Just realizing that the https://botsin.space domain has been memorialized just last week.
fediverse
I see why everyone loved @elena's fediverse video when it premiered at the #fediforum.

I used fedi.directory by @FediFollows just this morning to find a couple of new (to me) podcasts. An increadibly valuable service, we all on the #fediverse owe them a huge thanks. Donate if you can!
A fedi explainer video you can share with your grandma. Thanks for your work on this @_elena

The Work Continues: What’s Next
Details will follow soon — but the work on events in the #Fediverse is far from complete. Key upcoming milestones include:
Improvements and new features for the Event Bridge for ActivityPub plugin for WordPress
Continued development to maintain, fix issues, enhance, and expand functionality.
Work on Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs)
Ensuring a robust final status of FEP-8a8e and focus on recurring and irregularly scheduled events.
Support for event interoperability in other Fediverse applications
Contribute to other Fediverse applications and help them to explore and improve support for Event objects. For example, @linos has outlined a potential roadmap for Mastodon.
Contribution to GatherPress
Active involvement in the GatherPress project — a modern and truly FLOSS community oriented WordPress event plugin — to ensure full ActivityPub compatibility, including RSVP support and advanced federation features.
Community engagement and outreach
Participation in conferences, public talks, and direct conversations to foster knowledge exchange, gather feedback, and grow the ecosystem around federated events.
Additional updates and technical details will be shared soon. Input, testing, and collaboration from interested parties are always welcome. Or if you know any conferences we should attend, let us know.

Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media
I already wrote about caching here.
Now I extended what I cache a bit.
This was because after enabling the option to proxy media, I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).
There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodon api or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2.0 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs. 🙂 (I guess it is actually irrelevant for the system resources)
This is the updated setup:
Enable the relevant modules:
a2enmod expires cache cache_disk
Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up the old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
Then add this to the httpd Virtualhost config:
Further reading and all options are explained under https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html (and ff)
The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac set no-cache on that location and mod_expires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as mod_expires would. (I use mod_expires because it will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expires header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )

this is insanely fediversish✨ ⁂Happy to be finding so many fediverse merchandise stores lately - I was sure I had them all when I setup the list originally. Glad to be proven wrong.
Here's an instance specific one - get the vmst.io logo on a t-shirt! The title of the shirt is "Toots In / Toots Out". 🎺
"Octopus Garden" is the first in a series of underwater images...hope you enjoy!

Taking a look at the Wordpress ActivityPub Roadmap, at the very end I see this:
> Client-to-Server API (exploration)
> At this stage, we’re exploring and evaluating this based on community interest and potential use cases.
Client to Server API for ActivityPub is not widely utilized (or at all?) so this would be of great benefit to all fediverse platforms.
SHOW YOUR COMMUNITY INTEREST!!! @activitypub.blog

Wafrn, a tumblr adjacent fediverse platform, has added an opt-in feature that replaces mentions of "artificial intelligence" with "cocaine" in all posts on your personal timeline. Makes for some humorous reading.
This is the fediverse I know and love. Reminds me of some of the quirky stuff people built with AiScript on Forkey platforms.

Heading to Austin soon, who do I have in my #Fediverse network based in that area? It has been a long time since I was last in that city!
Another fediverse merch shop just added to the list thanks to a new submission to the repo.
Adorable mastodon shirts and accessories with the @mastowatch app logo, supporting the app creator. The dark mode logo is a solid choice - the color logo is shown below.
