Dejadme compartir el #sideproject en el que ando ahora, y que tiene mucho que ver con el #fediverso:

- La idea gira en torno a "Quizá los medios no estén en Mastodon. Las noticias sí"
- He creado la instancia masto.news
- No se trata de replicar noticias con RSS, sino de darle un criterio periodístico y de actualidad

Tengo tres cuentas ya:
- @politica_esp
- @baloncesto
- @vigo

Os animo a seguirlas y a darme feedback. Tengo pendiente un post, pero no podía aguantarme más :blobparty:

#SideProject: with the rise of #linux based SBC and all the awesome things people do with them I was thinking but with the fact that they are increasingly not cheap, is there a source of #linux devices that could be hacked to be useful.

After a bit of research I thought #AndroidTV boxes might be a good target, there are loads of projects putting Linux on them which is a good start.

So off to AliExpress I go, after a bit of browsing I take a risk and order a cheap (£20) androidtv box which claims to have a allwinner H313 and the option of 8Gb ram...

Here begins a little hacking thread of when it arrived 1/n

A little #sideProject I play with is making little #battery "surrogates" or dummy batteries. They let you debug circuit power issues or design goals, or let you make a battery-powered device into a much longer-lived device by using a larger battery or power supply.

They've been very useful for me, so I share them a bit too.

I've just recently made a #CR1632 sized one which is quite a challenge to fabricate. It's very tiny with tinier routing channels.

I should note that ActivityPub has the same problem, if you want a feed of your posts, then the idea is that you iterate through pages of the inbox collection & retrieve everything then filter — the protocol has no simple filtering built in.

Continued thread

E.g., you annotate stuff by target IRI, but the spec doesn't give you any way to say "give me all the annotations you know about for this target IRI", instead it's assumed every target IRI has a separate collection, which is only discovered by the host of the target IRI telling you where it is, or by you paginating through an entire collection of mixed target IRIs and filtering as you do so, which is very data inefficient.

Continued thread

The weirdest thing about Web Annotations & the prefers representation header is that it's only sent for the first request, and then persisted through the pagination IRIs, and there's like a single line on this buried in the spec:

> The IRI of the Container provided in the response should differentiate between whether the pages contain just the IRIs, or the full descriptions of the Annotations. It is recommended that this be done with a query parameter.

Continued thread

Spent an hour yesterday trying to improve the metadata for the collections, but was having to fight sql and lucid where stuff was just doing weird shit.

Like I'd query back a property, I could log the result as a whole, but then if I tried to place that property in an object, it'd log undefined.. like something weird happening with the proxy and column name translations in Lucid.

Was very strange.

So with my little street photography outing last night I looked up prompts to help with inspiration and things to look out for with photography

Decided to make a thing that gives you a daily and hourly prompt to spark inspiration with taking photos, I need to curate a big ol' list of prompts for it now (there's currently about 50 different prompts, I want to get to at least 5x that for more variety in the next week or so!)
