You look like you need a photo of a cat lounging on a stack of Toshiba laptops from the 1990s

When I first started working with #ActivityPub, before #Fedify existed, it felt like writing web apps in Perl and CGI in the late '90s. Interesting, even exciting—but never comfortable. That era where your business logic and your protocol plumbing were just… the same thing:

print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "Hello, world!"

Decades of web development have given us layers of abstraction we now take for granted. Nobody hand-parses application/x-www-form-urlencoded query strings anymore. Nobody writes their own JSON codec, or manually constructs HTTP request/response messages. These things just aren't your problem when you're building an app.

ActivityPub development still feels like they are your problem. What do you do when the https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#actor property comes in as a string instead of an array? What about when https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#object is an embedded entity rather than a URI? How exactly do you implement HTTP Signatures? And wait—what's Linked Data Signatures, and do you need that too?

The real issue isn't that ActivityPub is complicated per se. It's that you can't get away with understanding it at a high level. You have to know it the way an implementor knows it—every edge case, every inconsistency in how different servers serialize JSON-LD, every signature scheme that exists in the wild. That's a lot to learn before you can even start thinking about your actual app. And when developers understandably cut corners on the protocol to focus on their product, it quietly becomes an interoperability problem for the whole ecosystem.

What I want ActivityPub development to feel like: you spend a day understanding the big picture, and then you just… build your app. That was the goal when I started Fedify, and honestly, we're not fully there yet. But it's where I want to get.

Dude, there were...
Bales of cocaine fallin' from low-flyin' planes. I don't know who done dropped 'em but I thank 'em just the same. (wrong song, but maybe a better song?)

I see more and more songs from when I was young getting classified as “throwback hits”. That kind of hurts.

I really don't like asking, but things are getting extremely tight for my wife and me while I continue pitching Enigma Heart to publishers and looking for a backup job at the same time. (Luck hasn't been so great on that front.) We're close to running out of savings, and rent and food are coming due.

If you can help, and you've got a few dollars to spare, it'd really help keep us afloat. Thanks! 🩷

Our robot runs on NixOS. Here is the problem it actually solves.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes reproducible builds, long-term support, and verifiable SBOMs a legal requirement.
Our CTRL-OS module runs NVIDIA Jetson on a stock Linux kernel with NixOS. We built a robot on top of it to test real-world integration.
Next: a Security Tracker for vulnerability exposure on Nix-based stacks.
We wrote up the full story on our blog:

One of the reasons to prefer mature software, and in particular mature *open source* software, is that finding and fixing bugs takes forever. Consider this problem, which took 2 years to diagnose even after discovery. I think we finally figured it out: https://github.com/twisted/twisted/issues/12120
