Last Notes npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] yes! Kelowna is great. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Just a quick note for NodeBB admins to update to v4.14.4 as there was a regression identified for versions v4.12.0 to v4.14.3 where federation was broken between NodeBB and Mastodon instances with authorized fetch enabled. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] "hey bud, can I work in?" npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] that sucks! I hope something turns around for you š«¤ you'll be missed. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hi @[email protected] ā we're going live in 10 minutes :eyes: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] @[email protected] people were adept at writing PR speak before LLMs, they're just able to put even less effort into it now. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] thanks, and if I'm presenting (which is up to you I think!) do I have to buy a ticket to FOSSY too? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] I still don't understand which two days are FediCon? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] probably not, that instance is hosted on a potato server on purpose so I am incentivise to keep the code lean. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @AaronZockt this is now merged for v4.11.0 npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] hi! npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] yeah that's fair! On the other hand, I absolutely cannot make weekends. You win some you lose some, eh? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] that is a very good question, I'd also like to know, heh! npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @AaronZockt would a user toggle to "hide read notifications" work? So they don't show up at all in the UI? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] feel free to come post at activitypub.space instead. It's fully two-way federated and hosts lots of interesting ActivityPub discussions. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] might I suggest NodeBB? š
npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hey @AISS, what is the intended effect of logging in via Nostr? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian I have helpfully told the reporter that they should forward this very important vulnerability report to the administrators at evil.com. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian What, I don't even... npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] ooof! How did that happen? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian ... āļø welp, that mention didn't work lol. Looks like I mentioned the wrong user. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @Anthony. ah that makes sense, I'll have to take a look and see. The frontend isn't aware of whether a category is federated or not so this might take a little bit of effort. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hey @johnackerman, is this happening repeatedly to users, or just one-off sessions from before the upgrade? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] a Tombstone with a context makes sense, a replies collection is more of a grey area. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] I had no idea this existed, I have a good idea that likely qualifies. Time to apply for the next round..... npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] well, that's nice of you :blush: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] I'll be at the gym. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] if it's healed over then it's time to ditch the coverings, imo npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian So, auto belays. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] that's fair, and something we consider carefully. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] I would recommend NodeBB as it is a current generation, maintained forum softwar with a healthy plugin ecosystem and responsive developers (:raising_hand:) npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] would be interested in joining. NodeBB is a good alternative to group discussions that federates as well. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @zephyr99 once you git clone the repo, you can just execute git reset --hard 4.7.1 to manually go back to that specific version. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian https://webkit.org/blog/17660/introducing-css-grid-lanes/ npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @thisismissem fwiw NodeBB does support emoji reactions, just not federating them. There's a plugin for it. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian So @[email protected] , does your FEP capture the entirety of emoji reactions on the fediverse? :smile:[email protected] npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] is there an FEP for it :nerd_face: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hi @TomĆ”Å”-Nesrovnal-0, can you share any logs when you try to start NodeBB? I know you said that there is no error, but what happens when you try to run ./nodebb dev? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Did you know you needed this? Apparently so. It's been a long road. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @Kadir-Ay-0 not really, no. What are you trying to achieve with limiting the number of sessions? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @Konrad-Moskal yes, we're open to those updates to the OpenAPI spec. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @Konrad-Moskal okay, best of luck getting the schema to load :slightly_smiling_face: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian I asked ChatGPT for thoughts (because I literally have no idea what to say), and it theorized that openapi-generator-cli was pointed to the file topic_id.yaml directly. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hi @Konrad-Moskal, this is the docs entry for that route: https://docs.nodebb.org/api/read/#tag/topics/paths/~1api~1topic~1{topic_id}~1{slug}~1{post_index}/get npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] Piefed and Lemmy are link aggregators, but a couple of those next-gen forums (notably, @[email protected] ) have joined the fediverse.[email protected] npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] Vancouver again I assume? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] oooh interesting...!

npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] I sent a follow, it has gone unanswered (or more likely it received an answer it didn't understand). npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] nice job! Congratulations on the release š now you must maintain it for free forever. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] how does RFC9421 differ from Mastodon's existing support for HTTP Signatures? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian tl;dr ā you can now find remote categories and see your tracked/watched categories in /world. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] considering that these two FEPs have a decent amount of overlap I think there is enough justification for a merging. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Considering that the implementors of 2931 are closely aligned at this point, I am wondering whether there is enough of a reason for us to move towards a separate and distinct type for future proofing, instead of using OrderedCollection. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Within the context of threaded discussions, contexts (aka "topics", "posts", "threads", etc.) are associated with an audience (aka "forum", "category", "community", etc.).[email protected] also said in the other thread:[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Based on the replies received, it does sound like at present that if cross-posting is a consideration, it is something done locally, and not something that is explicitly declared when federating outward or retrieved via AP. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Happy Tuesday! npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] recently made a statement that got me thinking about our place in the open social web, and the direction it's going.[email protected] and @[email protected] re: SXSW npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] do you have any legitimate criticisms of long form content over ActivityPub, or is it just "vibes"? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Wanted to start a convo with @[email protected] from Ghost and @[email protected] from Discourse about AP resource discovery.[email protected] 's HTTP Discovery Task Force, a 308 is recommended there. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Yes, of course Peertube sends hashtags without the #, why would I expect otherwise? :laughing: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian We received word recently that one of our long-standing clients, NFC Ring, is planning to shut down their forum toward the end of the month. While this is normally a sad time, it's worth mentioning that NFC Ring has been hosting their forum with NodeBB for over ten years! They've been with us just about as long as our self-serve hosting service has been, along with all of our ups and downs over the years. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Hey @[email protected] , can I poke you about getting NodeBB on FediDB? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] but that's not what Elon Musk's supporters are expecting. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] can Mitra, Streams, and Hubzilla backfill from each other (full two-way backfill) or one-way at this time? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian A conversational context is what the ForumWG uses to describe what you might see as a reply tree or comment thread.

You could also object.hasOwnProperty('foo'), although that would be true if object.foo = null too :joy: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian a PR to Mastodon[email protected] I would hold off on that in favour of a PR to introduce context serving and consumption (a la 7888). There are still some issues to work through, but I intend to have it upstreamed (via @[email protected] ) once we settle on a semi-final implementation. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @ŠŠ°ŃŠŗ-ŠŠ°ŠŗŠ°ŃŠŗŠ¾Ń widget-essentials is packaged with NodeBB and is compatible. Its version is also pinned to the NodeBB version, so you do not need to update it. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian I discovered this week a little footgun if you happen to use this bit of syntactic sugar: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] the other side of the coin is that Mastodon simply doesn't get the replies to a conversation, which decreases the utility of following a category, no? npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @NodeHam For example, your last reply here has the permalink https://community.nodebb.org/post/103339 npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] that's true for Mastodon, but not for other servers with more of a community focused aspect, like NodeBB. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @panos brought up something interesting recently, which is that Lemmy communities don't boost everything (at least when viewed from Mastodon), but just the original post. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Agenda preparation for the February ForumWG meeting can be found at this public link (anyone can make comments for review.) npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @eeeee ah, that's fair, we should change the description for the Persona theme so it no longer says it's the default :flushed: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] good question! The answer ultimately lies in how you want to communicate with your audience. Each option is different and it's hard for you to know which software is the best fit. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian Lastly, there are so many others in the long-form text space who were not at FOSDEM, but are open and willing to work together![email protected] (PieFed), @[email protected] (Hubzilla), Mike MacGirvin (whose handle I forget at the moment) and so many more. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] let's all just give up and keep pressing this button npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] obv. yesssss join us npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian I should also mention that we had great conversations with the Mastodon team (hi @[email protected] and @[email protected] !), and their commitments to working towards better support for long-form text is evident. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @NodeHam said in Script kiddies need lives: npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @NodeHam yeah, I'm not sure. That's what's going to need looking into. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @NodeHam depends what needs to happen to increment the login counter. If they're just hitting the login endpoint it actually shouldn't count as a login... npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @NodeHam are they script kiddies? It looks like you have a huge number of login attempts. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @eeeee I believe LemmyBB was a proof-of-concept, to show that Lemmy as it existed back then was able to be represented in the front-end as a tradtional forum. npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @fdebc9e32a9acd78ca4144fe70553c92f1e09e50b9169ce74053de3550af925e@mostr.pub hello friend from nostr! npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @nhl.pl je ne pas parlez francais š¬ npub16lufy7a3rplgl0xsea9ga22d968ynrk0egajcnec8y4x4nzed8tsfz09mm julian @[email protected] good question!
