The difference between XMPP and ActivityPub, explained through the Blog feature 🗒️✨

mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/the-difference-between-xmpp-and-activitypub-explained-through-the-blog-feature-Hdx4FR

Movim provides a quick comparison between the two protocols and shows how blogs work. Wow, this makes so much more sense than ActivityPub tbh. There's also a good example of XML strength: embedding an Atom feed in XMPP messages.

Hits-of-Code Instead of SLoC

www.yegor256.com/2014/11/14/hits-of-code.html

How about we measure the amount of times programmers touch the lines. Instead of counting the number of lines we’ll count how many times they were actually modified—we can get this information from Git (or any other SCM). The more you touch that part of the aircraft—the more effort you spent on it, right?

I called it Hits-of-Code (HoC) and created a small tool to help us calculate this number in just one line.

What a nice idea! I installed this program and ran it on Betula and Mycorrhiza codebases. For Betula it's 26350 HoC, for Mycorrhiza it's 137208 HoC. Yeah, Betula is still comparatively young! Hey, what about Mycomarkup? 23443. Oh wow, just a little less than Betula. I expected a small number.

Privacy and Tracking on the Fediverse | Lainblog

blog.soykaf.com/post/privacy-and-tracking-on-the-fediverse

Mastodon and Pleroma support four settings for post visibility. These are public, friends only, unlisted and direct messages. What actually happens when you use those settings? The only thing they will change are the to and cc fields of the created activity and object. Your server will federate the post to other servers depending on those fields, and hopes the other server respects this. There is no technological guarantee for this, though. A malicious server could leak all the data it receives. This includes posts to friends and direct messages.
