Přemýšlím co bych představil na letošním #LinuxDays 🤔
Zatím mě napadlo představit #Libravatar: otevřenou a federalizovanou náhradu Gravataru. Zkouším i nějakou svou drobnou selfhostovatelnou implementaci serveru v Rustu. Nevím ale jestli ji stihnu dokončit. A byla by to asi jen taková 10 minutovka.
Nebo něco ze selfhostingu? Detailněji představit některou z aplikací? Loni jsem udělal takový průlet, tak letos rozebrat jednu aplku víc? Třeba Immich by zasloužil větší slávu, protože to je fakt super.

Just found out there's a simple API for Libravatar.

What do we think about libravatar? Is it any good? And most importantly, is it good privacy-wise?

Is Libravatar in use/active/and so on? 🤔 Thinking we need more non-us cloud alternatives (or at least that's what I was looking for)...
Are there other alternatives to Gravatar?

Using Libravatar/Gravatar for your profile in Planet GNOME
Now that the new planet.gnome.org website is live, we have added Libravatar and Gravatar support. Instead of having the Planet website host user images itself, we are giving members the choice to use profile images/avatars from these services.
If you are interested in updating your profile picture, check out the instructions at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Websites/planet.gnome.org#adding-an-avatar and file an issue. Extra points if you do a merge-request! 🙂
The old hackergotchis are an important part of our community’s history, so I set up a static website to host the old files. Feel free to file an issue if you want yours taken down from there.

CW: Caddy try_files surprise
```
root ${avatars}
try_files {path}.jpg =404
```If /avatars/{path}.jpg does not exist, we get the expected 404. Great.
If it does, instead of the file, we get an empty 200 response. This is because `try_files` only rewrites the request. It still needs a `file_server` directive, or else it falls through to the default response: an empty 200.
Updated Libravatar implementation on Caddy and NixOS:

Talk about #DDFON (Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network) (friendly name: #MycelialWeb), the latest iteration of #Libravatar is now using a federated software.
I think it has been that way after the service was transferred to a new team.
Having said that… what if #ActivityPub or at least the various platforms connected to the #Fediverse mycelium network, use Libravatar?
For this to work though, Libravatar would have to be updated with a new verification process to handle the non-email ActivityPub webfinger. (And I'm not sure if there are other stuff that has to be updated/added.)
If my memory serves me right, #Friendica and #Hubzilla are already doing this, although as a plugin the admin can toggle (but based on the email address attached to the account).

Just setup a static #Libravatar API endpoint on 1a23.com and 1a23.studio to return a static image. Not sure how many sites are using this over Gravatar though.

@blog I suggested something similar for #libravatar some years ago https://gist.github.com/aslakr/6a7306bf74080eea4498c19fb418073a when services can't use the DNS records.
I also think that services like this should have a way to indicate the size of the avatar, similar for libravatar/gravatar.

Delete account and switch to https://www.libravatar.org/ #libravatar 😃 -
#Centralised, #surveillance enabled Gravatar no.
#Federated, user-controlled #Libravatar yes.

Libravatar is a decentralized alternative to Gravatar. I'm self-hosting it with NixOS, Nginx, and DNS records managed by OpenTofu.

#TIL about another online identify verifier, #Keyoxide. Quite a lift! But I did get it going with the help of a few Mastodonians and this guide from @sbr
Pixelfed is still giving me problems, but I'm done for the day.
Next up, understanding the #Gravatar, #Libravatar, #Ivatar

Libravatar : federated avatar hosting service https://www.libravatar.org/ #Libravatar is a Federated Open Source Service which delivers your avatar (profile picture) to other websites, as an alternative to #Gravatar. If you create an account with us, your photo could start popping up next to forum posts or blog comments on any site where you left your email address.

Is anyone here familiar with #libravatar? I'm... not understanding how it works.
That is, I thought I understood, but further evidence has shown that I do not.

Hey does anyone know where #libravatar works? Does it work on m#astodon? Is there a list of sites that are known to implement it?

So during this week I successfully moved @libravatar from Freenode to Matrix (with an IRC bridge).

@libravatar well, it's thanks to you since moving to #libravatar is just a matter of changing the hostname 💪

Have you heard / seen? #libravatar runs on new (faster) hardware since last weekend! Did you notice the performance difference?

Spend my evening debugging and improving my #libravatar tooling.
https://avatars.shivering-isles.com/
Now with fully proxy capabilities and it still struggles with client-side caching, but that should be solved in the future as well. For now it's already nice, snappy, and easy to run.
-
Looks like #gravatar has a bad day. Yet again people hording personal data lost control over it by accident. For something "as simple as an avatar service" that is a bit of a mess.
Maybe check if you want to use #libravatar which is not interested in any profile data and if you feel especially majestic, you can just selfhost it, like I do, with not more than nginx and a shell script that uses imagemagick.
-
Added some small improvements to the libravatar-nginx project. Some cleaning in the code, adding all possible size requests properly and making sure that your container can report back when things are ready to go :)
I also fixed a little mistake in the cache duration for the avatars.

@raboof @kuketzblog agreed, that's one reason why I tried to move it into an own service. Currently as POC via dbus, but the next step is to build a microservice for it, that other applications can use:

-
Spend my evening having great dinner and than doing some crazy JS hacking to create a PoC for a #libravatar dbus service.
I would love to get some feedback from people who use/build software that hooks into dbus if it makes sense to rewrite the project in a proper language and improve the whole setup or not.
