Life can get in the way of the best laid plans, but it's always nice when you can start to get back on track. I started reading this Burr biography in late July in preparation for his special episode and am just now getting back to it. His VPOTUS predecessors are looking on to ensure that Burr doesn't try anything funny. #history #VPOTUS #Burr

It's an infamous anniversary that Hamilton fans know all too well - #OTD in 1804, Hamilton and Burr met for their duel. Learn more about it by listening to ep. 3.23! #Hamilton #VPOTUS #Burr https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/323-one-man-left-standing/

He's a 10 but he doesn't want Burr and Gyrgan from Voltron to flirt with each other. #Voltron #VLD #Burr #ChazzPalminteri #Gyrgan #GenoSegers

It's the birthday of everyone's favorite Early Republic rapscallion, Aaron Burr! In order to mark the occasion, take some time today to listen to this episode which discusses his famous treason trial during the Jefferson presidency. #VPOTUS #Burr #OTD https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/336-trial/

At least this winter storm gives me an excuse to not leave the house this weekend #chicago #burr

Christine McVie talks about "songbird" and as a bonus she is introduced by Nicola Meighan with her lovely #Scotland manner of speech.

( Not sure if this is a #burr or a #brogue but someone will educate me. )

Went for a walk yesterday and came across this massive burl.

Went for a walk yesterday and came across this massive burl.
I wonder if folktales ever mention these, or if the 'pregnant' look of these burrs inspired myths about wood nymphs and dryads.

#trees #burl #burr #folktale #myth

Planning a dev stream for 3 PM Eastern / Noon Pacific tomorrow.

In the unlikely event that nothing goes wrong, I'll be reading the ATP spec and then working on the #Burr DB schema.

I may also discuss my very brief foray into ML with the Coral.ai device I got a few days ago.

I might use my new-but-unused capture card for the first time this weekend to stream some development for #burr on peertube or odysee.

We'll see if I can get it all set up by then or not.

@MrMaxPowers247 @coldacid yeah this "fork it to change what should be a configurable setting" is the kind of horseshit that drove me to start #burr, and from what I understand the same is true for @alex and Rebased.

The upstream developers for both projects are SJW dipshits who are inflexible and opinionated in all the wrong ways.

The fediverse is dead. Long live the fediverse.

Considering just not having email in #burr. I can only think of two cases where email-based account recovery is required:

1: The account creator lost the password

2: The account is/was compromised and the creator must regain control.

1 is a problem you can solve server-side with an out-of-band identity source (email). However, doing this also introduces the inverse of 2 (if email is compromised).

Solution: prominent warnings, gen recovery codes on account creation. Email just isn't worth it.

I started to write the Group schema and then realized that it's probably smarter to just use Accounts as Groups, just adding "members" and "moderators" edges to the Account.

This way Groups can post publicly and federate all the same (can be blocked/silenced by other servers).

IDK, maybe this is an oversimplification that won't work out. #burr

Beyond feature parity with Mastodon, I'd like to add the following features to #burr which are NOT present in the current release of Mastodon:

* Public Timeline
* Groups
* Events
* Status Editing
* Roles
* Badges (roles, donor status, etc.)
* Emoji reactions (more than just "like")
* Quote Statuses (reblog/boost/retweet with comment)

And some further-out features:

* E2E DM Encryption (Axolotl ratchet or similar)
* Calling (Jitsi or Mumble integration)
* Whole-instance Search (Account Opt-in)

First round implementation for the Account schema is done. https://github.com/Eriner/burr/commit/28177d79c33e657196714dcd35a9fc05d35ad846

Still need to create Statuses, Sessions, Groups, Roles, and probably a few other types and fields that I've forgotten.

Once the schema is defined I'll merge in the ActivtyPub branch and let the face-to-keyboard smashing begin.

Far from complete, but a lot of progress. This is a testament to all the great FOSS libraries and authors out there. Thanks y'all! I stand on the shoulders of giants.

@ryan@ryanthomas.org
Agree. The Managerial #Republicans are clearly our biggest enemies.
Look at Richard #Burr (NC) and his bills s.3799 for just one example.
Burr and ppl like him are beyond controlled opposition, they are foreign agents.

If there is a Pleroma/Mastodon API test suite out there, finding it could save me ~40% of the work for this project.

Queuing (Faktory remote + embedded) is now rigged in.

In a cursory examination of the existing AP/jsonld packages, I like @cj's github.com/go-fed/activity package the most so far. I still haven't made a decision.

#Burr

I rigged up a lot of the external dependencies + "lite" versions of each so it can be run in a lite/standalone mode without any external dependencies:

* Secrets: Vault + memory
* Cache: Redis + memory
* DB: (entgo.io) postgres + sqlite

Still TODO:

* Blob storage: S3 + memory (io/fs Writable interfaces pls)
* Queue: Faktory + import runtime (I'm lucky it's written in Go)

After all this shite is done I'm on to finding/building a mastodon/pleroma API test suite.
