bear aaronpk kevinmarks etc: I added name and website to /chat-people. I also added a table view instead of a list. Which do yall think is better? Especially for a very long list like /irc-people actually is.

what is h-card-as-a-service?
#
Loqi
h-card as a service is a website built by http://assets.veganstraightedge.com/images/apple-touch-icon-57-precomposed.pngShane Becker to prototype the idea of replacing wiki profile pages with a simple form with fields for commonly used properties (name, url, photo, etc) already used by several people on the wiki which could be used as a single point of lookup for people’s h-card info https://indiewebcamp.com/h-card_as_a_service

hello
#
jonnybarnes
is aaronpk there?
#
jonnybarnes
I’m trying to use Quill with my micropub endpoint, but syndication endpoint discovery isn’t working properly
#
jonnybarnes
which will be my end I’m sure
#
aaronpk
I changed quill recently
#
aaronpk
check out the latest micropub spec, it should tell you what it expects
#
ePirat
what's quill?
#
jonnybarnes
does syndicate-to need to be an array if theres only one target?
#
aaronpk
What is Quill?
#
Loqi
Quill is a simple app for posting text notes to your website using Micropub https://indiewebcamp.com/Quill
#
aaronpk
jonnybarnes yes
#
ePirat
Ah, thanks Loqi
#
Loqi
you're welcome
#
jonnybarnes
would `http_build_query(['syndicate-to[]' => 'twitter.com/jonnybarnes']);` work?
#
jonnybarnes
I currently have that without the square brackets after syndicate-to
#
aaronpk
I can't remember if I left that in Quill as a fallback, but check out micropub.net which describes a slightly larger response which allows you to have a display name separately from the value used in the syndicate-to parameter

#
jonnybarnes
oh hang on: “The endpoint MUST return the response in [JSON] format”
#
jonnybarnes
so I shouldn’t be using http_build_query
#
ben_thatmustbeme
no, we changed that, it is a bit nicer now having names for things
#
snarfed
petermolnar: i ran Namecoin-Qt locally a few days ago to try to register a .bit domain. it ran for days and never converged. :/ i eventually gave up
#
petermolnar
you do have namecoins to spend, right?
#
snarfed
no, i ran it in order to acquire some :/
#
petermolnar
oh, that won't happen. nc is a btc clone, which means you now need immense computing power to mine it
#
petermolnar
so you either buy them or wait a loooong time to mine them

would this be a correct response from my micorpub endpoint for a syndicate-to request? https://gist.github.com/jonnybarnes/6d6ee07b1a52286abd34ebc042ca596f
#
[kylewm]
jonnybarnes: close, the syndicate-to value should be an array

jonnybarnes
kylewm: how would I get json_encode to do that?

I’ve updated the gist to show the php thats generating the response

ePirat
well I wanted to ask aaronpk about https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention/issues/20
#
aaronpk
ePirat: i'm off and on IRC this morning so your best bet is to leave a question here that i can respond to when i have a minute
tantek_ and wolftune joined the channel
#
ePirat
aaronpk well it's more a discussion topic, I will just ping you another time. I don't think this issues is properly solved.
#
ePirat
and I just wanted to make sure that I am not misunderstanding something before I continue commenting on the github issue.
#
aaronpk
the security consideration paragraph doesn't address it for you?
#
bnvk
has anyone considered making a webmention Discourse plugin?
#
ePirat
aaronpk not really, no. proposed ways to mitigate the issue do not help to solve the actual problem: my server can be made to POST to any server.
#
aaronpk
that's a different issue
#
aaronpk
also pretty sure that's not true
#
aaronpk
your server can be made to make a GET request to any server
#
aaronpk
but you will only make a POST request to a server that is declared as the webmention endpoint for links that you link to
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
ePirat
aaronpk but that's exactly what this issue is about? using a crafted webmention endpoint.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
ePirat
which is not a real webmention endpoint
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
that's actually a salmention issue then
#
ePirat
yes
#
ePirat
there should be some way for my server to check, if the referenced endpoint actually handles webmentions for the website that links that endpoint.
#
ePirat
aaronpk yes, I think that is a very good solution
KevinMarks and KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
that's a pretty big change, and not something that can just be added right now. but if you think that solution is important you should say that on the github thread and we'll talk about it with the group again.
#
ePirat
aaronpk which one? the one I linked? I am confused as there are so many different repos…

#
ePirat
aaronpk ok, commented.
#
ePirat
aaronpk thanks
#
aaronpk
thanks
#
aaronpk
could you clarify *why* it's bad to make a post to an arbitrary server?
#
aaronpk
the post will only contain source and target parameters, so it's not arbitrary requests
#
@aaronpk
@synvila Have you seen https://woodwind.xyz/ It's pretty much exactly what you described! :-) #indieweb
(twitter.com/_/status/748222971324440576)
#
ePirat
aaronpk I agree but there are horrible things out there, where it might be enough to post something or which would evaluate url parameters as well.
#
ePirat
aaronpk and I don't want it to be possible that my server could be abused for (even an unlikely) attack.
#
ePirat
aaronpk of course if you decide that the issue is too hard to actually exploit, I would understand. just wanted to point it out that's not fully addressed.
snarfed joined the channel
#
ePirat
aaronpk and as far as I understand the only affected thing would be salmention, so I could choose to just not support them.
#
aaronpk
oh wait a sec, that reminds me
#
aaronpk
i think my understanding of salmention was wrong when i wrote that issue
#
aaronpk
salmention only says that you need to re-send webmentions you previously sent. it doesn't make you send new webmentions that you haven't sent before.
#
tantek
right
#
aaronpk
which means you actually won't be in the situation of a commenter being able to cause you to send webmentions to something arbitrary
#
ePirat
aaronpk Ah, so I would just use the host from which the original webmention was sent for salmention?
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
aaronpk
you should re-discover the webmention endpoint like normal, but you'd only be doing that for links you had previously sent webmentions to
#
Loqi
I agree
#
aaronpk
you won't be sending a new webmention to the new commenter
#
ePirat
ah, ok
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
ePirat
ok, I guess I need to re-read the salemention stuff
#
ePirat
aaronpk so If I understand correctly, when I write a post, mentio foo.org, I would webmention foo.org and when updating the post, only re-mention foo.org, not commenters of my post?
#
aaronpk
correct
#
ePirat
ok
#
ePirat
there is no issue then.
#
ePirat
will add another comment.
#
aaronpk
thanks. i just added a comment clarifying the salmention issue too.
#
aaronpk
this is actually a great demonstration of why webmention is not a good solution for passing comments *down* stream
#
aaronpk
(salmention = upstream)
#
ePirat
aaronpk would the security consideration you added to the draft still apply then?
#
aaronpk
yes, the security consideration starts out with "It is possible for an attacker to advertise a Webmention endpoint that points to an arbitrary URL." which is still true. but that case will only be hit if the attacker causes you to actually post a link to their site in your own post. so it's more like a targeted phishing attack in that sense.

i'm just setting up unit tests, and saw that todo in the code, so i moved it to an issue. didn't mean anything beyond that.

snarfed
the stock answer here is, turn your attention to your itches for your own site :P

GWG: nope

GWG
snarfed, so my follow-up question about how you'd feel about matching the structure is one you can't answer?

snarfed
probably
#
snarfed
i'm not a great person to maintain the micropub plugin in general right now, since i don't really use it myself :/
#
snarfed
but there we are

GWG
Basically, the functionality moves to a second file and the main plugin file is just a loader.

GWG
snarfed, do you want me to take over? I want to use it

GWG: maybe! you could definitely become a committer at least

first step is actually to start using it. :P then get a few more PRs merged, *then* maybe think about taking over

yes - you can totally arrive early and hang out in the 1st floor area
#
tantek
just tell the receptionist you are there for Homebrew Website Club
#
tantek
she'll email me and I'll try to get there
#
aaronpk
it looks like we are converging on the pieces necessary for the july 4 switch: http://indiewebcamp.com/rename_to_IndieWeb
#
aaronpk
maybe we can make a call on that tonight at HWCs?
#
tantek
sounds like a good idea
#
tantek
have we minimized as much as we can?
#
tantek
aaronpk: what did you decide about socialwg.indiewebcamp?
#
aaronpk
i haven't thought about that yet
#
tantek
so it stays there for now?
#
aaronpk
that page is trimmed down pretty well. anything that isn't *technically* essential is actually agreed upon anyway
#
aaronpk
i can certainly leave it there for now since the actual backend logs are pretty separate from everything else anyway
#
tantek
ok, maybe it belongs in a "would be nice to fix really soon after" section?
#
tantek
since as you said, it's not *technically* necessary
#
aaronpk
works for me
#
tantek
at this point I'm a pretty big fan of minimizing to reduce the work (especially on you) for the holiday weekend
#
aaronpk
yes especially since i'm going to be offline most of the weekend 😂

created /carb.js (+197) "prompted by tantek and dfn added by tantek"

#
aaronpk
pretty much going to have to do everything on the 4th
#
tantek
your call!
#
aaronpk
i'm biking out to a campground on friday, and returning sunday night. 60 miles each way 😮

Do we want to grep all the html on github for mf2?

lol @ dot and slash is more cumbersome than saying dot twice
#
aaronpk
you don't agree?
#
[kylewm]
(I recognize that there is some intangible “feel” aspect to all of this, that’s hard to put into words)
#
aaronpk
linguistically, "slash chat" is a very awkward phrase
#
[kylewm]
I suspect non-tech people are slightly more used to bare domain slash something (go to audible dot com slash mypodcast for a free trial)
#
aaronpk
you have to come to a complete stop in order to separate "sh" and "ch"
#
[kylewm]
slash chat is where we talk about Guns n Roses
#
[kylewm]
aaronpk: yep I see your point about the awkward consonance
[benatwork] joined the channel
#
[benatwork]
yeah, that means something a bit different in Scotland
#
[benatwork]
also the sheer number of referrals I get for the “facebook login” search tells me that URL design is essentially moot for non-technical users
#
aaronpk
the good news is our /IRC page is already the top result for https://www.google.com/?q=indieweb+chat
#
snarfed
yup. navigational queries like that make up an astounding fraction of google searches
#
snarfed
like, 40-50% last i checked
#
aaronpk
i've definitely done that from time to time
#
aaronpk
(not facebook, but other sites)
#
aaronpk
sometimes I accidentally google "google" but that's just when the address bar autocomplete screws up
#
[benatwork]
my favorite moment on the internet is when a readwriteweb article became the #1 search result for “facebook login” for a day or so and thousands of visitors left angry comments about the facebook redesign

for those that are attending the Homebrew Website Club Meetup in SF tonight... it's my first time, how will I find people? the location is the open area of a first floor of a big building as I understand.
#
KevinMarks
I'm a little surprised Vic never got them to onebox "Facebook login" to g+
#
aaronpk
it's at mozilla, tell the receptionist you're there for homebrew website club
#
[shurcool]
also, the first hour is "Quiet writing hour before the meetup" so are people just going to work quietly/independently?
#
aaronpk
it's hard to miss though, it's right when you walk in
#
[shurcool]
okay, thanks
#
KevinMarks
The receptionist will insist on calling tantek if you get there before 5:30
#
[shurcool]
ah okay great
#
[shurcool]
I wasn't sure if it was just people meeting in an open public area
#
[kylewm]
shurcool: it’s the entrance off Embarcadero, by the big firefox logo
#
[shurcool]
thanks :slightly_smiling_face:
#
[shurcool]
see ya soon!

Final sentence is the key.
