Is there any good random image generator for Node.js? I'm gonna need a bunch of media files to load test something.

This transfer is going at like 43 MB/s over peer to peer, and I'm wondering why it's not faster? Both have SSDs and Gb/s wifi.. and the router is in the same room

Is there a IPFS <-> S3 bridge? I feel like there must be?

Is there any #ActivityPub software that allows instances to be at different pathnames, instead of different hostname / port combinations?

Like:

https://social.example/foo => one instance

https://social.example/bar => a totally different instance

As far as I know no, but I'm looking at the spec, and I'm not sure there's anything in there about this?

Was really impressed by what I saw from Tall Poppy and the resources they provided for keeping moderators and administrators of fediverse servers safe!

If you want to learn more about this, see @iftas's posts!

Just landed two changes to Mastodon, particularly around Web Push Subscriptions:

• https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30542
• https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30540

We'll now throw errors when doing POST /api/v1/push/subscription if the endpoint is an invalid URL, or if the keys values can't be used to encrypt a message.

That prevents you from registering a push subscription that just wouldn't work. We previously lacked input validation here.

There's so much fear in the fediverse about bad admins/mods, and honestly it's no different to the days where we had forums with bad admins/mods.

The problem is that largely for the past decade people have been in walled gardens either never thinking of moderation, or actively needing to work against moderation to exist.

And you didn't have a choice, because you were locked into that provider & their moderation policies.

The thing that stands out for me in Trump's interview with Fox & Friends on the weekend (seeing bits via Colbert), is that he never answers a question directly, it's always a dodge & miss.

Even something like "what's your relationship with God" is met with "well evangelicals love me" — that says nothing about that question

Let's all watch Musk learn about Section 2257 and just how much that'll fuck him up, and also about all the age verification laws around the globe..

I've just heard that the Mastodon team are releasing 4.2.9 with this backported.

So once your server has upgraded to 4.2.9 you'll be able to use all your favourite OAuth applications without having them break.

If you've ever tried to implement an OAuth Application for Mastodon, and butted into the “unknown client_id / application” error, where the Mastodon server has silently deleted your OAuth Application….

I have good news for you:We've removed the OAuth Application Vacuuming from Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30316

🎉

Does anyone know if OIDC based publishing (not just provenance) is coming to npm?

i.e., so I don't need a NPM_TOKEN from CI based publishing which has a IDC ID Token provider, much like the new Rubygems' Trusted Publishing setup.

@ivory for some reason my theme randomly changes from the pink I've set it to, back to red (default), any ideas why?

Have been heavily working with Adonis.js for the past two weeks & pretty thoroughly enjoying it.

Some stuff is a little idiosyncratic to me, but overall I'm able to move really fast with it.

What's the comparative statement in your industry to: “that's great, but can you hang a door?”

I feel like in web development it's: “that's great, but can you center a div?”

Good gosh, my internet has been a crawl today, when I'm meant to have up to 250mb/s I'm only seeing maybe 140mb/s, and LOTS of connection resets.

And let me tell you, this makes working with terraform extremely painful.

So y'all know I'm currently working on CSAM detection for IFTAS, right?

So as part of that, I need access to various third-party stuff like Thorn's Safer test matching content and the PhotoDNA libraries.

The other day we needed to transfer one of these libraries within the team, and a service provider flagged our account as containing potential CSAM.

Now, there's absolutely not CSAM in the file we transferred, but there are test images that will have their hashes in hashsets for testing.

Ah, fuck.. looks like I need to spend €4000+ on a brand new Apple laptop.. because the keyboard on mine has started to completely fail, and I'm having other weird issues (mine's 7 years old)

Here's to unexpected expenses…

I could really do with a lot of support right now: https://support.thisismissem.social
