🆕 blog! “Updates to ActivityPub in a single PHP file”

A few weeks ago, I built an ActivityPub Server in a Single PHP File. It's a proof of concept showing how easy it is to turn a website into a full-featured Fediverse participant. After a bunch of feedback and testing, I've added a some features to make it slightly more useful. A single PHP file […]

@Edent Just wanted to say, this is an awesome idea and so simple!

@ayo This is awful, I refuse to believe you can't do the presentation and meetings remotely.

@kev Wondering if a free tier for Akismet could be leverage to do check the comments for spam.

Captchas are awful and not super privacy friendly.

@rolle Thank you for contributing 💜

Is there a dashboard / kanban / something that shows the current progression for 4.3.0 ?

There are so many fixes on main to the UI I'd like to have but there's no clear communication when it's due. Or like how much is left to make it ready.

It seems they are delivering the patches fast, but no minor releases.

Free idea: activityPub powered checkin and location reviews platform like 4square or tripadvisor

@ricard@ricard.social avatar

@ayo Surprised it doesn't exist yet.

I remember fondly the beginnings of 4Square. Was cool to follow your IRL friends and chase them in the leaderboards for exploring the city.

🇯🇵 Miyajima, Japan (2023) ✈️

One of my favorite photos from my 2023 trip to Japan, from the island of Miyajima.

Walking alone the back alleys of the small town, the rainy mood, the person walking... 💜

Next week I’ll be in Switzerland🇨🇭

@ayo The few times I've been there I always think "get ready to pay 30$ for a burger and a beer" ☠️

Coming from Spain the cost of living in Switzerland are out of this world 💸

Just improved a bit my Mastodon archive generator showing all the used hashtags.

It's just so much easier to find my old posts this way than using the regular Mastodon interface.

I wish there were more methods of discovery for "normal" people. Feels like webmentions, blogrolls, RSS feeds etc are mostly used by tech-y folks.

What's a good way to bring personal content to, say, a 16-year-old who never had to google "fetch CORS error why"?

@ricard@ricard.social avatar

@mxbck TikTok? Instagram Reels? YouTube shorts?

I'm just sad overall that these are the channels they use to consume content 😢

This area is very nice for walking. Get away from the busy station and main street. Get lost in the smaller streets around the neighborhood.

@Luke @jonhicks @jensimmons I'm very much looking forward masonry with just CSS 😍

On Safari TP you can use "switch" attribute in an input type checkbox and it turns into a switch

Need to do some mastodon maintenance, and sadly need to lower my following for a while to give my server time to breathe

! Proposal to put punctuation marks at the beginning

? What do you think

😄

ricard,
@ricard@ricard.social avatar

@ayo well, in Spanish every question should have punctuation at the beginning to know how to tone the phrase.
