洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

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

はじめまして！ソウル在住の30代後半のオープンソースソフトウェアエンジニア、洪 民憙（ホン・ミンヒ）と申します。バイセクシュアル（bisexual）・ノンバイナリー（non-binary）で、自由・オープンソースソフトウェア（F/OSS）とフェディバース（fediverse）の熱烈な支持者です。

STF（@sovtechfund）の支援を受け、TypeScript用ActivityPubサーバーフレームワーク「@fedify」の開発に専念しています。他にも、おひとり様向けのActivityPubマイクロブログ「@hollo」、ActivityPubボットフレームワーク「@botkit」、ソフトウェア開発者向けフェディバースプラットフォームHackers' Pub、JavaScript・TypeScript用ロギングライブラリLogTapeなどの制作者でもあります。

東アジア言語（いわゆるCJK）とUnicodeにも興味があります。このアカウントでは主に英語で投稿していますが、時々日本語や国漢文混用体（漢字ハングル混じり文）の韓国語でも書いています。実はこの文体で書きたくてフェディバースを始めた、という経緯もあります。日本語、英語、韓国語、漢文でも気軽に話しかけてください！

비거니즘은
동물이니까, 동물을 죽여서 먹지 않는다가 아니라
농축산업계의 기계적, 착취적 행태에 대한 보이콧에 가깝습니다.

단순히 동물이라서 죽이면 안된다가 아니라 우리는 인간이라는 이유로 인간이 아닌 동물을 비인도적으로 대하는 시스템에 대한 의문을 제기하고 비판하고, 이러한 시스템에서 할 수 있는 보이콧인 그 과정을 거친 동물성 식품을 소비하지 않는 것에 가깝습니다.

ActivityPubを一から実装するのをお勧めしない理由みたいな記事書きたい

@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: 💀

만약 구현한다면 무슨 차별점을 가지게 될까 🤔

Fediverse + Wiki

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

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

Currently, apmodel does not uses any JSON-LD processor.

I should test to integrate pyld for apmodel...

@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.

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。

Japan mood:

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?"

@2chanhaeng 퍼포먼스가 잘 나올런지 모르겠네요…? 🤔
