There are a couple of #ActivityPub projects that focus on providing the good tools that abstract away the complexities of wire-level network comms, and help free the hands of a solution developer to focus more directly on what people need, instead of on plumbing and Babylonian speech confusion of how things fit together. I try to emphasize these projects, e.g. @fedify by listing them higher in the https://delightful.coding.social curated lists.
But their challenge is to offer a kind of reverse to browser quirks mode. Web browsers can handle about any malformed HTML a person throws at it, and still manage to turn that into machine processable form, and make the most of it.
As a fedi toolkit builder you almost need to do the opposite. Focus on offering comprehensive and intuitive API's and functionality to solution developers, and translate it into wire chaos that constitutes the fediverse-protocol-of-the-day.
German Chancellor #Merz:
- Our appeal is first and foremost directed at Iran and its Mullah regime to end the war.
- The responsibility for this lies first and foremost with the regime in Tehran.
- We are not a party to the war against Iran and we have no intention of joining it.
As if I needed any more reason to despise this sack of shit, he comes up with something even more outrageous than before

Lots of good stuff here.
Yes, writing a complete beginner's guide is hard. It takes dedication and inspiration. Don't beat yourself over it. Some people can do it, some can't. If "intermediate" is your niche, go for it.
As to self-hosting: I completely agree it's not for everyone, and also it's not possible to do everything. On top of "one person can't know it all", there are financial and social costs for that. Sometimes it's better to just pay someone to do some of the stuff you need, just be mindful of how you select who you're paying to (and why).
@joynewacc That’s because you’re a wonderful human being, Joy.
The sad truth is that Gazans are far more likely to be the victims of fraud than the instigators of it.
As you know, in the time we’ve been running it we’ve had just two families misrepresent their situation to some degree in order to try and get more donations. And now this. Out of close to 130 or so families now.
Nabil’s extortion attempt, while not pleasant to say the least, is an anomality.
Here’s to putting it behind us and evolving Gaza Verified so it can do the most good with what little resources we have at hand :)

#Russia channels happily discussing their rocket attacks on gas and coal processing plants, plant producing high voltage isolators and new water filtering station in #Mikolaiv #Ukraine.
The first three had been already hit, for the last they are on one hand a bit envious (“we couldn’t build anything like that in Donetsk for 14 years”) and at the same time wondering what kind of bombs can be used to destroy it.
As a reminder, all of these targets are protected under articles 48 and 51 of the International Humanitarian Law as strictly civilian objects supporting basic survival infrastructure to the population.
Not that this ever discouraged Russians, who target civilian infrastructure since 2022, but this year Ukraine has means to retaliate. Happy winter to all residents of Russian #Belgorod, #Bryansk and #Rostov regions.
It's increasingly obvious that Russia funded and supported the Pro-Brexit and now Reform movements. And it worked. But we're not yet doing much to actually counter it.
As well as this we should be shining a light on Israeli and US influence on UK politics. It's non-trivial and damaging.
