#push [[flancia meet 2022-10-29]]

• Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[handlerug]] [[flancian]]
• [[bouncepaw]] Crazy week, lots of social activity, but nice
  • [[merveilles migration]]
    • https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/merveille
  • https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw
  • will try the migration flow tonight
  • user information is updated daily ([[handlerug]] read the code); now a new user has been fetched, you need to wait ~1d for it to be refetched
  • TLDR: set up redirection first, then make the last post on the old profile (in future migrations)
  • pronounced close to [[mahr vei]]
• [[flancian]] [[agora chapter]] is current focus for this weekend
  • also [[social coop]] admin / on call
  • broken registration flow because of spam trap
  • https://social.coop/about
  • [[spam trap]] was triggering
    • hidden field, supposed to be left empty
    • but the field was named ‘surname’
    • so autocomplete engines were triggering and filling it in, thus making it trigger for normal users
• [[in the arcades]] is a good [[hypertext]] book
• [[planning]] the weekend :)
  • [[bouncepaw]]
    • assignments
      • calculus: Gotta prepare for the pseudo-exam, don’t wannaaaaa
      • creativity: I don’t like the assignment, might ignore it
        • enough credits

    • two feature requests
      • [[interwiki]] support in anagora.org
        • -> hopefully by mid November
        • [[bouncepaw]] [[jonny]] tried using the colon syntax with the bot at some point
          • https://social.coop/@jonny/109135233389666304 pull
          • https://lor.sh/web/@jonny@social.coop/109135233647883067
          • meta: is there full text search in mastodon?
          • none that we’ve found to work widely, would be interested in finding one or solving this
      • write a long form answer to [[bouncepaw]]‘s great questions about the future that were asked in private messages :)
    • [[agora ux improvements]]
      • I have a laundry list of small improvements to the UI that I hope to start going through
    • [[agora bot]] has some bugs
      • might fix them? like hashtag handling
      • then try to move to writing through api.anagora.org
  • [[handlerug]]
    • #push [[ragamuffin]] is an [[activity pub]] gateway
      • [[golang]]
        • [[harelang]] wouldn’t work for that
      • [[bouncepaw]] came up with the name!
      • something like [[GoToSocial]]? https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/
      • trying to defrag identity in the fediverse
      • [[solid]] related? ([[tim berners lee]]‘s project)
      • consists of an identity server (OAuth2 and ActivityPub provider) and multiple frontends
      • [[indieweb]] related? initially meant to be a microblogging server
      • could be an identity provider for anagora.org
      • related: https://microblog.pub
      • [[webfinger]]: https://indieweb.org/WebFinger
• [[html]] tag <details>
  • good for UI!
• [[handlerug]]
  • in maybe temporary location, liking [[Istanbul]]
  • many friends are attending university back in Russia and that should be safe for them; drafting is very rare for university students
  • IT workers do get drafted often (in 2022) but it doesn’t usually happen with students
• [[flancian]] know first and second-order Russian friends in Turkey, Israel

#push [[flancia meet 2022-09-24]]

• Attending: [[bouncepaw]] [[flancian]]
• [[computer typesetting]] course
  • [[Microsoft Word]]
  • [[latex]] ~ [[LaTeX]]
• [[planning]]
  • [[agora bridge]]
    • -> fix twitter bot, refactor (ideally with code sharing between [[mastodon]] and [[twitter]])
    • -> bring up one API method, likely to write to a node (so agora server ui can write through the api)
  • [[agora server]]
    • [[canonical nodes]] -> move to + / urlencoded across the board (would like to discuss)
    • fix bug with wikipedia [[autopull]] (do not pull if the user has pulled already, I knew this didn’t work but I coded it lazily anyway)
  • [[agora]]
    • update [[hypatia]] (agor.ai)
    • bring up another Agora (which one? shamanic? but I don’t have repositories for that from the group yet? zero precedent maybe, or [[ogm]] as there’s [[Jerry’s Brain]])
  • [[stoa]]
    • oauth for hedgedoc?
    • I sometimes miss the simplicity of [[etherpad]] (also thinking of Microsoft Word / [[WYSIWYG]])
      • There was supposed to be a plugin (or fork?) of [[etherpad]] supporting [[wikilinks]] but I never found it.
• [[slugging]]
  • ‘Hello World!’ -> ‘hello-world’
  • s/[ !?^]+/-/g
  • [[Flancia meet]] is https://anagora.org/flancia-meet
  • I liked this a lot when starting, made things easier. The advantages are:
    • mapping between web apps
    • there is 1:1 mapping between Agora nodes and HedgeDoc, because HedgeDoc uses slugs
    • same with Jitsi Meet, flancia-meet works as well
  • Disadvantages are:
    • information loss, it is lossy by design
    • for example: [[free, fair and alive: the insurgent power of the commons]] -> [[free-fair-and-alive-the-insurgent-power-of-the-commons]]
  • Alternative: urlencoding
    • %20 and such
    • cons:
      • in a non latin script (like cyrillic)
    • pros:
      • https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987 / IRIs
  • Alternative: remain with slugs for most URLs, but preserve full query information in a query parameter
    • /free-fair-and-alive?q="Free, Fair and Alive"
    • [[agora search]]
      • you want a GET method -> /search?q=what%20you%20want
      • redirects to the above
    • [[go/whatever you want here]]
      • -> anagora.org/whatever-you-want-here?q=whatever%20you%20want%20here
  • Are [[IRIs]] not working in browsers? they seem to mostly work nowadays?
  • input: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница
  • output:
    • [[firefox]] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0
    • [[chromium]] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0
      • https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=405823 says they implemented IRIs
    • [[safari]], [[opera]] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница
  • [[IRIs]]: why are they not more widely supported?
  • urllib.parse.quote_plus(s):
    • https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html
    • ‘hello world’ -> ‘hello+world’
  • [[punycode]]
    • ü -> tda (transliterated as ue)
    • α -> mxa (alpha? alf?)
    • ‘To prevent hyphens in non-international domain names from triggering a Punycode decoding, the string xn— is prepended to Punycode sequences in internationalized domain names. This is called ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding). Thus the domain name "bücher.tld" would be represented in ASCII as "xn—bcher-kva.tld"’.
• Syntax ambiguities:
  • @syntax
  • URLs
    • [[https://example.com/somewhere else]]
    • https://example.com/somewhere else
  • [[go/somewhere else]] same thing
  • with urlencoded canonical nodes, [[https://example.com/somewhere else]] -> [[https://example.com/somewhere else]]
  • https://anagora.org/https://example.com/somewhere-else <- broken lib
  • if we urlencoded, that would be: https://anagora.org/https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsomewhere+else — which still doesn’t work, although I’m surprised about it
• [[x/y]] in [[mycorrhiza]] and [[agora]] behaves very differently
  • but it seems like we could easily make them compatible
• [[infinitely nested hyphae]]
  • a cool idea
    • filaments in [[mycelium]]
  • [[sibling hyphae]]
    • implemented in the sidebar
    • design mistake (maybe, in hindsight)
    • this encouraged a certain user behaviour, where top level hyphae are category-like
    • taxonomy / folksonomy
    • the platonic problem of ontology
    • [[banana]]: a [[tree]] and a [[fruit]]. where does it go?
    • This happens:
      • We have a hypha called ‘keyboard/microsoft ergonomic 4000’
      • Then we link it: [[keyboard/microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
      • We don’t like how it looks in the resulting text, so we change the displayed text:
      • [[microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
      • you mean: [[microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
      • you could say: [[microsoft ergonomic 4000]] ~ [[keyboard/microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
    • in the Agora you could write [[microsoft ergonomic 4000]] and because the node view is actually always a collection / search results list (in a way), you would get [[keyboard/microsoft ergonomic 4000]]
    • [[1]], [[2]], [[3]]
    • new model (talking about events that are 6 months old or so) in mycorrhiza is more graph like
• [[strugatsky brothers]]
• https://melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/quadrat_48
• https://github.com/bouncepaw/mycorrhiza/blob/master/static/shortcuts.js
• https://github.com/madrobby/zepto [[zepto]] is a drop-in replacement for [[jquery]]

  • "la conclusión lógica del individualismo es el marxismo"
  • [[marx]] sobre [[max stirner]]
    • [[individualism]] vs [[socialism]], a fake dichotomy?
    • [[anarcho capitalism]] vs [[anarcho socialism]], something to explore?
    • [[node club]] on [[utopian socialism]] and the above?
  • [[j0lms]] background
    • grew up with an anti-marxist skew due to family influences
    • first read [[marx]] as a kind of anti-bible (hiding), discovered something completely unexpected
• [[flancian]]
  • I am a bit self promotional
  • [[node club]] (as per the above)
    • [[utopian socialism]]
      • [[j0lms]] interesting! to explore: how does this fit into the controversy between [[anarchism]] and [[marxism]]
      • the notion of [[utopia]] is intertwined with the abolition of the [[state]] (we might not be able to abolish the state without going through utopian thinking)

          • controversial argument:
            • 1. totalitarianism doesn’t exist
            • 2. if it existed, tech corporations would be the most successful totalitarian entities in the history of human kind.

      • [[flancian]] you are right, thank you! we need to finish the ‘add repository’ automatic flow first.
    • [[opt in writes]]
      • 1. write message to file per user (user == directory)
      • 2. async process keeps git repository in that directory up to date
      • 3. async process mirrors git repository to git.anagora.org
      • 4. [[gitea]] elsewhere (podman in hypatia) mirrors git.anagora.org

  • [[flancian]] how many [[mycorrhiza]] instances are there out there?
    • [[bouncepaw]] would estimate ~tens of instances

  • [[javascript]] is kept minimal and optional in [[mycorrhiza]]
• [[vera]]

      • [[vera]] [[affinity groups]]
    • [[protopian]] they seem interested in solving coordination problems
• [[j0lms]] interested on opinions on this article: https://www.otherlife.co/pkm/
  • this reads antagonistic at once, but in the end it could be an argument for the agora
  • the tldr: [[pkm]] is a fad, actually has a great componet of [[status signaling]]
    • but the Agora hijacks this self-interested pursuit for a pro social goal
    • [[j0lms]] note that this aspect (towards collaboration) is what sold me on the agora
  • [[j0lms]] justin seems to think that intellectuals belong to a different class (paraphrasing)
