operand@todon.nl darius@friend.camp I'm here making it a reality!

Topical forums definitely have their place, and the federation aspect is icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.

Was wondering all day why my internet was so slow. Turns out I've had my laptop VPN proxying all my requests through Vienna, Austria, for the better part of two weeks.

Yes, I am a professional, why do you ask?

kris@outmo.de Piefed and Lemmy are link aggregators, but a couple of those next-gen forums (notably, nodebb@fosstodon.org) have joined the fediverse.

Different strokes for different folks, but sometimes a good honest forum UX is the ideal path forward

johannab@cosocial.ca Vancouver again I assume?

Also are you sure you want to ride AC hahaha

linc@phpc.social oooh interesting...! And a little teaser at the end too

Who were these Canadian entrepreneurs? What's the next big swing? It sounds interesting!

evan@cosocial.ca Let's go Blue Jays let's go woo woo!

Having a fever dream where I combine SyncThing and Immich and can say goodbye to Google nagging me to buy storage forever (today I am at 99.6%)

Theoretically I only have to do Google Takeout once too.

Just need my ADHD brain to actually buckle down and do it.

Also docker. Blech.

Like... I mean, I get the enthusiasm behind ATProto, and it's kind of awe-inspiring the technical stuff that comes out of the ATmosphere... but it all (and I mean, practically ALL OF IT) comes with a nagging feeling that it's a re-invention of classical data structures and transmission clouded in technical word soup that has evolved in its own echo chamber so much that it no longer bears any passing resemblance to existing technology.

... and there are all these really bright, really smart people who understand all of it, and so that other part of me feels like the first meme, where I am just along for the ride.

You know where I've seen it before?

Crypto.

You know where else I've seen it?

AI.

It has a smell to it that I can't describe properly.

So now I'm the old man yelling at clouds.

When did I get here I wonder.

Reading this article and its' comments on HN has me feeling equal parts these two memes.

Twissell it is possible, yes. NodeBB chats are not E2EE, so don't use it with anything more than superficial expectations of privacy.

That said, there are no easily available tools to do so. You'd have to build your own interface or dive into the database to read said messages.

jaz@toot.wales unfortunately a harp might be out of our budget this year

@em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange mm, I mean yes, I agree with that, though I don't agree with giving organizations a carte blanche simply because they're public services.

I heard (on the CBC) that Canada Post is hemorrhaging $10M a day. That's cause for some concern ...

Canada Post losing $10 million a day: minister

Canada Post is on track to lose $1.5 billion in 2025. The federal government announced a plan Thursday to modernize it, including ending home delivery. The union, which has been stuck in contract negotiations with the corporation, responded to the demands for reform by saying that effective immediately, all of its workers are on a nationwide strike.

At Piefed office hours, rimu@piefed.social and I got to talking about what's next for Piefed and the Threadiverse WG.

One of those things is moving stuff between communities (or in bbs parlance: moving topics between categories/forums).

Rimu suggested we use the already-existing as:Move activity, sent by the community (a group actor), with origin and target set, and with object being the post id itself.

I suggested we update this to use the resolvable context collection as object instead, which Piefed has supported since v1.2.

That should be enough to get a proof-of-concept implementation going between Piefed and NodeBB... a question remained as to whether this should be Announce(Move(Object)) or simply Move(Object).

Argument for former was that it was similar verbiage to other 1b12 actions.

Argument for the latter was that this is merely 1b12 adjacent and needn't follow prior art.

We'll likely put together an FEP for this.

Twissell in that case there should be no adverse effect on SEO.

Crawlers will see the rel=canonical tag and automatically deduplicate the 2+ entries into one

Twissell cna you check the rel=canonical for both of those pages?

They should both return the same value.

eeeee that is a small expandable element showing the post that it was in reply to (which is your post)

jgrim@discuss.online Pixelfed has no versioning? That's concerning that you have to live on the bleeding edge if you don't want to be outdated.

I do see there are tags, which at least shows some versioning?
