I wrote a little post about how I'm moving all my personal projects to @Codeberg . Hopefully it'll be useful to anyone else thinking about doing the same.
Migrating to Codeberg
Github has always been a very enticing code forge. You get a lot of things for free. Code hosting, decent issue management, Gists, Pages, CI etc. Of course, all of these things are also there to make the service more sticky. They’ve moved the baseline expectations of the services a forge should provide for free so far up it’s hard for entities without VC capital or Microsoft’s war chest to provide an enticing, competing offer.
Every Python module performance announcement: we’ve (re)written it in Rust.
After toiling away at this for a few months, I'm releasing two new Go projects for the fediverse today:
- longdistance, a JSON-LD processor.
- pana, an ActivityStreams library built on longdistance.
I built these projects with the hope to make it easier for folks to get started building on the fediverse themselves. You can read a bit about this on my blog.
(If you happen to have computer touchers in your followers, I would appreciate a boost.)
If you’re in the mood for a podcast about union organising in tech:
Organising Tech in Sweden is a limited podcast series exploring union organising in Swedish tech companies. Join us as we sit down with some of the people involved in the campaigns to win collective bargaining rights at two of Sweden's tech unicorns, Klarna and Spotify.
(I’m not involved but a friend is putting this together. Boosts would be appreciated.)
@dolphin Would it be possible for you to also redirect /.well-known/webfinger on dolphin-emu.org to social.dolphin-emu.org, like you’re doing for /.well-known/host-meta for example?
Redirecting webfinger only by mentioning the proper URL on the host-meta endpoint response is a legacy-ish Mastodonism that not all instances implement when trying to lookup folks on other instances.
It’s making it hard to search for you and thus follow you from alternative implementations.

Matthew HaugheyPagerDuty is laying off 7% of their workforce and the announcement includes a quote from MLK and it's just *chef's kiss* perfect and why the show Silicon Valley is no longer on because there is nothing left to parody about the tech industry https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/improving-pagerdutys-operational-resilience-to-achieve-our-long-term-vision-and-goals/
I’m Tired And Everything HurtsImagine going back in time 20 years and telling people “The queen’s dead and there are only eight planets in the solar system now” and offering no further explanation.
Andrew (Television Executive)Here's your irregular reminder that:
Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.
Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers
The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.
Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.
And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.
We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.
