#Fediverse #federation

As much as we wanted to release a stable version on Oct 17th, we can admit its not production ready quite yet.

We do not want to sacrifice quality and your expectations just so we can say it was finished in 6 months.

We appreciate your support, and can't wait for tomorrow! ❤️

libssh

"holy balls. this is incredible

the [libssh] vulnerability literally works like this:

me: "can i log in?"

server: "no. you need a password."

me: "hacker voice i'm in"

server: "login successful. you're in""

Not actually as evangelistic as it sounds. This is really good hacker anthropology. "How #Lisp Became God's Own Programming Language" (https://twobithistory.org/2018/10/14/lisp.html)

I just starred https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub

An RSS to ActivityPub converter.

I would say one of the biggest reasons pixelfed is so well known is because of how much I talk about it. I try to post about it daily across a few accounts.

If you are building a new activitypub project, try to do daily or weekly development updates and keep your project in the minds of as many people you can!

We finally released #PeerTube v1!

https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Please upgrade ASAP: it fixes a vulnerability regarding HTTP signature.

Until the end of the year, we'll work on v1 support/bugfixes and add some moderation tools https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/1253#issuecomment-429517470

Have a nice week 😋

The development focus now is v1.1 with better moderation tools ( https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/1253 ).

You can follow PT accounts on Mastodon, e.g. @documentaries

Just put a PT account URL in the search box on Mastodon.

A while back I built a site that converts RSS feeds to ActivityPub actors that you can subscribe to from Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compliant social networks: https://bots.tinysubversions.com/convert/

I've now also published the source code: https://github.com/dariusk/activtypub-to-rss

Choice quote:
If Bitcoin were to cease trading tomorrow, 0.5% of the world’s electricity demand would simply disappear. This is roughly equivalent to the output of ten coal-fired power plants, emitting 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year – which would cover one year’s worth of the carbon emission cuts required to limit temperature rises this century to 2C.

OMG.

Spritely: towards secure social spaces as virtual worlds https://dustycloud.org/blog/spritely/

I posted about this already on here, so you may have seen a bit about it before https://octodon.social/@cwebber/100866264755512782 but this goes into more depth. Onwards and upwards towards exciting new directions of the fediverse...

PeerTube, federated video streaming platform, reached first stable release. It’s in the final testing stage, the official announcement is due Monday.

https://fediverse.party/en/post/peertube-stable-1.0.0/

When trying to make sense of all the federated social networks or #fediverse I came across this. It reads like a who is who in the fediverse.
