ben_thatmustbeme, setting up subdomain on known pro...what does 1799 IN CNAME domains.withknown.com supposed to mean?
#

parzzix: snarfed left you a message on 11/28 at 8:18pm: sorry bridgy's seemed inconsistent for you! do you know if you're missing things entirely? (see https://www.brid.gy/about#missing ) or if they just seem delayed? it slows down a bit if it hasn't sent you a webmention for a while, down to once a day at the slowest, but speeds back up when it sends another, so it could be that.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
parzzix: no clue. I haven't worked on known at all

lol aaronpk both you and shaners asked me that ;)
#
parzzix
hey kylewm , yeah... I set c name record. But it has unusual instructions at end "1799 IN CNAME domains.withknown.com"
#
kylewm
parzzix: you can !tell benwerd here to leave him a message, or ping him on twitter
#
parzzix
ok thanks.. will do kylewm
#
parzzix
!tell benwerd I am setting up subdomain on knownpro... was wondering what the "1799 IN CNAME domains.withknown.com". means in the instructions after setting up the first cname...it's not clear
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#

There's a lot that needs to be done for correctly finding original posts.
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: was at least some of of /original-post-discovery helpful?
#
tantek
would be great if you could document examples of holes you found, and workarounds
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I had been doing that for part of it. I was doing PSC parsing but my code messed up and was causing more errors
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I'm actually just checking for my own post 's syndication links. When I try to parse context I just check to see if it's a syndicated copy of my own posts
#
tantek
and somehow I accidentally silo-crossposted today from Foursquare
#
tantek
to Twitter
#
tantek
my remaining silo usage cluttered my Twitter POSSEing
#
tantek
now I have to figure out how to PESOS those back :/
#
tantek
I'm going to make them notes for now (rather than figure out a separate checkin type)

I believe i have successfully manually PESOS'd those accidental cross-silo checkin posts back to my own site, e.g. http://tantek.com/2015/087/t2/athletic-tshirts-sale and http://tantek.com/2015/087/t1/post-bike-riding-yum
#
tantek
thus I suppose these are manual /checkin posts on my own site - despite there not being location information in them.

whoa. i had no idea that github has been under attack for 3 days now: https://github.com/blog/1981-large-scale-ddos-attack-on-github-com

could this be related to China's DNS poisoning event in january?

e-lima joined the channel

cuibonobo
i think another great value of #indieweb that should probably be emphasized more is its resilience to censorship
#
cuibonobo
for instance, china's great firewall can very easily block facebook.com and twitter.com, but it will have a harder time identifying and blocking individual users on their own domains

#
cuibonobo
github is in a very difficult situation right now: the easiest way to mitigate the attack is to block chinese IP addresses
#
cuibonobo
(that's how many smaller sites dealt with the DNS poisoning in january)
#
cuibonobo
but blocking chinese IPs means that you would be blocking the very people that would benefit from the firewall-jumping projects

rhiaro
Setting up my micropub endpoint
#
rhiaro
I think I'm being really dumb, it's time to ask for help
#
rhiaro
I'm literally just trying to catch and log post requests to start with. When I post from aaronpk's Quill it says I'm not setting a Location header, and the ep doesn't actually seem to be getting anything. When I manually curl the exact post that Quill is sending, it works fine and the correct headers are returned
#
rhiaro
the mvp php if logging requests is here: http://mess.ninjalith.com/micropub

my attempt to turn yesterday's accidental Swarm->Twitter cross-posting into examples that hopefully we can use for design research purposes: http://indiewebcamp.com/checkin#Prototypes
#
rhiaro
tantek_: I was kind of hoping not to get stuck at the first hurdle
#
tantek_
rhiaro, sounds like you should/could at least capture that first hurdle as an FAQ or a Troubleshooting question on /Micropub
#
tantek_
that way you can leave a URL of a question for aaronpk to answer, hopefully capturing it in the wiki, so the next person can more easily overcome that hurdle
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
rhiaro
Yeah I will. I feel like I'm probably just not handling something properly but I don't know enough about http or php to figure it out..
#
rhiaro
Though when I look at where Quill is posting to, it seems to be to quill.p3k, not to my micropub endpoint, is that how it's supposed to work?
#
kylewm
rhiaro: hi, checking what quill looks like for me
#
aaronpk
Your mentioned the magic word
#
aaronpk
Is your site https? It could be an ssl issue
#

aaronpk
I'm not on my computer so I can't check, but there should be some debugging info in the quill post interface
#
rhiaro
yeah, it shows the request that Quill sent - if I send that with curl it's fine. I might be missing something else then. Quill just sends a regular POST right?
#
pdurbin
aaronpk: what do you use for an IRC client when you aren't on your computer?
#
aaronpk
Yeah. You're sure you're pointing to the right micro pub endpoint in an http header or link tag?
#
aaronpk
pdurbin: limechat connected to the same znc my computer client is connected to
#
rhiaro
Yes, it finds the micropub endpoint (or at least says it does)
#
aaronpk
Limechat on iOS
#
aaronpk
rhiaro: does it say what the endpoint it found is?
#
aaronpk
Oh! Relative url perhaps?
#
aaronpk
Try an absolute url
#
rhiaro
oh, my endpoint is /micropub which redirects to micropub.php, could that cause a problem?
#
rhiaro
it is absolute
#
rhiaro
found a typo
#
rhiaro
hold everything
#
aaronpk
Oh yeah if your endpoint returns an http redirect it won't work
#
aaronpk
Because post requests can't go through redirects
#
rhiaro
ohh, also redirect, okay
#
rhiaro
success!
#
rhiaro
thanks :)
#
aaronpk
Care to write a quick faq based on that?
