    @aaronpk I'm implementing a Micropub endpoint on a Vapor site (written in Swift). According to the Indieweb.org documentation, the state parameter “can contain anything”. Does this mean a String or Int are perfectly acceptable?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yep, tho technically query string parameters are not typed so it's all a string in the end. For more info you can look up the OAuth 2.0 usage of the state parameter, it's the same thing. The authorization server will return whatever you send as the value.

    @aaronpk for example a jf2 feed as fallback if theme does not support mf2?

    Like: Accept: text/html, application/jf2feed+json

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah exactly, that way the client can tell the server what formats it can handle, so the server can decide to return a jf2feed (or maybe just the microformats json?) instead. This should also work behind caching proxies since they should take the Accept header into account.

    Just to be clear, I'm not sold on this idea to begin with, but I would hate to see a super non-standard way of doing it.

    #28 standardized format for errors

    Aaron Parecki
    Probably best to use the same format as Micropub: https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#error-response

    hrm, i'm not sure. sounds like this would have most of the problems we've documented in https://indieweb.org/sidefile-antipattern . i imagine you'll end up with different content in this special theme, and that will diverge from the user-visible theme even more over time. not to mention you then have twice the maintenance work since there are two themes instead of one.

    Aaron Parecki
    Sounds kind of like doing content negotiation to return a different document for a specific request. I'm not a huge fan of requiring content negotiation but it seems that would be a better approach than this theme switching, since at least there are existing defined behaviors for it. Theme switching seems like it'd be full of problems like if there is a cache plugin or if it's behind a caching cdn...

    @smokey @aaronpk @eli must be some feed then? I think as long as the timezone is taken care of in the feeds, it should not be an issue for the reader, especially if the responses originated at Micro.blog?

    Aaron Parecki
    My replies are all sent via webmention from my website, not created in micro.blog. I’m guessing that’s where the discrepancy is.

    @aaronpk is ther 12" MacBook your everyday driver?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah that’s my main machine. I also have a 13” pro that I use for video editing and audio work. It handles final cut better than the 12” tho I can do video on the 12” in a pinch. It’s also nice to have a computer without all my normal distractions.

    @aaronpk do you need to do anything special to push that many pixels?

    Aaron Parecki
    It’s actually only half the pixels of a 4K display, so my 12” MacBook can drive it fine. It’s 3440x1440.

    Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.

    Aaron Parecki
    I think that's a webmention.io bug where it sees the post is an rsvp but doesn't take in to account that its an rsvp to something that isn't on your site

    #74 invite/mention showed up as an RSVP to me

    Aaron Parecki
    Turns out XRay does handle the invitee property already: https://xray.p3k.io/parse?pretty=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fboffosocko.com%2F2018%2F07%2F20%2Frsvp-to-virtual-homebrew-website-club-meetup-on-july-25-2018%2F

    There's a different problem with XRay tho which is that it's using the lastest microformats parser which somehow doesn't see the "rsvp" or "in-reply-to" properties on this post.

    Where do you see that this was interpreted as an rsvp to you? There could be something wrong with how webmention.io is interpreting this XRay object.

    Interesting way to catch tip modifications by waiters. However, I am always surprised that in this age of digital everything, where even currency has gone digital, we are still forced to depend on scam-prone manual tip checking.

    Aaron Parecki
    It's really just the US's insistence on sticking to the existing model where you get your bill and then they take your card and bring you back the receipt. The much more sensible way to do it is to bring the credit card reader to the table which solves the problem, since in that case you get to see the final amount rung up on the machine.

    is there some good reason why recursive cp takes -R whereas recursive scp takes -r?

    So I guess the question is, if the checksum fails, how do you fight it? Contact the bank? The restaurant?
    Aaron Parecki
    If you want to be nice, you call the restaurant. If you want to just get your money back you file a dispute with the credit card and they usually resolve it without much hassle.

    I called the restaurant about my $5 tip that turned into $15 and they happily refunded the $10, and also sounded unsurprised about the whole situation. I'm guessing it was not the first time that happened.

    Servers hate tips that aren’t round numbers because it makes it REALLY hard to cash out at the end of the night.
    Aaron Parecki
    I thought the credit card machines make you enter the final total of the receipt when you cash out the stack of paper receipts at the end of the night. It's been a while since I've done that myself tho...
