I wonder why Codeberg gets targeted by so many DDoS attacks.

Is it the same (or similar) entity behind each attack? Is it new entities each time?

Why even do it?

When social networks went mainstream in 2003, they were initially positioned as dating apps — both Friendster and its copycat MySpace had online dating vibes (later that year, Mark Zuckerberg would use the "hot or not" format in Facemash...but that's another, creepier, story!). Here's a look […]

Okay, I got some slides for the first Brazilian Open Social Web event at their ministry of science, technology and innovation in Brasilia tomorrow, organized by @thiago and friends.

I'll be remote and they will provide simultaneous translation. Should be fun!

Are there any combination #activitypub servers and #atproto PDSs?
So one can post on both networks simultaneously?

I have a question for #activitypub fanatics. For the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2026, we've reached out to over 50 different Fediverse projects to make sure they know about the event. Is there anyone else we need to reach? If you know someone working on Fediverse software development OR […]

@dansup brings up an important point. I don't know of a lot of Fediverse developers who have received grants from the Canadian government. I built pumpio.org almost entirely with SR&D credits for StatusNet. That's the best example I can think of.

Given how many of us there are here, and how […]

One of my wife's friends started up a "vibe coding" meetup.

My wife encouraged me to attend — although I suspect my wife encouraged me to attend so she could hang out with her friend afterwards 🙂

I have been programming for over 30 years — I don't think vibe coding has much […]
