@darius the mental image of you leaning into a doorway at Bell Labs and yelling GET WRECKED at a very startled dmr is making me laugh pretty hard right now.

Boxed "Warning" in a book: "Do not unscrew the cover of this book—there are no user-servicable parts inside." 

There's also a reward offer for corrections sent to a sun.com email address or mailed to the publisher.

As someone who creates ActivityPub services, it's often a puzzle to figure out exactly how someone else's service federates. Like, what does service X do when I send it a Delete/Note activity?

In an attempt to be a good citizen, I've drafted up a FEDERATION.md file for my fediverse event organizing service I'm working on. Here it is:

I've also started a meta-discussion about how we might start documenting this stuff generally:

Having a question about events being actors

'id':`https://${domain}/${eventID}`,
'type': 'Person'
-> The spec. says "Represents an individual person"

I would rather expect "Service"
or ["Service", "Event"]

See "The core Actor Types include"

@darius when I worked on kibou I wanted to write down how Masto does things and I never managed to

@darius do you really send Delete/Event in your requests instead of Delete/EventID ? That seems like a terrible data redundancy.

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

@darius @thisismissem The screencast was really nice. But yeah, maybe I shared that wrong. Try following the event! :)

@darius sounds like this will be an interesting project to keep an eye on. 🙂

What fool called it "Starlight Express" and not "Andrew Lloyd Webber Said 'Trains Rights'"?

Courtney Stanton

@darius we didn’t suffer enough from this joke the first time you just had to boost it huh

Carl Muckenhoupt

@darius I believe that would be Andrew Lloyd Webber, friend.

There were a TON of arguments about mnemonics for host names in the early ARPANET days. There is a sarcastically titled 1973 post on a forum at Stanford Research Institute called "Gee Host Names and Numbers are Swell" by Jim White. I just transcribed it:

write.as/365-rfcs/gee-host-nam

I learned of this post via a citation in this wonderful paper by Steven Malcic, which talks about how early ARPANET mnemonic tables evolved into our modern DNS system over about 15 years.

@darius Thanks for boosting this today; I had not looked at your RFC rereading project and it's so neat!

The best thing about palindromes is you can always make them longer by adding the word "poop" at the beginning and end

I should learn Perl so I can have a file called "stately.pl" which just outputs one of those two strings at random

@darius Sincerely disappointed to learn that state dot ly is a company, not just a picture of a pleasure dome being erected, or even a declaration that one should be.

And pricing tiers that are just free, pro and enterprise? Not a single "pleasure dome" option? Weak.
