  • @macgirvin that's interesting, I hadn't thought of using punycode. Like @edent@mastodon.social my exposure to it was strictly limited to domains (and even then only to counter domain spoofing)

  • @edent@mastodon.social -- It's also used for the username component of email addresses iirc; as these are originally also specified as 7-bit US-ASCII. So I convert local usernames with idn. Just something I did out of habit really. You can use UTF-8 if you want, so I'm only saying that punycode seems to federate better based on my experience. We tested this with a bunch of fediverse software at the time and it just worked. We'll accept either.

    I thought Punycode was only for domain names. Are you saying you also use it for the user part?

  • @edent@mastodon.social -- I've just tested and that account also works fine with Hubzilla. I will mention that your implementation in this case uses url-encoded usernames while ours uses punycode. They should be able to interact just fine, but the fact that there are multiple ways to arrive at a solution could cause a bit of confusion for implementers.

    You'll need to use punycode if you wish to federate with the diaspora protocol or email or any other projects or protocols which restrict the character set for usernames. So it might end up being a more flexible solution in the long run and should work fine with every other fediverse project today. ASCII-restricted software will just use the xn-- name; and all their links and buttons should work fine.

    Url-encoding should also work, but perhaps not so universally and easily as punycode; as witnessed by the number of issues documented in this thread.

  • @apps look @julian isn't this sorta what you were just talking about with hashtag combining schemes

    Yes, that would really help. I will set the priority in the Weblate project for the part used to understand tags inside messages. Thank you for your continuous support on projects :)

  • @edent@mastodon.social -- Just looked again... this was first introduced as a hidden feature in redmatrix around 2013-2014, and so may also be available currently in Hubzilla (behind the "system.unicode_usernames" feature toggle). There were some major changes in 2019 that to my knowledge weren't ever backported. I think these only applied to local usernames and not remote usernames, but the functionality in hubzilla still might need to be verified.

  • The map combines community reports from the and shelters and veterinaries from loaded in real time as you zoom in.
    PawFed is built to be a community project, not a one person effort. There will be many ways to contribute beyond posting reports.
    If you find the project useful, don't hesitate to share it. Thank you. (3/3)

    @julian yeah, heavy on people who look more at the 'growth hackability' coefficient and profitability, than moral compass or the amount of soul you have to sell.But there are roughly 2 crowds on HN. A sizable group is comparable to value-aligned folks you find here on the fediverse. They are the ones making critical notes, and ensure many of the good articles pop up on the front page.And as a humane tech activist it is relatively easy to 'bump' the positive messages that blissful unaware devs need to see, to raise awareness on things. Esp. if you are in Europe it is relatively easy to get things to the front page that highlight the big problems of our modern tech.

    #datocurioso ¿Creías que el #fediverso se limitaba solo al microblogging de #Mastodon? ¡Piénsatelo de nuevo!El fediverso es un cosmos interconectado regido por el protocolo #ActivityPub, y alberga un sinfín de mundos más allá de las publicaciones cortas. Puedes encontrar alternativas descentralizadas para casi cualquier servicio centralizado que conozcas: ¿Buscas compartir imágenes al estilo Instagram? Existe #Pixelfed.¿Anhelas un espacio para vídeos como YouTube? Tienes a tu disposición #PeerTube, que usa tecnología P2P para aligerar la carga.¿ quieres compartir videos cortos al estilo tik Tok? Prueba #loops!¿Prefieres los agregadores de enlaces al estilo Reddit? #Lemmy es tu destino. ¿ buscas compartir tu #podcast? #funkwhale es a donde debes ir.¿ te gusta escribir o quieres hacer un blog? Intenta con #WriteAs¡Y eso solo es la punta del iceberg!El fediverso no es un solo lugar, sino una constelación de plataformas que interactúan entre sí, una red de redes libres, abiertas y federadas, permitiendo a un usuario de Mastodon o de algún otro servicio federado seguir e interactuar con alguien en PeerTube o Pixelfed, etc. ¡La verdadera magia radica en la interoperabilidad y la libertad de elección! #SoftwareLibre #Tecnologia #Privacidad ✨‍♂️🎙️
