洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

#introduction

安寧(안녕)하세요, 저는 서울에 살고 있는 30代(대) 後半(후반) 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 엔지니어이며, 自由(자유)·오픈 소스 소프트웨어와 聯合宇宙(연합우주)(fediverse)의 熱烈(열렬)한 支持者(지지자)입니다.

저는 TypeScript用(용) ActivityPub 서버 프레임워크인 @fedify 프로젝트와 싱글 유저用(용) ActivityPub 마이크로블로그인 @hollo 프로젝트와 ActivityPub 봇 프레임워크인 @botkit 프로젝트의 製作者(제작자)이기도 합니다.

저는 東(동)아시아 言語(언어)(이른바 #CJK)와 유니코드에도 關心(관심)이 많습니다. 聯合宇宙(연합우주)에서는 國漢文混用體(국한문 혼용체)를 쓰고 있어요! 제게 韓國語(한국어)나 英語(영어), 日本語(일본어)로 말을 걸어주세요. (아니면, 漢文(한문)으로도!)

こんにちは、私はソウルに住んでいる30代後半のオープンソースソフトウェアエンジニアで、自由・オープンソースソフトウェアとフェディバースの熱烈な支持者です。名前は洪 民憙（ホン・ミンヒ）です。

私はTypeScript用のActivityPubサーバーフレームワークである「@fedify」と、ActivityPubをサポートする1人用マイクロブログである 「@hollo」と、ActivityPubのボットを作成する為のシンプルなフレームワークである「@botkit」の作者でもあります。

#自己紹介

@hongminhee @2chanhaeng I see you already got some comments of this nature but was gonna point them out as well. Ibis is the farthest along but Xwiki was the first to add AP to a wiki that I know of. Also Piefed has an added wiki feature for every community but I don't think they federate that part yet.

@hongminhee @2chanhaeng There is an activitypub application/extension for xwiki https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ActivityPub%20Application/

I have no idea how well it works

@hongminhee @2chanhaeng Have you heard of ibis? It seems to have already implemented everything you envisioned.

https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis

Been thinking about fediverse wiki after @2chanhaeng mentioned it today. Some ideas:

• Cross-instance page linking: [[Page Title@other-instance.wiki]]
• Edit pages on other instances with your home account
• Fork pages across instances: [[Page@instance-a.wiki]] → [[Page@instance-b.wiki]], sharing edit history up to the fork point

• Merge forked pages later when needed

The fork/merge model feels natural for federated collaboration. Thoughts?

#fediverse #wiki #fedidev #ActivityPub

@2chanhaeng I think this would be great! There are a lot of ways we could do it. I'd love to work on this architecture.

me in 50 years: 50 years ago we had this thing called mastodon and i had so many followers, and i even made my own projects.

grandkids: a follower? like on your neural link? also you kept an extinct elephant?

me: no no it was an app where—

grandkids: what's an app

me: 💀

@bgl 헉… 걱정이 많으셨겠어요. 😭 그래도 잘 끝났다니 너무 잘 되었네요…!

"Here are some of the projects the @sovtechfund has recently commissioned work on: Scala, SDCC, Let's Encrypt, Servo, chatmail, Drupal, Fedify, openprinting, PHP, Apache Arrow, Open SSL, R Project, Open Web Docs, conda, systemd, and phpseclib"

I'm proud to be a part of the team of program managers working on the @sovtechfund 's side of these projects.

Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency identifies and reviews potential open source software technologies that come into question for commissioning. We accompany the projects, all the way, from the initial proposal to the awarding of the contract through to successful completion of the milestones.

If you are a software developer working on a core open source project, don't hesitate to apply at the Sovereign Tech Fund: https://www.sovereign.tech/programs/fund

Days of debugging a JSR publishing hang that only happens in production. Works instantly on local server, hangs for minutes on jsr.io. The worst kind of bug: unreproducible. I give up for today.

On this topic, calling all #Go #developers interested in lending a hand.

I have two major goals for increasing the unit-test coverage in the individual packages that #GoActivityPub is comprised of.

These are tasks that are very accessible even for people new to the #ActivityPub spec and I would prefer to support new developers that want to give it a try than wait until I have time to do them myself.

The only requirement I have is that if you want to help, you already have some public Go projects that I can have a look at.

Point of contact is on this email (after you "deobfuscate" it): goap＠federated·id

@mariusor Congratulations!

Well, after an initial failure, my #NLNet grant application for #GoActivityPub has been accepted under the NGI0 Commons Fund. 💪

This means that for the next months my main focus will be fully on making #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language easier for other developers.

If you're one of them, reach out, I want to know what you struggle with and how I can help with that.

apkit 0.3.3 has been released!

This includes some big features:
- Synchronous ActivityPubClient - I've implemented an ActivityPubClient for the new sync code! It's based on httpcore, the transport implemention of httpx`.

Bug Fixes:
- Error message clarified when no handler is registered

fediverse report is now scheduled to come out every friday (instead of every tuesday), due to some other work obligations.

so a few more days until the next episode. in the meantime, check out all the fediverse projects nlnet is funding with their latest grant round: https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20251016-selection-NGI0CommonsFund.html

韓国のある小さな中小IT企業で、未経験〜3年目ほどのエンジニアを募集したところ、たった2日で150名以上の応募があった。

それを見ると、40代半ばの中小企業エンジニアの人生も楽ではないけれど、 20代・30代の若手エンジニアたちの人生も決して楽ではないのだと思う。

20年前も就職は難しかったが、今の方が環境的にはずっと良いはずなのに、体感的な就職の難しさはあまり変わっていない気がする。

コロナ禍の頃を思い出すと、あの時のエンジニアの待遇は今とは比べものにならないほど良かった。「エンジニア戦国時代」とまで言われたあの時代を思うと、今の状況は本当に皮肉だ。

春は、もう一度訪れるのだろうか。

── これは、韓国の小さな中小IT企業の一人のエンジニアの視点からの話である。

I'll never forget an HR manager who asked me, at the start of the first day of a new job, "Why are you here?"

And sometimes I also wonder, "Why am I here?"
