@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Not to be too dark, but hasn't this been true for a while? I'm sure I could find places on the net to buy (or pay people to find) exploits already, and probably roughly as fast. There are a lot of projects/servers or there with less than stellar security, after all. It almost feels like the bigger change is how much it is now public knowledge you can pay for exploits, rather than whether or not you could already.

To follow up on yesterday's announcement of fediverse, the 'federate your RSS feed' project, today I've pushed support for mapping RSS categories to ActivityPub hashtags. This does add a new required config field, as each ActivityPub server can map hashtags to different places.

That's... about it, really. This is mostly a blog post so that there is a blog post with hashtags to point at.

@[email protected] see, you posted that tagged as no context but... gestures out the window

Turns out that my Boox Note Air 3C actually does a surprisingly good job of running #krita. Slightly laggy displaying the brush strokes but records them accurately, and the e-ink display and roughly A5 form factor means I can draw outside in bright sunlight and on the go.

The e-ink display does make judging colour saturation a little difficult though!

@[email protected] a shame, but I suspected that would be the case. Supporting that kind of ui slickness across the two different stacks would be a huge pile of work. It looks gorgeous, by the way.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Do you have any plans for an android version?

@[email protected] I would tell the choir to join in on singing the truth of this, but they're all too tired

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thing is, I can't help suspecting that each time these people are so pleased with themselves for having come up with their very own, very unique, cunning plan.

Y'all are missing out on a major investment opportunity. @[email protected] is already moving to secure her cut of the vegan human rights (and gluten) free alternative brain industry.

I mean, that's got to be worth paying at least for to six times the cost of non-certified brain alternative provision, right? At least based off how much I get charged for gluten free food...

@[email protected] No I strongly suspect that would rapidly cause me permanent damage. But for a small, small, fee of 1 billion dollars I will produce something I like to call a "vegan human rights free brain alternative" that will turn anything you desire into LinkedIn posts with only minor side effects to people who mostly aren't me (such as the collapse of copyright law, psychosis, etc, etc)

So this is very much a work in progress (see me having to quote the post to add the hashtags...), but meet fediverss - a simple F# program that puts your static blog rss in the fediverse. #activitypub #fsharp #blog

@[email protected] I finally got around to doing something about this, and wanted to say thanks for the discussion and pointing me to activitybot; it lead to a much simpler solution than I'd originally thought of, even if it ended up going in a different direction to activitybot (I'm federating rss by running an ap client rather than an ap server)

@blog In case you're browsing over to the blog because you're curious what the comments look like... they look like this.

@[email protected] hi! I was asked for personal recommendations but I believe the client is also open to general contact. Let me check that's true, and if so I'll send the contact details over. It will probably be at least tomorrow at this point, the client is UK based.

@[email protected] ah yes, a close relative of the famous glance behind you at the 4 metre high projection of your slides at a conference while talking and spot the spelling mistake moment.

@[email protected] I... both do, and very much do not, want to know where they get the rest of their discourse.

@[email protected] The bank had around 2,000 branches and we were due to ship multiple copies to all of them, to give a sense of scale. Full colour printing in 1999 wasn't cheap, either.

@[email protected] I worked in desktop publishing for a while in a large bank in the UK, producing things like product leftlets and terms and conditions sheets (exciting, I know).

The bank and a printing company jointly paid one contract night security guard a significant amount of money as a thank you after he happened to spot at the beginning of his shift that one of the pages of a 70+ page full colour brouchure was upside down, an error missed by the people at both the bank and the print house. All because he got bored enough to flick through the test print left lying around before the overnight run started.
