We're going through some infrastructure changes, and moving our social account over to Fedizen! We still plan on digging into the PeerTube server database sometime this week.

If you're a #gamedev, and love to share what you're working on, feel free to like / boost this post and maybe tell me about your projects! I'd love to see more of that stuff in my feed. ♥️

Kind of a broad #activitypub question, for platforms implementing groups in the #fediverse
We see maybe 2 or 3 different use-cases for how groups are leveraged in the Fediverse today:

I'm completely obsessed with Peep Show. It's a brilliant look at daily life from people who are short-sighted, self-destructive, and have only the worst kind of self-awareness.
It's deeply uncomfortable, explores the weirdness of our own private thoughts and expressions, and is incredibly funny.

The sad truth about media streaming is that everything is split up between services so much now that it's impossible to watch everything you want to. It's the most annoying thing in the world to be told "I'm sorry, but your bundle of overpriced subscriptions do not apply, and will not get you […]

I feel like the BBC would be in a very unique position to put up a Loops instance and post clips from all of their various shows. If there's anything that's perfect for vertical short-form videos, it's British comedy.
They already do this with Facebook, Instagram, and probably Tiktok. I would […]

After some troubleshooting and investigating, we've migrated over to the latest `alpha` release for #bonfire. It seems that we've figured out the root cause with the queue problem, which was causing every instance to receive notice of every follower our accounts had during the migration process […]

Things I absolutely do not recommend: going to school to take a math test when you're exhausted. I kept nodding off slightly when trying to do the equations, and it was not a good time.

Huh, in #bonfire you can just straight up import the JSON file of your last account's entire outbox collection?
I'm super curious to see what would happen, but instantly wonder what might break.

Okay friends, here's the obligatory cursed 1996 home VHS recording, of a young Sean getting chased by a bee. I have to do this every time I move instances, as part of a tradition.

I managed to get everything off my plate today except for setting up meilisearch. Honestly, I might just do the wise thing and go to bed, and wait until someone can tell me about how to get it working.

I'm honestly really excited to be doing this. I'm a little nervous that people will look at this and say "FEDIVERSE YAHOO!? IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN COME UP WITH?! YOU ABSOLUTE HACK!'
But I think the vision is good, and that this could end up being great.

OK, who are the experts on #distributedsystems on the #fediverse? There is a new #fep for implementing a scalar #logicalclock in #activtypub, #fep4f18.
I'm especially interested in mitigations for Byzantine faults in the system; right now, it's kind of hand-wavy based on value and trust […]

Slightly salty to be missing out on #fediforum today. I look forward to seeing the demos and hearing about what discussions took place!

#bonfire Instance goals for today: copy over our server rules, ToS, and Privacy Policy, get Search up and running, move the remaining accounts from our Akkoma instance over here, close down the Akkoma instance, and write a big fancy article about what we're trying to build.

Got Tusky working, which is better than nothing. Some minor issues, avatars aren't showing up currently, so more experiments are necessary.
I will miss my beloved Moshidon in the meantime... 🥺

Rule of thumb for Generative AI: it’s best used for making the most wildly disgusting thing possible. Like an interactive erotica featuring Hagrid and Jabba the Hutt.
That’s what I would flood the pro-AI communities with.

Running a PeerTube instance is no joke. While it mostly hums along in the background, occasionally you get things like this.
