Thanks for bringing this up. I think in general we need to work on optimisation of Activitypub and Threadiverse implementations of it.

@neil Be careful what you wish for, though, or you might get 120% of your annual precipitation in 24 hours, like Spain

I'm not a stranger to thinking certain cartoon animal men are hot. But Death from the Puss'n'Boots movie? I don't get it at all.

@isaiah I generally turn it off mainly because on the first day when testing a new device I want to evaluate how the screen looks, and I generally don't think about it later

New York is the one place on Earth where I quickly realize that I don't jaywalk aggressively enough.

I shared a link from NPR Tiny Desk but there was no image preview or video embed. After investigating this I learned that when you do that, each instance picks up the link and individually retrieves the link preview nearly simultaneously. For gargantuan sites like YT or Reddit, this is a trivial amount of traffic and not a problem, but for smaller sites like NPR this results in a sort of botnet DDOS attack on the site’s servers. More here. Another example here . For that reason, NPR has blocked Fediverse servers like Mastodon.

I have experienced this on my personal server as well (DDOS), but at the time didn’t know why, exactly.

This isn’t the end of the world, but certainly is not great and hurts engagement with the content. Is there a solution for this? Perhaps using some sort of webtorrent service like PeerTube where they just fetch the information from another fediverse server instead of the source server? Maybe fetching embeds client-side? At least that would stagger the requests.

HTTP signatures are not a default feature, the baseline is ECDHE key exchange with forward secrecy and deniability.

There isn’t even an official standard for redistributable signed page metadata. There’s just prototypes

@theDanielJLewis I tried it and really like it.

@lowqualityfacts the original greek yogurt consisted of 10% milk and 90% lard.

NonSteamLaunchers just got a new update that adds the Xbox Game Pass launcher, Xodus Nexus:

That second solution is what I thought of as doing as I read this. It doesn’t rely on a third party service being up. And that instance has to do that work anyway. So why not just share the results with others?
