@drewdevault not al all.

And what you're doing right now, I believe is called "baiting". I believe I was polite and have made my comments in good faith to your good intentions, but I will stop interacting if you start behaving like this.

@mfru

@drewdevault HN does not comprise all the spaces where "our" community can discuss things.

My personal opinion is that this discussion you should have had with the people on the FSF mailing lists, and, more importantly with Stallman himself.

Write to LWN, write to Heisse, write an open letter... I don't know.

And in all honesty I suspect you are not being entirely genuine when you imply that HN is a space for discussions about open source community.

@mfru

@drewdevault yes, HN is not the place to discuss the foibles of Stallman. (and an implication of "in my opinion")

@mfru

@kopper IDs represent the URL where the ActivityPub object can be found at. Some applications can serve a browser compatible object also (an HTML page, an image/audio/video, etc), but most don't.

The "remote URL of a thing" generally can be found in the "url" property of the ActivityPub representatoin of the thing. Some objects have a "href" property instead, but they should represent the canonical browser compatible URL.

@silverpill thank you for keep trying, but this past week I've been doing a lot of reshuffling of the internals. I'm not surprised some things still fail.

Could you send me a link to a pastebin with the Activity? I'll add a bug report.

@silverpill so I did find it in storage, but something went wrong when dispatching it to the proper inbox. I'll create a test-case from it to check what happened. TY!

@pid_eins partially related, is there any hope that the in kernel IPC mechanism that was attempted with kdbys/bus-1 will make a resurgence?

Somehow relying on D-BUS doesn't feel like a great security improvement over suid.

> Though I can't imagine how a client can determine what the user wants to view.

@youronlyone the client only knows about some type of content, and you as the user know what kind of content you want to see, therefore you select the proper client. If you want to see images, you use pixelfed, if you want to see short form text, you use pleroma/mastodon/firefish.

@youronlyone wouldn't having the same ActivityPub actor for all of those be preferable?

You could still access different client applications that show different content types, but the underlying user would be the same.

@silverpill if you could provide me with a verbatim request (including the sign header) I could try to see what's wrong. The strange part is that there's nothing in the logs for that specific period, not even at the http proxy level.

@silverpill federated.id doesn't accept follows automatically. It's in my inbox.

@marius

@silverpill I guess this one wasn't you. The time is different.

It means your follow didn't make it to my inbox. What client/service did you sent it from?

> Do you know any other Fediverse software that supports EC keys?

@silverpill no, not on the top of my head. I think everyone should support it at least on the basis of much smaller size though.

And, as always when it comes to interop, crickets from the Mastodon devs: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21429#issuecomment-1549405785

@silverpill yep. Another one of those small frictions with Mastodon, that doesn't support EC keys. :(

@silverpill I'm using the mechanism Mastodon popularized.

Basically BrutaLinks is just a (mostly) dumb client on top of a server that only serves ActivityPub objects (that one is called FedBOX). It however exposes access to the underlying objects using the <link rel="alternate"> metadata.

For people invested in the migration from #reddit. Here's some details about #BrutaLinks one of the projects I'm working on, which is a reddit-like discussion platform, built on top of #ActivityPub.

It didn't benefit from the attention and funding that lemmy got, so probably it's overall less polished and performant, but some love from the community would do it good.

@Gargron sorry to be a dick about it, but it's Mastodon that proliferated the behaviour of sending *public activities to all the instances that your users follow other people on. So it's entirely possible that at least one from the 10M users will be followed from every instance in the fediverse, therefore when someone posts, Meta's servers will federate with *everyone*.

@liaizon @chrismessina @tonyg @alexeheath

@erlend don't forget #brutalinks: https://brutalinks.tech

@christianselig @ivory @LemmyDev @ernest

@dansup with all due respect, but this looks a lot like negging, and it's a bit cringe.

Ultimately, you do you, but I would use the proper channels for this kind of message.

@evan if I can toot my own horn, there's the https://federated.id server that speaks ActivityPub client to server. It's a reference implementation of the libraries for Go that I'm developing at https://github.com/go-ap
