This account is here to interact with bits of the Fediverse which don’t play nicely with my weird ActivityPub-email system.
@CoderSupreme The founder of StackOverflow went on to work on Discourse (https://discourse.org). There’s actually an ActivityPub plugin available nowadays, so apparently people can contribute from whatever fediverse server they’re coming from. For example see Go Bridge (https://forum.golangbridge.org)
> Why is Mastodon being treated as a monolithic entity?
Oh the usual: makes a batter headline.
I guess I’m spreading toxicity by replying to a post from a Mastodon app…? Or something?
@becha @selfhosted Sure I’d be happy to talk about it there!
@onlinepersona @fediverse Haha good question! They’re light on details (“we moved to Wordpress”)
and after testing it seems like it’s not even working :(
WordPress has an ActivityPub plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
Here’s a wordpress blog that is available via activitypub: https://solarbird.net/blog
We can address it like so: @solarbird.net
We can’t see the posts on Lemmy (doesn’t support ad-hoc fetching of ActivityPub Notes)
but in a Mastodon web UI: https://solarbird.net/blog/2024/02/27/kosa-again-yes-again/
pf/opnsense essentially provide web interfaces to the underlying
FreeBSD OS tooling. In this case I’m running plain OpenBSD. That means
configuring the system is mainly done by reading and writing text
files and doing stuff at the command line. There’s a whole bunch of
reasons why some people prefer one way or the other or even mix things
up a bit. My recommendation is, if you’re interested, have a go
administering a system without a web interface and see how you feel!
@Edgarallenpwn @selfhosted
For starting out, Building a Router from the OpenBSD FAQ is helpful: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/example1.html
@czardestructo For the CPU Intel says 7.5W: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/81071/intel-celeron-processor-n2830-1m-cache-up-to-2-41-ghz.html
So all up I’m guessing under 10W. I don’t know how much other components affect the power usage, though. And I’m about 200km away from where it is installed! Hoping someone more expert in hardware could chime in here :)
Because blinking lights give me goo goo ga ga
This one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003378019857.html
Halfway through writing a follow-up blog post detailing set up, internals, etc. Should be available soon if you’re interested :)
This one has an old Intel N2830:

With this particular model you can get a newer N100 chip
None that I know of :(
But @benjja tells me that on some of these you can install coreboot: https://ohnepunktundkomma.org/@benjja/111991771619601081
Something I’m keen to look into.
Good eyes! Yes this is one we got from Telstra on a VDSL NBN connection. Now it’s just a modem in bridge mode with Aussie Broadband
@jimmy90 @zeppo For sure. One major lesson off the top of my head is with ActivityPub is how errors are presented. I’ve written software to fiddle around with ActivityPub and found servers have terrible - if any - error messages. SMTP provides a bunch of standardised status codes that servers can give back to you, along with diagnostic info. In theory this is possible with apub but in practice it is not addressed at all.
@Socsa But what about in practice?
@Aatube Oh I wouldn’t be so sure… we’ve all had those colleagues and vendors where we think they’d import something like this to make our lives miserable ;)
@Mad_Punda it’s funny because the name “overtime” loses meaning when it becomes normal. I hereby propose the name “overovertime” (I’m good at names that’s why I’m a great programmer)
@copygirl Oh man, is non-AI assisted programming old-school already? :(
I get where you’re coming from. But not everyone who falls for this stuff is “stupid”. Some are just vulnerable - maybe just temporarily - and once you’re in, it’s an awful slippery slope.
I don’t know how many are just vulnerable and how many are good Darwin award nominees.
Furthermore, why be sneaky? Spam it loud, spam it proud!
