i'm moving my stuff off GitHub because i'm sick of Microsoft's shit. today's task is
slurp.the official project home page has been https://catgirl.codes/slurp for a bit, but now that's also the package URL as far as Go is concerned. this will be a breaking change for anyone who depended on
slurpinternals, which i hope is nobody. there's some sort of package renaming directive you can use ingo.modif you did.the public Git repo and issue tracker are now on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/vyr/slurp
if you can, please donate to Codeberg. i just did (again). they're a great option for open source devs like me who aren't SREs and don't want the overhead of self-hosting all that stuff, and running a service like that isn't free.

Hi Nutomic, thanks for joining the forum.
While I have you, I wanted to ask you about the removal of audience from Lemmy. I believe the rationale for it was that it was not used outside of Lemmy, but both Piefed (rimu@piefed.social) and NodeBB use it.
I still think the explicit use of the audience property is more helpful than not.
I discovered another use case for it, although it is a bit of an edge case. Last night a user from lemmy.ca posted to activitypub@community.nodebb.org. Here, there are no followers to that group actor, so it did not federate here. However, one of the relays this site subscribes to did Announce the topic, and when it arrived here, NodeBB could not accurately determine whether the topic/post _actually belonged to activitypub@community.nodebb.org.
Specifically, it is because sometimes users (on Mastodon or other sites) mention group actors but don't intend for the post to be made there. It is not a strong enough signal.
But audience being explicitly set does provide that strong signal. I've updated NodeBB's code to trust the group actor if located in audience.

@carloshr as always, my best ideas are the ones that seem so obvious to me that i figure someone else surely has already had them

@jonny what a great idea! 🤯
-
what if a torrent contains self-authenticating signed activitypub objects???? what if we could jump back and forth between federation and p2p?

@jonny oh shi

this FEP is trying to be as minimal as possible: just get a representation of an object. but follow-up FEP wills spec out handling other parts of the protocol, e.g. BEP 0039 style updating using object integrity proofs. so tentatively butterfly memeing "is this mutable torrents"

torrents are just bundles of hashes and a file layout! they (or v2 torrents at least) are actually a really nice way to do content addressing for files and directories. so when combined with the rest of activitypub, e.g. being able to do updates, sign objects, extend them with additional vocabularies, then you get something very interesting indeed....

Here's another #FEP for representing torrents on activitypub :)
short, sweet, and with a reference implementation and tests!
towards a federated bittorrent tracker with #sciop !
