@dansup huh? What am I going to link to for fediverse network stats now?

Website with more details and all the documentation: https://smithereen.software

Demo server to try it out: https://try.smithereen.software

I did it. #Smithereen 1.0 is officially out now. Only took me 6.5 years from an idea to something I can proudly call a stable release.

@nikitonsky да ладно, ты такой?

Today I learned about "avoidant attachment style"...

@dansup ask the mstdn.ca admin about that, he thinks him blocking countries is noble or something

@dansup also there's Russia where a third of the internet is blocked by the government, another third blocks Russian IPs from their side, and only the remaining part is freely accessible without any circumvention. Some servers also want signed GET requests. All this, again, makes it preferable to have a single server which acts as your gateway to the fediverse.

@dansup well you can have an email-like inbox that just shows you activities your actor has received. For a proper UX you would need a c2s client that would turn these into something more meaningful. That's what I meant by a minimal server.

@dansup c2s is simply impractical, too. Both on the client and on the server.

On the server, you have to merge two disparate streams (feed and notifications) into one inbox.

On the client, you have to split them back apart. You also have to load a lot of non-optimized stuff from different servers. You just have to make lots of requests to do simple things, and now imagine all that on 2G.

I can imagine a "minimal" server that implements c2s but almost no UX of its own though.

Which one is better?

@gosha yeah obviously, the thing is that these lines are already present in the default config, and your website already does work over plaintext http, but certbot wants them specifically in that particular file

@dansup thank you!

@reflex @dansup it's entirely new, I wrote it from scratch in Java

@dansup it's perfectly fine to share new information when you have it, of course, as often as you'd like, if it's genuinely something new. But these kinds of posts aren't that.

@dansup here's the post I was talking about
https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/107381032540863433

@dansup I searched both Discord and Mastodon DMs but I can't find where you sent that link to me 🤔

@dansup > I suggested he apply for the Mastodon Android dev role

Sorry but that's not how I remember it.

Eugen posted that he's looking for an Android developer. I half-jokingly replied that I'm an Android developer in my past life, actually. He asked me to email him. We talked for a bit and he hired me.

@dansup well, Smithereen 1.0 is ready. The website is ready. I'm going to launch a demo server in a few days, so anyone who wants to try it, could try it with a temporary account and limited federation. Then I'm going to post about it on HN and maybe on ProductHunt. We'll see how that works out.

We just do things differently. I rarely promise anything. I ship first and talk second.

@dansup why would anyone have a problem with someone posting the same thing over and over and over again every few days, indeed

@dansup but you just keep saying the same things over and over again with slightly different words, what's the point? 🤔
