Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it’s not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It’d be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.

Is there such a thing as an application that attempts to talk with the various ActivityPub-implementing tools using their own implementation of ActivityPub?...
So, I need to monitor a fairly large nested directory tree for changes on Linux. It seems like there are a few different watcher modules that I could use – fsnotify and notify being the main ones, both of which use the inotify interface and attempt to set watches on each individual subdirectory and maintain all their watchers...
