Buzzing along with #Perlurl (i've almost reached 0.30!) and still have a long way to go. A tiny bit stuck because my favorite linux distro's build system doesn't have a recent enough version of #Mojolicious to go forward in an 'official' way and I don't want to make it too retrograde, since the newer Mojo/Minion stuff is just too nice.

I honestly always install via #CPAN myself, but if I were going to make a docker/whatever on #Slackware I'd want #slackbuilds for everything.

I've written a hook in the 'timeline' endpoint that lets you select from a set of custom-written algorithms written in perl.

The first one I came up with: Mute all people who you deem as too 'adult' for work during work hours and when work hours end, all posts they've done float to the top of your timeline. I never had the "Not Worksafe" problem considering I worked for a gay newspaper and regularly rebuilt ads for porn stores, lol.

Venus seems very nice for a lot of reasons!

Built in Perl, with Mojolicious, Minion, SQLite3, Venus.

Kind of annoying that the SQLite3 and Cache::Cache backends for Minion seem abandoned. Might have to rewrite them to update them for the newer Minion calling semantics?

I'm finally starting to grok the whole ActivityPub structures and methods, but finding kind a lack of any visual representations of how the transactions happen. Other than the (dense, technical, jargonish) w3 spec, are there any good explainers for ActivityPub?
