One single page example of ActivityPub in php

One single page example of ActivityPub in php


On this blog article  Terence Eden explains the basics of Activitypub with an example of one page of code.. Start with a domain or a subdomain,  just configure few lines upload the code and test it. It should work.

I try it. I didn’t work the first time. I didn’t have time to know why. I found the code that leads a blank page. I comment it.

That would give me a start to implement ActivityPub in retilo. That would be really nice to receive comments from other AP account. Of course that leads to lot of work but interesting work. Starting by adding comment or RSS streams to nomadic identity.

Fasting and prayer 2025 Mulhouse

Fasting and prayer 2025 Mulhouse

.

Every year since 1995 the Evangelical Church La porte ouverte chrétienne has organized a week of fasting and prayer. After a break of a few years because of COVID, this event was organized again.

The Church had been accused in 2020 of having spread the virus when the information on this virus was vague and the instructions had not yet been given. See article from Le Monde for example

In this article there will just be a few thoughts, it will not be a complete article on the benefits of fasting or a description of the Church.

Every day 3 meetings are organized. 9:30, 12:30 and 7 p.m. A break in the afternoon between 2 and 7 p.m. to be free and rest.

Note that the 450-space parking lot is full 20 minutes before the start of the meetings. The 2500 seat room is full even in the morning. The title ‘week of fasting and prayer’ is not a very catchy title. It has not been changed since the creation of the event in 1995. However, the attraction to the event is real.

Conclusion people come to pray and not to be entertained. One might think that this church is a show church. Which may be true. It takes time to adapt at the beginning so as not to be distracted by the crowd and the cameras. But one can also focus on the important thing. Make oneself small and simply seek God and his will. The rest, the show, the miracles and the emotions then become secondary.

The last evening the thing that I can describe here is the vision of this crowd after having praised God, dancing and being joyful being on their knees trembling and in silence. We could then feel the presence of God. The text of the Bible came back to me when Jacob said It is certain God was present in this place. When Moses was aware that if the people touched the mountain they would die.

The conclusion of these few days spent in Mulhouse: We must continue and new things will come, do not redo what has been done in the past, do not hesitate to move forward and innovate. Productivity will come. Less effort will produce more results

Switzerland remove ist mastodon server

Switzerland remove ist mastodon server

The Swiss confederation closes its Mastodon instance a fediverse server for its official communication. social.admin.ch.  Reason not enough followers.

The Federal Chancellery has been operating a Mastodon instance for the federal administration since September 2023. The pilot project, which was limited to one year, ends today as the conditions for its continuation have not been met.

As part of their statutory information mandate, the Federal Council and the federal administration have also been communicating on social media for many years and are constantly examining whether previously unused platforms are eligible.

In September 2023, the Conference of Federal Information Services decided to launch a pilot project on the decentralised Mastodon platform. The Federal Chancellery then opened the social.admin.ch instance, on which members of the Federal Council and departments could manage official accounts. The pilot project was limited to one year.

Mastodon has useful features for government communication. Thanks to its decentralised organisation, the platform is not subject to the control of a single company or to any state censorship. Its source code is open, it complies with data protection and is not driven by algorithms.

Too few active users

On the social.admin.ch instance, three departments managed five accounts, and the Federal Chancellery managed one account for the entire Federal Council. The six accounts of the Confederation had around 3,500 subscribers in total.

On platforms such as X or Instagram, the Federal Council and the Federal Administration reach many more subscribers with comparable accounts. In addition, the contributions of the Mastodon accounts of the Federal Council and the Federal Administration have rather low engagement rates (likes, shares, comments). Finally, the number of active users of Mastodon worldwide is once again falling.

The Conference of Information Services of the Confederation therefore considers that the conditions for continuing the pilot project have not been met, and activities on the Mastodon accounts of the Federal Council and the federal administration are suspended as of today. The social.admin.ch instance will be closed at the end of the month.

The was of nomadic identity

The was of nomadic identity

Hubzilla was the first application to show us the concept of nomadic identity. It proove the concept that you can use many servers with the same account or moving your fediverse account from server to server. At that time the protocole was zot.

Mike MacGirven continue the work with an other application : Streams He implemented that concept with the popupar protocol ActivityPub. You can real more technical explaination here

How to add your Hubzilla channel to Fediverse.info

How to add your Hubzilla channel to Fediverse.info

If you want to add your Hubzilla channel to the project-independent Fediverse People Directory at Fediverse.info, but you’re struggling to get it submitted, here is a how-to which worked at least for me.

Step 0: Obviously, you have to have PubCrawl activated. Being on Fediverse.info is kind of senseless without PubCrawl because it’s mostly for a Mastodon audience. If you don’t want to have PubCrawl on, stop right here and rely on Hubzilla’s own directories instead.

Step 1: Prepare your profile. If you’ve got multiple profiles, prepare your default profile. Edit it. Open the « Miscellaneous » tab.

There you have to edit the « About me » field. It’s the equivalent of the self-description on Mastodon, so it’ll be your Fediverse.info profile text. Describe yourself there.

At the bottom, add hashtags. Fediverse.info reads hashtags, but since it’s built against Mastodon, it can’t read Hubzilla’s keyword field. It can only read hashtags from the « About me » field.

Most importantly: Add the hashtag #fedi22. Fediverse.info won’t add your channel without it.

Step 2: Let the changes settle. Don’t advance to the next step until at least 15 minutes later. Maybe do something else in the meantime. But don’t forget what you were doing here.

Step 3: Go to the Fediverse.info directory page (see the link at the top).. Click on « Add Account ». Go on and confirm that you’ve added #fedi22 to your profile. If you haven’t, go back to step 1 and 2 and come back to step 3 later.

Step 4: Add your full channel URL. Only this works. Your Webfinger ID (kris@hub.libranet.de) does not, neither does your profile URL.

Step 5: Click Proceed.

You should get a message that includes the hashtags discovered in the « About me » field except for #fedi22. This means your channel has been added.

This method might also work with (streams), only that Fediverse.info doesn’t know (streams), and most (streams) instances don’t identify as « Streams » anyway.

Metric time or decimal time

Metric Time

With metric time the day is broken into 10 hours.

A metric hour is broken into 100 minutes.

A metric minute is broken into 100 seconds.

What makes metric time so cool is that would make all the mental math we have to do when adding and subtracting time so much easier—especially when it comes to different timezones. Working with base-10 numbers is so much easier than trying to think in base-60, base-12, and base-24.

In fact metric time could be decimal time

There is no AM or PM with metric time. Just 10 hours in the day. To get a good night sleep (8 standard hours) you’d sleep for 3.33 metric hours. If you go to bed at 9:50 metric time (about 10:45pm in standard time), wanting to get a good night sleep, you’d wake up at 2:75 metric time (roughly 6:45am standard time). Remember, a half hour in metric time is 50 minutes, and a full hour is 100 minutes. One metric minute before « midnight » (10:00 on the metric clock) would be 9:99 in metric time.

Time is Money

The logic you use to tell time with metric time is very similar to how you think about money (assuming US Dollars). One metric hour is like a 100-dollar bill. One metric minute is a 1 dollar bill. And each metric second is a penny. Each day (10 metric hours), has 1,000 minutes, and 100,000 seconds. It’s an interesting way to think about the time we get to spend each day.
