  • @skykiss I think that the "indexable" and "unlisted" flags are only applied so that your instance (sfba.social) does not let search engines index your profile and posts.
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    joel@fosstodon.org even in Mastodon "unlisted" simply means the "public" indicator is in cc instead of to. It does not imply that the content is private. Remember that this is why it's not even called "unlisted" anymore, but "quiet public".

    NodeBB will see the post as correctly indicated by Mastodon (that it is public), and treat it as such.

  • Who Broke the Internet?
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    Today I'm listening to Who Broke the Internet?, a four-part series by pluralistic@mamot.fr on CBC's Understood podcast.

    > Google Search was the gold standard — a product born in a dorm room during the internet’s early, idealistic era. But when internal emails surfaced they revealed a deeper conflict inside the company: was Google making Search worse, on purpose, to boost ad revenue? Google says its changes are all about benefiting users. Critics say it’s all part of a bigger pattern — one that host Cory Doctorow calls enshittification: the slow, deliberate decay of platforms in the name of profit.

    Have you noticed internet search has become next to useless? It's like the arms-race between search and spam is ramping up, and not in a good way. Cory lays out the foundation that it isn't that simple, and that the degradation of search was brought on internally.

    Check it out here or wherever you get your podcasts!

  • Migrating away from Google is damn hard, when alternative email providers are crap about spam and phishing filtering, alternative Maps applications fail searching location names, and alternative office apps are slow and buggy.

    osma@mas.to hi, have you tried FastMail? It's the one I use that is pretty nice. I am not sure if they're an American company however.

    On the search front I have heard good things about Kagi paid search (apparently blows DDG out of the water?)

    bh4-tech they seem to be playing fine for me.

    Not sure why you're having issues with playback, but we don't stream piece by piece, it's just a video element playing the mp4 file.

    When you search the video, that is the post that would come through your feed.

  • What would cross-posting between instances look like in ActivityPub?
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    Hey rimu@piefed.social thanks for responding (and sorry for the late reply!)

    I am not married to the Announce([Article|Note|Page]) approach, so I am definitely open to Create([Article|Note|Page]) with a back-reference. I think I went the former direction because there is a known fallback mechanism — the Announce is treated as a share/boost/repost as normal. However, sending the Create also is fine I think.

    1. However, do we need a backreference? In my limited research, it seems that Piefed, et al. picks the first Group actor and associates the post with that community. If I sent over a Create(Article) with two Group actors addressed, could Piefed associate the post with the first, and initiate a cross-post with the remaining Group actors?
    2. Secondly, is how to handle sync. 1b12 relies on communities having reciprocal followers in order for two-way synchronization to be established. On my end since I know it is cross-posted I will now send 1b12 activities to cross-posted communities, but can Piefed, et al. send 1b12 activities back as well, in the absence of followers?

  • What would cross-posting between instances look like in ActivityPub?
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    projectmoon@forum.agnos.is basically, yes. It would be a little too involved to upend the entire system to support multiple cids per topic — a lot of our existing code relies on cid being a single value.

    This would be an add-on logic of sorts, where each topic has a canonical category, but can also be cross-posted to other communities/categories.

  • Qatari jet
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    So I'm not publicly political, but news agencies seem to be agog over the value of said jet... and nobody seems to be talking about the OpSec exposure from taking on this equipment.

    For reference (not that it's at all the same), but if I inherited a 14 year old software project, and had less than a year (or hell, even if I had all 4 years) to make certain without a doubt that I caught all the booby traps...

    No I don't think I can ethically promise that.

    The same would apply if the jet came from the UK. Canada. Mexico. Anywhere else but from a supply chain they control.

  • I need a "Follow +12h" delay feature #Mastodon #ActivityPub
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    rood@aus.social that... is actually not a bad idea 😲

    If every account exposed their time zone, then your client or server could simply delay the post the appropriate amount until it's your time zone... 10pm their time, shows up 10pm your time.

    oooooh.

  • Fun sci-fi world-building question: if you are going to write about gentrification on a large (say 1% of moon size) space station with centrifugal ring for gravity, where do you think the poorer/richer residents would live on this station?
    julian@community.nodebb.orgJ julian@community.nodebb.org

    bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place I think The Expanse touched on this briefly, about how the poor tended to live on the outer edges of the ring due to the Coriolis effect or something? I don't quite remember.
