I think the "running a matrix homeserver" part is done ish, but the "making the caddy proxy connect to the conduit docker swarm service" part is what's screwing me up. Yes, this is a self-inflicted problem once again.

So so lovely to meet lots of the #SocialWeb / #ActivityPub dev community in person at #FOSDEM. As @andypiper said, building the #Fediverse is a team effort and if we work together, we absolutely can do this. And we *must*. ❤️

I'm off to #FOSDEM2025 at the end of this week to join the #SocialWeb devroom, and talk about @manyfold on Saturday afternoon!

Looking forward to talking to folks about #ActivityPub federation, #3dPrinting, #WebGL... pretty much anything TBH! And looking forward to a trip on the Eurostar, too 🚅

I love that the @NGIZero funding I got for @manyfold has let me do some things way earlier than I would have otherwise:

* Accessibility testing
* Security audit
* Sustainability audit
* Translation into 4 languages
* Trust & safety features

And yes, I could have spent that time working on more features to do with actually managing 3d model collections, but paying attention to this stuff is how we professionalise open source. So, thanks for funding and encouraging it @nlnet @NGIZero 😄

Writing a service object like a proper grown-up engineer

#3dPrinting I've just seen that ElegooSlicer now exists, which is a fork of OrcaSlicer, which is a fork of BambuStudio (plus bits of SuperSlicer), which are both forks of PrusaSlicer, which is a fork of Slic3r.

CAN WE PLEASE PLEASE STOP DOING THIS.

If anyone wants to see a talk I did on #ActivityPub, @manyfold and #Federails, here's the one I did at #LRUG in October (and also at #OggCamp the day before):

#OggCamp if anyone wants the slides for my talk yesterday giving an intro to #ActivityPub, it's all online at https://floppy.org.uk/activitypub-talk/

Annoyingly, a very interesting potential contract has fallen through, so I'm on the lookout again for ways to pay the bills while continuing work on @manyfold.

Anyone need a part time data/software architect and Ruby/Rails dev obsessed with Open Source and Open Data?

IT'S ALIVE!

Manyfold is now a real part of the Fediverse!
