One thing I love about Prime TV (possibly the only thing) is that it constantly updates the list of in scene actors.

Random things I do not know about our solar system.

• Are the planets spinning round the sun in the same direction?
• Are all the planets spinning around the same line of the sun, equivalent to the equator on earth. Or is that just convenient for illustration?
• Does the Asteroid belt imply just that? Meaning it does not surround the entire solar system or is it a belt of finite height.

I was looking at implementing #ActivityPub with #dasblog a while back, and I admittedly struggled and lost my enthusiasm for the project. However, I have found @mapache explanations and tutorials incredibly helpful and intuitive.

I am following his guide here: https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implement-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website/

DasBlog is not static so some of this does not apply, but enough does, and for the rest I can easily overlap gaps with the rich blogging engine. I am currently on step 5, this is happening!

Has anyone implemented Activity Pub with ASP.NET Core?

Not just types and objects but something that could be used for basic federation.
