Jérôme Poisson: Libervia progress note 2021-W38
Hello,

it’s time for a new progress note. The work is currently focused on ActivityPub Gateway, and progress has been done on pubsub cache search and the base component.

Next to the pubsub cache implementation, it was necessary to have a good way to search among items.

So far, Libervia was doing pubsub search using pubsub service’s capabilities, and notably the [XEP-0431](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0 … ⌘ Read more

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk I like your website’s look, but i was disappointed to find that ‘finger’ doesn’t seem to actually work. ;-)

Based on spam logs, I am (again) considering banning a bunch of TLDs at the server level. Has anyone ever gotten legitimate email from a .work, .casa, or .today domain, for example?

thinking about a building something in the realm of !gesture that could work alongside !gest. The core principle of gest is line construction using breakpoints and an external clock. This new system, which I think I will call sloop, is more about making lines using slope. It would work by sending it messages: go from here, to there, in some amount of time, and use an external clock. If it reaches there, you have arrived. If a new message arrives before you get there, you are already here, now you have a new there. I think this approach would lend itself well to more open-ended kinds of gestures. #halfbakedideas

OpenBSD on the Huawei MateBook X (2020)
My old 2017 Huawei MateBook X has been my most reliable laptop and has continued to be my daily-use workstation despite trying half a dozen others (and a desktop or two) in the past four years. Every time I’d try a new laptop, certain components wouldn’t work properly, or the keyboard would feel strange, or the screen would look bad, or the fan or some coil-whine noise would drive me nuts. And every time, I’d return to my MateBook X and everything would just work silently. ⌘ Read more

The classical book reprinting site is live! LindyPress.net
For a while, I’ve hinted that I’ve been contributing to a project to reprint out-of-print classical and medieval texts that are of hidden value, sometimes even in their original languages. I’ve worked on this project for a while and now it’s live and you can browse the first five books available.

XMPP and Matrix are two decentralized and federated free sofware projects for chat, including true end-to-end encrypted chat.
