I just released v2.0.0 of ktistec. It's just bug fixes on top of the last prerelease, but it's much improved over v1.0.0. The README and CHANGELOG have more detail but features and improvements include:

• Content filtering
• Support for more ActivityPub object types
• Support for following threads, hashtags and mentions
• Collection and presentation of server performance metrics
• Setting the application name in the webmanifest (thanks JayVii)
• Mastodon-compatible user profile metadata (thanks relistan)
• Links to the pages of remote actors (thanks vrthra)
• Support for handling 303s in searches (thanks winks)
• Automatic database backups

I'm working on user experience enhancements for the next release: I've just finished streaming updates to the front-end—no more refreshing the page to see if you have new posts in your timeline (and new notifications).

#ktistec

for some reason lemmy.ml is suddenly hammering my server with activities from the !opensource@lemmy.ml channel (which i do follow). it looks like hundreds of like, announce, etc. activity pub activities in rapid succession.

🤔

@lindsay testing... i received your follow from gts to ktistec...

ktistec is fast but i'm thinking about making the responses to obvious vulnerability scans artificially sloooow... (opt-in, of course.)

#ktistec

#crystallang developers… what can you count on being safe to access during a call to #finalize?

i have some class-level state that i’d like to modify via a class variable but even reading values via that variable seems to cause problems that eventually lead to crashes later in the program. (typically index out of bounds during some later garbage collection run.)

sometimes, while traveling, i end up someplace with really poor internet connectivity, and i realize then how useless a lot of the web is...
