originally with a bunch of nasty hacks, basically a massive switch-case at various hooks checking for post meta

after that I've tried your plugin

I had a strong urge to switch to grav, but:
#
petermolnar
- the media handling is gd based, stripping the metadata which I - in opposite of all recommendations - intend to keep in all sizes, since I mostly post my own photos and exif is important
#
petermolnar
- it doesn't have features - yet - like scheduled posts which I also use
#
petermolnar
- and I'd have to do a hell lot of work to rewrite my theme :(

aaronpk: btw, regarding my note there, here's the code: https://github.com/voxpelli/metadataparser
#
aaronpk
cool I will take a look!
#

Bonus: It enables fallback on non-microformat metadata by having a fully compliant og-parser
#

I currently don't run it on Lambda for my endpoint though as I've got plenty of power left in my Heroku dyno
#

what is Lambda?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Lambda" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/s/102L
#
aaronpk
Lambda is a service from Amazon Web Services that runs individual functions of code rather than running a server http://aws.amazon.com/lambda/

#
aaronpk
i really like the idea of using Lambda for dealing with parsing external resources since I don't have to worry about resources or security of my own servers making a bunch of requests to random servers
#
voxpelli
indeed – at Bloglovin we batched the requests into groups of 20 or so (or if it took longer than X time we sent the batch anyway) and fetched+parsed them in parallel on Lambda, sending them back individually over SQS
#
voxpelli
and made it as a progressive enhancement where it could just as well run in-process as be sent to Lambda – same code in both places
#
KevinMarks
that sounds neat
#
tantek
indeed - quite clever.
#
Jeena
what is Lambda?
#
KartikPrabhu
what is salmention?
#
Loqi
Salmentions are a way to propagate comments upstream by sending a webmention from a reply post to the original post when the reply recieves a comment https://indiewebcamp.com/salmention
#
KartikPrabhu
Are slametions supposed to be sent only for reply posts?
#
KartikPrabhu
what about likes, and all that?
#
aaronpk
i would think you'd send a webmention any time your post is updated, whether that "update" occurs because you display a new comment, like, etc
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: no I meant, should I send a salmention only to the post I replied too when I get an update; or resend a webmention to any link I have linked to?
#
KartikPrabhu
example: K liked a post by A, then C replies to K's post. Should K send an update webmention to A's post?
#
aaronpk
a reply to a like? I guess the question is whether A would want to do something with that reply
#
KartikPrabhu
yes. but there is no way for K to know if A does something with that.
#
aaronpk
if you take the example of RTing things on twitter, then the answer is yes
#
aaronpk
there's no way to know if someone is going to accept or display or handle a webmention when you send one, but that doesn't stop you from sending them anyway
#
voxpelli
everything that received a webmention on creation should receive one on an update I think
#
aaronpk
that sounds reasnoable
#
KartikPrabhu
ok. first must figure out how to send auto-webmentions in my backend
#
voxpelli
KartikPrabhu: working on Salmentions?
#
KartikPrabhu
first working on how to send webmentions automatically
#
aaronpk
a webmention sending service is another great candidate for a Lambda function
#
voxpelli
KartikPrabhu: ok, I'm doing the reverse – first retrieving Salmentions from others and then sending them – working on that right now
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: will it automatically poll for new things?
#
aaronpk
that would be a separate piece
#
aaronpk
the function would take a URL with an h-entry as the input, find all the links in the content, and send webmentions to each
#
aaronpk
separately I could make a thing that polls a feed for new h-entrys
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm I already have that :)
#
voxpelli
aaronpk: would be pretty wasteful I think though as the lambda-process would spend most of its time waiting for external connections – unless one can batch it into bigger batches it's probably not worth it for any other reason than possible security wins
#
voxpelli
oh, if one did the parsing as well, then sure
#
aaronpk
i guess it would be a couple of lambda functions actually, one to parse the original page, and a separate function for actually sending each webmention

going through this massive rewrite is giving me a great opportunity to spin off more microservices to avoid having to write everything again and again
#
Jeena
Damn, it doesn't help to just own your notes https://jeena.net/notes/423 you even need to copy the links you link to because two weeks later the note becomes meaningless
#
KartikPrabhu
err what?
#
aaronpk
Jeena: yeah, that's one of the reasons I show the contents of posts I "like" so that I have an archive copy of them
#
Jeena
but even with videos?
#
aaronpk
no I dont download the actual media (yet)
#
KartikPrabhu
Jeena: oh of course. Youtube yanks videos all the time. I've had that happen
#
Jeena
yeah, some day I will need to do copies too
#
KartikPrabhu
also Downloading and displaying removed Youtube videos might be considered violation of ToS
#
tantek
archive them anyway, whether you display them or not. you can decide that later.
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
KartikPrabhu
but to Jeena 's point his note will still be broken

re: Jeena's "broken" note - the note still "works", just suboptimal that the video is not viewable
#
tantek
Is there anyway for users to challenge copyright claims made on others' videos?
#
aaronpk
afaik only the video author can do that
#
aaronpk
which reminds me, i should go check on that claim i filed
#
tantek
basically, crowdsource the evaluation of the claim, and make that public
#
tantek
is there a way to ping archive.org with a Youtube video URL to make them archive it?
#
aaronpk
they matched 1 minute 50 seconds of a video as being a random song i've never heard of but the video is literally silent at that point
#
tantek
can you document this incident publicly? with links and a timeline of your requests? (e.g. on /YouTube
#
aaronpk
hard to find actual dates for anything since there are no emails or anything happening, and no log on youtube
#
tantek
the matching "literally silent" is particularly bad
#
tantek
you don't get email cc's of your form submissions or anything?
#
tantek
did you keep a personal log of it?
#
aaronpk
no, and no email notifications of anything
#
aaronpk
i think i mentioned it in IRC when this first happened
#
aaronpk
also I think my dispute was rejected, because now the link says "Appeal rejected dispute", but i'm not quite sure what it used to say
#
tantek
not even a "we have received your request" email confirmation?

the copyright claim on literally silent is disturbing

aaronpk
i'm preeetty sure there's no audio
#
aaronpk
let me check with headphones, maybe it's just super quiet

aaronpk
there's some background hissing, and some faint voices of people talking
#
aaronpk
half way through the hissing goes away, then comes back really loud, then there is actually no sound for about 20 seconds

aaronpk
right after the timestamp of the claim is when my music actually starts

yeah there is no way any reasonable person could listen to this and think it's a copyright violation

KevinMarks: you want the sandbox attribute :)
#
tantek
what is sandbox?
#
Loqi
The sandbox attribute of the HTML5 <iframe> element can be used to greatly restrict what the framed content can do https://indiewebcamp.com/sandbox
#
KevinMarks
just out sandbox on it?
#
tantek
it has details - read up on it
#
KevinMarks
yeah, I am, not sure what these would break
#
KevinMarks
thing is I can't apply that retroactively
#
KevinMarks
the site creating the iframe has to put sandbox on
#
tantek
no no - you just put an iframe inside instead of redirecting :)
#
KevinMarks
I suppose I could make an iframe of them in my iframe
#
KevinMarks
then I can do the pageaspreview trick and shrink them too
#
tantek
thus have a fallback that they're motivated to improve by adding an h-card
#
KevinMarks
or not; I suspect some will look better
#
tantek
ah, that's your challenge to do better :)

right, my design skills are so mush better than all websites ever o_O

if I do the 1/4size iframe in iframe trick it may be evn better
#
KevinMarks
especially fro the about.me ones - if you hover Chris or Debs here, they take over the site http://www.kevinmarks.com/hwc2015-07-15.html
#
tantek
did sandbox not work to stop the framebusting?
#
KevinMarks
didn't do it yet
#
KevinMarks
it did on the test page
#
KevinMarks
though I should just test for about.me and put a warning up
#
KevinMarks
as the sandboxed ifraem is black
#
tantek
that's why you may want to customize the sandbox attribute to see if you can allow some not all things
