Dear friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire community,
Unfortunately, sometimes things in life do not go as planned. Becoming an adult also means learning to accept this and to set priorities. Over the past few months I have had some family matters that required my attention. I waited as long as possible before making a final decision, but the moment has now come.
I have informed the BSDCan team that, sadly, I will have to withdraw from the event and will not be able to present my talk.
BSD conferences have become some of the most important events of the year for me. They bring joy, positivity, and motivation. When one ends, I already start looking forward to the next with enthusiasm. In Zagreb I said goodbye to everyone with "see you in Ottawa". This year, unfortunately, that will not happen.
The only consolation is that the situation fortunately seems to be moving toward a resolution, although more slowly than expected. Because of this, I cannot in good conscience keep things uncertain and hope that everything will work out in time. I need to take a step back for now, already feeling the enthusiasm for the next EuroBSDCon.
@stefano Family (and yourself) comes first

@stefano I'm sorry to hear this, Stefano. I'm sure you were looking forward to it, but health and family come first and you're definitely setting the right priorities here.
It's good to hear that things are improving, albeit slowly. So fingers crossed they will continue to improve and you'll be able to attend the next conference.

@stefano That’s a good and healthy choice.
Wishing you and your family all the best.

@stefano
I think you've did a right decision!
Take care of your family and yourself. This is clearly most important!♥️ -

@stefano Hugs and respect to you, friend from-over-the-alps. Time will make these meetings possible again, be it in person or even from remote. You still are a “visible” person in the community. The barista the world wants to hire desperately, but who will not resign from the BSDCafe duties any day. #strong and #smiling barista.

@dexter this presentation is quite "physical" as I wanted to show how it works using a device, live. So maybe it's better to save it for another, future conference 🙂

How can we trust them?
When I found Algorithms with TypeScript I told myself "wow, that's an interesting book!" And the premises are really catching:This book grew out of a simple observation: most software engineers use algorithms and data structures every day, yet many feel uncertain about the fundamentals. … Algorithms with TypeScript bridges that gap. It presents the core algorithms and data structures from

Tsuzuri(綴り)が実運用(外部からのフォローや外部への記事の配信など)ができるようになったので、これをベースに拡張すればお一人様向けのActivityPub実装を作れそうだなと考えている
Tsuzuriにタイムラインや通知、フォロー、公開範囲の対応などをすれば一通り使えるものにはなるのではないかと
通知やフォローなどはTsuzuriの既存機能を拡張すれば良いからそこまで実装コストはかからなさそう
ただタイムラインや公開範囲などは考えることも多いと思うので、そこの見通しが立たない限りは実装しないかもしれない
Mastodonの引用機能やMisskeyなどの絵文字リアクションまで考慮するとなるとより難しくなる
ただ、お一人様向けのActivityPub実装が増えること自体は良いことだと思うので、うまくやる方法を考えたい

Per treni & c. ho una prepagata¹ che uso appositamente per le cose online e, non dovendo ricevere soldi da nessuno ho ritenuto inutile avere paypal.¹la prepagata è di poste e ha anche l'iban per i bonifici e non è legata ad un conto corrente (anche se effettivamente ne ho uno sempre con poste).

Federated Replies and Reactions in Madblog
Engage with the Web from plain text files
Madblog is founded on a simple principle: a blog is just a collection of #markdown files in a folder. No databases, no logins, no client-side bloat — just files.
The recently implemented support for both Webmentions and ActivityPub add an extra appeal to this approach: now those text files can federate, they can send mentions to Wordpress blogs or Mastodon accounts, and you can visualize mentions, comments and reactions from other corners of the Web directly under your articles.
But after receiving in the past few days a bunch of reactions on my blog that I couldn't interact with, which forced me to fall back on my standard Fediverse account to send replies and likes, I've decided to take the "everything is a file" philosophy a step further.
Now from #madblog you can also reply to comments and react to posts across the Fediverse - all from plain text files in your content folder.
Replying to CommentsWhen someone comments on your article from Mastodon or another ActivityPub-compatible services, their message appears on your blog.
Now you can also respond directly from your blog.
Or you can reply to any other post on the Fediverse or mention anyone, without those posts cluttering your blog's front page (I've learned to avoid this fatal design mistake made by e.g. Medium).
How it worksCreate a Markdown file under replies/<article-slug>/:
[//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@alice/123456789) Thanks for the kind words, Alice! I'm glad the tutorial helped. @alice@mastodon.socialSave the file, and Madblog automatically:
Publishes your reply to the Fediverse as a threaded response Notifies Alice on her Mastodon instance Displays the reply on your blog, nested under her original commentYour reply lives in your content folder. Just like with your articles, you can version replies and reactions on git, synchronize them over SyncThing or Nextcloud Notes, or run some analysis scripts on them that would just operate on text files.
Replying to repliesConversations can go as deep as you want. Reply to a reply by pointing reply-to at the previous message's URL:
[//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@alice/123456790) Great question! I'll write a follow-up post about that. @alice@mastodon.socialThe threading is preserved both on your blog and across the Fediverse.
[Example of a nested thread rendered on Madblog]
(I hope that @julian@fietkau.social and @liaizon@social.wake.st won't mind for using a screenshot from their conversation on my blog 🙂)
Remember to mention your mentionsAn important implementation note: if you're replying to someone else's ActivityPub post, it's important that you also mention them in the reply, otherwise your reply will be rendered under their comment but they may not be notified.
Usually you don't have to worry about this on Mastodon because the UI will automatically pre-fill the participating accounts in a sub-thread when you hit Reply.
But this is something to keep in mind when your posts are just text files.
Your replies are articles in their own rightEven though anything under replies/ won't appear on your blog's home page, it doesn't mean that it must be rendered just like a humble rectangle in a crowded comments section.
By clicking View full reply you get redirected to a separate page where the reply is rendered as a blog article, and its comments sections consists in the sub-tree of the reactions that spawned from that specific reply.
[Example of a Madblog reply rendered as a blog article, with its own sub-thread of reactions]
Liking PostsSometimes a reply is too much — you just want to show appreciation. Now you can "like" any post on the Fediverse with a simple metadata header.
Standalone likesCreate a file under replies/ with just a like-of header:
[//]: # (like-of: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321)This publishes a Like activity to the Fediverse. Bob sees the notification, and your blog records the interaction.
Like and commentWant to like and say something? Combine both:
[//]: # (like-of: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321) [//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321) This is such a great point! Bookmarking for later. @bob@mastodon.socialBob gets both the like and your reply as a threaded response.
Unlisted PostsNot everything needs to appear on your blog's front page. Files under replies/ without reply-to and like-of headers become "unlisted" posts — they're published to the Fediverse but don't clutter your blog index.
Perfect for quick thoughts, threads, or conversations that don't warrant a full article.
[//]: # (title: Thoughts of the day) Quick thought: I've been experimenting with writing all my Fediverse posts as Markdown files. It's oddly satisfying to `git log` my social media history. Guestbook RepliesYour blog's guestbook works the same way. Reply to guestbook entries by placing files under replies/_guestbook/:
[//]: # (reply-to: https://someone.blog/mention/123) @alice@example.com welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Editing and DeletingChanged your mind? Edit the file and an Update activity is sent. Delete the file and your reply is removed from the Fediverse too.
Accidentally liked something? Remove the like-of line (or delete the file) and an Undo Like is published.
Your content, your rules.
Getting Started Enable ActivityPub in your config.yaml: link: https://blog.example.com enable_activitypub: true activitypub_username: blog # Only specify these if you want your ActivityPub domain to be different from your blog domain # activitypub_link: https://example.com # activitypub_domain: example.com Install Madblog From pip: pip install madblog From Docker: docker pull quay.io/blacklight/madblog Run Madblog from your Markdown folder (it is recommended that your articles are stored under <data-dir>/markdown): From a pip installation: madblog /path/to/data From Docker: docker run -it \ -p 8000:8000 \ -v "/path/to/config.yaml:/etc/madblog/config.yaml" \ -v "/path/to/data:/data" \ quay.io/blacklight/madblog Any text file you create under markdown/ becomes a blog article. Any text file you create under replies/ becomes an unlisted post, a reply or a like reaction.Check the README for detailed configuration options.
Happy blogging!
