Yup yup yup, false alarm on the "virtual hosting of users on different domains being impossible for the Fediverse" front. Figured out that you just need a unique _pair_ of domains for each vhost: github.com/andrewgodwin/t…

It may seem somewhat inconsequential, but I got all the key signing, digest and JSON-LD code to work enough that Mastodon recognises my follow request. Woo!

It's a great day to not doomscroll and instead enjoy the Fediverse's culture of content warnings on politics posts.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about the fact that ActivityPub posts (well, notes) arrive with their text as HTML complete with <span>s and CSS classes.

Takahe is really starting to look like A Thing now that I have done some UI work. Not the most beautiful thing ever, but I want a functional yet friendly aesthetic.

If you're curious about what I am working towards with Takahē (my Fediverse/ActivityPub server), I'm now keeping a high-level roadmap here: github.com/andrewgodwin/t…

Wrote up a blog post with my initial ideas and stance on writing an ActivityPub/Fediverse server: aeracode.org/2022/11/14/tak… I also have thoughts on federation, UX, scaling, and what any successful medium-scale ecosystem might look like, more to come there.

Very unsure if I should cue up "We'll Meet Again" or "Daisy, Daisy" to play once the remaining microservices all start toppling over and Twitter properly goes down.

Wrote a new blog post with some of my initial thoughts on Mastodon/Fediverse's growth, from the perspective of someone relatively new, and what I'd like to see! aeracode.org/2022/11/15/twi…

Asked the AI to design Brutalist Taco Bells.

My hat is off to everyone who has done the right thing and decided to get fired by Twitter today, and over the last few weeks, rather than work in awful conditions. I've enjoyed your work for many years, and I'll remember it fondly, even if it's about to start dying.

I think I might finally be about to have a website I'm sadder about disappearing than lanyrd
