1. go-fed's website certificate is expired
2. go-fed's documentation is out of date

Musical metalish albums that are (or almost) musicals:

Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater

Z2 by Devin Townsend

Imaginaerium by Nightwish

Any others I am forgetting? I'm skipping over Rush for being too obvious a choice (but still good!).

I can't believe Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory is 20 years old now.

A music album equivalent to a movie. Almost a musical. At the core is an unsolved murder, as told by a guy to his therapist (who becomes drawn to solving it). So many good musical themes that play off each other throughout the album.

Today feels like a

"Mark out the points
Build the pyre
Assemble different drummers
Light up the fire
Put on your masks
And animal skins"

kind of day.

This isn't the version of Lain I know!

Me: Lol, "yep! Both!"

I think "Instead of JSON, could ActivityPub use protobuffers?" is a classic case of genuinely wanting to make things better (more optimized, in this questioner's case), but not understanding the breadth of consequences.

My wife, to me, blurts loudly : "You have a big head!"

I think that the first time I saw, as a non-Birbsite user, the power of the outrage mob, was when that dude got fired for making a juvenile joke about dongles at a tech conference.

Guess I'm going to keep using a browser to use the German dictionary

Most of these sorts of phrases make sense in English too, but a few wind up sounding formal (in english):

"einen Beruf ausüben" = "to exercise their profession"
"etwas zu Ende bringen" = "to bring something to a close"
"Hilfe leisten" = "to afford help"
"Lösung finden" = "find a solution"
"Interesse zeigen an" = "to exercise interest in"

But some are a bit wonky:

"eine Rolle spiele" = "to play a Role" (as in: It does/doesn't matter)
"ein Gespräch führen" = "to lead a speech" (as in: to make a speech)

beantragen => einen Antrag stellen

In german, "put a request". Don't do that silly English "make a request".

(etwas) tun => Massnahmen ergreifen

In german you don't "take action" you instead "grab action".

If APIs are deemed "novel intellectual property" in the Oracle/Google Supreme Court case, I guess that means #ActivityPub is pretty much in the clear anyway since the API is in the standard as POST/GET inbox/outbox and "send anything".

What'll be interesting is, in such a hypothetical outcome, whether devs will just change software licenses or change their practice away from REST.

NCSU is my alma mater and I could totally see some dipshit there trying to pull a disinformation campaign while deflecting.

TL;DR I'd like to defensively publish out in the open without putting myself nor other folks at serious risk.

Got my researchy prototype network to successfully work. Big moment, but now comes the slow part: finishing the scattered notes on some math proofs, and paying my IP lawyer. I hope it is worth it.

Good job Entente powers. Sorry Liechtenstein.

My blog (cjslep.com/c/blog) is written on top of go-fed and is on the #fediverse. Not only are blog posts shown as native content (ActivityStreams type "Article") but comments ("Notes") on Mastodon/Pleroma show up on my blog as well.

I've reinstalled #Tusky and decided to be connected to the Fediverse mobile-ly, and not just once in a blue moon.
