なにがしたいんだろうねほんと

にゃーん

the good thing about spending 6 months working on writing a zine about the terminal is that when I just saw this error message:

$ rm *
rm: illegal option -- b

I could just pause for 5 seconds, think "oh, right, I guess I have a file that starts with -b for some reason” and then just run "rm -- *"

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

• PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.

• Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.

• Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

• A follow-up on last week’s news regarding the Fosstodon server: the server administration will be taken over, with an update and introduction by the new admin here.

The Links

• A recommendation algorithm for PeerTube videos. It is a browser extension that records your PeerTube viewing history, and uses that to generate recommendations to watch.
• PieFed development updates for April.
• The fediverse statistics site FediDB is getting an update, and can now be self-hosted as well.
• Talking Protocols With Evan Prodromou – FediHost Podcast.
• How To Make Your Mastodon Feed More Algorithmic – FediHost Tutorial.
• Ghost now gives blog authors the ability to block users.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

[Google Research] Making complex text understandable: Minimally-lossy text simplification with Gemini

@julian I will need to ping @daveDavid Roetzel here as he is the one working on it, but yes we want to move away from cavage-12 and use the final RFC.

Our plan is to support validating RFC9421-final signatures in our next release, then do double-knocking (with RFC9421 first and a cache of what signature to use) in the following release.

@renchap@oisaur.com how does RFC9421 differ from Mastodon's existing support for HTTP Signatures?

Does this mean you're moving away from cavage-12? That's important to know, and if you're looking for an implementor to handle double-knocking, that is something I can put together for you.. we don't do it at current.

[GitHub] Dos and don’ts when sunsetting open source projects

Well done bimbo for spending this months remaining take-out budget on new jungle vinyls.

This was a good idea, that's what I keep telling myself.

Our team is growing, and I am very excited that there are now 2 developers focused on the Mastodon web interface, with a designer joining in a few weeks.

Brace yourselves for a lot of interface improvements in Mastodon this year 💅

Someone once asked if I contribute to OSS for followers or fame. I don’t.

Every OSS project I’ve released started because I needed it for something *I was working on*. I just don't like letting useful code rot on a disk (or lost it, it happened to my younger me!)

If it helps others, great, but most of it is pretty niche anyway. I don’t add features or fix bugs unless it matters to me too.

It might sound selfish, but it’s the only way I’ve found to keep OSS sustainable and enjoyable.
