So Inhave fallen behind in my posting on the fitness. I shouldn't have but I did.

This week has been difficult. I get to the gym around 6am and just end up unable to even get out of the car. Also stopped taking my supplements which I need to get back on. I think part of my mood change is related to that. I could be wrong.

Still progressing mostly on weight loss. Adjusting for boots and clothes I am around 223 to 225 at the moment. So there is some success.

Been trying to get my Drupal sites back online. I need to create content for them though and get some help with Themeing. Its just never been easy for me to make things pretty.

Hybridized-concepts.com is especially upsetting since it's the one I had successfully Federated and now I can't get it to even see an accounts keys. Not entirely sure the issue is the module either. There have been permissions issues as well on unrelated things.

So I am trying to fix that. Then I can try and make it look like a 90's-2000's tech blog.

Explications simples du comment du pourquoi le Fediverse.

C'est quoi le Fédivers?

Pour faire simple dans la complication.

Le Fédivers, disons que c'est un océan.

Nous sommes tous inscrits sur une instance telle: OnJase.quebec, Qlub.social, mamot.fr et des milliers d'autres.
Nos instances, c'est nos petites plages aux pourtours de cet océan ou encore des îlots sur l'océan. Chaque plage ou îlot peut se partager le Wifi en un tout.
Nous choisissons nos suivis, nos intérêts, donc ce qui nous plaît. Ces plages ou îlots sont à l'abri des tenanciers comme Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple et compagnie car chaque instance est gérée par des individus différents, donc pratiquement impossible de tous les acquérir.

Loin des commerciaux, YÉÉÉ!

Mais il y a un mais... Certains publicisent ou tentent… Heureusement, on peut l'empêcher car ce n'est pas un algorithme qui choisit. C'est nous qui choisissons ce que l’on désire suivre.

#Mastodon will receive €614K from the #SovereignTechAgency to implement five new features, including #endtoendencryption for #privatemessages. The funding aims to strengthen the fediverse ecosystem and improve safety and resilience. https://coywolf.com/news/social-media/mastodon-to-get-end-to-end-encryption-and-other-features-thanks-to-sovereign-tech-agency/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
Mastodon will get end-to-end encryption for private messages thanks to Sovereign Tech Agency

The Sovereign Tech Agency, commissioned by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, has awarded hundreds of thousands of Euros to Mastodon to address key infrastructure challenges faced within the fediverse ecosystem.

BOJ (Baekjoon Online Judge), a big competitive programming site in Korea, says it's shutting down on April 28. It has been around since 2010 and, as far as I know, has mostly been one person's work the whole time. The notice doesn't say why. The rumor is that the server bills finally got too high.

What caught my eye is that some people in the Korean #fediverse, including @2chanhaeng, are already talking about whether a federated replacement could work, with #ActivityPub coordinating things and volunteer nodes doing the judging. I have no idea if that can really work, since timing differences between machines are a serious problem in competitive programming, and I'm not the right person to help with it. Still, I like that the first reaction was to try building something.

@renchap @sovtechfund Thank you for your hard work! Apropos, if you know anyone trying to automate the fight against disinformation, NATO sometimes offers funding for research in this area (or sometimes adjacent areas of benefit to the organisation). I only mention it because it's the sort of capability that I imagine citizens of the fediverse might enjoy. Thanks again! #NATO #fediverse #activitypub #disinformation

@abeorch @gary

There are certainly issues. I wrote a long thought piece on social experience and travels in #ActivityPub space and with a call-for-reflection to anyone to ponder #fediverse's Future of #SocialNetworking..

The blog post (which is an hour-long read) also stipulates re-centralization risks, and how a #fedi-native protocol implementation of #GrassrootsStandards and #GrassrootsStandardization processes like the #FEP and #SocialCG can help mitigate the #centralization risks.

PS. See also my call-to-participate as #CommonsCustodian in the #standardization of our networking protocols..

@gary From what i understand ( and Im no expert) the theory of #ap is good, the practicality of it in the real world is hightly centralised. #activitypub is not perfect but self hosting a server for you, your family and friends is relatively simple. If you ever feel the need to change friends/family - yournactivitypub server will be the least of your issues.

Id like to see a #activitypub server (amd other self hosted apps running on most home internet connections in my lifetime.

@benpate @evan

So what are all the possible ways they can block things, I wonder now. Not an expert. Couldn't they simply block all of #fediverse based on content-type or other aspects of #ActivityPub network communication? Deep msg inspection, etc. They want to drag their population over to that state-controlled platform I forgot the name of.
