@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe would it be possible to have federation deletion jobs that don't find the thing to delete not be considered a failed job? I seem to get an awful lot of them (enough to drop federation job success rates down to ~60% sometimes) which makes it hard to spot actual problems when they do happen. Especially because (it appears?) some servers keep on sending the deletion requests, meaning that it's showing errors for things that have already been successfully deleted.
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu yeah good idea, the reason there's so many is that mastodon sends Delete activities far and wide to try and ensure no deleted posts linger on other servers, we've tried optimising that in the past with github.com/bonfire-networks/... but we have an open issue to tackle it better: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
ok! i think @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe has resolved the federation issues in 1.0.5-beta.1!
@christopher@gay.amsterdam yay 😊 thanks for your help debugging them!

It needs to be one of the registered users of openscience.net such as
@brembs
Or
@UlrikeHahn
😁
@olibrendel@scicomm.xyz fyi the sandbox instance is only meant for testing how it looks like, it's not intended to be a fully working / federated instance as we do not aim for running flagship instances (decentralisation ftw). That said, we will send you an invite soon

@A_J_Millar @olibrendel Yes ! Well Open Science Network is based on ActivityPub and offers many useful features for scientists and their institutions that Mastodon does not provide, integrating closed discussions and circles. It can be used to build scientific discourse around manuscripts. One good way to get info is to check their blog : https://openscience.network/blog/. Another one is to ask them directly : @Bonfire

With the exodus from big tech social media, people often wonder where they find events for their city or community. The need for community driven/owned event calendars rises and with it people starting one themselves. Nowadays there are a couple of viable technical solutions, but the real question is: How do you get people to use them. In this blog post we reflect on nearly 5 years of building and operating @eintopf@sueden.social We hope this will help others to make their calendar a success. Comments and additions highly welcome.

YAAAAAAAA @Bonfire is a HONOURABLE MENTION at the very first #OpenSocialAwards at @publicspaces
🐌 Slow Software for a Burning World ❤️🔥
(Also the most shy people in the room)
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe Running it already!
Hmm. I seem to be having some issues with search. Do I need to change anything on the config side for 1.0.4? (Trying to tag somebody in the composer is showing me ActivityPub IDs, not tags, and trying to use the search box just starts a UI reload loop)
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu thanks for reporting! We can reproduce the autocomplete issue but not the search, could you please send us app logs of when it refreshes?
Checked if there was a @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe release for the first time in a few days and noticed there was, and then was puzzled when I couldn't download the container image.
On double checking the time stamps, turns out I had tried to pull the image less than 2 minutes after Mayel pushed the commit.
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu it's out now 😊

Best trackpoint cap shape/design?
Rubber eraser caps can still be found from Unicomp, btw.

Testing some setting, help appreciated.
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe Just as a heads up, this post renders as an audio file for me? Following the link to the source file takes me to the 1.0.3 release announcement
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu thanks for the heads up! we were testing a new feature, still a few rough edges 😊
We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥
Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:
- Federated comments embeddable on any web page.
- Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.
- New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.
-
#CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...
-
Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.
@Bonfire When I tried to run the default Bonfire executables on my device, it crashed with a segfault, and investigating further it seems to be caused because my device lacks AVX instructions. Maybe there's some flag I can use to manually build without AVX support? I was using the version shipped by YunoHost: github.com/YunoHost-Apps/bonfi…
@csolisr@hub.azkware.net ah yeah it probably would have to built for (ideally on) your machine in this case
Terrible moment to learn that #Bonfire, the up-and-coming #ActivityPub implementation, apparently has a hard dependency on #AVX instructions that my home server's chipset physically lacks. I'd have to spend upwards of $400 just to replace my server in order to test it, sigh... @Bonfire
@csolisr@hub.azkware.net Which dependency did you see on AVX? our markdown renderer for example uses it when available but has a fallback which should be enabled automatically when not available (otherwise you can force it with `MDEX_USE_LEGACY_ARTIFACTS=true`. In any case please provide more info or open a bug report.
