Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Towards End-to-End Encryption for Direct Messages in the Fediverse
What Moxie wrote was about his decisions with Signal. It's not that relevant to this post for distinct two reasons:
1. One of the stated anti-tenets of what I'm proposing is competing with Signal. https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification#anti-t...
2. Cryptography has matured greatly since Moxie wrote that post.
I feel confident about rolling out a v1 E2EE protocol for the Fediverse in 2023, and then a v2 in 2024 or later.
Migration is a two-putt, but it's tractable. I've worked on similar message format migrations before.
1. Roll out read-only support for v2.
2. Enable writing. Now people can start using v2.
3. Later, once the new version is ubiquitous for the scope of your concern, disable v1.
It's not as fast as if you own the whole stack (like Signal does).

AMA with Eugen Rochko, Founder and lead developer of Mastodon, a decentralized, open-source social media platform based on open web protocols. Ask your questions here!
This is a very hard problem to solve. I know it's being worked on by some smart people though, see https://soatok.blog/2022/11/22/towards-end-to-end-encryption-for-direct-messages-in-the-fediverse/

End-to-end encrypted messages need more than libsignal

tankies mad about sites that actually have ToS
The good news is that because Mastodon is open source, and development is done in the open, anyone with the needed skills and interest could implement it right, and there is a project spearheaded by cryptography experts to do just that. https://github.com/soatok/mastodon-e2ee-specification

Discussion Thread
I think I could significantly speed up User Pinger by using async PRAW to send all the ping messages concurrently but I don't really understand how to embed an asynchronous task within a larger synchronous function
Yeah, in this case probably the only reason I didn't get hacked was because the example config file I have publicly online doesn't include the mistake I made
It was the result of people saying that they had a difficult time clicking on the links before. I can change it any time, because now the bot uses proper text templating 😌
That's what I'm thinking. I already have the API grabbing data from Reddit to determine whether someone is a mod, so it wouldn't be much additional work to return the comments of a thread as a JSON object
For user_pinger_2 I define a list of "recoverable errors" and have the bot run in a while True loop that restarts if it throws one of those. See the bottom of this file. Those are Reddit-side errors, but you could presumably add specific client side ones if you know which are safe

I made a history page for User Pinger
The code is available on GitHub here https://github.com/neoliberal/user_pinger_2/
- Heads up - Reddit's access tokens seem to be changing format
- Add feature to receive pings after "!ping" comment receives net 10 upvotes
- User Pinger 2
