oceatoon
cool thanks for the info , @cjslep[m] I'd love to help build a visualisation of all these contexts maybe you guys here want to start
#
oceatoon
@jdormit I'll look into it thanks
#
dansup
oceatoon: look forward to it!
#
oceatoon
how should we call the group ? Social Web Working Group ?
#
oceatoon
offcourse once AP is implemented it'll be part of the fediverse
#
dansup
i prefer to call it ap gang, but SocialCG is the name
#
oceatoon
we can all join there and more important promote our respective project and visualize where every one is geographically
#
dansup
I recently started a new AP project, a self hosted status page/uptime monitor. https://state.pixelfed.net
#
oceatoon
App Gang :D I like that
#
oceatoon
it could also be part of an existing group called OAE : Open App Ecosystem if you guys want
#
oceatoon
wow maybe this is a great step cause since you use PHP
#
oceatoon
this might be totaly compatible with our framework
#
oceatoon
it could probably almost work out of the 'inbox'
#
oceatoon
;)
#
dansup
heh, yeah!
#
oceatoon
what DB do you use in the Back End
#
dansup
for https://pixelfed.social mysql.
#
dansup
and I use sqlite for state.pixelfed.net
#
dansup
it supports postgres, sqlite, sql server and mysql
#
oceatoon
hmm we're on nosql mongoDB
#
oceatoon
that might be a blocker
#
dansup
oceatoon: I think there is a laravel mongodb database driver
#
dansup
I know you can add pretty much any database type because the schema is abstracted
#
oceatoon
cool , i'm not familiar with Laravel , but maybe we can connect to talk about it live ? do you care to have a 15min call ?
#
oceatoon
just to see if .... ;)
#
oceatoon
here's the OAE community https://www.communecter.org/#@oae
#
dansup
I don't do phone calls or video chat, only irc :)
#
dansup
I had a few crazy clients that made me want to not have a cell phone lol
#
oceatoon
anyone can join , there are some implementations of activity pub , by commonsPub , value flows, OCE Open collab economy, ...
#
dansup
I wouldn't get your hopes up about commonsPub :)
#
oceatoon
hahaha all initiatives are good as long as they respect the ethics ;)
#
Loqi
hehe
#
oceatoon
after it's just a question of time and motivation
#
oceatoon
and knowledge ;)
#
dansup
they basically forked pleroma and decided to rewrite it without working with the upstream developers for no apparent reason
#
oceatoon
not a good choice
#
dansup
I'm not sure if they are working with any other AP implementation, but the real innovation is with Mastodon, Pleroma, PeerTube, Pixelfed and others

#
oceatoon
we can add common sense to the list then :D
emmat_ joined the channel
#
oceatoon
yep I here you but I'm not judging all these initiatives
#
dansup
Anfora, Peertube and Pixelfed are working on a live streaming ActivityPub extension!
#
dansup
working together on the AP implementation I mean
#
oceatoon
I'm dreaming of a nice and cozy place we can visualize this beautifull innovative community and project
#
oceatoon
we've had activityStreams implemented since 2016 we just never found the time to come back around here
#
oceatoon
but now is the time to connect the dots
#
oceatoon
interfaces are getting better and things moved in paralele
#
oceatoon
yep I saw that
#
oceatoon
but it's missing interactivity and geolocation , availability, competence , knowledge , ressources, needs ...etc
#
oceatoon
the real social and societal part of the fediverse ;)
#
oceatoon
that's what I'm looking for , even if IRC is great :D
#
dansup
oceatoon: I think you are looking for feneas, have you heard of that organization? This is more for technical aspects of ActivityPub
#
oceatoon
I discovered it here
#
oceatoon
interesting , I'll take a look
#
oceatoon
great stuff , I don't see geolocalisation and many other societal features
#
oceatoon
is there any one from feneas here ?
#
oceatoon
I'm loogued in to friendica, is there an overview of the feneas community ?
#
oceatoon
and projects ?
#
oceatoon
I think it's really important to give and get such visibility
#
oceatoon
it gives a sense of understanding and creates the will to join
#
oceatoon
maybe it's just a point of view, what do you think ?
#
dansup
I understand what you want, but again I don't think this is the right channel or organization for that. You want https://riot.im/app/#/room/#feneas:feneas.org
xmpp-social joined the channel
#
dansup
Many of the people here are developers or stakeholders of the ActivityPub spec and only discuss that
#
oceatoon
ok , that could also be a great thing we can model , who is dev, stakeholder etc
#
oceatoon
the real interest is to get test going between our plateforms mastodon, pixelfed, pleroma, peertube
#
dansup
you can test it with https://activitypub.rocks/
#
dansup
cwebber2: the test suite is down :(
#
oceatoon
I guess our first objective is to reference all these devs, using their AP actor endpoint from any of these plateforms and have them visible from communecter and have access to all features
#
oceatoon
that'll be a first objective then
oceatoon, KjetilK and dmitriz joined the channel
#
cwebber2
dansup: yeah I tried to fix it and made it worse and Events (TM) in my life have made the situation worse
#
cwebber2
not unrelated, I am doing a hackathon this weekend with a friend about deployment systems, which was honestly partly prompted by my failure to keep storage systems online :P
#
cwebber2
er, servers online

HI!
#
booteille[m]
I wanted to know if that would be possible, in the future, to allow instances to inform federation they have changed thei domain name?
phoe joined the channel
#
jdormit[m]
That would be tricky
#
jdormit[m]
Since object ids are currently uris
#
jdormit[m]
(in existing implementations)
#
jdormit[m]
Some of the work cwebber is doing involves exploring object ids that are independent of the server they live on, e.g. magnet urls in his case
#
jdormit[m]
But current implementations don't support that - sending an Update to update the ID doesn't really make sense...
#
jdormit[m]
See https://gitlab.com/spritely/golem/blob/master/README.org for cwebber's magnet uri implementation

#
rialtate[m]
I thought maybe updating and adding a link rel but none seem to fit just right. Canonical and latest-version are close but don't carry the implication "but don't get it from here anymore cause it'll be gone". Kind of surprised no such thing exists yet

jdormit[m]
Yeah that would be a sensible approach. Add a link rel in the webfinger response you mean?
