    @cwicseolfor @juergen_hubert@sunkencastles.com It's the standard output that the #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress generated - you can see the original article here:https://sunkencastles.com/2025/10/27/a-long-history-of-ableism-the-changeling-narrative/

    One consequence of trying to separate identity hosting from the other components of the system is that it makes the other components harder to bootstrap. If I run just one component of my instance in isolation, how can I authenticate to it in order to configure/manage/test it, if I don't have an identity that I can use?The answer might be to use a did:self identifier. The flow would look something like Management CLI tool generates a JWT describing a did:self identifier, and stores the private key locally Admin uses scp or something to copy this JWT to the right place on the server The server now has the ID's public key and so the CLI tool can prove that it "owns" the identifierWhich seems like a reasonable fix for the classic problem of "how do you create the first user", and also a useful fallback for when the system is too badly borked to be able to look up real identities.Another interesting property of did:self is that seems to be possible to add extra metadata, such as a human-readable name, to the ID, by using standard JWT claims - without needing the data to appear in the DID document.Of course these identities will only be visible to the server they're copied to, not to the whole network, but that shouldn't be a major problem.(Cue the peanut gallery, with their suggestions of "it's easy, just do so-and-so", because everything looks easy when you take it out of context...)#ActivityPubDev #FediDev

    RE: https://colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/68db167a-0f16-f630-b7bd-f9aaad3beb7c.jsonHey you! Would you like to learn how #ActivityPub works?I have a *single-file* ActivityPub server which can be used to run bots.It supports quotes, mentions, hashtags, and most features of the modern #Fediverse. You can play around by uploading one PHP file and one .htaccess file to your website.Get started at:https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

    Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.This is a really magical, special place.Happy New Year, everyone!
