Mastodon seems to have attracted a bigger audience than GNU social and pump.io combined. Great times ahead if everybody actualyl embraces ActivityPub soon!

The total number of users has dropped quite a bit! Someone else posted about this yesterday, but I think the post is too far back in my stream now to make it easy to find.

spam crackdown? less pumps posting to the firehose?
Hopefully at least some of the dropoff is the spam bots!
No, probably a bug. I'll take a look tonight.Evan Prodromou at 2014-05-07T11:38:54Z

New blogpost: I need a new GPG key

An early expiration date for the key is the solution that i use. I change the expiration of my key every 6 months, if a i lost the password, then the key will be still alive only for the remaining time.
I need to spend some time working out how to do that ... (but not with a smartcard - I don't have any hardware able to read them)
I also want to see if gnupg could be used as an alternative to ssl for some things - looks like it might use a different port - which is GOOD.
Idea for PumpMigrate
JanKusanagi @identi.ca at 2014-04-14T23:57:29Z
Hi there, kabniel!
Today sazius used PumpMigrate to sync contacts between his main account and his backup account, and then apologized for the "noise" in our Meanwhile feeds.
And I thought... "follow" and "unfollow" are just activities, and therefore can be addressed to followers, to public, or to whoever we want, in theory.
So, it could be pretty great if PumpMigrate, when doing such a big-scale "migration", would create the "follow" (and "unfollow") activities setting the To/CC to a null address, to the address of the account being backed up, or only to the address of each person being followed, or something... as long as it's not "all followers" =)
If this works as I expect, it would mean silent migrations, zero annoyances and no more apologies :p
What do you think? Cheers!

Have you tested if this works as expected? If not I'll test it this evening when I get home :-)At least I guess the person you follow should get it so their instance knows you are following them :-)
OK, didn't have time to test this today. Too busy installing Debian on my new SSD :-)
Pumpmigrate might not be actively maintained, though, at least it didn't work with the newest PyPump (I had to force pip to install 0.4).
I didn't get around to test the theory either =)
>> sazius:
“At least I guess the person you follow should get it so their instance knows you are following them :-)”
Pump.io probably puts whatever is needed into motion to make that happen anyway, but yes, it would make sense to send the activity to the user being referenced in it :pI don't know how actively developed PumpMigrate is, but what better way of making it active than talking to its developer about possible enhancements, right? He he heee...

I made a little test page using a revoked SSL certificate: https://revoked.saz.im/ - if your browser checks for revocation is should warn you. For me Iceweasel just refused to connect, while Chromium didn't notice anything wrong. With the heartbleed bug I expect a lot of site admins will revoke old certs, so this might be quite important for browsers to check.Ron K. Jeffries, laurelrusswurm, William L.

APOD: 2014 March 18 - Cosmic Microwave Map Swirls Indicate Inflation
Did the universe undergo an early epoch of extremely rapid expansion? Such an inflationary epoch has been postulated to explain several puzzling cosmic attributes such as why our universe looks similar in opposite directions. Yesterday, results were released showing an expected signal of unexpected strength, bolstering a prediction of inflation that specific patterns of polarization should exist in cosmic microwave background radiation -- light emitted 13.8 billion years ago as the universe first became transparent. Called B-mode polarizations, these early swirling patterns can be directly attributed to squeeze and stretch effects that gravitational radiation has on photon-emitting electrons. The surprising results were discovered in data from the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2) microwave observatory near the South Pole. BICEP2 is the building-mounted dish pictured above on the left. Note how the black polarization vectors appear to swirl around the colored temperature peaks on the inset microwave sky map. Although statistically compelling, the conclusions will likely remain controversial while confirmation attempts are made with independent observations.

This is an interesting angle on the new MSFT leadership. Hanselman quoting himself:
t's worth noting that under Satya [Ed: And ScottGu] (in my org, Cloud and Enterprise) we open sourced ASP.NET, use 50+ OSS libraries in Visual Studio, have all the Azure cloud SDKs on GitHub, and on and on. We made Portable Libraries happen and now share code between iOS, Android, and Windows. This is not your grandfather's MSFT, and now the dude who helped us (Azure) change things in a fundamentally non-MSFT and totally awesome way is in charge. I'm stoked - big things coming, I think.

Can't beat them? Join them. :-)
I had the interesting experience of installing MSFT software on Linux recently (the SCOM monitoring agent). Microsoft definitely has some devs who "get" Linux - install was handled by SSH keys with sudo escalation.

Yak shaving is rightly recognized as a trap but it also has its virtues.
A lot of the broken windows out there in the world are due to people not shaving enough yaks. I say this as a proud perpetual yak shaver. Sometimes that yak just needs shaving and nobody else is going to do it.
A much more prominent perpetual yak shaver is Joi Ito:

FSCK YEAH! To think that a BIOS update was all that was needed to resolve my hard-crash issue with VBox on my Toshiba Portege M400 running Fedora 20 x86. The crash was caused by having VT-x enabled in VBox under the older BIOS. All is working as it should, and all was right with the world (at least my world, lol).
