I'm so close to having a working OStatus node now. I spent today writing nicer styles and implementing live updates. It'll be exciting once I can actually post something from my own little home :D
If you'd like to check out where it's at, you can see my running instance here: https://don.fknsrs.biz/
And the code is here: https://github.com/deoxxa/don
The whole thing is eating 0% cpu at idle, and very little when actively working. Quite happy so far.
This is really starting to come along nicely. Next step: implement *serving* RSS feeds of user posts.
"Older versions of this specification had defined a "status" object type ... There are deployed implementations that currently still use "status" ... The determination of whether or not a "note" object represents a person's current status is based on the context in which the "note" is used."
Good joke. Standards.
If you're involved in the #education of young people, you might enjoy https://journeysinfilm.org. They provide free educational material using (and sometimes about) #film.
For example, through the movie Hidden Figures, they've provided a wealth of lesson and discussion material covering topics like #STEM, civil rights, cold war / space race history, and film-making: https://journeysinfilm.org/films/hidden-figures/
The Mars #movie is another great one. https://journeysinfilm.org/films/mars/
All right! Release time!
