So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

So I managed to add to a static website I just put together. I will be modifying it so I use the same code on my personal blog too.

Basically it supports followers, and when a new page is added (like a news entry, or a new project) then if your following the website it will show as a status in your feed.

Even cooler, if you comment or like the status from here you will see that comment and status on the website. Yes I can block people if they abuse this, as well as servers.

Check it out by following @flear which represents https://flear.org

Its a very early beta, so the look of the site will still be heavily modified and I will add some more support soon. But this covers all the basics needs.

We need everything from jr to sr, data scientist to programmer. If your IT and your good, you might be a fit.

I will personally be both your direct boss, and hiring manager. I am also the founder and inventor.

You ever wonder why the small band of spectrum we can see (called visible light) is special? I mean almost all animals see in light ranges are are somewhere around here. I mean sure some can see a little farther into IR or UV but in general all animals see roughly around this same narrow band of frequencies in an otherwise infinite spectrum... So what is so special?

Its actually a quantum thing. Everything roughly around visible light and higher interacts with material by electrons jumping energy levels. However IR energy is absorbed by the bonds between molecules instead, which is why IR represents heat.

Basically visible light is right where these two modes intersect. Essentially they are the lowest energy part of the spectrum that is still high enough energy to interact primarily through changing energy levels of electrons. Essentially any more energy and it wont really get through the atmosphere as extreme UV is cut off.. any lower and it wouldnt be very effecieient cause most of the energy goes to heating the eye rather than seeing... So its right in that sweet spot.

I just added a feature to Fedipage that now lets me combine the activity from multiple gitlab servers into a single git activity heatmap.

Check out my home page where I now combine all the git servers i work on in one activity heat map:

Good news for . We are now being funded by some donated resources, both money and developers. We will essentially have a full-time server administrator and a part-time developer to advance the QOTO software. They will be starting January 1st.

This should allow us to start adopting many of the features we have wanted to bring in that people have been requesting.

If anyone knows of any senior level programmers or Data Scientists looking to be hired please let me know.

Semantic Web, AI, and Java are some of the key techs. Open-source and Linux oriented experience ideally.

I will be the hiring manager if anyone has questions.

NICE! As much as I hate the right every once in a while they do something good. Apparently now states must issue permits to carry a handgun to anyone who requests it unless they have an explicit reason not to (like they have a criminal history)... This makes all states "shall issue" states!

This is great, am really excited to see the being expanded!

So I am about to release v2.1.0 of (A Hugo based Static Page Generator that has ActivityPub/Fediverse support).

I am running the latest version on my personal page. Could anyone who has a moment check it out and see if you see any CSS glitches? Any feedback welcome. I will release later today.

In the USA I'm going to start asking mechinists and mechanics "Do you use the royal feet or scientific meters?"... maybe that will finally get people offended enough to switch to metric :)

@stux Any word on why mstdn.social blocked qoto recently.. they added the following reasaon, which makes no sense, what is going on over there:

"Objects to the fediblock process and claims that it should be put to a "democratic vote" weighted by instance size, and his just happens to be the largest."

Your mods going rogue over there or something?

@freemo@qoto.org avatar

There is literally only a single state in the USA where you still control autonomy over your own medical records (prescription drug list) and that is MO!

That means if you are in any other state and ever had a prescription doctors can find out what it was and who prescribed it. That means doctors can find your past doctors without your approval.

The scary part? You also have no control over your medical records. So your PCP can now legally look this up and contact all your past doctors for medical records and you cant do anything about it, you cant legally stop them, you cant purge your records, you cant purge your prescription list.

This is very scary for anyone who has been abused at the hand of a past doctor and moves.. If they have put any negative information about you that might make future doctors hostile towards you or not want you as a patient... there is nothing you can do... that is so scary...

is back after a long migration in the first stage of our upgrade. Now that we are on a new home we will give it 24 horus to see if the move was bug free (As it seems to be) and then we will start upgrading versions one at a time day by day.. The upgrades are prepared and ready and should be much quicker.

The move took a while as we keep a backlog of every message to the start of the fediverse so our media and DB stores are quite large and it took a long time. But we are back!!!

I dont know who needs to hear this.. but you can actually disagree with someone, have a debate, remain peaceful, and if you still disagree in the end you dont have to actually rage quit and block them. You can.... wait for it.... just disengage and walk away.

Not everyone has to agree with you about everything.

Just a reminder, if you smoke regularly... The end of your life will you be slowly suffocating for several years as you hallucinate from lack of oxygen grasping for breath. I've witnessed it and it is a horrible way to die. Keep your lungs clean folks, trust me.

If you are well organized, it is a healthy trait. no one would say you are "on the OCD spectrum".. but when that trait gets out of hand we would say you have OCD, and likely would be diagnosed as such.

I see (autism) ASD and ADHD as much the same way. Most people diagnosed with it who are high functioning dont really have it at all. It is just a personality trait and all in all a positive one. high-functioning ASD are just people without social hangups, good. And people with ADHD who are high-functioning are largely just amazing multi-taskers.

The harm in putting people on a spectrum is they see themselves asa diseased, broken, something that needs "consideration.. they arent, in most cases in the right proportions these "diseases" are in fact just super powers, things more people should wisht hey have really.
