@drwho Sure!

나름 여유 생긴 김에 하던거 계속 하는 중. 오늘은 불규칙을 좀 처리해봤는데 예쁜 접근인지는 아리까리 해서 좀 더 생각해봐야 할 듯

Fedify 같은 fediverse 소프트웨어 개발 키트가 이미 나와있고, 코딩 에이전트 덕분에 구현 속도는 어지간하면 가속화가 가능하기 때문에, Fediverse 소프트웨어를 만드는 진입장벽의 bar는 점점 낮아지고 있는 것 같은데, 사용성이라던가 제품으로서 시장에 정착할 수 있냐의 문제는 풀기 어려운 숙제인 것 같다.

Mastodon은 그래도 시장에 잘 정착한 것 같은데, "비슷한 것을 만들 수 있다"라고 해도 이게 롱런하느냐는 별개..

1. 시장에서 어떻게 정체성을 가지고 정착할 것인가
2. 사람들이 쓰기 편한 물건인가
3. 그러면서, self-host가 가능한 인프라 요구조건인가

이런 쪽으로 밸런스가 잘 맞는걸 만드는 것 자체가 굉장히 챌린징한 과제인 듯

@milas I'm so glad you're using Fedify. Thank you!

I don't own a car. I take public transit everywhere, and I do think personal vehicle use has real environmental costs. But I don't think driving is inherently unethical.

I live in Seoul, and the city makes transit easy for me. That's not a virtue. It's a condition I happen to benefit from. Some people live where transit barely exists, or where it doesn't get them to work, school, or care. In those places, driving is not optional.

The same is true of flying. In parts of Europe you can cross borders by train. In island nations, or in places with weak land connections, flying may be the only realistic option. “Just fly less” means very different things in those places.

A lot of what gets called my ethical choices comes from the conditions I live in. That makes me wary of turning structural failures into personal morality. If the alternative is missing or unusable, shaming people for not choosing it solves nothing.

When environmental harm gets framed as individual moral failure, attention shifts away from the structural changes that would actually matter. It's not an accident that oil companies spent decades popularizing the idea of the personal carbon footprint.

#툿친소 #연친소 #별친소 #자기소개

Hello! I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), an open source software engineer in my late 30s, living in Seoul, Korea. I'm bisexual and non-binary (they/them), and an enthusiastic advocate of free/open source software and the fediverse.

I work full-time on @fedify, an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, funded by @sovtechfund. I'm also the creator of @hollo, a single-user ActivityPub microblog; @botkit, an ActivityPub bot framework; Hackers' Pub, a fediverse platform for software developers; and LogTape, a logging library for JavaScript and TypeScript.

I have a long interest in East Asian languages (CJK) and Unicode. I post mostly in English here, though occasionally in Japanese or in mixed-script Korean (國漢文混用體), a traditional writing style that interleaves Chinese characters with the native Korean alphabet. Wanting to write in that style was actually one of the reasons I joined the fediverse. Feel free to talk to me in English, Korean, Japanese, or even Literary Chinese!

#introduction

The languages are from entirely different language trees.

Hokkien / Teochew are southern Min languages, Cantonese is a Yue language

Mutual intelligibility is debatable, but many (especially older folks) just learn all the ones they need informally. My parents speak Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, Mandarin.

#Languages #Chinese

In many Chinese families it’s pretty common for people to talk to each other in completely different languages. My New York aunt speaks to me in Mandarin / Hokkien. She speaks to her husband in Toishanese. They speak Cantonese to other people. We all sort of understand each other when we are speaking different languages, but respond in our own language. From time to time we might dip into another language to illustrate a point.

My grandma used to call this ‘chicken and duck talk’

@evanprodromou @evan Thank you for spreading the word! By the way, I don't know why, but the first link seems broken. Could you replace the link with https://hackers.pub/@fedidevkr/2026/fediverse-social-web-track-at-coscup-2026-cfp?

The #CFP for the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026 (Taipei, Aug 8–9) is now open! If you're working on #ActivityPub, the #fediverse, or anything in the open social web space, we'd love to hear from you. The deadline is May 9. #COSCUP is free to attend.

RE: https://hackers.pub/@fedidevkr/2026/fediverse-social-web-track-at-coscup-2026-cfp

Read it in other languages: 日本語 (Japanese), 한국어 (Korean).

FediDev KR and FediLUG (Japan) are pleased to announce the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026, and invite participants to submit proposals for talks.

COSCUP (Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters) is a free, community-run open source conference held annually in Taipei, Taiwan. Think FOSDEM, but in East Asia. This year it takes place August 8–9 at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and is co-hosted with UbuCon Asia 2026.

The Fediverse & Social Web track runs for a full day, six hours in total. It is the first dedicated fediverse track at a major open source conference in East Asia, and we hope it becomes a regular gathering point for the fediverse community in the region.

Format

The default talk length is 30 minutes. If you need more or less time, note your preferred length when submitting.

Topics

We welcome proposals on anything related to the fediverse and the open social web, including:

• Implementations of ActivityPub or related protocols
• Clients for ActivityPub-enabled software
• Libraries, toolkits, and frameworks for fediverse development
• Supporting services: search, onboarding, moderation tooling
• Instance administration and operations
• Governance, policy, and the social dimensions of running federated communities
• The broader open social web and interoperability

Important dates

• Submission opens: March 28, 2026
• Submission deadline: May 9, 2026 (AoE)
• Acceptance notifications: June 9, 2026
• Conference: August 8–9, 2026

Submissions

Submit proposals at https://pretalx.coscup.org/coscup-2026/cfp. Select Fediverse & Social Web from the track dropdown.

You can write your proposal in English or Chinese. COSCUP publishes session descriptions bilingually in English and Chinese, but that translation happens after acceptance; you don't need to provide both languages when submitting.

All sessions will be recorded and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. If your talk contains material that cannot be recorded or released under those terms, please note this in your submission.

Code of conduct

All speakers and attendees are expected to follow the COSCUP Code of Conduct.

Contact

Questions about the track, topics, or the fediverse in general are welcome at contact@fedidev.kr or @fedidevkr on the fediverse.

"I used AI. It worked. I hated it." by @mttaggart https://taggart-tech.com/reckoning/

This is a really good blogpost. And I"m sure it'll make some people unhappy to read whether they're pro or anti genAI. What's good about @mttaggart's blogpost is he talks honestly about how using Claude Code did actually solve the problem he set out to do. It needed various guardrails, but they were possible to set up, and the project worked. But the post is also completely clear and honest about how miserable it was:

- It removed the joy from the process
- If you aim to do the right thing and carefully evaluate the output, your job ends up eventually becoming "tapping the Y key"
- Ramifications on people learning things
- Plenty of other ethical analysis
- And the nagging wonder whether to use it next time, despite it being miserable.

I think this is important, because it *is* true that these tools are getting to the point where they can accomplish a lot of tasks, but the caveat space is very large (cotd)

I just wrapped up my appearance on the @firesidefedi live stream today. @ozoned, thank you so much for having me today. You made me feel so comfortable that I think I was able to do a good job without getting too nervous.

@bookstardust 1980年代(년대)까지는 韓國語(한국어)도 日本語(일본어)처럼 漢字(한자)를 함께 썼어요. 이제는 한글만 쓰니까 더 便(편)해졌죠!

當然(당연)하게도 現代(현대) 韓國語(한국어)는 大部分(대부분) 한글專用(전용)으로 作成(작성)되어 있기에 【日食(일식)】과 【日蝕(일식)】을 區分(구분)하는 現代(현대) 韓國語(한국어) 말뭉치는 어디에도 없는 듯… 내가 스스로 말뭉치를 만들어야 하게 생겼다. 😂

I don't like RMS, but I like some of his ideas.

The movement of European digital sovereignty feels kinda off for me.

afaict the major reason is to prevent being affected by powerful foreign governments (mainly the US). But what makes European things automatically better? We are also right wing enough here, what prevents them from being enshitificated by the own European governments and even EU?

The focus should not be whether it's European (which feels racist), but should rather about whether it's structurally dictator-resistant.

Interesting to see combinator conditions on #typescript for CLI.

This is something that's hard to do in any CLI library. Easier with typed languages, but still can be complex. Very cool to see with #optique and their approach leveraging the type system. 😎

Fedify security updates: 1.9.7, 1.10.6, 2.0.10, and 2.1.3

If you use Fedify, update to a patched release now. A high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2026-34148) affects Fedify's remote document loader and authenticated document loader. Both follow HTTP redirects without a redirect limit or loop detection. An attacker-controlled server can return a redirect loop for a keyId or actor URL fetch, causing a single inbound ActivityPub request to keep issuing outbound requests until the fetch times out.

All versions up to and including 2.1.0 are affected. Patched releases are 1.9.7, 1.10.6, 2.0.10, and 2.1.3. Update with your package manager:

npm update @fedify/fedify
yarn upgrade @fedify/fedify
pnpm update @fedify/fedify
bun update @fedify/fedify
deno update @fedify/fedify

After updating, redeploy. If you run other Fedify-based servers, update those too.

Thanks to Abhinav Jaswal for the report and responsible disclosure. Disclosure was coordinated with Ghost so they had time to ship their update.

If anything is unclear, ask below.

Actually, this is also one of the small reasons why I want to escape from GitHub.

On some of my old accounts like GitHub, I use the handle dahlia instead of hongminhee, which comes from a song by X JAPAN, a Japanese rock band I liked in middle school. After entering the workforce, I thought it would be better to use my real name so I stopped using it, but I have no choice but to keep it on some accounts to maintain permalinks.

@knowtheory.net Of course!
