There are two ecosystems out there in the decentralized social networking space these days. There's the Fediverse, built on top of the ActivityPub protocol, and there's now a parallel set of software popping up around Bluesky and the AT Protocol (or "ATProto"). The Fediverse now has PeerTube (a YouTube-like service), Pixelfed (like Instagram), and Loops (like TikTok). In the ATProto world, there are apps like Pinksky (like Instagram) and Skylight (like TikTok).

I got a little burst of inspiration recently and threw some rough experiments together over the course of a few evenings.

A couple updates on the gobs-of-machines work from a while back!

Have you ever actually convinced someone of something on social media? I think I may have, once or twice, but it's by far not the most common outcome.

Wrapping up December Adventure for this year and related to my last post, here's some early prototyping I did over the holidays of a machine management tool. After I posted the last post, I had a conversation with some of my friends in which it was difficult to convey exactly how this might work, so I'm writing this up partly to serve as an explainer for my thought process.

I've been noodling on the possibility of managing a bunch of Guix machines with Goblins for a little while now. Spent a little time at a local coffee shop today thinking about how this might work...

Migrated the website back to a server I control so I can set the Content-Type header properly on ActivityPub objects. And it looks like that was enough for Mastodon to be able to pull up my profile!

Taking a little break today from coding for an artistic break - I'm trying to turn an existing image into a vector design for an enamel pin. I think it came out pretty well!

Same-day post I know, but I just managed to hack together per-tag page support for this site! I love that Haunt makes things like this so easy. Currently only the da2024 page exists, but I'll be generating pages for all of them soon.

I heard about December Adventure today, and thought it was a great idea! Since I have a project in mind to work on at the moment (that I was working on yesterday anyway), I think I'll participate. :)
