aaronpk
here it goes
#
aaronpk
if this ends up working well I am tempted to run more of my projects on app engine
#
aaronpk
alright, DNS is updated! app engine is serving indiewebify.me now!
#
aaronpk
with SSL!
#
kevinmarks
ooh and bare domain too
#
kylewm
the icons on http://indiewebcamp.com/FreeMyOAuth have a very short shelf life
#
kylewm
although maybe with the new image proxy, they will stick around longer? aaronpk?
#
aaronpk
i haven't hooked up the archiving one yet but i will soon
#
aaronpk
hm let me see if i can do that right now...
#
tantek
aaronpk++ that is awesome!!!

#
aaronpk
yeah that is tempting to move some of my other stuff there

yay, glad dns is switched now!

[snarfed]: GWG left you a message 1 hour, 52 minutes ago: I'm not sure if you are going to love this idea or hate it. http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-10-24/line/1445726350448
#
[snarfed]
btw, low priority, but the webmention sender part still isn't working :P
#
[snarfed]
push to deploy is definitely a bigger deal though. congrats again!
#
aaronpk
push to deploy was a prereq for making any functional changes IMO
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk: I'll take a look at that code. Maybe I'll have some contributions

woohoo
#
aaronpk
now the wiki archives images
#
aaronpk
it makes saving the page take a little longer while it goes and archives it
#
aaronparecki.com

(view diff)
#
aaronpk
check out the image URLs on that page
#

edited /FreeMyOAuth (+143) "update image URLs"
(view diff)
#
aaronpk
there now those won't break
#
tantek
are we clear on the wiki caching of images not implying they are in public domain?
#
aaronpk
i'm not really sure how to make that clear. as far as anyone is concerned it's still hotlinked, like if you go edit the page it still shows the original URL
#
aaronpk
i could serve the images from the amazon CDN URL so that it doesn't even look like it's on indiewebcamp.com at all
#
tantek
I think as long as it doesn't look like it's coming from an indiewebcamp.com URL we should be fine

oh hey brid.gy is not www.brid.gy anymore

oh ok. I was worried that the domain changed! :P
#
GWG
aaronpk: Does anyone use an arbitrary file name in micropub? Other than the audio, video, photo ones noted?
#
GWG
I'm playing around with micropub, trying to give snarfed his unit tests, but part of that is recognizing the standard is evolving, and I was trying to build making it easier to adjust with the standard into the code.
cmhobbs, shiflett and scoates joined the channel
#
GWG
Which brings me back to the question of how you keep a code supporting a changing standard current. When do you deprecate or not deprecate
#
aaronpk
GWG: i actually just added support for posting .geojson files to my new site, which is how i'm getting bike rides there
#
GWG
aaronpk: Figured you would have tried something other than strict media.
#
GWG
The nice thing about the micropub design is you could make it do anything, it seems.

kylewm
general http question -- is it desireable to set the Content-Length header manually, or should we rely on the server to set it or not at its discretion?
tantek joined the channel
#
kylewm
apparently Apache sets it for smallish requests, but larger requests get chunked
#
kylewm
and chunked encoding does not know the Content-Length when it starts sending
#
aaronpk
i always let the web server do its thing with that header
#
tantek
hey kylewm - I've reserved Mozilla SF space for all the rest of the HWC SF dates for 2015!
#
tantek
and the wiki pages are live too 2015-12-02 -16 -30
#
tantek
now we just need indie events and POSSE copies :)
#
kylewm
tantek++ great! i will put up indie urls soon

but I'm pretty wiped from somehow doing a bunch of indieweb wiki edits and stuff and all the Science Hack Day hacking today (built a portable planetarium and just demo'd it)
#
tantek
so I'll see you in the morning!
#
tantek
what is Apache Shindig?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Apache Shindig" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/105j
#
kevinmarks
Apache Shindig is an open source implementation of OpenSocial specifications, including Activity Streams. It is at http://shindig.apache.org/
#
loqi.me
created /Apache_Shindig (+168) "prompted by tantek https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-10-24/line/1445752160480 and dfn added by kevinmarks"

hehe, I wrote a micropub script to create indie events for the rest of the year :p
#

if only i could do the same for facebook
#
kylewm
huh, making me realize that i need to be more thoughtful about how i sort things on https://kylewm.com/events

hey GWG does your syndication links wordpress plugin only work with specific silos?
#
snarfed
e.g. i gave it the indienews syndication link for that post, and it renders the link, but there's no link text, i guess since it doesn't have an icon hard-coded in for indienews, so the syndication link is invisible
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
GWG
snarfed: It is supposed to default to a generic globe icon for anything it doesn't recognize.
#
snarfed
huh ok
#
GWG
Can you file an issue?
#
GWG
I'll have a look.
#
snarfed
probably my fault since i override the css
#
snarfed
i'll look
#
GWG
snarfed: Even after I set up the no font CSS alternate files for you in the package?
#
GWG
I offer black and white with and without font.
#
snarfed
i don't remember what i currently have running, sorry
#
snarfed
i'll look
#
GWG
They are all grunt generated, so no extra work.
eschnou joined the channel
#
GWG
snarfed: By the way, updated some of the Micropub issues on the github page.
#
snarfed
i saw!
Garbee joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
done, all my pages now publish a rel alternate for json format. though the format isn't really done yet
Tino and gRegorLove joined the channel
#
Zegnat
Interesting, ben_thatmustbeme. Is that just the post ran through an mf2 parser? Ie. could anyone use stream.thatmustbe.us to offer the same?
eschnou joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Zagnet yes with other tweaks I'm experimenting with.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
And yes anyone can use it
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Yeah. There are a number of others that offer the same ability
#
[snarfed]
it'd be fun to compare them
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Indeed. I am intentionally sisters
#
GWG
pfefferle was working on a similar json microformats2 feed for WordPress also, I think.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I am intentionally not just publishing the mf2 json format to experiment with simpler representations
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk is as well
#
ben_thatmustbeme
It would be great to see it used for federation with non indieweb sites
#
[snarfed]
I'd also love to see more implementations of other conversations
#
[snarfed]
especially json to html
#
[snarfed]
(also mf2 to atom, etc)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Json back to mf2 is difficult unless you have some specific format of json i'd imagine
#
[snarfed]
ben_thatmustbeme: right. i meant mf2 json to html
#
GWG
MF2 JSON to HTML would be an interesting library
#
aaronpk
it would need some knowledge of vocabulary to do a good job
#
aaronpk
but basically /comments-presentation is that
#
GWG
aaronpk: Yes
mlncn and tantek joined the channel
#
GWG
aaronpk: Isn't that part of how you are redesigning your website. Microformats in, HTML out?
#
aaronpk
i suppose so yeah
#
[snarfed]
granary does mf2 json to html, hence my comment about more implementations
#
[snarfed]
feedback is welcome!
#
aaronpk
oh darn i was hoping for a textarea input :)
#
[snarfed]
ah sorry
#
aaronpk
ahhh darnit i messed up my permalink on my last post and bridgy sent me webmentions to a URL that is broken (my fault)
#
aaronpk
is there any way to fix that?
sammachin joined the channel
#
[snarfed]
ie retry them
#
[snarfed]
not now but soon
#
aaronpk
they didn't fail though
#
aaronpk
i mean, they were reported to bridgy as successful
#
aaronpk
but failed invisibly on my side
#
aaronpk
ah neat
#
[snarfed]
until then you can send the webmentions yourself manually :/
tantek joined the channel
#
aaronpk
heh bridgy has the wrong URL cached so now it's failing with "no link found"
#
[snarfed]
oh your webmention endpoint was bad! ugh ok
#
[snarfed]
or is this a redirect
#
aaronpk
the wrong URL does redirect
#
aaronpk
which begs the question why my webmention endpoint didn't notice that
#
aaronpk
this may not be worth the trouble right now :)
#
[snarfed]
feel free to file a bridgy feature request for a per user button that clears cached redirects (and webmention endpoint)

Gwg: you could use the google favicon service

kevinmarks: For what?

aaronpk
oh boy i can't wait until i change all my URLs on my site *rolls eyes*
#
[kevinmarks]
For the 'I don't know what icon to show by this site link' case
#
GWG
When did I say that?
#
GWG
Oh, the thing with snarfed
#
GWG
That might work, but I was using a font icon

i have decided to embrace the "cover photo" trend in my new design

[kevinmarks]
You mean u-featured?
#
[kevinmarks]
Bonus points for u-featured SVG
#
aaronpk
not sure? i mean specifically for people and events
#
[kevinmarks]
The point of it is that it makes a more enticing preview elsewhere, mostly. That's what the /storycards thing was about

@kylewmahan
value of short a URL: I frequently use http://pin13.net instead of MY OWN https://kylewm.com/services/mf2 bc it's easier to type #indieweb

also Red Wind's micropub "location" field can now take a venue url like "https://kylewm.com/venues/mozilla-sf-san-francisco-california"
#
GWG
kylewm: That's a good idea.
#
GWG
I'm filing an issue against myself.
