I still often think about the fact that Aaron Swartz was only 14 years old when he helped develop RSS..

Imagine what he could give us when given the chance 🙏

RIP Aaron♥️

I've been carrying around an idea for a federated code forge for a while. Two things sharpened it recently: Tangled's post on the federated code forge, which builds a forge on the AT Protocol, and a Jujutsu workshop (Korean) by Seongmin Lee (@boltless.me), who works at Tangled, held at @turingappledev.

My version would build on ForgeFed, the #ActivityPub protocol for code forges (spec), so that repositories, issues and merge requests federate the way posts already do. The idea is early enough that I haven't even come up with a codename. What I want from it, roughly:

• Git and Jujutsu (so-called jj) as equal clients. Not Git hosting with Jujutsu support bolted on, but a forge that understands both, so what Jujutsu is actually good at, stacked changes, becomes a first-class unit of review instead of a pile of separate pull requests.
• No owner layer. Since the point is federation, one instance represents one person or one organization, permissions are managed per server, and a repository lives at forge.example/myrepo instead of forge.example/owner/myrepo.
• A migration path off GitHub that keeps the history. Importing the code is easy; importing the issues, pull requests and discussions with their original authors attached is the part that matters. I'd keep a placeholder for each GitHub account and let whoever owns that account prove it, after which the instance swaps in their fediverse actor, so attribution carries over. How to express that claim in ActivityPub is the part I haven't figured out. It may need a new FEP.

Where this stands: I haven't read the whole #ForgeFed spec, Fedify doesn't ship the vocabulary yet (fedify-dev/fedify#751), and I have too much else going on to start soon. If you've run a forge or implemented ForgeFed, I'd like to hear whether any of this makes sense.

#codeforge #fediverse #fedidev

Actual is over a billion megabytes or 9 billion megabits (20 petabits), which is 200 million times larger than 5 megabits. 🤣

We're interested in opening up our instance a little bit to Fediverse power-users who want to help us dogfood #Bonfire. The environment seems to be mostly stable, but we're currently running on latest alpha / beta branches, so Here Be Dragons.

If you're interested in jumping over to a new instance and using it exclusively for a while, feel free to DM me for an invite!

@fesshole If it’s any consolation, I’m sure she’s had to deal with that her entire life.

Trump offered head of the UFC and violent abuser, Dana White, the job of White House Comms secretary, via Truth Social..

He almost immediately declined the role because why would he do that and he has zero expertise.

What is even funnier is that there is some speculation going on that someone suggested THIS Dana White (https://www.war.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/Article/1170857/dana-w-white/) for the role, someone with a communications background in the US Department of War 🤢 .

Dementia Trump assumed they meant his wrestling buddy and immediately offered him the job on Truth Social.

Absolute fucking clown shoes.

@ai6yr good night. May it be a slow and boring feed

@ai6yr geeeez what , did he do? pick up a shift in a less than wonderful neighborhood? The nightclub district on a Saturday night? Frat row after a football loss?

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

of course japan has its own humanities vs hard sciences rivalry

@MsDropbear42 @riverpunk

In this particular instance, it’s a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy thing.

@ai6yr Now there is a workplace that needs to unionize.

(I mean, they all do, but *fucking hell*...)

@terence The Formosa coincidence is wild.

(Perhaps not that much of a coincidence; Spanish and Portuguese colonizers were everywhere.)
