I am outputting ActivityPub/ActivityStreams content for the listing of what is in a directory.
Think of it as the AP/AS version of output from the `ls` command
AP/AS has a whole bunch of stuff that can be used to represents files. Even sub-types of files
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#object-types
And, while AP/AS has 'Collection' (and 'CollectionPage') —
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-collection
AP/AS doesn't have a 'Directory' type (as a sub-type of 'Collection')
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediDevs #Federation
Yes, I am creating a high performance read-only HTTP server for static files — that has built-in support for ActivityPub/ActivityStreams.
It also supports (the read operations of) WebDAV. So, it can be used as a shared read-only drive in operating-systems (OSes) that support WebDAV.
This might be a misunderstanding.
Any property in ActivityPub can have multiple properties [except the few marked as 'functional'].
It does not need a special subtype.
If we have type ['CollectionPage', 'Collection', 'wd:Q201456'], it is a directory in a directory (?)
We have these nested structures in fedigeo anywhere, for example the UNESCO World Heritage or IATA Collection etc. We use wikidata (the data of wikipedia) so that anyone can use the label and infos for "directory" in any language …
@prealpinux @fediverso looks entirely slop coded. I think making this information available in Italian is great but it needs to be presented in a way that differentiates it from all the new slop on the internet and using the default theme from an ai generator makes it feel less trustable then a unstyled txt file
"I don't think that would be accurate at all, in terms of what I presume most might think."
That was in reference to Elena's comment about being viewed as a team player... and nothing else.
As for "my memories failing me...", I was recalling from memory what I read years ago and recollected as Eugen's comments on why he had chosen to work on ActivityPub and Mastodon. I'm not a member of the board, nor do I have access to info on those events.
@benpate One of the reasons we're supporting NodeBB is their adoption of ActivityPub, and @julian is leading efforts around forum-based AP implementations if you want to follow it.
I think interconnectedness is a double-edge sword, so my own work in the community space right now is focused on private community organizing with only very selective feed-based connections.
@linc This is fantastic, and more than enough for me to get my head around the basic ideas. Thank you!
I'll try to get up to speed on what you've been doing, and then see how it might fit with my own work. Would you say this could work for "non-forum" software, too, such as a regular Mastodon server?
@benpate "Non-forum" yes, but not really Masto. The fediverse/AP is organized around *individual* data sovereignty, which is great, but is solving portability at scale using a universally-recognized *identity*. You can move YOUR account, but not everyone else's, because context is global.
Nitro Porter is trying to solve *collective* data sovereignty — as a group, what do we want to do with our shared data — which doesn't make sense outside *private* context.
I am not sure Mastodon translates.
@benpate Sure: https://github.com/prosembler/nitro-porter
My biggest wish for any project is to build in their own tools for recalculating derived data — post counts, point totals, last post in a topic, etc.
Most apps assume you've never used any other platform or that their calculated data could be wrong. It's a huge time sink to "fix" data handling for them in an export.
To add support to Nitro Porter directly, there's a guide in the docs: https://nitroporter.org/develop.html
