@fluxer.app looks promising. I hope they don't lose focus and get federation working soon.

New project, because Iโve been wanting to try Flutter for a while now: git.boxo.cc/massivebox/g...
It's an uploader for some cheap e-paper BLE displays. Check it out!
Non-sponsored shoutout to actalis.com, an Italian SSL certificate authority with a generous free plan. I migrated to them from ZeroSSL, it took about 5 minutes of messing with my Caddy config.
I think that in today's political climate, it's crucial that we Europeans support European tech.

It's always sad to see how little love Pine64 devices get software-wise.
I dug up my PineTime from a drawer, after not using it for more than a year, hoping there would be some flashy new update or maybe an entirely new firmware, but... Nope.
InfiniTime was last updated in 2024, WaspOS in 2021.
new somewhat decent blog post! check it out

and Matrix has done a good number of things right.
I still have an account on a public server, and I'll be willing to try to self-host again after some time, hoping that the situation with CSAM attacks can be fixed.
For now, I can only wish you good luck.
I know you're all trying your best with limited resources. I can't hide I'm disappointed by some things, and from my point of view, it's hard to see a future that looks bright. But I'm still rooting for you. I've been a huge fan for a while, because I do think the world needs decentralized messenger
I didn't mean it as "hate", the blog post is all written with a light tone in mind, so most of what you may find hateful is just performative rage. I thought it was clear, but I'll push out an update to specify it, since I didn't mean for anyone to feel offended by it.
I've written more about my disappointment towards the direction Matrix is going in this blog post: massive.box/blog/decentr...
I did leave out the issue of CSAM storms, because it wouldn't have fit with the light tone of the rest of the post, but it's one of the reasons why I shut my server down.
After New Vector dropped Dendrite, people like me, who were running their own server, have barely seen any of the "Matrix v2" improvements. With Synapse being slow and heavy, and other implementations (like Conduit) being unstable, you can see why some people aren't too fond of Matrix.

Any large enough ActivityPub instance could just as well be targeted by legislation like this. I've heard of ActivityPub server operators that are going to IP-block the UK rather than implementing the required verification, but that doesn't really count as censorship resistance.

I wanted to get them for myself, but it turns out I can't see shit and my prescription lenses would have been too thick for that kind of frame

I'm less enthusiastic about WalletLinker. I feel like some of the discourse surrounding ATProto sounds already too close to that of cryptobros. I fear that integrating ATProto with cryptos further will draw in an undesireable audience. I hope BlueSky won't end up like Nostr.
I'm happy to learn about RedDwarf! I've been thinking of a project based on ATProto, but building an alternative AppView is a lot of work, and I'm glad to see that Constellation seems to handle it just fine.

I'm trying to get back into blogging, this is what I came up with after a few weeks of sporadic writing. I think it came out well!
plork is such a silly name, I love it
I'm surprised by how usable it is! It's noticeably slower than the default appview, but so far it seems to be pretty consistent, even for historical data, which is the real achievement!
Mikayla Raines of save-a-fox took her own life, because of an online smear campaign and relentless bullying. There were many times I fought against the unwarranted hatred and proofless smear campaigns when I would post save-a-fox content.
An immeasurable loss for foxes. People are fucking vile...

My PDS is acting up a bit, so I want to give a shot to one of the alternative PDS implementations. What do y'all recommend?

Hello from @aviva.gay's deer.social! This BlueSky client has no analytics and lots of nice features, while keeping the beautiful default client UI.
I can't wait for an Android app release!
