Another curious #ActivityPub / #MastodonAPI issue.
A Mastodon server is sending me a DELETE message.
The delete is because a user has been deleted.
My server tries to validate the HTTP Signature.
My server looks up the deleted user's main-key.
The user has been deleted so the public key 404s.
My server never acknowledges the delete, so the other server keeps sending me the same request.
So… How do I validate the signature of a deleted user?
As I'm sipping my coffee here I notice a weird link at the bottom of Immich's site: "Cursed Knowledge"
This is incredible. It's like Hall of Fame bugs they encountered. More projects should do this.

Immich 2.0.0 is out which is now considered "Stable". I've been running it for 6 months and it's so good I paid for the fake license to support them at $100
They said in their release notes that this license key program has been wildly successful but I wish they were transparent about exactly how well this funding model is working. I'd like to see some real numbers.

What is your favorite Android app for adding point of interest to the OpenStreetMap dataset ?
I gave #CoMaps a try and was able to add a recycling basket but not able to add the tag to encode which kind of material it would accept.
Also tried OsmAnd~ but didn't find a way to add/edit POIs

This is standing ovation stuff by @sundress. Not a single word wasted, and so many quotable bits.

Extremely pleased to announce the release of the ActivityPub Fuzzer! This is a tool that runs in a local development environment and (partially) emulates known ActivityPub software. It can even create a fake local "public fire hose" shaped like what you might see if you hooked your in-development software up to the real Fediverse.
I built this because I wanted ways to test in-progress fedi software for compatibility without actually making it live and breaking things.

I know some folx are surprised to see David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) publicly sharing statements that mirror the rhetoric of white nationalism. I am not. The writing has been on the wall for years.
This is what Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America by Ijeoma Oluo laid out so clearly: the myth of white male supremacy ensures that unremarkable white men can position themselves as thought leaders, innovators, or even DEI champions, while...
This is how I know them: If it's a cheap undershirt, it's a wife beater (also known as an "A-Shirt"). If it's a shirt you're meant to wear it's a tank top.
Had a classmate who went to Walmart and asked an old lady working there "where are the wife beaters at?" and she replied "in jail I hope!". Still makes me laugh

RE: infosec.exchange/@cheri_allian…
Morello is a modified quad-core Neoverse N1 with CHERI support. The UK Government funded a lot of the development and there are a few tens of them left over that don't yet have homes.
They look like real computers (ATX case, HDMI out). The under my desk runs CheriBSD (FreeBSD fork), KDE with its Wayland compositor and a bunch of userspace apps, with everything including the GPU drivers memory safe. It can also run AArch64 binaries, but that's less fun.
If you're doing interesting research that would benefit from CHERI or if you are looking to evaluate building products on CHERI systems, reach out to the CHERI Alliance.
CHERI RISC-V (the 'Y' base) is near to standardisation, so there should be RISC-V CHERI application cores available fairly soon, but the Neoverse N1 is a fairly advanced microarchitecture (designed for server chips) and it will probably take a while for RISC-V chips to equal it in performance. It was a fairly rushed conversion to CHERI, so has a few significant performance artefacts that won't be there in a production chip, but this is still probably the best opportunity to get a desktop CHERI system for at least the next year or two.

#LambdaMOO
(...guess it'll wait until *after* I announce that I discover some outstandingly stupid mistake, so... time to get this out of the way: )
I have now dropped LambdaMOO 1.9.0alpha
Should I make it to an actual ready-for-prime-time release, this will be the first since 1.8.1, roughly 25 years ago.
I'm looking for anyone *already* running a MOO instance of some sort (*) who needs a path forward (I figure for each of the 3 or 4 I know about there should be others I don't, which should add up to at least several)
to kick tires and try it on on your own platform
and maybe others that I can't do myself.
(*) and perhaps other folks who build unix software for fun, who are bored today
