Bit of a treat to start the week: someone had actually uploaded an #Azorius Ascendant vs #Rakdos Bloodsport gameplay video to Youtube! The reviews are extremely polarising though: this is both the best and the worst #MTG #Precon from #Ravnica block.

Theme Deck Review Compendium: Dissension “Azorius Ascendant”

The best theme deck of Ravnica block? Or the worst? Is it unfocused and weak, or is it just extremely skill intensive? Lots of contrasting opinions on this one.

This goes back to July. Good read then, and still a good read now.

Why? Why not? and the "Becauses" are included as well :)

Deduping

Finally got around to fixing a common annoyance. There's four different groups covering "technology" and the same link gets posted to all of them every time. Th...

Status of the #activitypub in #azorius.

Figured out, I think, some of the weirdness with kbin. Instead of using the group actor, it just picks a random person to announce new posts. Not the author, not anyone related, just apparently anyone on the server. It works in the sense that the post arrives, but it will look a bit weird if you look at any of these people's profiles. I mean, whatever.

Added a few fixes and workarounds so federation with lotide should work pretty well now. Not a lot of instances, but the code base is pretty simple.

I leave you with this gem.

+ u, err := url.Parse(keyid) + if err != nil { + dlog.Printf("error parsing keyid: %s", err) + return + } + u.Path = "/" + strings.TrimLeft(u.Path, "/") + keyid = u.String()

Discovery is kinda different on forum vs microblog. On the honknet, you see people interacting with other people, and expand your circle. Azorius is structured very differently, and there's very little to see on the periphery. Have resorted to browsing lemmy communities.I still prefer to avoid indexes and directories, as they tend to reinforce popularity is popular, but I've got a few ideas to make it easier to see new stuff.
Looks like lemmy is another one that says 400 when it receives an unexpected activity type. The easy fix is easy, just drop it without retry since it will never work, but I've also seen 400 as a result of misconfiguration. So when somebody screws up all the messages that could have been resent after fixing will have been dropped instead.

#Azorius is a new part of the #threadiverse started by Ted Unangst (@tedu) of notorious #Honk fame.

It is already federating with #Kbin (https://azorius.net/g/[email protected]) and #Lemmy (https://azorius.net/g/[email protected])

It is written in #Go and is under active development (https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/azorius/h)
