  1. I do really want to thank @nivenly (and especially @esk) for sponsoring the work to fix the critical security vulnerability found in @pixelfed earlier in February:

    hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112

    Nivenly stepped up, even though they don't have a stake in Pixelfed, they just wanted to see the Fediverse be safer, more secure and all that.

    Without their support, I wouldn't have been able to dedicate the time to handling that (since I'm a freelancer)

  9. @thisismissem @sgf "blame" is not the same thing as "assigning responsibility".

    A good red flag for this is teams that say "We do #blameless #postmortems by not naming anyone in the postmortem".

    No! You know you have a blameless postmortem culture when you *can* name people in postmortems without it causing problems.

    This can be exceptionally hard to achieve, but it's worth it.

    Edit: see also @danslimmon blog.danslimmon.com/2023/04/20

  10. @thisismissem "#DevOps" is definitely worthless as a term. I've got a presentation kicking around somewhere where the thesis is "If you want to create a DevOps team you've already failed".

    In a well functioning team there should be no "us vs. them" between the SWE and #SRE people. Both groups are engineers, it's just that the engineering focus is different.

    The goal is still the same. Build and deliver services that meet the users' needs, within the #SLOs.

  11. @thisismissem Hmm. There's #NSFW, #Erotica, #Smutlandia for starters.

    Smutlandia.com is a good instance she might want to check out, too.

    And for groups to tag, there's:

    @/[email protected] &
    @/[email protected] (without the slashes).

    That should get her off to a good start!

    The #Fediverse has a Mental Health Problem

    In the past nine months, we’ve seen more than a dozen instances just go dark and shutdown, often in response to inter-instance fights and disagreements.

    Instances disappeared because the administrators and moderators of these instances burn out or face a personal emotional toll and abuse so great that they need to step away.

  13. @thisismissem which part of "the framework around them" do you miss?

    Like if it's just the declarative DOM manipulation there are many dom-diffing libs. #lithtml #haunted #morphdom #virtualdom.

    Consider: if propaganda was not effective, it would not get used.

    Therefore propaganda is effective even if you don't think so personally.

    Therefore showing it to others exposes them to propaganda and, even if you tell them it's propaganda, it's still potentially effective.

    So think before spread... I mean "dunking" on it.

    By all means! Trans people would like your help but

  15. @thisismissem @nicole @obsidian As a member of #TeamADHD, I definitely I definitely hear you! Thus far I’ve found that just dumping my brain into it has been a good start, because it puts the info in front of me. Following a single system like Zettelkasten is tempting but hasn’t worked well: it’s great for scholarly-type studying but didn’t work nearly as well for day-to-day bits for me. OTOH, the nice thing is that you can maintain sections of a vault, so I’ve got one section for “random brain thoughts”, one for a wiki-like dump of architecture at work, another for writing articles and such, another for project organization, another for trying Zettelkasten… :)

  16. @thisismissem I loved #TheMidnightClub so much

    Just in case you weren't aware, the creators dumped spoilers for season 2 on Tumblr when they found out it was cancelled

    Worth a quick read in my opinion, makes for good closure ;(

  17. @xChaos @thisismissem

    I've been a long-time advocate for #HumaneTechnology. Social coding commons adds something to that to become "humane and harmonious technology". Humane by default. #Humanity is an intrinsic value of the movement. And harmonious by #SocialCoding. Coding is social, and first of all deals with people coordinating to find solutions that align with and satisfy stakeholder needs. Coding happens somewhere in the process, an impl detail.

    A core principle of Social experience design is Sustainability, which is holistic in nature via the (adapted) Circles of Sustainability model. coding.social/blog/reimagine-s

    With this in place a #SX software solution will cycle through its Free software development lifecycle i.e. #FSDL, which drives a tailored development based on needs and lifecycle phase. coding.social/blog/reimagine-s

    Together this completely avoids a pure technology-driven development, ensuring Needs-driven development, and a natural NIMBY of inhumane technology and practices.

  18. RE: hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116

    This is such an interesting thread as it exposes the friction between ATProtocol/ActivityPub. Clearly, there are some cultural issues.

    It's important to understand and I say this often to our own desktop projects - we are always stronger together than apart.

    We are not competitors. We are allies.

    Understandably we might compete on investment and volunteers but those sort themselves.

  19. Inspired by a question from @thisismissem.social, I wrote up a document describing how to apply DPoP (RFC9449) to the OAuth Device Flow (RFC8628).

  20. @ak474000 @tchambers @thisismissem @Vivaldi

    I confess, I hadn't considered browsers maintaining their own instances. I miss stuff.

    Just another example of the tipping point already passed.

    Decentralized Social Networking is here. Which protocols and implementations, together or separately, drive #TheNetwork 10 years from now is merely a detail.

  21. @reiver @thisismissem @mfru

    Here's the diagram btw: social.coop/@smallcircles/1161

    The problem of #SolidProject knowing what it is, is more an inherited problem of #LinkedData / #SemanticWeb knowing what it is.

    Semantic web always was "if only all information on the web were semantic and machine-readable, then...". And there it stopped. Presumably magic would happen.

    And perhaps it would. But to make such a big leap, a paradigm shift of the entire web, along the way you have inspire a whole lot of people to set the (r)evolution in motion and keep it going.

    If you look at what linked data is, it is a very low-level format. Nice if you have it, but now what are you going to build with it? There are some good application areas, but the case for linked data elsewhere is not a given.

    Still today there are regular discussions on 'what would be the killer app for Solid' or linked data in general. Saw some interest for LLM's fed semantic data to make them more deterministic. I'm not interested.

  22. @reiver @thisismissem @mfru

    I made a diagram yesterday that contrasts #ActivityPub and #SolidProject that is I think interesting to consider.

    In the past I've been very active on the Solid forum, and tried to get a collab going with #SocialHub community. A number of points that existed then, are still issues today I think.

    Like, though anyone could participate in the standards process via chat, the Solid team and Inrupt were not really interested in their community, hardly giving attention while people were building interesting stuff there.

    Also at the time basically all available code was Javascript, making Solid uninteresting or hard to access for other language devs.

    But I think biggest issue was that Solid didn't know what it was. It was positioned as 'personal data vault' on the landing page then (but not using this term), but was 'secretly' TBL's desire to reboot the #SemanticWeb. The new web would be all 'Solid apps'. But the adoption strategy for that didn't exist.

  23. Gathering the people involved till now in this #fediMarket question to create some impulse and general discussion about this topic.
    This is not a proposal but some thoughts and unfinished considerations, looking for some input or to become at least some output itself.

    As @thomas pointed out there is #flohmarkt, as it looks like coded by @[email protected] .

    It has apparently the goal to be all the contrary to a centralized system but aims to be more like a local give away, sales and advertisement platform. Actualy it's not an auction like platform, witch is quite an interesting take. Still looking thru the ccc-Media video presentation trying to get a grip on it. As of now I didn't get the local restriction. Not sure if the restriction is mend to be by IP of the users, the IP of the platform of users or just some kind of instance restriction.

    The #GNUtaler discussion in this topic points to the general issue not only about payment but also about the system of trust that can be or could be implemented.
    It is and was quite interesting to see how the #ebay concept didn't catch up in Latin America because there was way to much fraud and the only thing that could catch up was some kind of sales platform like #mercadolibre that actually turned out to become some kind of national advertisement platform for professional sellers.

    What did tho work in an astonishing way, and let's please leave aside for a moment some issues bitcoin does involve, is the concept #localbitcoins came up with, actually as well as the famous #Silkroad example. Sites that managed to create some kind of trustless exchange. The particularity of localbitcoins tho was that they invented a reference system where people actually even meet each other and backed up their existence by some how proving each others identity. Ultimately the reference and reputation system of localbitcoins, reputation out of completed transactions and comments about them, as well as in person verification, created a functional working environment, something that till today is looking for a match out there.

    All these a real critical issues. And perhaps not only for trade but to a certain extent for our #socialWeb, our #fediVerse itself. On one hand we have commercial transactions that can involve fraud and on the other personal information that also can be exposed to fraud and worth. In our decentralized setup this is even somehow more complicated as fraudsters can restart at any given moment from anywhere else, while at the same time reputation on mid and long term should and can matter.
    So, what we do have is on one hand the "real me" function implemented for example by mastodon, and on the other we do have the signing capabilities of blockchains themselves. In particular of #electrum wallets, a decentralized wallet system that was created and is implemented not only by bitcoin but a lot more blockchains that want to show off with a real simple decentralized #FOSS wallet system.
    To get this straight, this is not about any coin or acquisition of any coin at all, but the simple technical availability of installing a simple long standing proven decentralized FOSS software that has the capability to sign or prove the correctness of any kind of text string. Nobody needs to have a single cent of a coin, or connect to anywhere, to create a wallet and with it a wallet address that than can sign a text. In other words, any wallet address is an ID that can't be impersonated without the respective password.
    So, it doesn't matter where for example the ID "bc1qp8xla8me0ykkh5wzrvkjgtdnuma0galep9cedu" as a profile name shows up, or which profile claims to represent the ID "bc1qp8xla8me0ykkh5wzrvkjgtdnuma0galep9cedu", unless it is able to show off with a text, for example:
    "I do have access to the signing keys for this ID" signed correctly with that wallet address, that profile could be considered an impostor.

    To create show cases for this idea, for this concept, there is on one hand the friendica fediVerse site:
    inversion.tupambae.com/
    The profile "blockchain" for example uses the just mentioned specific ID:
    inversion.tupambae.com/profile…
    as some kind of "none human readable address".

    Than there is the site:
    1dhfsbbdpv4wshuyc6197nymcfeqqk…
    The subdomain name itself is a first generation bitcoin address that has been used on the web and even if the capital letter detail is not in use, references are found for example by google.
    That site hosts a project profile that again uses a bitcoin #SEGWIT address as an ID:
    1dhfsbbdpv4wshuyc6197nymcfeqqk…
    Actually the bc1 segwit system is not case senitive, in other words no capital letters in those ID's.
    That profile itself is a reference to a mastodon profile that uses it to claim it's "real me" identity as "btc SEGWIT verified":
    mastodon.uy/@tierranietos

    Again there is not only no need for to involve bitcoins or cents of bitcoins (satoshis) in this. Even bitcoin itself doesn't have to be used, as there are lot's of electrum wallets out there. They do tho only verify texts signed with the same coin wallet. There is for example a #namecoin electrum wallet, a first generation coin invented to create a decentralized URL system, as well as there is for example a #faircoin electrum wallet. Considering all the altcoins created out there, faircoin at least is/was an interesting option that apparently failed to a certain extent due to the intent or claim by some in the community to be tradable on exchanges.
    Again, this is not about any coin at all but about the fact that we do have simple unique ID's at hand we can verify and we can use to create reputation and or invent some system of trust and reference on desktop and mobile.

    Than there is the consideration of guaranties and identities in the middle that allow escrow as implemented by localbitcoins.
    This escrow issue would involve somehow coins/tokens, at least as some kind of guaranty until the transaction is finished. Be it as a general input to prove the seriousness of an involvement, an offer or even a publication. In terms of bitcoin itself, the second level segwit technology allows the creation of circles of trust without even publishing transactions to the main bitcoin #blockchain.
