuxArm not on Raspbrian.
#
petermolnar
the one I use looks similar, however, the chipset is RTL 8192CU which sucks on all possible levels
#
petermolnar
do you know what the chipset was in yours?
#
Jeena
no idea, sorry
#
Jeena
btw. for non-indieweb diescussions like this we should move to #indiechat instead

#
Jeena
voxpelli, no sorry I'm not ready at all, I haven't had a evening for myself last week so I wasn't able to work on it at all. The next two weeks look better for that matter, I don't have them as planned at the last two so I will perhaps be able to do it then.
#
voxpelli
Jeena: lets sync up when we both feel ready then :) You were going to target actor A, right?
#
Jeena
A or/and B could be my goal
#
tantek
sounds fun!
#
Jeena
tantek, we're trying to do a Swedish or at least Scandinavian SWAT0
#
tantek
awesome!
#
Jeena
but it's not as easy as it would sound ^^
#
voxpelli
I'm almost ready for both A and B – just needs some small extra finishing touches like explicitly parsing person-tags and making real push notifications
#
Jeena
My biggest concern are the salmentions, sending is easy and I got that working, but receiving and correctly showing them everywhere is more complicated
#
Jeena
is a email also a push notification?
j12t joined the channel
#
voxpelli
Yeah, I think that's why we probably said I could do that part first
adactio joined the channel
#
Jeena
or does one need like a real push service to some mobile phone or something?
#
voxpelli
Jeena: I don't think so :P I'm not even sure RSS + Pubsubhubbub linked to IFTTT truly qualifies – that's what I'm aiming for
#
voxpelli
if one has an Android one could always do the Chrome push notifications
#
voxpelli
should work on desktop as well
#
tantek
I think ben_thatmustbeme has Chrome push notifications working on Android
#
Jeena
I mean aaronpk only used this prowl thingy
#
tantek
you can also now get Firefox push notifications on Android too!
#
voxpelli
tantek: using the new same standard as Chrome?
#
tantek
(same Web Notifications standard)
#
Jeena
oh that sounds awesome, do you have a link?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I did, but it seems like it quickly forgets you on mobile
#
ben_thatmustbeme
still works on chrome for desktop though
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and there have been updates since then
#
tantek
Jeean - yes - get the Firefox for Android alpha/aurora download

#
ben_thatmustbeme
my next hope it to write my own notification service, so I don't need to use Google Cloud Messaging servers
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: I thought all browsers for now would require that one uses their notification services? to keep battery consumption down on mobile
#
tantek
what is Google Cloud Messaging?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Google Cloud Messaging" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/s/1032
#
tantek
what are push notifications?
#
Loqi
A push notification (AKA client notification) is a notification that shows up on one or more of your client devices without you having to explicitly request it — it's "pushed" to you, instead of you having to poll for it https://indiewebcamp.com/push_notifications
#
tantek
voxpelli, ben_thatmustbeme could you add those links to ^^^
snarfed joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
voxpelli: I don't know, haven't had time to really dig in to it too much, I know the Push API is really new and still missing a lot of things
#
voxpelli
it's apparently the same link – Google just decided to not redirect the one I mentioned to the one ben_thatmustbeme mentioned
shiflett joined the channel
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: think Google have mentioned that they at least not initially supported other services
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: will you add?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
voxpelli: i'll ad it

#
voxpelli

#

#
voxpelli
Yeah, not sure about that either – may be that we move to Thursday's like Edinburgh
#
tantek
just got MozSF for this week
#
tantek
voxpelli: that's fine - just set an expectation either way
#
aaronpk
ben_thatmustbeme: IIRC it's technically possible to run a separate push notification service on android, but afaik nobody actually does that because GCM is optimized so well and provides a decent API

#

aaronpk - yea, writing your own push notification service is a road of pain because you won't get cycles from the android core networking stack if your app goes idle or is forced into low power state

kylewm: we're still stuck on https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/274 right?
#
tantek
should we try Eventbrite instead?

tantek
(since lots of people seem to use Eventbrite - and it seems to be good at getting people to show up to events - e.g. with reminders etc.)

#
voxpelli
anyone heard anything about the new Upcoming.org and it's possibility for indiewebiness?
#
tantek
voxpelli: nothing new - I think there are issues on their github?
#
tantek
what is upcoming.org?
#
Loqi
Upcoming, also known as Upcoming.org was (perhaps) the first social event sharing silo, then acquired and shutdown by Yahoo, and is now in the process of being recreated, currently open source on github at https://github.com/upcoming/upcoming-www https://indiewebcamp.com/Upcoming.org

#
tantek
voxpelli: might be good to brainstorm what's the best approach to take with Upcoming.org beyond just asking them to be indieweb /friendly
#
tantek
because it is so new / in development - there is still a chance of making it more "natively" indieweb rather than just "compatible"
#
voxpelli
being able to import external events and keeping up to date with them – kind of like an IndieNews for events – would be interesting

and a way to allow people who don't have their own websites to still RSVP to indie events

I for one really dislike manual processes like that
#
aaronpk
now that xoxo is over Andy is gonna get back to work on upcoming.org :)
#
tantek
but these are very good starting points

#
voxpelli
tantek: don't remember – do we typically sign brainstorms with our username?
#
tantek
not usually no - unless you feel the usage is only personally-applicable
#
voxpelli
in this case: very non personally-applicable – events are still on my todo :P
#
tantek
like, "I would do this, but I wouldn't expect many if any others to do so"
#
tantek
same same
#
voxpelli
really like the idea of an RSVP Webactions fallback though :)
#
tantek
kylewm: since you're feeling the manual pain of POSSE to FB - maybe you have some ideas for how it would "ideally" work with an event aggregator that you could add to? https://indiewebcamp.com/Upcoming.org#Brainstorming
#
tantek
ooh yeah - RSVP webaction fallbacks would be great
#
adactio
tantek: not sure if there'll be a Homebrew Website Club meetup this week: I'll be away, and Charlotte isn't feeling well, so it depends how she's feeling by Wednesday.

so far this week's HWC cities spell GPS (Göteborg, Portland, San Francisco)

#
KevinMarks
that reminds me, I had a good caht there to jamie from medium, so working through what changes we coudl amke to medium to be more indieweb friendsly would eb helpful too
#
tantek
KevinMarks: could you tell if he's trying to make a service/tool for himself & friends (like he originally did with Upcoming) or is he trying to make it mass-market right out of the box?
#
aaronpk
my understanding is he's trying to make a full replacement for the previous upcoming.org, including restoring all the events that used to be there
#
tantek
if that was all - a read-only replacement would do
#
aaronpk
no, full functional replacement
#
tantek
but given the handwringing over identity (as he's published in the kickstarter update posts), there's obviously more to it
#
tantek
the previous upcoming just became a place fo spamming events by self-promoters of snakeoil pay-for seminars and webinars
#
tantek
all of which made it to the home page of Upcoming because the actual user community had long since bailed
#
tantek
it was Scott Beale that first pointed out to me that people had shifted to using FB for events instead of Upcoming (and this was before I logged back into FB and started using it )

tantek: lanyrd has become similarly filled with snakeoil pushers. such is the fate of unmaintained silos, alas.
#
tommorris
and there's no meaningful crap reporting tool.
#
tantek
acquired silos at that
#
tantek
really? Lanyrd has been filled with snakeoil? dang
#
tommorris
if you go to the "every event in [city X]" view - e.g. http://lanyrd.com/places/new-york/
#
tommorris
every single one is "Online conference" which kind of makes the geographical tagging rather pointless
#
tommorris
I did find out that this is a thing - http://lanyrd.com/2015/nciaorg/
#
tommorris
"Fall Regional Cannabis Business Summit"
#
tantek
tommorris: wow
#
tantek
ok I'm sending that to simon and nat (lanyrd cofounders now at eventbrite)
#
tantek
and yes, that's exactly the kind of spamming that upcoming got
#
tantek
which means it's only a matter of time before the parent company declares it dead to spam and kills it
#
tommorris
eventbrite will be crying all the way to the bank about killing it.
#
tommorris
simple solution number 1: deputize a bunch of trusted community members to despam the shit out of the platform. would cost nothing. there's a whole lot of love for Lanyrd, just as there was for Upcoming, and I'd happily delete spam on sight if there were a super simple way of doing it.

huh, somehow we have 10 principles - never counted them before, we just kept adding / capturing what seemed to be emergently core to the community
#
tantek
I'm thinking Plurality should just be another in the list of principles (that would make them go to 11 heh)
#
tantek
any thoughts?
#
aaronpk
oh yeah guess so
#
tantek
adding an 11th principle is a good example of #10
#
tantek
though I kind of feel like listing "Have **fun**" as the last in the list has a certain positive outlook impact that we should keep
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
tommorris
have fun was one of my contributions. I added it to the page because IWC often felt like fun while Wikipedia often felt like stress and drama and bickering.
#
tantek
I remember when you added that tommorris - that was a genius way of capturing what a lot of us were taking for granted
