Some things I didn't know about #ActivityPub.

def actor_type(actor)
icon =
if actor
case actor.type.split("::").last
when "Person"
"user"
when "Group"
"users"
when "Organization"
"university"
when "Service"
"plug"
when "Application"
"laptop"
else
"user"
end
else
"user"
end

I wonder how to configure this, and if other servers (not just #Ktistec) support it

Right I'm not interested in starting a flame war but I am interested to see how many folk in 2026 use #Wayland or #Wayback and how many use #X11 or even #Xlibre . Feel free if you wish to say what OS/Distribution you use and which window manager or desktop environment below. #Linux #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD
Please boost and thanks in advance.

The #XLibre Xserver 25.1.1 and 25.0.x driver packages are now available in the third-party XLibre for #Debian repository. The support for legacy #Nvidia drivers is compiled in. Please update your drivers to match the Xserver! https://github.com/xlibre-debian/debian

We look forward to further progress with #XLibre this year. One of our resolutions is to involve the community more closely with joint efforts to, e.g., clean up the code base. If you've always wanted to contribute to #FOSS, that could be your chance. Specific announcements will follow.

[16:06] <Xe> there are a lot of things that haven't been shipped yet for opsec reasons
[16:06] <Cindy> is the non-sha256 thing argon2?
[16:07] <Xe> yes there's argon2id

[16:08] <Xe> though I'm more likely going to make hashx the default

[16:08] <Xe> ideally i want like 64 methods that get randomly chosen between
[16:09] <Cindy> and what tor uses
[16:09] <Xe> but i have not had the time or energy

Great, now it will take 5 years instead to load websites!

Today, the Sun reaches the turning point in its journey, and #XLibre celebrates the 6-month anniversary of its first release. A great day for another big one:
XLibre Xserver 25.1.0! This is the first beta in the 25.1 series. Read more about it at https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/wiki/XLibre-XServer-25.1-Changes

Custom emoji feature in Ktistec...

In the display name, the custom emoji is obviously way larger than it should be
