Blast from the past For years I've had

2022-11-23 00:15:03.537805+01 by Dan Lyke 5 comments

Blast from the past! For years I've had an "if anyone uses webmentions, contact me" on my web page, and someone just did. And the code still works. A little susceptible to spam, but daaang.

And as I looked through the code to try to figure out what this was all about, I'm starting to think okay, maybe ActivityPub after all.

Now I just need to finish webmention on my end.

I'm not sure if this is a bug on your end or not, but if I'm not logged in, I don't see the webmentions (for instance, using curl). But if I am, I do see them (say, using Firefix).

Interesting. I probably did something silly like wrapped them in the block that shows the comments or something... I'll try to dig into that.

I just tried, Lynx is giving me the webmentions. curl is giving me a certificate error that I do not understand (it's claiming an expired certificate, Certbot assures me it's valid to February of next year), so I had to use -k, but that's showing me the webmentions too.

Huh ... it's showing up now. Perhaps it was an ID10T error, or perhaps a PEPKAC error.

Format with:

(You should probably use "Text" mode: URLs will be mostly recognized and linked, _underscore quoted_ text is looked up in a glossary, _underscore quoted_ (http://xyz.pdq) becomes a link, without the link in the parenthesis it becomes a <cite> tag. All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer.
