good job for your integration of SNAP
#
petermolnar
thank you, but it's massively incomplete, there's a lot more works to do on that
#
petermolnar
I'll keep continue adding more services to it, but SNAP is coded somewhat really ugly
#
Jihaisse

petermolnar: GWG left you a message 2 minutes ago: Curious...what are you doing with SNAP?
caseorganic joined the channel
#
GWG
petermolnar: I saw the comment when looking at the log earlier, was curious as I've used the SNAP plugin and had issues on and off with it.
#
petermolnar
it's still horrible but currently the most useful for me as I usually manually trim the messages for each system
BjornW joined the channel
#
petermolnar
( although I've only restarted this recently, my first syndication experiences a few years ago failed miserably, I'm trying a different approach now )
#
petermolnar
oh, the message from a few hours ago was for that I added a minimal support of SNAP to WordPress rel-syndication plugin
#
GWG
petermolnar: Got a link for that? That was on my list.
#
petermolnar
SNAP's code is incredibly ugly to get anything out from it and it's full of manual exceptions
#
GWG
Yes.
#
petermolnar
this is the best I could do for now
#
GWG
My plan was to extract the data from the array and put it into a different field.
#
GWG
To allow for the storage of the URL to be handled by any plugin, but to allow for flexible display.
#
petermolnar
it might be enought to fix the missing/messed up postURL field in the snap entry array
#
GWG
rel-syndication adds the content as a hook to the end.
#
GWG
I built my display into the theme.
paulcp joined the channel
#
GWG
But I want to pull it out, and put it in as an if function_exists call.
#
petermolnar
we could add a minimal options page for rel-syndication to do it automatically or not
#
GWG
I think it can just be based on a theme override.
Sebastien-L joined the channel
#
GWG
Do you have a site I can see how you are displaying it?
#
GWG
Have you seen my display?
#
petermolnar
could you please link it?
eschnou joined the channel
#
petermolnar
nice, and not entirely different ( meaning: it could be morphed from my one to your one with css, but it would be a bit ugly )
#
petermolnar
but I see why you want the function based and not automatized insertion
#
GWG
Well, I could also just take the retrieval code.
#
GWG
But I like to think of upstream solutions
#
GWG
But, I think I can add value for other use cases.
#
GWG
Although right now, must excuse myself.

I am a noobe and have set up a WP site with the indieweb SNAP, among others. When I post to my site Facebook and Twitter get my posts fine. When someone replys to my tweets the reply comes back to my site but the Facebook comments do not. When I go to the brid.gy site all the twitter replys are there but not facebook. I'm sure I doing something wrong but could someone let me know where to look so Facebook works as well as Twitt

Hi all.
#
chrisroos
@tommorris What do you think about another London meeting of HWC next week?
#
tgbrun
kylewm: When I went to setup on the SNAP package it had an option to post with attached link, which I presume is the link of the post, and then I, in advanced settings checked Import Facebook Comments and auto-approve imported comments. Is that sufficient, or do I need to do more?

kbs
barnabywalters: guess you should directly dd uncompressed tarballs to avoid filesystem issues too :)
#
kbs
(but what KevinMarks_ said - if you want to protect things for the 'long' term, worth using formats that are 'recoverable' from partial errors.)
#
kbs
zip (and git I guess) also incorporate a per-file checksum - handy to do sanity checks - idea worth using if you find a different format useful.

petermolnar
akismet started to identify brid.gy webmentions as spam as of today for me, does it do the same for anyone else?
#
aaronpk
oh dear
snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG
petermolnar, I don't use it at the moment
#
aaronpk
it learns if you mark things as not spam, right?
#
petermolnar
I hope so
#
petermolnar
I started moving them out from spam folder
#
bnvk
petermolnar: do you get email notifications from Bridgy?
#
aaronpk
bridgy doesn't send emails as far as i know
#
petermolnar
bnvk no, I don't get mails from Bridgy
#
bnvk
oh, sorry- I didn't see the line about akismet
#
ben_thatmustbeme
haha, sweet. responsive design jumps my notes back in to order within the stream when it goes below a certain size
#
ben_thatmustbeme
... sorry, just excited
nloadholtes and paulcp joined the channel
#
kbs
yay for media queries :)
#
kylewm
petermolnar: does it give you any info about why it's being marked as spam? i know spamassassin had a little breakdown of all the heuristics the message triggered
#
bnvk
ben_thatmustbeme: url for that responsive goodness?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i'm thinking i'll just have it split out only notes, once i get photos working i want to have them shown like they are old poloroids
#
ben_thatmustbeme
ben.thatmustbe.me
#
petermolnar
not spamassassin, akismet as WordPress antispam service, so I don't have a clue why it's marking spams
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i still have a LOT of styling to do, but i'm just toying around with it a bit
#
ben_thatmustbeme
bnvk, the home page only, its just going to be a single stream of all entries now
#
kylewm
petermolnar: also, i tried googling for your blog ... most amusing image search results yet?
#
bnvk
petermolnar: they have changed the API, but I believe akismet has a "ham" flag you send that basically whitelists certain comments
#
bnvk
err *may have changed

#
luxagraf
hey all
#
luxagraf
more questions... anyone got figured out a good way to display both a comment form and something like adactio's mention form without it all being too much? struggling with how to let people know that webmentions are another way to comment
#
aaronpk
heh, my solution was to drop the comment form entirely :)
#
luxagraf
aaronpk: love to, but my audience on luxagraf is not necessarily tech savvy and i don't want to exclude people who don;t have a site
#
kbs
wonders if someone has already implemented a convenient drop-in webmention<->pastebin form, though that rather seems to miss the point of webmentions :)
#
aaronpk
kbs: that does indeed miss the point of webmentions :)
#
GWG
petermolnar: Would you consider switching plugins if you can't whitelist?
caseorganic joined the channel
#
luxagraf
is there an indie web equivelant of Gravatar? Would that be why you include a img tag in your hcard?
#
kbs
aaronpk: on a different note (and also realizing it's not long enough) so far haven't seen any unexpected issues with wget for wiki backups - seems to be working as expected since you set it up
#
KartikPrabhu
luxagraf: what is the problem with just showing two forms? As in "Send me a link to your reply" + webmention form + "or comment below" + comment form?
#
GWG
luxagraf: That is how I understand it.
#
aaronpk
kbs: oh great!
#
luxagraf
KartikPrabhu: 2 forms works okay on desktop, but it gets really clumsy on mobile and almost 40% of my traffic is mobile
#
luxagraf
GWG: okay that's what i figured.
#
KartikPrabhu
luxagraf: oh yeah I see...
#
GWG
luxagraf: If you have the URL, you could generate a gravatar like service. That is on my list of project idea somewhere
#
GWG
ideas
#
KartikPrabhu
luxagraf: yeah the img in the hcard is so that people can use that as your photo/avatar elsewhere
caseorganic and tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
luxagraf: re: audience is not necessarily tech savvy - they can always tweet about your post, and past the link to their tweet into the webmention form
#
tantek
you could even make a "comment on twitter" button which did all that, popped up a window to post a tweet, got the permalink, and sent yourself a webmention
#
GWG
I'd be interested to see someone look at the volume of 'local' comments to backfed ones on a given site/sites.
#
GWG
tantek: Has anyone done that?
#
luxagraf
tantek: that's a good idea
bnvk joined the channel
#
tantek
GWG - not AFAIK - just a brainstorm I've tossed out there before.
#
tantek
Thought I'd put it on the wiki somewhere but can't seem to find it now
#
tantek
it might just be in UI sketches I've done in a paper notebook
#
luxagraf
The solution I've been leaning toward is to hide the form(s) behind buttons like "comment" "send me a link" and so on so that would work well within that
#
GWG
tantek: The wiki is vast
#
tantek
yeah I can't find it on the wiki, might just be in my UI sketches
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I'll second that
#
GWG
tantek: You remember the other day I was thinking about my taking over of the comment form on Wordpress and what else I might do with that...such as webactions...that suggestion might work well.
#
tantek
anyway - that's my plan for supporting comments for people who don't have their own site.
#
tantek
right - as a fallback for webactions
#
tantek
for a comment box webaction
#
GWG
tantek: Where are these UI sketches?
#
tantek
in a paper notebook
#
aaronpk
would anybody use upload-via-email to post images to the wiki if that existed?
#
GWG
There was also KartikPrabhu's post on why he is anti-local-comments.
#
KartikPrabhu
who harkens there!
#
KartikPrabhu
reads back
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: is upload via email any better than what exists now?
#
kbs
aaronpk: seems less convenient than just uploading locally? (i expect most people edit from desktop rather than mobile)
#
aaronpk
i've definitely heard complaints about how difficult it is to upload photos right now, espeically from mobile
#
aaronpk
photos of events for example
#
aaronpk
and photos of sketchbooks
#
KartikPrabhu
luxagraf: I was going to suggest having buttons which then reveal the form underneath
#
kbs
aaronpk: ah, gotcha.
#
kbs
should put some details about his handy-but-weird android->laptop auto-upload
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu, luxagraf: There are also pop up/out form options

reply to GWG's question: Would you consider switching plugins if you can't whitelist?

tpinto, snarfed, barnabywalters, kevinbae, chloeweil and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
Jeena
snarfed so I have this weird problem where facebook creates two posts when I upload a picture via the API, with two different URLs but the exactly same content (same comments, same likes). Sadly if someone likes then bridgy sends out two webmentions which look almost alike but have two different uid:s. Do you have any ideas around that problem and how one could tackle it?
#
snarfed
Jeena: hey, yeah, i saw that yesterday
#
snarfed

#
snarfed
evidently i thought i fixed this a bit ago: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/127

aaronpk it may be interesting to explore using mapmyrun.com to PESETAS fitness information and then use their open API to feed it all into your own site. https://www.mapmyapi.com/Standard_API
#
tantek
KevinMarks_: nice! be sure to remind people that IndieWebCamp 2014 is coming up June 28-29 in West and East!
#
tantek
aaronpk - anyway, they guy (Sam) was pretty adamant about providing as open APIs as possible so it be worth exploring - especially since it appears to be "working" right now

Unless you were inviting them to West. I was hoping to route the most fascinating people to East. But that's because I like meeting interesting people. I enjoyed meeting Tantek, for example.
#
tgbrun
GWG: Really well, thanks for asking. I got SNAP to post to Facebook and Twitter.Indieweb for getting comments and responses back to my site.

well that was an unintended side effect

GWG
I've never tried to choose a license before.
#
tantek
GWG - CC0
#
tantek
simplest, easiest, least hassle
#
bret
what about MIT?

tantek
bret - MIT is US-centric

GWG
tantek: What are the downsides to the CCO?

GWG
I should have stuck to writing...I understood those licenses.
#
tantek
GWG you have pretty much zero control over anything people do with your code.
#
tantek
GWG if you understand Public Domain then you understand CC0 - which is basically international public domain.

Well, I don't think my code is good enough for people to have any commercial use for it. But, I'll put it in the public domain
#
aaronpk
well so much for that idea. i'm going to have to try ading that index again later

so for anyone following along at home, here's what happened
#
tantek
KevinMarks_: nothing on John Borthwick's site borthwick.com for about a year. Last post was about an "RSS Community Meetup" which has no follow-up, nor does the post on Winer's post
#
tantek
so there is no RSS Community then right? if you hold a meetup and no one shows up?
#
aaronpk
I was trying to add a new index to the irclog database so that I can export by day faster
#
KevinMarks_
I am going to nag him about it
#
tantek
no seriously
#
aaronpk
adding the index was taking a long long time because there are so many IRC logs
#
tantek
KevinMarks_: maybe point out that no one cares (or should care) about plumbing-focused discussions?
#
KevinMarks_
he runs Betaworks, (instapaper, digg et al)
#
tantek
so he understands a thing or two about UX then
#
aaronpk
so the database locked the table, and any attempt at writing to it (e.g. every time someone said something in any IRC channel Loqi is in), that operation would stay open until the DB freed the lock
#
KevinMarks_
yay databases
#
Loqi
does a happy dance!
#
tantek
hahaha
#
tantek
files have similar (if not worse) locking issues though
#
tantek
to be fair
#
tantek
databases, *in theory* can parallelize better. with table-level locking (instead of db-level / file level) and sometimes even row-level locking (I know Oracle could do that like 20+ years ago)
#
aaronpk
so there ended up being thousands of connections waiting, and at some point the DB stopped accepting new connections
#
aaronpk
so all my sites including the wiki and my own site started throwing DB errors

#
KevinMarks_
this is the dirty secret of DB's - "Alter Table" is the end of the world
#
KevinMarks_
DB people say "mapreduce is a crazy way to do queries" but miss that it is a smart way to do "alter table"

I still need to write that rant

aaronpk, barnabywalters ok I've braindumped what I have off the top of my head and could easily find to link to on the wiki to http://indiewebcamp.com/exercise - have at it!
#
tantek
kylewm - for *some*
#
tantek
CC0 can be used for both, and I've had Mozilla's lawyers review it :)
#
kylewm
thanks, I'll add that to /licensing
#
KevinMarks_
CC0 is PD with better internationlaization
#
aaronpk
wow so content
#

kylewm - great thanks

aaronpk, which? /exercise?

thinks both the fitness and licensing pages have left the 'stub' stage

we don't really have a good threshold for when something is no longer a stub

A stub is an article that is brand new or considered incomplete by the authors/contributors, based on opinion or arbitrary measure http://indiewebcamp.com/stub

I now have a github repository. I shall now celebrate appropriately.
#
kylewm
GWG: by leaving off-topic comments in the issues of a high-profile repository?
#
GWG
I was thinking by committing?
#
kylewm
you're right that is more appropriate :)

what is an archive?

oops ;)
#

caseorganic: snarfed: interesting! I don’t really get the “record/playback” thing.
#
barnabywalters
is it supposed to track my clicks and archive each site?
#
barnabywalters
s/site/page
#
Loqi
barnabywalters meant to say: is it supposed to track my clicks and archive each page?
#
tantek
yeah, the language is misleading
#
tantek
by "record" it means "crawl"
#
tantek
and by "playback" it means "view warc.gz file"
#
barnabywalters
okay. that’s a nice tool!
#
barnabywalters
sort of like http://archive.is but for downloading personal archives instead of archiving to someone’s server
#
tantek
aaronpk - do you have a suggestion for how I could improve the introduction / dfn of http://indiewebcamp.com/archive ?

KevinMarks can you revert to the previous working version?

I tried that before and it didn't work. I need to spend a few hours spelunking though it
