Hi, Aaron! I tried it and I'm getting this response on the site now: "Your account is currently being checked every 24 hours. Your account was last checked 6 days ago and will be checked again in just now."

That's good! It was probably confused because of the Instagram failures. You should hopefully see some photos appear soon!

#62 Error verifying Instagram account

This should be fixed now! Instagram made another round of "API" changes so I had to compensate! Please try it again!

I can’t make it to the Micro.blog Homebrew Meetup or to @monteiro’s talk tonight. I’m having a bout with hay fever that I hoped would settle down. Instead, my neighbor just started mowing the lawn. 🤧 💊💊

Oh no! Feel better!

Today’s lesson brought to you by echo '<pre>' . print_r($commits_response['0'], true) . '</pre>'; never once thought to wrap the output in pre tags before seeing it today.

I usually drop a little function into my projects function pa($a) { echo '<pre>'.print_r($a,true).'</pre>'; } for exactly that purpose. Then you can use pa() in place of print_r().

@simonmumbles I didn't ask. I view the audio snippets like a block quote. For me to be comfortable with it the length should feel equivalent to quoting 2-3 sentences out of a blog post.

That's a good rule of thumb. And the quoted audio should not end up being a "substantial" part of your work. As long as you have enough of your own original content in there, seems fair to be able to quote short snippets from others.

@manton If I remember my journalism classes correctly (15 years ago), you can use up to 60 seconds as Fair Use.

There's no hard and fast rule for what counts as "fair use". For example, if you were to use 60 seconds of a 120-second long work, that would likely not count as fair use because it would be reproducing a significant portion of the work.

@vishae I think there are problems right now with OwnYourGram and Instagram. My verification has stopped working in the last couple of days too. Perhaps @aaronpk could help.

It looks like Instagram changed something again so I'm going to have to track it down and fix OwnYourGram again.

I found that I have so many channels in my IndieReader that it was starting to create stress when I opened it. So I’m testing out viewing only channels with new content. Eventually this will be a filter setting you can quickly switch back and forth between

Nice! Yeah I'm having that problem too. One thing I like about glowing-bear.org is it has an option to only show IRC channels with new content, and there's a "search" box at the top of the list so you can quickly access your other channels. I think I've been holding off on doing something like this in Monocle until I can recreate that UI.

What I don't understand: let's say I write a new issue with Quill and somehow get an issue title and markdown support. When this entry gets posted via Micropub to my website and webmentions are mentioned to https://brid.gy, how can Brid.gy convert the HTML from my entry back to Markdown in Github? Does it do that, or is there some other magic going on.

cc: @aaronpk, @snarfed

Bridgy certainly could, but I don't know if it does. In my case my posts are stored as plaintext or markdown internally, and my site is the one pushing to github, not using Bridgy at all.

Just implemented two more anti-spam techniques.

• if you say more uppercase than lowercase characters other than the URL, and if you joined in the last 5 minutes, then you get kicked
• if you say the same URL 5 times within a minute, you get kicked

These only apply to people who are not +v registered on irc-people

I like the idea of giving the community the ability to help with this. That also happens to be the easiest thing to implement. Loqi now has a new !kick command.

If you are +v (you're registered on irc-people), you can use the new !kick command

You can say !kick foobar to kick that person from the room, but only if they joined less than 5 minutes ago

Mentioning the same link repeatedly. Needs some thought about a good limit, since people testing link preview is legit. Maybe the limit is >5 times within a minute and you're kicked. Maybe don't do rate limiting if you're v since that means you're registered in the wiki.

@aaronpk is this on a consistent schedule? If @macgenie hadn't pinged me, I would have missed it 😔

I want to do them monthly, I guess third Wednesday of the month, but this is only the second one so far. I'll always post them on https://indieweb.org/Events and http://calagator.org/events/tag/indieweb and they go out in the IndieWeb newsletter as well https://indieweb.org/this-week-in-the-indieweb

There's some overlap, but I am not opposed to what they might call silos in email services. Commercial email hosting is good as long as the federation system works.

That page refers specifically to the thing you're talking about in email, services innovating in non-compatible ways, locking people in to their service. There's nothing wrong with commercial services in the IndieWeb as long as they're interoperable.
