I spent few hours hacking together a proof of concept authorization for @panoramax using an existing OAuth2 access token from OpenStreetMap. Basically, I'm already logged in, so why should I log the second time in a Panoramax instance?
Partly solved the issue that @MapComplete had, and circumvented by having a single user uploading everything, adding original authors to an Exif tag.

It is now *six* years ago since I first blogged about how the #QUIC API situation was going to slow down QUIC (and HTTP/3) deployment. Unfortunately I was entirely correct.

I trust you've heard by now that HTTP/3 is coming. It is the next destined HTTP version, targeted to get published as an RFC in July 2019. Not very far off. HTTP/3 will not be done over TCP.daniel.haxx.se
do you have any ballpark numbers? How much slower and resource hungry are we talking about?
+10%? +100%? ×10?
yooooooo that's impressive. Not sure if ngtcp2 is impressively low or OpenSSL is impressively high, but I guess the latter.
Thanks for elaborating!

NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
Today's the day! :tada:
After nearly a full year in development, NodeBB v4.0.0 has landed, bringing federation between NodeBB instances (and a connection to the wider fediverse of social media) to forum software.
Fedi-what?
Fediverse! Here's a TechCrunch primer about it, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. All you need to know is that NodeBB plugs in to a wider social network so that you don't have to cultivate an audience, they're already there.
The genesis
It was back in mid-2023 when I had the initial idea of interconnecting NodeBB forums. Back then, I had far smaller ambitions... I wanted a singular NodeBB to be able to communicate with other forums running NodeBB. To do that, we'd need to build out a centralized service to act as a bridge between instances, and corresponding slim clients on individual installs to consume the relayed data. At the time, concept like decentralization were not even part of my thought process.
It was during this period when I was doing my research that I stumbled on Mastodon, and later, ActivityPub, the protocol that powers it all. Since then, it's been one wild ride getting NodeBB to speak the same language.
Funding
Soon after dipping my toes into all that Mastodon had to offer, I discovered the NLNet Foundation, and their corresponding fund — NGI Zero Core. With the promise of funding, NodeBB could fully commit to implementing the protocol in short order, instead of piece by piece over time. We sent in an application and were delighted to be approved for the August 2023 call.
Their funding was instrumental in providing the financial stability to experiment with ActivityPub and to participate in developer circles, such as the SWICG, FediForum, and much more.
The fund continues to operate, perhaps you could benefit, or donate to the cause. It has certainly made a difference to NodeBB.
Federate, or not, it's your choice
NodeBB v4 comes shipped with the capability to interact with other NodeBB forums and any other ActivityPub-speaking software, right out of the box. We opted to make this a core feature instead of a plugin, since there were many changes made to core to support even the concept of accepting content from outside itself.
To that end, any users upgrading from v3.x will automatically have federation disabled, in order to reduce surprise. Any new forums will federate automatically.
You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub).
Even after turning federation on, how you use it shapes how well connected you will be. There is no centralized authority artificially boosting your content, so the name of the game is establishing two-way follow relationships to other sites.
The ActivityPub Equalizer
We're not alone in this journey to interoperate with other decentralized services. We're not even the only forum software to attempt to do so.
- Discourse has a working plugin.
- Ghost is building out in the open.
I specifically highlight these two because they both started in the early 2010s, same as NodeBB. It's always been a bit of an informal competition between us, and we always checked in on what the others were doing (growth-wise, pricing-wise, etc.) Truth be told, I don't think the ghost team ever really noticed NodeBB, but I digress...
The funny thing about ActivityPub is that at the end of the day, the overarching goal of seamless communication breaks down any barriers between competing organizations.
NodeBB and Discourse have been vying for the exact same market share (forums, community-building, self-started or enterprise) for over 10 years, and it was only after ActivityPub came around that the dev teams even started talking to one another.
Funny how that works.
So how does it all work?
Our documentation portal has been updated with the latest information about the ActivityPub functionality in v4.
If you have any questions about how it works or how to configure some aspect of it, please don't hesitate to reach out in the corresponding v4 support thread.
If you run NodeBB, the quickest way to see this in action is to upgrade to v4, and then paste this post's URL into your search bar. It should show up automatically, and you should be able to read and reply to it, directly from your own forum. Neat!

This is psychological pollution under the guise of caring. Saying this to me, in response to MY work, is a classic mastodon experience. Express your despair somewhere else if you need to but understand that it is profoundly threatening to dump this into the mentions of women in science. It accomplishes nothing but forcing me to imagine my life under threat.

Tamas G reshared this.
Here's an example page which does work correctly with VoiceOver, where the "Tuesday", "Wednesday" and "Thursday" links cause the corresponding headings to be correctly focused because the `<h2>` elements have `tabindex="-1"`.
I'll also note that the links on the In-Process page don't actually work correctly in Chrome on Windows either, even though NVDA gives the impression that they do. If you activate e.g. "Add-on survey" and then press NVDA+Tab, you hear:
"NV Access | In-Process 20th January 2025 document focused read only"
... instead of:
"Add-on survey heading focused"
In other words, the page scrolls and NVDA announces the heading, but keyboard focus doesn't actually move there. `tabindex="-1"` will also fix this.
We still run into instances where skip links targeting headings fail to provide an equitable experience without the target being focusable. It's possible that in such cases, there is something else wrong on the page. At the same time, adding the tabindex fixes the problem, allows SR users to determine the new focus point instead of it being on the body, and provides a visible indication of focus for people who benefit from that (particularly if coupled with :focus-visible).
I think it's good to know if a given technique should no longer technically be required especially if it leads to knowledge of an Apple bug (that they won't fix), but I maintain that there's an easy way to improve this situation with no negative side effects, and so whether it should need the workaround or not is practically moot for users.
On the other hand, we've now spent more time talking about the problem than it would've taken me to read the whole page so... shrug :)
@jyarbrough @jcsteh @marco Moving focus can be a sticky topic because it causes an outline/ring to appear around the thing that receives it (at least on accessible sites). Many web designers for some reason have an aversion to this happening when a focus change is triggered with a mouse, and this may explain why browser developers have been hesitant to do more than just scrolling for skip links.
Then again, this is a complete guess and could be wildly off the mark.
