@PhenomX6@ryo Now I'm wondering if ActivityPub works on bare IPs. I want to see @GigaChad@203.0.113.123 posting about the total destruction of TLDs and DNSes off his home IP.
As a means to motivate myself to work on it, here's my attempt at an Activity Pub server: https://a-puc.social/. There's a write up on the page about it, but the gist is that I wanted a front end that didn't bring my browser to a crawl and wasn't designed around the contemporary idea of "only the present matters." It's still very early on, so don't expect to be using it any time soon.
Also see @ne's active project: http://wormhole.nekobit.net/. We both had almost the same idea simultaneously, to make an Activity Pub server in C++. He'll probably finish his first though, so make sure to follow him.
@icedquinn It’s pretty easy on Linux. Git clone the code repo, download the model weights (you’ll need a hugging face account), set up the conda environment by following the README, and call the txt2img.py script. There’s a little more involved if you want to disable the watermark or NSFW filter, and you’ll need an Nvidia GPU with a bunch of VRAM to actually run the thing (I can barely run it with 8 GBs and that’s at half precision). I’m also pretty sure some people have made easier to setup forks, and I think someone has even made a Windows GUI program for it, too.
