@hongminhee I like the part of "spinning up a temporary ActivityPub server", but how does that work? The key needs to be reachable from the internet, so DNS and such must be already set up.
logging into things has become such a nightmare, why oh why did we popularize the notion that you need 2 computers to login to something? this is the extent that the capitalist mind worm has burrowed deep enough into programmers subconscious
I've never really used a trackball. I mean, I've played with them in kiosks and whatnot, but I never sat down to actually use a computer with a trackball.
Does anybody here use a trackball in a non-retro-computing environment? What are your impressions?
@drewdevault that's actually kind of cool, it would never have occurred to me. I was just thinking to allocate a random half meg block for every string. :D
@julian@Paul I doubt that forming a working group will make Mastodon devs put more resources into spec compliance. They had plenty of time to prove they can be a good member of the community and in my opinion, they failed. They rely on their leader position to have smaller projects implement their quirks instead of being a good neighbour and prioritizing spec compliance.
@julian@Paul everyone is worried that Facebook will bully the fediverse with EEE strategies, while failing to recognize that Mastodon already does this and nobody bats an eye.
When an #ActivityPub server implements authorized fetch (aka secure mode), how does it associate the keyId in an HTTP request with the actual actor? I know major implementations (like Mastodon) use a fragment appended to the actor IRI as a keyId, but in theory a keyId could be any IRI that seems unrelated to the actor IRI, right? Should I maintain a table of actor–keyIds somewhere in the server?
