Mostly a programmer.

Implementing #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language.

Current projects:

  • #GoActivityPub - a library to use ActivityPub in Go.

  • #FedBOX - a generic ActivityPub service supporting the client to server API.

  • #brutalinks - a link aggregator inspired by (old) reddit, hacker news and lobste.rs built on top of FedBOX.

  • #oni - a single user ActivityPub server with minimal fuss.

My posts are mostly related to ActivityPub and web development.

Whoa, I had no idea Dunk and Egg short stories are going to have screen adaptations.

Apparently GRRM is very excited about the two eponymous characters having been cast: https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2024/04/09/casting-dunk-egg/

>FOSS maintenance should be funded by governments on behalf of the taxpayer

Matrix people are struggling to maintain their tech and they are begging governments to take money from YOU to help them stay afloat.

Let them sink. We already have XMPP, and E2EE over AP is also coming.

> Let them sink.

@silverpill jesus mate, that's a hateful thing to say. What prompts this sentiment?

mariusor,
@mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

@silverpill as a EU taxpayer let me tell you that I would rather my money go to Matrix than what's being paid to Microsoft.

I thoroughlyagree with TFA that "all open source software" used/planned to be used in the EU or individual national organisations needs to receive funding to the same extent as the for pay equivalents.

And finally, as an open source developer myself, I find it in poor taste to bad mouth others that do the same no matter the quality of their work.

@cstross if the "New Management" series gets an HBO adaptation, who do you see as Evelyn Starkey?

@cstross understood, and sorry to hear that.

    Can be made to work with as well as ? Then podcatchers could work like a client, allowing us to interact directly via comments, favorites and spreading around the best episodes via boosts.

    update: it exists but no podcatcher fully supports it yet.

    @errhead @wjmaggos @agates I think Funkwhale has the most Audio centric UI. But it's not targeted specifically at podcasts.

    @agates probably it would be useful for the people in the back to state who is the "us" that you're representing. And also what does "has chosen not to work with" actually mean?

    @agates thank you.

    "Copyleft is less free than permissive licenses because permissive licenses allow you to make proprietary forks of free software" is a worldview that just straight-up makes no sense at all

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @drewdevault your distinction makes perfect sense, but I think that most people reason about the permissiveness of licenses as sets of things which are allowed/disallowed.

    And by that metric the permissive licenses include all the things copyleft ones do, plus more, therefore "more free".

    I keep forgetting how many Belgians are assholes towards Matthieu Van Der Poel, he got beer thrown at him again and the boos are almost drowning the cheers. Sigh.

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    Looks like the sentiment is similar in France. A lady spectator tried to make MvdP crash. WTF?

    It looks like the Belgian police has identified the dude that threw beer at MvdP on the Oude Kwaremont climb:

    The ecosystem gets a number of things right. Among the ones I appreciate a lot is strong encouragement of canonical formatting with .

    Canonical formatting, enforced by CI, makes it much harder to e.g. strategically hide a stray dot in source code in a way that is easy to overlook - and to miss its semantical impact.

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @hko would that work for something equivalent to the case you mention, where the code is obfuscated inside a cmake check?

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @j0057 indeed probably the ecosystem of Rust + Cargo allows for a lot less suspicious code like the C + CMake example.

    Punk really was shit. I can understand liking it if you have fond associations with your youth, but otherwise I don't get it. Musically it's completely without merit. Uniquely without merit, I think. I'm struggling to think of any other mainstream music genre from any age which is so uniformly complete excrement.

    @mattb it's not about the music.

    Weird question: is it possible to make a commit that does not change anything except the authorship of some specific lines of code? I am looking for an easy way to fix errors in credit for commits when you can't just rewrite the repo history

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @vaurora changing authorship changes the commit id, so this kind of change would rewrite history.

    I’m making my own server in . Today, a big achievement: received a Follow, sent an Accept this Follow which was accepted. That might not sound like much, but behind the scenes there were so parts needed to get this to work: WebFinger, verifying http messages, parsing Activity Streams objects, processing the request, generating and signing the http response.

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @omz13 I don't know if you're interested but I made some libraries to help with all of those things. :) https://github.com/go-ap

    folks, can anybody tell me why this doesn't do what I expect: https://go.dev/play/p/VQB02JKAaNG

    tl;dr errors.Is(MyError{}, MyError{}) returns false 🤔

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @mattb I can't be sure 100% of what I'm going to say next, but I think your misunderstanding stems from "errors are values" paradigm that Go uses.

    And since Go can't do equality comparison on structs, you need to provide your own Is(error) bool to supplement that logic.

    The unwrap mechanism (which might steer you the wrong direction) is orthogonal to what errors.Is actually does, which is the most basic equal comparison, which was the mechanism Go used since forever for error checks.

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    @christopher I'm embarrassed to say that: today I learned. (So thanx)

    I guess I projected my C bias on Go and just assumed equality on structs does not behave as simple as this. :)

    I also don't remember any official documentation mentioning this behaviour, but maybe I just glossed over it.

    I'm not sure how I was able to commute and ride centuries on a 50x15 fixie for more than 5 years. Just took it out for a 15Km loop and in the wind I had my socks knocked off.

    mariusor,
    @mariusor@metalhead.club avatar

    Well, after about a week I was able to do 50Km, around 33Km/h. On the same route with the gravel bike I usually manage a measly ~30Km/h. I get a 10% improvement due to thin tires. Who knew? :D

    I wonder what I can achieve if I change the gearing to a more manageable 50/17 where I can get into the 80-90 rpm range more frequently.
