i don't know about this decision:

It is suggested that LitePub implementations supply a locally hosted version of the LitePub JSON-LD Context as their @context.

what i see in practice (N > 100) is the same "litepub-0.1.jsonld" context but different URLs. all of these identical contexts have to be fetched, parsed, cached (hopefully).

it seems wasteful.

crystal 1.3.0 is released!

#crystal

new project sunday... the school rules engine.

i'm going to rewrite all of the logic for handling fediverse activities in kistec as rules, and then expose a simple ui for managing those rules so that users can more easily customize their instance. want to change what shows up in the timeline? no problem!

#crystal #school #rulesengine #ktistec #fediverse

SUPERHOT was short and sweet.

that’s not how i was supposed to say it…

aaaaand i've tagged the v1.0.0 release of ktistec! 🎉 🎊 🥂

the last push was for greater compatibility with other fediverse servers—it took quite a bit of yak-shaving to get it done.

i also released a docker image if you want to try it out:

docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 toddsundsted/ktistec:latest

enjoy!

#ktistec

i've tested ktistec compatibility with:

• mastodon
• peertube
• pixelfed
• lemmy
• write.as

many things work—follows in both directions and creating/updating notes (AKA toots, etc.)—but there's lots of room for improvement. lemmy, for example, announces activities instead of forwards activities. i'm working on 1.0, but in the next major release, i'll build server-specific extensions to handle more of these kind of issues.

i created a few issues in other repos:

• https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3049
• https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3050

and worked around a few issues that haven't quite rolled out:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/1962

and made many other concessions for compatibility.
