so the one main casualty of migrating bridgy to FB API v2.6 is that FB's /me/events endpoint consistently returns 500 "unknown error" for a handful of people. haven't figured out why yet. :/ https://brid.gy/admin/sources
#
snarfed
on the plus side, we're a big step closer to sending reactions!

How crazy would it be to use WordPress as a micropub client for a Jekyll site?
#
GWG
How would that work?
#
miklb
syncs posts from a WP install to a GitHub repo.

miklb
so I could set that up and use the micropub plugin on a subdomain that pushes to my repo that then builds the site with Travis and pushes back to my VPS.

#
aaronpk
GWG: info feel like it's useful to return a different error than 400 to indicate that the request might succeed if the sender tries again later, vs 400 which means that the same request should not be sent again
#
GWG
aaronpk: Thus, I pointed it out.
#
GWG
If it isn't documented...
#
[emmak]
would 503 "service unavailable" make more sense?
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk
[emmak] no, because that implies the server did something wrong (5xx)
#
aaronpk
It looks like most APIs are using 429 to indicate the client has been rate limited which is why I went with that
#
[emmak]
but the client may not have done anything wrong either, if its a 3rd party flooding the endpoint
#
GWG
Yes, but it is telling the client it can try again later
#
aaronpk
technically it's possible that a bunch of other HTTP codes might be returned since a lot of them are about the HTTP transport protocol itself rather than application logic
#
GWG
A 429 should be an indication to a sender to try again later.
#
sknebel
503's can also be retried (RFC even mentions Retry-After header, same as for 429)
#
sknebel
right now the webmention spec doesn't say anything what to do with errors
#
sknebel
(HTTP 429 is odd in a way, because it is a client-side error where the client actually should send the exact same request again)

snarfed: new mentions, haven't seen them before
#
GWG
There is a feature implemented in 4.5 that really helps with Webmentions. Prior to that, you had to construct a complex database query to accomplish same. Which meant not taking advantage of caching. So, it basically means more database calls.

this is existing code, right? not new code that doesn't exist yet?
#
bear
I would suggest using a status code of 429 because while it's technically a client side error, it is used in the wild to represent a request that has been limited - twitter, github and others

I added the newer code with a version conditional. But I want to use it again elsewhere in the process. This isn't bad if it is cached by WordPress, but it is bad if it isn't.

actually bad? how many db queries are we talking here?

i'm going to stick them into tags with verb 'react' and the emoji in content

so like you hvae a top level post, and then reactions to it are stored in its tags?

and i guess you could also represent a react activity on its own, that woudlnt involve tags right?

which is kinda funny since I"m not exactly sure how any of this really works anyway :-)

yes, Token "me" didn't match any of: "https://miklb.com/", Got: "http://miklb.com/"

miklb
method=POST path="/micropub/miklb.com" host=miklb-micropub.herokuapp.com

are you using your own token endpoint?

if not, you are likely using tokens.indieauth.com

miklb
oh, correct

is that error message something you wrote?
#
miklb
no, this is voxpelli's code
#
aaronpk
I don't see it in Quill or tokens.indieauth.com

aaronpk
well it looks like the token was issued for "http://miklb.com/" but Quill thinks you're signed in as "https://miklb.com/"

try entering the other one when you sign in to quill

#
miklb
ok, at least i got a different error this time :_
#
voxpelli
miklb: anything I can help with? Have a few minutes right now
#
miklb
voxpelli my initial question was about your second endpoint in server.js, the subdomain.
#
miklb
I managed to figure out how to get heroku up and running with the "glue" bit you shared with me. Now just trying to get the last mile
friedcell joined the channel
#
miklb
so now the error is with connecting to GitHub
#
voxpelli
miklb: I think it would be enough to generate a token here: https://github.com/settings/tokens And then do: heroku config:set MICROPUB_GITHUB_TOKEN="abc123"
#
miklb
yes, I did that
#
miklb
hmm. maybe I didn't authorize the token properly
#
voxpelli
miklb: I have "repo" rights on mine
#
miklb
yes, updating that now
#
miklb
hmm. Still getting a "Not found" error for GitHub in the logs
#
miklb
maybe because I'm trying to push to a branch? repo: 'miklb.github.com.jekyll'
#
voxpelli
miklb: branch isn't currently supported, give me a second
#
miklb
aaronpk btw that was the issue. I didn't explicitly specify https when I logged into Quill
#
aaronpk
I think we solved that at the same time as allowing you to sign in with the root domain but then your ID has a path. I thought quill had been updated for that but I'll have to check
#
voxpelli
miklb: I pushed an update that allows you to set a branch-key in the sites.js
#
voxpelli
miklb: so do this now instead: repo: 'miklb.github.com', branch: 'jekyll'

The idea of that module was to enable customization, although I didn't get very far on the customize part of things

before I go about customizing anything, I need to make sure the defaults are all displaying properly anyway.

kylewm
aaronpk: have yall discussed formalizing a key/token parameter for webmention endpoints, so something like bridgy would know it was accessing an endpiont with some sort of authentication?
j12t joined the channel
#
kylewm
my intuition is that rediscovering and retrying the webmention endpoint for every failed/rejected mention would be beyond the pale for bridgy
#
kylewm
(like it wouldn't be worth caching at all)
#
aaronpk
it's not authentication though
#
aaronpk
the "expiring endpoint" is actually a standard CSRF technique
#
aaronpk
the same one that's built into Rails and Laravel now
#
kylewm
yeah I shouldn't have said authentication
#
aaronpk
probably the proper way to handle this is to actually make bridgy send authenticated webmentions
#
kylewm
or maybe if there was an http code that specifically meant expired
#
aaronpk
since I have to explicitly sign up for bridgy in order for it to send me webmentions, it seems reasonable that I could give it higher privileges at my site
dogada joined the channel
#
aaronpk
so if I want to use a CSRF-protected webmention endpoint, bridgy could say that it needs a way to bypass the CSRF protection, and it could then include an HTTP header with a token that I can check for
bret joined the channel
#
kylewm
that seems a little premature i guess
snarfed joined the channel
#
kylewm
like, I thnk we should prototype the CSRF behavior by having bridgy rediscover the endpoint every time, but it would be useful if it knew ahead of time if it needed to do that
#
snarfed
i get CSRF in general, but i don't quite get how it applies to webmention endpoints specifically
#
snarfed
i'd want to see a clear description of that first
#
kylewm
my understanding is it's basically to slow someone down, prevent them from sending a billion webmentions without having to send any GETs themseves
#
kylewm
cause it takes away their leverage if they have to send you a GET for every GET they "trick" you into sending someone else
#
aaronpk
it's also less important with current webmentions, but will be more important if anyone starts including things like session cookies or tokens along with the webmention request
#
kylewm
then it would *actually* be a CSRF token, right? not just an expiration
#
snarfed
ok. i understand the spam/throttling use case. just wanted to make sure we're talking about that, and not actually CSRF
#
aaronpk
the same technique is used for both
#
snarfed
sure, but which problem we're solving matters
#
snarfed
if it's spam, i'd personally be more reluctant to implement this technique specifically on the client side in bridgy

sorry, s/spam/dos throttling/, since that's actually the (straw man) problem. spam filtering is a bit different.
#
aaronpk
in either case, the spec is actually only specifically recommending a CSRF token, and only *if* you're accepting other authentication along with the source/target parameters, so it's no rush right now
#
kylewm
I meeeean, we know the DDoS case is real because it's been documented in pingback pretty thoroughly
#
aaronpk
that's not related to this though
#
aaronpk
you will have already passed this step by the time you're talking about the DDoS issue
#
snarfed
coming at it from a different angle, i should reread the spec to see what it says about caching...but there's definitely a need for high volume clients to be able to cache and not rediscover every time
#
snarfed
that's the (other) root cause here
#
kylewm
snarfed: I was specifically responding to this brainstorm http://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?diff=27218&oldid=27217&rcid=27180
#
kylewm
which I think would be the "worst of both worlds" for bridgy :)
#
snarfed
thanks kylewm! for single-use endpoints, yes, absolutely

@btconf we’re aiming at Berlin, again. But these #IndieWebCamp-guys will be a tough act to follow for you. But you can do it ;)

#
snarfed
a compromise might be to allow (more) caching when there's no endpoint, which is the majority case for bridgy

aaronpk: i switched my auth/token endpoints to https, and can no longer log into quill
#
[emmak]
the error i am getting is "Below is the raw response from your token endpoint (https://api.notenoughneon.com/api/token):", followed by an empty string
#
[emmak]
on my end, i can't see anything in the logs for the token endpoint
#
aaronpk
that most likely means there's someting wrong with the SSL config and quill isn't able to make a connection
#
aaronpk
ah yeah, you're missing the cert chain
#
[emmak]
ok, didn't realize that was something i needed to install
#
aaronpk
usually you'll also get an "intermediate" certificate
#
aaronpk
and depending on your web server, that gets installed in different ways
#
[emmak]
i got a chain.pem and fullchain.pem from letsencrypt but didn't know what they're for
#
aaronpk
use fullchain.pem and it will probably "just work"

it's pretty funny that sometimes after i post something on my site, i see the battery icon in the header bar, and am like oh crap i should charge my phone
#
kylewm
I think that too about your phone
#
aaronpk
something went wrong with the plug last night and i woke up and my phone was at 3% oops
#
aaronpk
i blame the sketchy hotel lamp outlet. whenever i plug something in to it, it flickers for a few seconds.

it looks like after i am redirected back to login-callback, woodwind is posting to the auth endpoint, which i don't understand

the only error i get from woodwind is "Login error: authorization failed. Unknown Error: Unknown Error"

[kylewm]
Oh yeah that's plain indieauth, rather than micropub

previously, my auth endpoint was returning an error because no "scope" was set in the request

after talking to aaronpk yesterday, i tried to implement "request_type=id", which it defaults to unless request type is code

Hmm, I admit I don't know about that. I might be missing support for is
#
[emmak]
this indieauth exchange looks different from how i understand its supposed to work in oauth 2

It may be legacy cruft from before token_endpoint

Do people use huffduffer as a list of things to listen to, of recommending things they liked to others?
#
snarfed
kylewm: the former
#
KartikPrabhu
adactio would know ;)
#
snarfed
oh i thought he was polling us :P
#
snarfed
yeah lots of both probably
#
KartikPrabhu
you can also create your own playlists IIRC to share using URLs! URLs! wow!
#
kylewm
Yeah I was polling. I think it was intended for the latter
#
kylewm
But useful for the former

KartikPrabhu
self-sharing ;)

ahh, snarfed, i was looking at the second entry, not the first, nice!

only on for beta users right now, but i'll probably flip the switch for everyone soon

Very helpful for back catalogs of podcasts where the episodes aren't in the feed, but are online.
#
kylewm

#
kylewm
I want to publish podcast episode recommendations, it would be cool to have that as a feed like HD, so you could subscribe to it
#
gRegorLove
Huffduffer to recommend would work well I'm sure, I just don't have a big network on there at this point.
#
snarfed
looking at mine, the vast majority are actually videos that i only needed to listen to, not watch
#
gRegorLove
Though I guess I could embed a feed of recommendations on my site.
#
gRegorLove
Or even import them as notes

ok everyone other than ben_thatmustbeme, you now have motivation to implement reactions :P

[kevinmarks]
MySQL's problem is that they want to map unicode back to fixed bit width characters so they can do case independent indexing, so they keep inventing wider bitwidth representations and breaking things by converting them

If you don't want their dumbass text indexing, blobs are a good idea.
