尚未理出頭緒的疑問之一:我挺喜歡藥師寺寬邦的音樂,但我對台灣的佛經詠唱整體上電波都對不太上,欣賞不來。

目前的猜測是和我聽音樂時的屬性主要是旋律派遠大於歌詞派有關 :blackcat_eyes:

Search engines have gotten so much worse. I keep trying to search for one simple thing in both DDG and, as a fallback, on Google, but I keep getting the exact opposite of what I'm searching for.

I've been doing this almost as long as the public internet has existed, I know I don't suck at finding things. It's just that search engines have gotten really, really bad.

Congratulations to @johnonolanJohn O'Nolan and the team at Ghost on their 12th birthday! Here's John's post reflecting on the idea behind the product, some of the incredible indie publishers who have adopted it (including @404mediaco404 Media, @caseynewton's Platformer, and @drownedinsoundSean | Drowned in Sound) and what's next.

APubでブロックリストが公開って、ブロックって別にエックスでも相手には隠されてないし困る人がそんなにいるんだろうか。
そもそも今SNSで一般に実装されるブロック機能ってものは相手が相互作用をすること自体を拒否するもので、必然的に相手に気付かれることになる。
副作用を望まないならミュートみたいに自分の見える範囲だけ変えようとすればいいだけで。

Today I learned there is a vaccine for the cancer that killed my mom in development. In a stage 1 trial, it cured the cancer for people with Stage III and IV cancer. That made me tear up for what might have been.

Then I learned that legislators in some states are trying to ban RNA vaccines (which this possible cure is) and I really cried.

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.

@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.

We are implementing the final version of RFC9421 (HTTP Signatures) in Mastodon, and would like to test this with other ActivityPub implementations.

Do you know of any AP implementations supporting both incoming (verification) and outgoing (signing) RFC9421 signatures, and if possible with support for the double-knocking mechanism as described in swicg.github.io/activitypub-ht (section 3.5)?
