hi frogzone hear! im still alive

i realise everyone has probably forgotten me and with think, who is this spammer, but after 9 months without fediverse, I figured that i better login to explain myself.

Basically near the start of the year two things happened at the same time to make it impossible to access fedi. Anyway Im enabling #javascript in a browser now to tell you this but i NEVER enable javascript in this browser normally and will probably disable it again, hopefully not for 9 months but this #distrohop is a BIG one, more like a distro-leap! @nimda it would really help if the #BloatFE interface was available over #i2p. @silverpil is there anyway to force a non-js experience, using a specific uri combo? FYI ive been recommending #mitra more in the meatspace lately, so heads up you may be getting more traffic??? or not.... lol

@gabriel i LOVED ur interview on #corbettReport, it is disconcerting to see his non-acknowledgment of your interest in #fediverse. He has known about fedi for a long time and probably should have known better than to pump S.S. (i mean sCRubstack), anyway sorry to hear u were set upon by S.S. drones. I've been meaning to inform u that your libresolutionsnetork.i2p site is broken, it redirects to gabe.i2p, so i may be missing out on insights. i was enjoying your updates on ur health drive but havnt been able to keep upto date lately.

The recent #openSource orgs sign onto the #unitedNations pact is super creepy. The last clause, ie. to do the bidding of the United Nations makes me a bit squeemish, just because we all saw covid, right? Even the other clauses about "diversity and inclusion" a nasty, and seem to require developers identify themselves, meaning no more anonymous contributions? i expect better from the #libreoffice folks that to sign onto something like this (i already knew #gnome were heading down a nasty path by their locked-down communication channels). My feeling is this is a result of the engineered #inflation ( #covid / #nft / #moneylaundering) crises means people are grasping at straws to maintain their income and status, forcing developers to accept ridiculous contracts. i dont know. Maybe im talking out a nether orifice. If i hear that everyone is plotting forks of LibreOffice and GNOME, it wouldnt surprise me.

I'm also interested in what appears to be the lawfare-based extortion of archive.org, not able to research it lately. I bet a billion bitcoins (that will never exist, because bitcoin is capped at 21 million) that #archiveDotOrg no longer accept #bitcoin donations. AMIRIGHT? (i dunno again I might be wrong, i literally have not checked, lol but seriously they are partnering with the US government to be a repo of govt documents??? now???)

The word of the day is '#SUSPECT'

... and remember everyone, #iran is to blame for ALL OF IT. including of cause the genocide that almost everyone on fedi knew was a #genocide almost 2 years ago. Why would it take 2 years for people on corporate media pratforms to work this out.... INSERT THINKING EMOJI

anyway there is so much to talk about and i will not be able to do it now. and will not be checking messages, because my connection is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad now. and i'll be here forever and die. so this is just a i'm still alive, just working thru technical coincidental problems.

love you all, and hopefully i can be online proper, in the near future.

Optique 0.3.0: Dependent options and flexible composition

洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) @hongminhee@hackers.pub

Optique 0.3.0 introduces several enhancements aimed at simplifying the development of complex CLI applications. This release focuses on expanding parser flexibility and refining the help system, incorporating valuable community feedback. Key updates include the introduction of required Boolean flags using the new `flag()` parser, more flexible type defaults in `withDefault()` to support union types, and an extended `or()` capacity that now supports up to 10 parsers. The `merge()` combinator has also been enhanced to work with any object-producing parser, and context-aware help is now available through the `longestMatch()` combinator. Additionally, version display support has been added to both `@optique/core` and `@optique/run`, along with structured output functions for consistent terminal formatting. These improvements collectively provide developers with more powerful tools for building intuitive and feature-rich command-line interfaces.

BotKit by Fedify :botkit: @botkit@hollo.social
Public

We're excited to announce the release of BotKit 0.3.0! This release marks a significant milestone as now supports .js alongside , making it accessible to a wider audience. The minimum required Node.js version is 22.0.0. This dual-runtime support means you can now choose your preferred runtime while building with the same powerful BotKit APIs.

One of the most requested features has landed: poll support! You can now create interactive polls in your messages, allowing followers to vote on questions with single or multiple-choice options. Polls are represented as ActivityPub Question objects with proper expiration times, and your bot can react to votes through the new onVote event handler. This feature enhances engagement possibilities and brings BotKit to feature parity with major platforms like Mastodon and Misskey.

// Create a poll with multiple choices
await session.publish(text`What's your favorite programming language?`, {
  class: Question,
  poll: {
    multiple: true,  // Allow multiple selections
    options: ["JavaScript", "TypeScript", "Python", "Rust"],
    endTime: Temporal.Now.instant().add({ hours: 24 }),
  },
});

// Handle votes
bot.onVote = async (session, vote) => {
  console.log(`${vote.actor} voted for "${vote.option}"`);
};

The web frontend has been enhanced with a new followers page, thanks to the contribution from Hyeonseo Kim (@gaebalgom개발곰)! The /followers route now displays a paginated list of your bot's followers, and the follower count on the main profile page is now clickable, providing better visibility into your bot's audience. This improvement makes the web interface more complete and user-friendly.

For developers looking for alternative storage backends, we've introduced the SqliteRepository through the new @fedify/botkit-sqlite package. This provides a production-ready SQLite-based storage solution with ACID compliance, write-ahead logging (WAL) for optimal performance, and proper indexing. Additionally, the new @fedify/botkit/repository module offers MemoryCachedRepository for adding an in-memory cache layer on top of any repository implementation, improving read performance for frequently accessed data.

This release also includes an important security update: we've upgraded to 1.8.8, ensuring your bots stay secure and compatible with the latest ActivityPub standards. The repository pattern has been expanded with new interfaces and types like RepositoryGetMessagesOptions, RepositoryGetFollowersOptions, and proper support for polls storage through the KvStoreRepositoryPrefixes.polls option, providing more flexibility for custom implementations.

Released on August 28, 2025. BotKit now supports Node.js alongside of Deno. The minimum required version of Node.js is 22.0.0. @fedify/botkit BotKit now supports publishing polls. [#7, #8] A...

The new integrated Markdown parser I’ve been implementing in Kitten has been kicking my ass for the past few weeks but I think I finally have it fully working and seamlessly so. Expect a new release this/next week that brings the parsing of Markdown pages (.page.md files) in your apps up to the standard of the recently-improved runtime Markdown parsing in Kitten HTML tagged-template strings (within `<markdown>…</markdown>` blocks).

The coolest thing is I was able to implement this without introducing any new syntax. In fact, I was able to simplify things so that you can now add arbitrary JavaScript to your Markdown pages within a multi-line script block in the YAML front matter (`script: |`) and use JavaScript string interpolation syntax in your Markdown (and, of course, Kitten components and conditionals, which, themselves, rely on string interpolation).

The only place where you have to deviate from standard Markdown in your Markdown pages is if you have JavaScript string interpolations or Kitten components/conditionals in code fences within your Markdown. In that case, you’ll have to escape them (e.g., `<\${Component} />`, `\<if \${something}>something\</if>`, etc.). And, to be fair, the person most impacted by this is likely me as the Kitten documentation at kitten.small-web.org is written in Kitten so I had a lot of escaping to do. But for any other use case, it means that things should just work and work exactly as they do in JavaScript pages (page.js files).

Anyway, so this is going to be a breaking change so I thought I’d give you (the three of you playing with Kitten right now?) a heads up. Of course, I’ll be updating the documentation to reflect all this.

(Remember, Kitten is in pre-release and it’s the framework I’m building/using to create Catalyst – the Small Web hosting solution – and Yarn – a small web – peer to peer – personal site app. So Kitten isn’t the means, not the end. And, at least until the Version 1 API freeze, things can and will break. That said, there’s nothing stopping you from playing with it now and, to be fair, at this point, such breaking changes should become rarer and rarer).

Hi! I'm Jeff. :blobcatwave:

I've been a software engineer since around 1999 I guess. I started with back in the early days of applets, DHTML, and Flash. I've since moved on to work on just about anything that has a compiler or an interpreter. I've even recently dabbled in design and .

My software specialties are in high performance computing , , and . Although I usually enjoy any programming problem with a good challenge to it. I spent waaay too much time in school and got all the degrees in computer science. I still work in part-time writing research software.

My favorite programming languages at the moment are and . Although, I've spent a lot of time writing lately. With the right tooling it's not completely terrible.

More recently, I've been interested in online , , and .
