Also, no federation on the NodeBB/piefed unless/until the users overwhelmingly ask for it.

NodeBB or maybe piefed to host announcements and provide a place for questions and feedback.

Consider creating an account for each household with a “correct horse battery staple” style password that’s easy to input on mobile, print out a little slip of paper with an explanation blurb and account name & password, and deposit in their mailbox.

Do not expect any users until you’ve hosted several game nights that had multiple attendees. From what you say you are the events committee, not the online life committee. I would thus recommend to stay focused on events until people bring up, unprompted, a desire for more casual day-to-day interactions. You want to be integrating into their existing habits, not trying to replace them. Let the “switching” happen on their own initiative lest they feel like they’re being co-opted for your own personal agenda.

Interestingly, that page cites vocata as related work

I dislike yaml as much as the next person, but you can always “just” write Jason JSON (lol autocorrect). Unless I’m misunderstanding your criticism?

Forgejo has their own runner: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/actions/runner-installation/

I’ve used it on my personal machine, was very easy to setup and mostly compatible with GitHub actions out-of-the-box (including things like actions/checkout@v4).

I see a new post.
I click, I read, I scroll on.
I am the lurker.

#haiku (<- test to see how far this propagates in the mastodon / microblogging part of the fediverse)

It is, but maybe they mean they want no limit whatsoever on post length.

which, well, if your instance starts sending out megabyte-sized text posts I don’t expect it to stay federated with many others for very long.

I see, thanks for the correction.

There used to be this website, but the url just loads up a scam site now (I’ve created this issue on the project’s tracker if anyone has additional info to contribute).

I don’t know how technical you are, @[email protected] , but you could try running the “defed-investigator” project locally.

lemmy.ml, no, but I’m fairly certain that lemmygrad.ml has been defederated from lemmy.world at least, if not others.

I just searched on GitHub for "Sha1-Hulud: The Second Coming.": 692 repositories. On the first page of results I was able to find a repo clearly made by the malware, and in that repo I was able to find someone’s github token with a few applications of “decode from base64”.

This is pretty bad. I don’t know what exactly comes next, an awareness campaign to get people to clean their infected machines and packages?

From my own experience querying public mastodon timelines via API (edit: removed incorrect /api/v1s in the AP_IDs):

• Mastodon user accounts have an ActivityPub URI of https://<instance.domain.tld>/users/<username>
• Mastodon posts have an ActivityPub URI of https://<instance.domain.tld>/users/<post_author_username>/statuses/<post_id> (they also have a url property of https://<instance.domain.tld>/@<post_author_username>/<post_id> but that tends to serve the html view of the post)

To see for yourself, pick an instance that allows viewing their public timeline without logging in (mastodon.social is perfect for this) and follow the “Playing with public data” section of the docs. That page ellides most of the info you’re looking for in the example payloads they give (as the JSON payloads themself are quite large and nested), but I can assure you that AP_IDs for user accounts and posts can be found pretty quickly from a single timeline query.

I don’t think Mastodon has any notion of community, nor does it distinguish between posts and comments (when following a lemmy community, both posts and comments show up in my masto feed as “top-level” statuses (ie posts)).

If we want to keep it silly, then "pie-munchers’ gets my nomination.

Op, I appreciate that you seem to be genuinely interested in these topics, and are not just farming engagement (which is kinda meaningless here on the Fedi, anyways…). If I may offer a suggestion, try to find a tone that doesn’t sound like a roadmap for some corporate brand strategy. Most of us that are here and would be interested in a “fediverse permaculture” are severely put off by the structure of your post, not to mention it lacks in depth for most suggestions to be directly actionable (for example, the merch you would sell to support the insurance still needs to be made somewhere, by someone, who either needs to be paid for their time or are already independently wealthy).

Have you taken a look around [email protected] ? Permaculture is not just about principles of mutual support but also a long process of experimentation to see which combinations of which plants and practices works out “for the best”. You might foster more of the conversation you’re looking for if you can bring some more concrete examples or proposals to serve as topics instead of an all-encompassing manifesto post.

The next time I’m about to moan and complain about how nobody directly implements activitypub apis “the standard way”, I’ll remember this article and be mollified.

As @[email protected] states, diversity is a strength when it comes to resisting capture.

Haven’t gotten through the entire protocol description yet, but so far it seems closer to DMs on a social network than digital letters.

Neat, but maybe we should just do email-over-activitypub then…

I’m not sure if you explicitly want an RFC-style description (i.e. follows https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119 for MUST vs SHOULD vs etc) or if you are using RFC as a colloquial term for the technical details of the protocol.

In case of the latter, the “protocol” link at the top resolves to this GitHub repo: https://github.com/Open-Email/MailHTTPS-Protocol

Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault’s work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone’s public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

Same, it’s impressive how much it irks people.

My own hasty judgement is that [those upset] only speak English, have a prescriptivist take on language (albeit unconsciously), and have no idea how damaging hegemony and uniformity for their own sake can be.

Also they’re lazy and would rather shame someone than take on a little bit of discomfort to adapt to them.

I guess that makes it “judgements”, plural.
