The old school hacker crowd is so blind-rage anti-cryptocurrency they're letting pretty great novel things like Nostr and Farcaster fly under their radar. If they tried to mimic these designs you'd end up with worse cryptography (because all the new interesting stuff is mostly related to cryptocurrency) and would probably look like PGP + key servers. They'll make an excuse to put up with the status quo and live with it.
Both Nostr and Farcaster have weaknesses in their design but they do provide a good foundation for decentralized social media that could survive longer term without your content disappearing off the internet permanently. It's just a hard pill for some people to swallow because the design breaks from tradition.
I predict ActivityPub will exist in some form for a long time but there will be a lot of data lost over the years. It's already happening. -

@mint Oban release with that fix is merged now, but beware we have to require Elixir 1.14 as minimum supported release now -

@mint MariaDB is worse, and now that's dead because Monty sold it again to a venture capitalist lol
I think one of the most difficult parts of a community fork of Firefox will be the build infrastructure and hosting the binaries. Nobody's gonna want to support Firefox-sized downloads that happen millions of times per day. (200M users * ~50MB for a patch) -

@bara they'll never automate that job, that's for sure -

@mint so then I guess it's time for people to SFTU and write the code themselves and donate infrastructure hosting too. Because they're not gonna be happy with how things look if Mozilla completely disappears and the entire browser project falls apart. -

@mint if you aren't willing to fund their existence you have no right to complain about how they get their funding and what their product roadmap looks like.
Most outspoken open source proponents these days are just toxic personalities who beg, scream, and demand results and nobody should listen to their opinions on anything. They want to pretend these projects are akin to a government run social program that should serve their needs.
It's like crying about the local food bank closing and how that's going to impact your community. Oh wait you never donated to the food bank before? Huh, shocking. -

How many people complaining on social media about Mozilla have donated > $1000 to Mozilla?
Zero?
That's what I thought -

@mint @sun Yeah I just want ONE endpoint that uses custom HTTP response codes to indicate if your federation is in good standing, and it should be rate limited to like 1 check per 5 mins -

@aeris @sun @silverpill @mr64bit Then cache the response for when a user isn't logged in ... -

@aeris @sun @silverpill @mr64bit So cache it with a low TTL of like 30 seconds. Are people gonna notice if the page is 30 seconds too old? Then you do the work at max once every 30 seconds. I hope your Pi can handle that -

@aeris @sun @silverpill @mr64bit You should run such a service on a computer capable of handling a real world workload then I guess. You've done this to yourself. -

@aeris @sun @silverpill @mr64bit Does it require a user to login? No? It's cacheable. It's always cacheable. -

@aeris @sun @silverpill The link previews will be getting federated likely within a year by my estimation, so it won't cause that to hammer your blog anymore. -

@sun @aeris @silverpill @mr64bit Yes, indeed.
Just use a cache. You don't need a worldwide CDN and you don't need a full rack of servers. Just a simple cache to store the page in memory so it doesn't have to do any heavy work to respond to those requests. -

@aeris @silverpill this is the most honest description. It's not federated, it's brokered

@mint Pleroma still ships one (two actually lol but both projects use the same source)
If Android apps don't use the system store I guess it's an Android bug. Shouldn't be possible. AFAIK Apps can only use the system store on iOS. And it's easy to add your own CA to it -

I'm having an idea.
It has been observed that as soon as you get a cert from LetsEncrypt you get hit with some bots following the CT logs for new targets. Sometimes I have services that I want to be public but mostly I will be the only one accessing them, maybe a couple friends. So why not just self-sign and run my own CA for them? I've operated a private CA before this isn't rocket science or anything it just never seemed worth it.
Bonus: some bots, scrapers, and crawlers won't even bother you -

> Bluesky videos
> Every video is processed via Hive and Thorn to scan for content that requires a content warning or content that should be taken down (e.g. illegal material like CSAM).
This is why you will never be able to self-host Bluesky. They're going to enforce this. And it's illegal to give anyone access to Thorn. -

@mint @phnt so the docs being stale is mostly my fault as I did the grunt work for the VIPS change anyway. I'll just sit here and watch the Game of Thones shame.gif for a few mins as my penance
