While researching the #ActivityPub history, I stumbled upon the federated SNS timeline: https://im.youronly.one/techmagus/kb/ddfon/federated-social-network-timeline-2022346/ by @youronlyone

Quite comprehensive resource! I will look into adding The Appleseed Project, One Social Web, and Tent.

@youronlyone I think The Appleseed Project is the oldest one, going back to 2004 (though the oldest archived sites I found so far are from 2005). I only learned about OSW from this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10128476 – I think they were building on top of XMPP like Buddycloud, but I need to look further into it.

Yeah, I agree ATproto should be included.

I'll do some more digging next week and open an issue or a PR in your repository, thanks!

Look at it, I still have a t-shirt from @webexpo 2013. It's kinda worn, but it lasted much longer than other conference merch (same can be said about those events). Little did I know I'd speak there 11 years later.

And in case you still don't have a ticket, you can use promo code “JANV24” for 15% off on http://webexpo.net/ (I don't get any referral bonus or anything, just good karma)

While I share some skepticism towards Oven as a company I did enjoy working with Bun. Its built-ins are really convenient, but my favorite feature is --smol flag to reduce memory footprint: https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v0.7.0#reduce-memory-usage-with-bun-smol

$115B for a new HPC supercomputer for "AI" named Stargate.

Is it just me or does the current tech business model look like:

  1. Hoover up the public internet
  2. Build massive billion param transformer models (aka )

  4. Massive Profit!!!

On May 29th, I’ll be diving into at the @webexpo conference. My goal is to spread awareness about the technology, but obviously, I can’t avoid talking about the fediverse. Anyone here I’ll meet in Prague? https://webexpo.net/sessions/lets-dive-into-activitypub-protocol-for-the-social-web-and-beyond/

I was hit by subdomain takeover through a wildcard DNS entry for GitHub Pages. I'd never know unless the attacker added the subdomain to Google Search Console.
I doubt other affected domain owners are so lucky though…

I'm not registering a domain with a US-based registrar again. Or at least not with GoDaddy. They really want me to renew, don't they…

Is there an OSI approved Open Source licence which says:
"For the love of all you hold dear, do not use this in production."?

@Edent Not OSI-approved, but I think Good Luck With That Public License (or GLWTS in its NSFW version) is close: https://github.com/me-shaon/GLWTPL

Otherwise WTFPL is OSI-approved.

When you toot a link, every instance that sees the toot hits the website, pulling the page & any linked OpenGraph image.

As the Fediverse grows, the number of requests increases. Eventually, it may grow so large as to crush smaller servers. There's also the risk of a DDoS amplification attack: post a stream of toots all linking to different pages on a site & watch the entire Fediverse hammer the site continuously.

Maybe we need some kind of hierarchical caching before that happens?

@markdarb @angusm While I think this is the way to go, I'm also curious how this will be abused since you've got to trust data embedded in the post.
Facebook used to allow anyone to change link preview, but now requires domain ownership verification to “eliminat[e] a channel that has been abused to post false news.” https://www.facebook.com/business/help/103043593796161?id=250502925955301
(I guess it's the case of people reading only previews and not checking actual links?)

@Edent Recently I ran into https://unrot.link/ by @rem which handles redirection to Internet Archive through intermediary service with client-side scripting. Seems quite useful for static sites.
