#
aaronpk also there's always the neat trick of using 3/4 fake MX records that route to a server that doesn't respond, and spam servers will just stop trying but real mail goes and tries the other MX answers
#
pdurbin aaronpk: you sound not so sure ;)
#
aaronpk about SPF?
#
aaronpk actually yeah that is totally DNS only because I've had to update DNS settings to allow amazon SES to send mail from my domains
#
pdurbin that's better ;)
#
@peterjanes Wow, this is horrible (and still ongoing): http://www.rootsmusic.ca/sonicbids-fail-plus-tips-for-alternatives/ #music #fail #ownyourdata @shawnacaspi (twitter.com/_/status/423245103222640640)
#
tantek scrolls up and notices aaronpk's ping about rel values
#
tantek micropub_endpoint is ugly and stinks of user-unfriendly programmer naming thinking
#
aaronpk :) I've got my finger on the trigger, just say the word
#
tantek something XML people would come up with
#
aaronpk i think that is quite likely the case
#
tantek or worse, Java
#
tantek sees the email provider discussion
#
aaronparecki.com edited /micropub () "(-731) use rel="micropub"" (view diff)
#
tantek and wonders about /email
#
tantek aaronpk, note also rel="hub" is what PuSH uses. not "hub_endpoint" nor "push_hub_endpoint" or any other namespaced garbage
#
aaronpk wiki page updated and indieauth client updated
#
aaronpk that's a great example, thanks
#
bear \o/
#
bear for what it's worth, email is one of the few "just don't run your own" services even for me
#
bear dkim, spf, spam traps, greylisting… all just much nicer to spend $10 a month and let someone else deal with it
#
bear hmm, and it's not even $10 a month anymore
#
tantek bear - I noticed you added a bunch of good info to the /email page
#
bear yea, I was updating my server and in that groove… so wiki edits were at the top of my brain
#
tantek I'm a little confused though - How To Accept Inbound Email and As a server daemon as section headings seem more jargony than the flat structure we have going on on the /web_hosting page
#
tantek i.e. on web_hosting, we have: http://indiewebcamp.com/web_hosting#Services_by_Type
#
tantek and then a flat list of sections - which seems easier to browse
#
tantek any chance we can do something similar in /email ?
#
bear not sure what I would use to replace "As a server daemon" ...
paulcp joined the channel
#
bear but I get your point
#
tantek start with replacing "How To Accept Inbound Email" with "Email Services by Type" perhaps
#
tantek and then figure out how to reorganize everything below that into a flat series of sections
#
bear k
#
tantek "roughly ordered from easiest/cheapest/friendliest to most powerful/technical. "
#
tantek like even the equivalent of "Custom domain silos" would be "Custom domain email providers" and include things like * Gmail - which lets you set it up so it receives and sends as if it is your own domain
#
tantek etc.
#
bear yep, working on it now
#
tantek great
#
tantek the general idea of documenting the spectrum of ways to use your own domain for email is quite valuable to indieweb folks

#
bear.im edited /email (-13) "/* How To Accept Inbound Email */" (view diff)
#
bear quick edit to get what your suggesting into place
benprew joined the channel
#
tantek nice
#
pdurbin bear: hear hear on the don't run your own email thing
#
bear :)
#
aaronpk yeah I only run my own email server so I can quickly set up forwarding aliases and new domains, but everything funnels to my gmail account which is where I actually read everything
#
aaronpk I read the "how to set up postfix with virtual users and mysql and blah blah" uttorial on howtoforge once long ago and have been running that server ever since :)
#
bear I use mailroute -> postfix -> dovecot -> thunderbird
#
bear using mailroute makes setting up postfix *so* much nicer
#
tantek those kinds of notes could really help people out who are considering solutions
#
tantek do those fall into any of the existing categories in http://indiewebcamp.com/email#Email_Services_by_Type ?
#
jonnybarnes I'm just sticking with fastmail for the moment
#
bear I was just thinking about how to add the info to the wiki
#
jonnybarnes secure connections from all my devices
#
tantek e.g. for each "type" subsection, there should be a note about "IndieWeb community members using this approach: "
#
jonnybarnes only downside for me is no PGP support
#
tantek which will help illustrate which approaches are more real world than others
#
bear working on some additional info for the different mail types
#
bear including scenarios as an intro piece
#
tantek.com edited /email (+989) "/* Email Services by Type */ add Custom domain email providers as an initial subsection with example of gmail" (view diff)
#
tantek bear - just added the mail type I suggested - the equivalent of Tumblr, which is essentially what gmail is
#
tantek scenarios?
#
bear ah - I see what your were saying
#
tantek more important to just document *actual* types in use by indieweb folks
#
tantek rather than theoretical scenarios
#
bear yea, I was going down a rabbit hole
#
tantek jonnybarnes how does fastmail work? is it free?
#
tantek how do you configure it to use your personal domain for receiving/sending to/from?
#
tantek.com edited /email (+15) "/* Gmail */ main" (view diff)
#
tantek bear - yeah - avoid those theoretical rabbit holes - they're not really worth documenting because they're not what people care about when they're trying to set something up that works
#
bear.im edited /email (+177) "mailroute" (view diff)
#
jonnybarnes tantek: I think I can do what I do because I'm on a paid tier, you get a username@fastmail.fm account, which is itself free, and once you point you MX records to their servers for your domains, then you can set it up so that blob@domain.com goes to your fastmail.fm inbox.
#
jonnybarnes you can also reply to an email from any address you've configured
#
bear.im edited /email (+269) "adv/disadv entries" (view diff)
#
aaronpk oh! I remember now... I got the "authorization_endpoint" and "token_endpoint" names from OpenID Connect
vrypan_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0-21.html#ProviderMetadata
#
tantek so is fastmail freemium? is Mandrill?
#
tantek aaronpk - sheesh - is OpenID Connect even implemented/deployed by anyone? I was pretty sure it was a dead end.
#
bear fastmail has plans from $10 to $120
#
jonnybarnes.net edited /email (+200) "/* Custom domain email providers */ adding fastmail" (view diff)
#
aaronpk really? I thought it had more adoption than, say, OAuth 2.0 discovery drafts
#
tantek besides they can't even decide on their method for namespacing. e.g. openid.server with a "." for namespacing
#
tantek aaronpk - do we know ANYONE that uses an OpenID Connect ID?
#
bear OpenID is going to suffer a big drop in usage once MyOpenID closes down
#
aaronpk yeah, google is doing it https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login
#
tantek aaronpk - Google is not a person
#
aaronpk openid connect is really an identity layer on top of oauth, which is what everyone wanted oauth to be anyway
#
aaronpk I mean I'll make stuff up all day long, I just figured it'd be better to base this off of current implementations
#
tantek Google implements/deploys all kinds of crap that never gets any actual adoption. Or sees a brief spike and then gets neglected and shut down.
#
tantek implementations without actual users are worthless
#
tantek well, *nearly* worthless
#
tantek I suppose they can work as proof of concept prototypes
#
aaronpk http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10488973/openid-connect-providers
#
bear.im edited /email (+292) "fastmail details" (view diff)
#
tantek providers != users
#
aaronpk well there can't be any users until there are providers
#
tantek provider - singular
#
tantek so there's over a dozen listed there - anybody (any humans) using any of them ever?
#
aaronpk I can't find any examples
#
tantek right - so until otherwise proven, all of those providers fail the selfdogfood test
#
aaronpk all I was pointing out is where I got the names "authorization_endpoint" and "token_endpoint". I didn't have any other better ideas for the names anyway.
#
tantek yeah totally!
#
bear.im edited /email (+182) "add Pobox" (view diff)
#
jonnybarnes thanks bear for the email edit
#
bear yw
#
tantek aaronpk - I guess I was questioning the naming abilities of folks who evangelize/deploy providers without pointing any actual users, especially the folks working on the providers themselves.
#
bear groking now what t meant - having the more common (and useful) email examples up top makes more sense
#
aaronpk ah
#
aaronpk I am actually much happer with the rel=micropub name, that makes a lot of sense
#
aaronpk I don't see any real issues with "token_endpoint", since it's pretty descriptive of what it is, and "token" doesn't really cut it.
#
jonnybarnes my country makes me proud at times http://i.imgur.com/wd3NbJk.jpg
#
tantek oh dear what happened there
#
jonnybarnes the bus was redirected due to an accident or something
#
jonnybarnes and the new route had a bridge that was too low
#
bear ouch
#
tantek ouch++
#
Loqi ouch has 1 karma
#
tantek lol
#
jonnybarnes what I love most is theres a sign on the bridge as well http://goo.gl/maps/kojy7

JonathanNeal Is there ARIA role or similar attribute that identifies a link as being to the current page, like one would find in a navigation menu?
#
snarfed u-url?
#
snarfed JonathanNeal: http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry
#
snarfed depends on whether you're producing or consuming though. mf2 isn't exactly widely adopted yet
#
JonathanNeal snarfed: that's a clever solution.
#
snarfed really? i don't know about clever so much as it's just the spec :P
#
snarfed but thanks!
#
JonathanNeal Well, I hadn't considered bringing microformats into the picture.
#
JonathanNeal I never think of microformats when it comes to things like navigations or articles.

aaronpk can I install it on a computer here? or do I need a mozilla account?

tantek that's a good question or two
#
tantek finds https://wiki.mozilla.org/Vidyo
#
aaronpk "However, non-employees can take part in such meetings using a guest URL"
#
tantek this sounds interesting
#
tantek I wonder if the Vidyo client is free?
#
aaronpk it might prompt me to download it if you send me a meeting URL
#
tantek is investigating.
