#
snarfed
one site hosts the canonical h-event, sets the capacity, and renders "seats remaining" etc based on its current number of yes rsvps
#
snarfed
and serializes accepting rsvps, and rejects them when yes rsvp count == capacity
#
gRegorLove
Woo, successfully sent webmention with vouch to aaronpk. Need to test with a vouch that isn't his own domain, though. http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2014/10/17/1/p3k
#
snarfed
we'd have to define "reject," but 403 + friendly message is probably good enough
#

Loqi
gRegorLove has 43 karma
#
aaronpk
gRegorLove: nice! try with a wiki page like irc-people
#
gRegorLove
Aw man, messed up my perfect karma :)
#
aaronpk
snarfed: interesting question, I don't think that the webmention itself should be rejected when an event is full though
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: My comment's showing up twice there. Don't think I double-sent though.
#
snarfed
aaronpk: i'm not sure. it seems reasonable in this specific case
#
snarfed
open to other ideas though
#
aaronpk
gRegorLove: oops weird, did you send one with https source and one with http?
#
aaronpk
snarfed: it just feels like that's adding too much additional logic to webmention
#
gRegorLove
Doesn't look like it, no.
#
snarfed
aaronpk: i definitely get the concern. it's more like business logic on top of webmention though, right?
#
snarfed
or does it violate the actual protocol
#
aaronpk
snarfed: well for one thing it would require sync processing of the webmention
#
aaronpk
which is not something I particularly want to do on a system I'm building
#
snarfed
aaronpk: true
#
snarfed
eh actually not really, i think they're orthogonal
#
gRegorLove
Oh weird. Probably related to my domain still serving both http and https. Need to work on that.
#
snarfed
202 wm response doesn't mean success, so you'd treat rejects like any other failure
#
aaronpk
well you can't just reject all webmentions once the vent is full
#
aaronpk
cause you might still want to show other mentions of the event that aren't RSVPs
#
KartikPrabhu
reject only RSVP=yes ?
#
snarfed
sure. i think i said reject yes rsvps :P
#
aaronpk
KartikPrabhu: right which is why i'm saying it requires sync processing of the webmention
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm possibly
#
snarfed
aaronpk: i don't believe so, see above
#
aaronpk
you can't know it's rsvp=yes without parsing the page
#
snarfed
for async you'd respond 202 and show the failure on the status page, like with any other failure
#
KartikPrabhu
then how does the person who rsvp-ed know that their rsvp was rejected due to filled event?
#
aaronpk
ah hmm
#
aaronpk
i guess the question is this: is "reject rsvp" the same as "reject webmention"
#
aaronpk
technically the webmention is still valid even if the rsvp will be rejected, since the source does in fact link to target
#
KartikPrabhu
shouldn't sepculate since he has neither events nor async webmention
#
aaronpk
snarfed: but I see your point about not requiring sync processing
#
snarfed
so the wm protocol specifically requires you to "accept" if the target links back? or is there room for biz logic?

snarfed
i guess we could define reject in this case as 203 (Non-Authoritative Information) or 304 (Not Modified) or something similar that we'd abuse
#
snarfed
anything unusual and noticeable, and then include a message
#
aaronpk
right now the webmention spec doesn't even require that you go fetch the source
#
aaronpk
this definitely seems like it's worth considering further
#
snarfed.org
edited /event (+762) "/* How to */ indie ticketing/capacity"
(view diff)
#
bear
you can accept a webmention and then not display it for "business reasons"
#
snarfed
i just re-read the spec, and it's pretty loose. i interpret it as allowing 4xx responses in cases like these
#
bear
the entity sending the webmention would never know (and shouldn't need to know)
#
snarfed
bear: yeah, but in this case you want them to know. this is https://indiewebcamp.com/event#How_to_limit_capacity
#
aaronpk
bear: that makes sense, except in this case you do actually want them to know the event is full
#
bear
you would need a callback url to allow for the "business rules" to respond to the sending entity - "yes"
#
aaronpk
callback url is just a different way of returning the webmention status
#
bear
so I would respond with 202-check-later
#
snarfed
https://github.com/converspace/webmention/blob/master/README.md#verification says you have to fetch target (at some point) and check for a backlink. it doesn't say you can't fail for other reasons though

aaronpk - I do like status polling for these things
#
aaronpk
i'm not usually a fan of polling but in cases like this it ends up being easier for everyone
#
snarfed
maybe yeah
#
snarfed
i think the rsvp/capacity straw man design is still independent of sync/async and status polling/notif, but good to think through
#
aaronpk
yeah it totally is unrelated to those issues

#
bear
I wonder if we can advertise the notification capabilities along with the webmention rel info?
#
bear
so my library would know if I need to poll for status
#
aaronpk
you'll know if you need to poll for status if the webmention endpoint returns a status url
ramsey joined the channel
#
bear
hmm, then I need to setup a webmention endpoint that does that to test my library against
#
aaronpk
speaking of which, I need to add status pages for webmention.io

does bridgy include the canonical URL of a post if that person is a bridgy user?
#
aaronpk
as in, for one of my tweet replies which doesn't link back to my post, would bridgy's permalink for it include my aaronparecki.com URL for the post?
#
aaronpk
the answer is yes
bengo, halorgium, jonnybarnes, wavis and bigbluehat__ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
oh man, I just realized webmention.io isn't storing the multiple URLs that bridgy includes in the pages, only the first one

I must have typod. Sorry
myfreeweb joined the channel
#
bear
no worries :)
#
aaronpk
np. I might as well set up https on it anyway.
#
bear
https all teh nets
#
bengo
Needed to consult the spec, but I just looked at the indiewebcamp wiki page
#
aaronpk
webmention.net is actually the same as the wiki page :)
#
aaronpk
it just slaps the w3c stylesheet on the wiki html
#
bengo
It would appear that webmention requires each page on my domain to have the link header or link element.
benward__ joined the channel
#
bengo
While I plan on improving this soon, I currently don't have a 'base template' that wraps all my pages
#
aaronpk
each page that you want to enable webmentions for yes
Guerillero|BNC joined the channel
#
bengo
it's more or less a static site
#
bengo
Which makes it difficult to comply without copypasta
#
bengo
Now, it doesn't really block me
#
aaronpk
the "currently dont have a base template" case is why the http header is supported too, so that you could return the header at the web server level
#
bengo
but lots of folks jekyll on s3 or github.io
#
bengo
And in that case they'can't link header
bigbluehat__ joined the channel
#
bear
my site is all static and I just run jinja2 across my file structure
#
aaronpk
jekyll supports templates so it's pretty trivial to include the link tag in that
#
bengo
How do you feel about having a last layer of webmention discovery in the well-known URI registry https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5785
#
aaronpk
but yes if your site is literally a pile of html you'd need to update the html for each page
#
aaronpk
what is well-known?
#
Loqi
Well-known refers to designating a common URL on domains for data to be easily located https://indiewebcamp.com/well-known
#
bengo
webfinger and openid connect use it, which is where I've seen it.
#
aaronpk
that's actually the first good reason I've heard for using .well-known
#
bear
i'm curious how you do any header updates then if you have all .html files
ramsey, Leeky and jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
bengo
Though tbh, that may not be necessary. A domain with that constraint could just put a static /.well-known/webfinger document that always responds with { "links": [{ "rel": "webfinger", "href": "webmention.io/whatever" }] }
myfreeweb joined the channel
#
bengo
Webmention clients that want to support the use case could reasonably try to find the webmention link relation via webfinger
#
bengo
"Find links from specific resource on domain" is basically what webfinger is for anyway
ramsey, Leeky, jonnybarnes, tommorris__, zz_tridnguyen, uranther, myfreeweb, bigbluehat__, wavis, halorgium, dhalgren and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
bengo
I did that for illustration, and because now I can say I have a (naive) webfinger endpoint http://bengo.is/.well-known/webfinger
#
bengo
For the case where I'm just going to delegate all webmentions to another service, It's also nice to save the bandwidth of link headers on all requests, and just specify in well-known.
#
bengo
Related question: Is it valid for me to only respond with that header on HEAD requests?
jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
bengo
Ofc also did the header bit

Can't you send them back a webmention saying whether they are in or wait listed?

If you're not processing synchrously that's what you need.

hasn't really resolve targets in his endpoint and might perhaps still not be doing it
#
aaronpk
voxpelli: I think that's reasonable. Trying to think of the cases where I am resolving redirects right now.
#
voxpelli
aaronpk: the webmention client has probably already resolved the redirect when looking up the endpoint :P so shouldn't really ever be necessary
#
aaronpk
well that normally happens transparently by the http client
#
voxpelli
well, never mind, of course it's necessary because one still needs to know what url to check for in the source
#
voxpelli
one could wish for indieweb sites to never actually link to shortlinks in actual code but just accept shortlinks in the UI:s :P
#
aaronpk
even if you don't have shortlinks for your own posts, you might change your URL structure at some point and have a bunch of URLs change
#
aaronpk
and you'd still want to be able to accept webmentions for the old URLs
#
aaronpk
assuming you're sending redirects for those, following your own redirects is a perfectly sane way of doing that
#
voxpelli
I think the matching between a target URL and an actual entity within ones system should be entirely up to the implementation then, one probably wouldn't follow HTTP redirects to solve that case
#
aaronpk
(I certainly do, because it's easier than any other way)
#
aaronpk
but yes it is implementation specific
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed
voxpelli aaronpk: agreed, whether/how to resolve wm target URLs is implementation specific, optional, and probably outside the spec...but there are definitely use cases for fetching and following HTTP redirects
#
Loqi
snarfed: tantek left you a message 11 hours, 59 minutes ago: great post re: keep Bridgy Publish simple. Makes a lot of sense and thanks for putting up with all the feature requests in github issues! http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-11-30/line/1448871833483
#
snarfed
the obvious one is shortlinks you didn't create yourself - t.co, dlvr.it, etc
#
aaronpk
i guess the question is if resolving your own URLs is implementation specific, is there actually any reason to require a WM receiver to follow redirects of a target?
#
aaronpk
also note that it's only in the "protocol summary" where it mentions following redirects, the actual spec content doesn't mention that at all
#
voxpelli
it adds unneeded complexity and is not something to be encouraged
#
bear
most http get libraries won't even give you the redirect tree unless you ask for it - so doing a GET will just resolve any redirects
#
aaronpk
this is for target, which the receiver isn't actually fetching

(redirects are kind of a rabbit hole as well, if one wants to support redirects on eg. GitHub Pages one has to support meta-refresh – eg. Google does, but then you need to parse HTML as well :P )
#
aaronpk
I don't think people should be required/expected to accept t.co mentions. If someone is sending a webmention to a link they found via t.co, they can resolve the redirect themselves and send you the real target.
#
voxpelli
aaronpk: Twitter ToS might stop them :P
#
voxpelli
but it should anyhow be up to receiver to decide if they want to accept a certain kind of mentions or not

Loqi
ben_thatmustbeme meant to say: t.co mentions make a lot of sense to follow, if twitter ever starts to federate
#
aaronpk
okay let's start with this: who here follows redirects of a target before deciding whether to consider accepting the mention?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
same issue for any service really. they may want to wrap outgoing URls for some reason or another
#
ben_thatmustbeme
raises his hand
#
aaronpk
does too
#
ben_thatmustbeme
isn't that in one of the php libraries?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
can't remember
#
aaronpk
not sure, it's in my source code directly tho
#
ben_thatmustbeme
indieweb php libs i mean
#
voxpelli
such URL:s are very much a silo thing though, how many people actually wrap their URL:s?
#
bear
huh, in my webmention code I don't follow target redirects and will reject it if the domain doesn't match
#
kylewm
follows 1 redirect
#
Loqi
kylewm: tantek left you a message 2 hours, 42 minutes ago: can you check the IWC SF Eventbrite admin and add attendees from there to https://indiewebcamp.com/2015/SF/Guest_List#RSVPs_from_Other_Sites perhaps in a block *before* the Facebook RSVPs?

#
voxpelli
+1 on bear, I will also reject of domain doesn't match a registered domain in my endpoint and I don't think I follow redirects (might have changed as part of my Salmention implementation as I then need to look up the target anyhow though)
bengo joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i have shortlinks they could be mentioning, plus my internal redirects are messy, easier to follow exactly where something pionts than try to deal with recalculating exactly what it point to
#
kylewm
^ that's why for me too
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: your shortlinks are on your own domain right? not eg. bitly?
#
bear
yea, my story may change if I ever implement short links, but then that would require me to put the short link domain in the whitelist
#
aaronpk
same for me, a side effect is that it means I also follow t.co and bit.ly etc
#
ben_thatmustbeme
voxpelli: true
#
aaronpk
I'm now considering whitelisting my domain and my short domain
#
aaronpk
webmention.io also follows redirects, and it leads to a lot of noise in the database. Now that you can register domains with it (to set up callback URLs and such), I'm going to consider only accepting webmentions for registered targets
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think the idea is to look at what is actually done in social web right now, not just IWC, if you are drafting a spec, you have to consider that one of the largest silos does this, so its important to consider others might want to as well
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: not just if they're doing it but also why they're doing it and how that may change etc
#
kylewm
I feel like KartikPrabhu added t.co following because someone (Doug Schepers?) wanted to webmention him from twitter
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: one possibility for Twitter would be to onclude the webmentioned links as link-tags or link-headers also btw
#
ben_thatmustbeme
WHY they do it, is most interesting to me voxpelli, does anyone know the exact reason?
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: or some other mechanism to show actual URL to servers but a warning to users
#
ben_thatmustbeme
is it JUST to shorten?
#
aaronpk
pretty sure it's so they can stop twitter worms from spreading
#
voxpelli
ben_thatmustbeme: to be able to stop phishing sites
#
voxpelli
and similar
#
aaronpk
they can kill a t.co link if they detect it's redirecting to a malicious site
#
voxpelli
so they can stopped a linked to URL after the tweet has already been pushed to clients
#
voxpelli
has to run
#
bear
i'll have to adjust my webmention library then to follow target URL redirects
#
ben_thatmustbeme
than yeah, i will always follow all redirects
#
ben_thatmustbeme
that seems like a valid use case to me
#
bear
goes to file an issue against Ronkyuu lib
#
aaronpk
interesting outcome
#
aaronpk
follow-up question then, for everyone who is following target redirects, do you have a limit on the number of redirects you follow before giving up? (kylewm already said his limit is 1)
#
kylewm
i don't have any reason for it to be 1, probably just laziness
#
bear
I feel once you start following you should follow them all to be a good HTTP citizen
#
aaronpk
there is no "all" since it may be an infinite redirect loop
#
kylewm
snarfed++ bridgy pulling in mentions from twitter is so freaking cool
#
Loqi
snarfed has 175 karma
#
ben_thatmustbeme

#
ben_thatmustbeme
thats my limit
#
bengo
Did indieauth.io twitter break because they started wrapping your profile website link in t.co?
#
snarfed
thanks snarfed!
#
bengo
I just re-added to my twitter bio the other day, donno if mine just doesn't work because it's caching my old twitter info
#
bear
I use the python requests library and it has a max redirect limit - not sure what it is, but that's why it's in place
#
snarfed
re wm target redirects, i use the wordpress plugins blindly; i'm not sure what they do, but i expect they don't follow them...which is fine with me in practice.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
huh, php curl has no limit set on max redirects
#
ben_thatmustbeme
it does detect loops
#
snarfed
(i just mentioned t.co etc links as an example of why you *might* want to follow them, not that everyone should or that it shoudl go in the spec)
#
bengo
aaronpk: that sounds like it happens iff my site is www.bengo.is? which doesn't respond
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i feel like if someone take the time to send you a webmention for a URL that is not on your domain its probably something that will redirect to you
#
bengo
I guess one way of resolving my question is: Anyone indieauth with twitter recently?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
or its just total spam
#
aaronpk
bengo: ah huh, different issue then. and yes I just used twitter this morning.
#
bengo
aaronpk: ok then I'll wait it out. Probably has my old lack of link cached
#
aaronpk
you can click "re-scan"
#
aaronpk
if that doesn't work, let me know the specific error
#
bengo
oh... works now. Was remembering from last night. Basically it just said it couldn't find the link on my twitter page. But it works now
#
ben_thatmustbeme
wonders if he should put a limit to number of redirects he will follow or not
#
bengo
didn't know about re-scan last night but glad it exists
#
bengo
ben_thatmustbeme you at least want to have a high number like 20
#
aaronpk
I was going to recommend whatever the browser default is
#
bengo
and catch the error. Otherwise users will just wait for longtime and probably just get a blank page and 504 response from an intermediate proxy

Had this queued up from when I was hacking last night but no one was on: I'm pretty curious to hear a little bit more about how indiewebers are storing their data. e.g. do you have all your tweets in a SQL database? Do you go fetch some external API (or several) every time someone requests a page on your site? Do you memcache? Are your posts stored in a database server or on the filesystem? Folks can post here about
#
bengo
that, or maybe would make a good 15m open forum at iwcSF

bengo: as you might imagine, there's a pretty wide range of methods people use

bengo
aaronpk ofc but I think case studies would be super valuable to have published
#
bengo
lessons learned, etc.
#
aaronpk
well there's always this:
#
aaronpk
what is database antipattern?
#
Loqi
The database antipattern is the use of a database for primary long-term storage of posts and other personal content (like on an indieweb site), and is an anti-pattern due to the additional maintenance costs, uninspectability, platform-dependence, and long-term fragility of databases and their storage files, as documented with specific examples below https://indiewebcamp.com/database-antipattern
#
aaronpk
plenty of implementation experience there :)
#
bengo
ah cool will read thanks
shiflett joined the channel
#
bengo
Makes sense. I am essentiall static. i.e. content is in repo with server code. But online publishing (e.g. micropub) will require deviation from that
#
bengo
So I'm particularly curious if there are micropubbers using filesystem only in a way that will scale to n+1 hosts, and how they've done it
#
aaronpk
not exactly, there are some examples of people writing a micropub endpoint that commits to the git repo and then publishes the static site
#
bengo
If I'm going to use a database, I don't want to pick github.com, which I don't own.
#
bengo
But that's good to know.
#
bengo
Perhaps I will make a wiki page to collect case studies and just mention it in lightning talk time at IWC
#
bengo
and encourage folks to fill
#
bengo
Is using a corporate web service as a database really less of an anti-pattern then running a database server? I'd vote no.
#
aaronpk
using github as a host isn't really any worse than using heroku or any other FTP service
#
snarfed
right. db vs filesystem (vs git, etc) is pretty orthogonal to which hosting provider you use, and at what level in the stack
mlncn joined the channel
#
bengo
True. If github.com just happens to be the currently configured GIT_URL you've configured and it's nothing github specific, then awesome.
#
snarfed
for indieweb specifically, the consensus has generally been that you definitely need to own and control your domain. below that, though, it's totally up to you how and where you host and serve your site
#
snarfed
e.g. there are people on blogger and even tumblr who are fully indieweb and participate, even including indieauth and sending/receiving webmentions
#
snarfed
feels kinda strongly about this :P
#
bengo
Yeah I definitely wouldn't want to say anything normative that those aren't indiewebers. They best part is everyone gets to decide. Moreso curious about how others have chosen to do it

i think we often miscommunicate it as "using a db for any webapp is bad," when we really just mean "using a db for your own personal site may be bad." very different things.
#
bengo
If someone is currently supporting micropub publishing without using a networked database and can also scale past one rw filesystem, that's kinda what I'm curious about
#
bengo
(and doesn't outsource that user story to some other free service that is unlikely to be around in 5yrs)
#
snarfed
eh. honestly scaling isn't really a problem for any of our personal sites, db or fs or whatever they're backed with
johnstorey joined the channel
#
snarfed
aaronpk may be the one exception, and even then only because he includes location, etc
#
snarfed
sensors generate enough data that scaling actually matters. people, less so.
#
aaronpk
i actually have a totally separate thing that stores all my location data. turns out a mysql/postgres database for that gets awkward fast, so now it's all in the filesystem
#
snarfed
touche
#
aaronpk
but we're talking about adding around 50,000-80,000 records per day in that
#
snarfed
and "outsourcing" and "unlikely to be around" aren't necessarily problems. if you own your domain, you can migrate elsewhere
#
snarfed
i'm resigned to/expect to switch host and/or CMS every ~5 years or so at this point
#
aaronpk
the "database antipattern" page is essentially a list of issues people have had with using a database as the primary store of their website and trying to keep it around more than a few years
#
aaronpk
i agree it's not the best name for the page :)

the name is also an IWC scaling issue

Catching up on the webmention target conversation, I follow redirects when processing async, but on initial receiving I am checking the target is a URL on my domain, so it wouldn't accept t.co links. I hadn't thought about that before today.

would a hoodie be a clothing symbol of independence? should we make indieweb hoodies?

isn't a hoodie the clothing symbol of zuckerberg?

last I checked hoodie.io it was a js;dr framework - anyone have any recent experience to the contrary?
#
snarfed
on an unrelated note...does anyone using the facebook API have experience with how it consolidates photo posts? e.g. into "X added 2 new photos." post objects
#
aaronpk
js frameworks are fine for apps if they're not storing or serving content that way
#
tantek
snarfed: good question!
#
snarfed
it breaks bridgy, details in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/562#issuecomment-160217774 , and i haven't managed to find developer-facing/API docs on how to handle it
#
snarfed
official or otherwise
#
tantek
my limited anecdotal experience is it happens automatically (perhaps on the presentation side?) when sequential photo posts are published, less than 24 hours apart from each other
#
aaronpk
the last couple weeks i've been using a JS IRC client! it stores its logs in plaintext files on my server though so that's nice!
#
tantek
as in I've seen it cluster photos like that, except when I post a photo sequentially *the next day*, it gets its own stream "item" in my "timeline"
#
tantek
instead of being part of the previous "cluster" of "added to an album"
#
tantek
not sure if that helps
#
tantek
also if I post a photo, then a note, then a photo, they are all distinct items
#
tantek
not sure what happens if I do that, then delete the note, whether a subsequent reclustering occurs
#
snarfed
yeah, the user-facing behavior is somewhat understood, but only somewhat. how it's reflected in API objects and ids - the part i need - is even less understood. :/
#
tantek
you may not need full understanding in order to solve the problem
#
kylewm
also good read re: hacker photo http://matt.lee.name/super-hacker/
#
tantek
that is, if you can do some sequence of API calls to cause unique posts rather than "album" clustering, that would be sufficient right?
#
snarfed
tantek: sure! that's totally speculative though
#
snarfed
well, actually no. this is for backfeed, so i can't assume any posting behavior
#
tantek
snarfed, hey in the world of quarterly API changes, speculative seems like a reasonable path forward
#
tantek
oh right
#
tantek
sorry I was jumping to imagining BP behaving in a way that made BB better
#
tantek
as a "naive" user, I would expect a single BP "call" to make a single post, not to auto-cluster anything
#
tantek
I'm "ok" with current behavior, yet it's a bit of a surprise

responding to the earlier question, my webmention implementation doesn't follow target links initially to verify, but does to look for webmention endpoints to ping. I could change that though

what is dopa
#
Loqi
DoPA is an abbreviation for Denial of Productivity Attack, a method often used by trolls and non-implementers (perhaps without explicit maliciousness but rather misfocus) to slow down or prevent progress by misdirecting creator selfdogfooders into responding to hypothetical problems, instead of their own real world itches https://indiewebcamp.com/DoPA

re: webmention from twitter links. I never managed to figure out how to do it
#
kevinmarks
apart from brid.gy
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah. but marginalia with twitter is hard
#
KartikPrabhu
because I only use replies as marginalia
#
tantek
Twitter @-replies can be replies
#
tantek
via Bridgy
hober joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
but you can't reply to a fragmention via twitter so no marginalia
#
tantek
thus the question is, how could one indicate, in plain text in a tweet, that an @-reply is in reply to a particular fragment on a page?
#
tantek
solve that question, with a reasonable proposal, and see if anyone publishes it
#
tantek
then if you get real world examples, you can try processing it
#
tantek
never say "you can't" when you can ask "how can you"
#
@shepazu
@kartik_prabhu very cool, but the side-panel needs its own “close” button, in addition to the annotation icon https://kartikprabhu.com/articles/marginalia
