   I often struggle with working on non-trivial, long standing projects because when I sit down to do the work after some hiatus, I can't seem to find the pain points I wanted to fix quickly enough.

   It feels like trying to get a bandaid off when you can't find an edge where it comes unstuck easily enough.

   The largest piece of bandaid that I wasn't able to get unstuck from the ActivityPub adjacent work is getting the HTTP-signatures working well with the rest of the fediverse (by which I mean Mastodon).

   Today I might have got the corner of another little bit of bandaid unstuck which hopefully will help in the long run.

     @BeAware I have not gone over the details, but to the best of my knowledge Authorized Fetch is just the name Mastodon uses for a similar mechanism to what I'm doing in FedBOX. In their case I think they don't allow any C2S get request on collections if they're not authorized, in mine I just filter out non Public activities/objects.

     But, I'm pretty sure that my work on having the collections filtered based on recipients predates Mastodon's by quite some time. :P

     @BeAware in fairness I don't think I advertised the feature anywhere where the Mastodon devs might have looked.

     I didn't create a FEP for it sadly.

     @BeAware I know, I know... I have two or three issues that they have been ignoring for over three years. :)
