I have added Mastodon-style (FEP-044f) quote post compatibility to my @DailyRucks bot. You can now quote post the daily voice lines as much as you want! 🥳

This would be noteworthy on its own if there weren't already a bunch of […]

continuing my "what is the deal with art yarn" journey, my first coily beehives 🐝

this is a very silly technique. I can't imagine using it for a real project, but it is fun to spin.

I haven't posted about my QR code generator in a while: https://fietkau.software/qr Check it out if you need QR codes, it has cool customization options and lots of fedi project logos.

An exchange with @yaarur and @ai6yr reminded me of an idea I had a while back. I've added a function (under […]

Fediverse Report 141 - this week's #fediverse news

Mastodon is working towards making one of the longstanding pain points of the fediverse a thing of the past, with the new ability to show all replies to a post. Bonfire is making strides with their Open Science Network platform, and Ghost is […]

Okay, so either Deno's OpenTelemetry metric “http.server.active_requests” (https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/open_telemetry/#http.server.active_requests) is actually cumulative over the lifetime of the process, or I have found the explanation for why […]

Hey @bonfire @mayel and crew, if you ever feel like putting a spec down to attach academic citations to #activitypub objects for your Open Science Network, ping me.

I have ideas for building something out of https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle, https://schema.org/citation and dashes of […]

Just want to say out loud how much I enjoy @cscw posting tirelessly about their latest conference contributions this week. 🤩 I've never even been to CSCW myself, but if you care about the latest research on how people use technology to communicate and collaborate, check out their account.

Extremely pleased to announce the release of the ActivityPub Fuzzer! This is a tool that runs in a local development environment and (partially) emulates known ActivityPub software. It can even create a fake local "public fire hose" shaped like what you might see if you hooked your […]

Over the past few days I have finally gotten postgresql working with @encyclia. That was one of two remaining tasks to finish up before the alpha test, the remaining one now is logging and resource monitoring.

Although I still gotta figure out why it's slow as molasses compared to sqlite. 🫠 I […]

I want to write a program to extract a list of clickable links from a PDF page.

#pypdf can list the link positions/sizes and target URLs. But in a PDF document, links are annotations, which are separate data from the document text.

To get the display text of a clickable link in a PDF, is the […]

That's a wrap on #muc2025 for me. Thank you @mucConf! 👍 I got to meet @marmarta, @raka_a11y and @maxpascher for the first time 👋, and I reconvened with @jannis after a year. 😃 I saw @kakoepferl and @GUPA_President from a distance a few times, but regrettably didn't say hi. 🥲

So @jannis, you […]

Starting the last day of #muc2025 by checking out of my hotel. 🙂 After that I'll be at the conference's last paper session. The only person I can spot in the list who has an account on here is @DBuschek, co-author of “Human-AI Interaction Patterns in Creative Domains and Their Time-Based […]

It got late at #muc2025 for me, which is expected enough for a conference dinner I suppose. I spent the afternoon with association organizers to talk about secret projects™, and from there I went to the conference dinner. Very funny crowd at my table and the food was nice. 🙂 The event was, too […]

Late #muc2025 start for me today, had to spend the morning prepping stuff for the GI FB MCI meeting at 2pm today. But joining up with an academic conference at lunchtime seems appropriate enough, no? 😁 I hope paper session 3 was fun!

My #muc2025 day is slowly coming to an end. I ended up skipping the second paper session ("AI & Robotics" is fairly unlikely to have anything for me). I was going to go to the student #HCI research event in the afternoon, but then I remembered how overcrowded the room was last year, so I went to […]

About to start my #muc2025 day with a keynote by Luigina Ciolfi @luiciolfi, should be good. 😃 Paper sessions after that, gonna be a long day ending with the poster session that I don't want to miss.

(My second presentation yesterday went well, but then I got tired and went to the hotel to sleep.)

First presentation of the day is done (and so is lunch), lots of cool conversations among workshop participants. I talked about my 2016-2020 project almost as much as the 2021-2024 one I was there to present. 😄 #muc2025

First #muc2025 workshop started with a keynote by Ceenu George (TU Berlin @tuberlin), someone I had never come across before, talking about field research methods. Prof. George seems, academically speaking, cool AF? It often feels like the German-speaking #HCI community is small and close-knit […]
