I’ve been online since usenet. I try to use the current meaning of words. I fully understand that trolling has been coopted by bad faith actors.
Originally it was a fun little bit of sarcasm or an inside joke that became a proto meme or some copypasta to share around.
Now it’s a path to the US presidency.
We have a different definition of troll I think. To me trolls are bad faith actors hiding racism and other disinclusive speech behind humor.
Then why are you here? Are you also a troll?
The fediverse—a decentralized social web powered by protocols like ActivityPub—is an exciting space to explore. If you’re considering building the next great federated app, connected to platforms like Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and more, you might be tempted to implement ActivityPub from scratch. While this approach offers total control, it’s a daunting task due to the complexity of the standards involved.
At its core, ActivityPub relies on ActivityStreams 2.0 vocabulary and JSON-LD syntax. This combination introduces significant complexity:
Understanding ActivityStreams Vocabulary:
You need to model actions and objects (e.g., posts as Note or Article, profiles as Person or Organization, and actions like Create, Follow, Like, Announce) using the precise terms defined in the specification.
JSON-LD Specifics:
JSON-LD has unique rules that complicate direct JSON manipulation:
// No name property
{ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Note", "content": "…"}
// Equivalent to:
{ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Note", "name": [], "content": "…"}
// Single value
{ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Note", "content": "Hello"}
// Equivalent to:
{ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "type": "Note", "content": ["Hello"]}
// Embedded object
{
"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"type": "Announce",
"actor": { "type": "Person", "id": "http://sally.example.org/", "name": "Sally" },
"object": { "type": "Arrive", "id": "https://sally.example.com/arrive", /* ... */ }
}
// Equivalent to:
{
"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"type": "Announce",
"actor": "http://sally.example.org/",
"object": "https://sally.example.com/arrive"
}
Fedify, a TypeScript framework, abstracts the complexity of ActivityPub development. It handles the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on what makes your app unique.
Fedify simplifies federation logic:
// Handle follow
federation.on(Follow, async (ctx, follow) => {
// Implement follow logic
});
// Handle post activity
federation.on(Create, async (ctx, activity) => {
// Implement post activity logic
});
When running your app:

Building a federated app with ActivityPub is challenging, but tools like Fedify make the process manageable. By abstracting away the complexity of JSON-LD and ActivityStreams, Fedify allows developers to focus on creating innovative applications for the fediverse.
How are C-level execs going to justify the bloated AI budget if they cannot point to a research study now? Actual research takes time they don’t have as the 1st quarter is almost over.
How will the researchers get more grant money to spend on inefficient transform models if they have to waste time and resources conducting peer reviewed study? I need my name on 10 papers this year or I’ll lose my faculty position.
Better yet, why not have AI draft a self report form and email it out to all of the students in my department and publish the results of that as research? I’m a genius.

Proxmox does add extended hardware support, as does Kali. Parrot enables necessary repos and kernel modifications for Red and Blue team workflows. I don’t know enough about DEs to speak about the others but those three don’t apply to the meme.
Absolutely.
Edit, responded to the wrong comment somehow.

Is it triplets in body temp water popping out spheres with people’s names in them?
Sure, you could better automate this with OpenBao (not OpenTofu funnily enough)
You’d generate and sign your own root cert. Then manage all following changes with OpenBao as PKIs https://openbao.org/docs/secrets/pki/quick-start-root-ca/

I also rammed 10cc spikes at the back of the bus, the world needs organ donors and motorcycles provide a great service for that. Hope your EMT career was short lived but rewarding.
Enterprises? Hire capable SecOPs to staff your SOC and pay for audits by licensed firms.
Individuals? Patch your shit. Setup MFA that’s not your cellphone.

As a fellow meat crayon I agree
My Mossberg 500 agrees.
Member states already have mutual defense pacts that overrule any competing EU dictates in time of war.

So Hungary can veto whatever they want, but defensive actions will be taken regardless.

Hacking is using something in a manner in which it was unintended by hacking parts of it, as with an axe.
Good discussion of it here with etymological references.
