I set it up for free to consolidate most Fediverse hiring posts. it updates every 24 hours. Feel free to use it if it helps your search!

(Don't worry if it looks blank to you, it just means no one from your server follows it yet. Follow the account and its videos will start gradually showing up on your server too.)

You can also follow Buck's non-video account at @ianrbuck@mspsocial.net

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @silverpill@mitra.social (2026-08-03 17:46:17) The biggest problem for peer to peer ActivityPub is the fact that ActivityPub is primarily a "pull" protocol. You need to fetch a remote actor before interacting with it. This is not feasible in the environment where nodes are intermittently online.

What if we used a special activity to request objects? I've described this idea in more detail in Asynchronous object retrieval:

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/aef6/fep-aef6.md

I think this mechanism, if combined with self-authenticating objects, should make ActivityPub compatible with store and forward protocols.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @peertube@framapiaf.org (2026-08-03 16:21:56) @MakerTube Hi,

We're designing a feature to reduce storage costs for admins. The idea is to apply rules to videos based on specific criteria.

Rules can be:
* Delete all resolutions except max one
* Move files in another object storage provider/system (glacier...)

Criteria can be:
* No views since x days
* Age > x days

I'd really like to hear your feedback on that

The Fediverse is awesome and it's because of all you awesome folks on the Fediverse! Thanks y'all.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @silverpill@mitra.social (2026-08-03 06:56:12) I added a list of recommended libraries to the ActivityPub developer guide:

https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md#libraries

- activity (Go, used in GoToSocial)
- Fedify (JavaScript, used in Hollo and Ghost)
- Fedipub (Ruby, used in Manyfold)
- activitypub_federation (Rust, used in Lemmy)
- APx (Rust, used in Mitra)

This list only includes libraries that are actually used somewhere. Libraries that are not used, or used in projects with too few users are not included.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe (2026-08-02 09:03:33) I've moved to a new instance and thought it might be a good idea for a new introduction.

I'm an old-school Linux user (30+ years) and just getting back into the BSDs. FreeBSD, specifically, but I'm interested in learning about all of them! I'm a former Unix Hardware Engineer for Digital Equipment Corporation, the best company I ever worked for. I miss that job every single day. Over the years, I've worked with Unix in the hardware space, Unix support, a bit of development, and even Information Security. I was laid off a few years ago from an IT job and have had a hard time finding new work. I think it's because of my age, but I gave up caring a year or so ago. I'm now working for a non-profit. I enjoy the work but do miss working in the IT industry. At nearly 60 years old, not sure if I'll ever have the chance to return to IT.

I'm a bicycle commuter and public transit user and advocate. I'm not a fan of cars but understand that here in the US, it's hard not to have one since our cities have been rebuilt around the car. I wish more funding was put into better and safer pedestrian, bike, and public transit. I'll probably talk a bit about that in my posts.

I've been vegan and an animal rights advocate for more than 30 years.

I'm also not a fan of AI for all of the horrible ethical reasons. I could go into all of the reasons I'm no fan, but that would take a long blog post and I don't want to put you all to sleep.

Anyway, I'm happy to be a part of this instance, and I hope you all enjoy my posts about bikes, public transit, Linux, Open Source Software, IT Security, Privacy, and the BSDs. I'm a Socialist, but will try my best to stay away from politics.

Version 1.6.2 released!
Changes
The list of posts written in FediSuite is now split and switchable via button tabs between: Scheduled Posts, Published Posts, and Failed Posts. Each of these lists can be filtered.
Collapsing the sidebar previously hid the submenu under "Admin Area." This has been fixed.
Version 1.6.1 already brought a complete redesign of FediSuite.

If you like FediSuite and think this project deserves a bit of support, feel free to show it with toots and boosts across the Fediverse! Of course, there's also the option of financial support. Just use the yellow buttons in the FediSuite app or on the FediSuite website! Thank you very much!

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @silverpill@mitra.social (2026-08-02 06:17:46) I've updated the section describing the authentication of embedded objects in FEP-fe34 (Origin-based security model):

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/commit/9ad3767987dae7e51d647768b655e93b82881343/fep/fe34/fep-fe34.md#embedding

It now covers the case where a signed embedded object is attributed to another local actor. That happens in federated groups and conversation containers where signed activities may be wrapped in Announce or Add activities.

Previously, the recommendation was to reject such activities when submitted via C2S API. Now the FEP recommends authenticating embedded objects (e.g. by looking up their IDs).

Another important change: anonymous objects are not ownerless anymore. Such object has the same owner as its parent object. It also inherits origin from its parent object, though that follows from the definition.
