 # activity pub

+If you were expecting a mastodon profile.. um. hi. I'm writing my own activitypub software.
+
+## Feb 17th 2023
+
+I added a link to this blog post from
+=> /~epoch/
+for when people try to view my fediverse profile and see that weird thing.
+so, there was a lot of changes since the 3rd. went with a naming prefix for everything of ap-[stuff]
+and renamed object to actor in the appropriate places, because I want to use "object" to refer to
+the types of objects that get passed around inside of the activity objects.
+
+Um... made up a URI scheme for myself until I figure out something better.
+examples:
+
+=> actpub:follow?uri=https://thebackupbox.net/~epoch/
+=> actpub:like?uri=https://thebackupbox.net/~epoch/notes/example
+
+I also have acct: URIs that go with each object when it is outputted as html.
+and an acct: URI handler on my desktop that gives me an option of a few things
+to do with it.
+
+the uh, actpub URI handlers are passed to uristart, and the config lines for those are:
+
+```
+s actpub p like:	export QUERY_STRING='%q' ; $(printf "$(oxtin)" ap-like) "$(uriunescape "$(query_param uri)")"
+s actpub p follow:	export QUERY_STRING='%q' ; $(printf "$(oxtin)" ap-follow) "$(ap-actor2acct "$(uriunescape "$(query_param uri)")" | uricut -p )"
+```
+
+the follow one is such a mess because ap-follow was written to use acct values
+and not actor URIs, so it has to do some extra effort.
+
+I added better paging to my ap-inbox.cgi, and use
+=> https://htmx.org/ htmx
+to do infinite scroll.
+
+atm I don't have any way to post to the fediverse.
+
+I really don't want my server to have my private key.
+
+oh yeah. I changed a handful of URLs in my actor object
+and for the last week I've been getting stuff sent to the old values still.
+:/
+
+Not sure how I can get other servers to re-pull that info.
+Would also be nice if other fediverse servers would work with the If-Modified-Since
+so I could cause even less traffic.
+
+I've been trying to cache as much stuff as I can.
+Um... I dunno.
+
+Maybe I can make a form that submits to actpub:create ?
+that might be neat. I'm not trying to build too much of this server-side.
+
+I know the spec says clients talk to server, and server talks to other servers but...
+
 ## Feb 3rd 2023

 got a shell script written that can do Follows (tested) and Likes (not tested)

 I commit'd it to the actpub repo

-=> http://git.thebackupbox.net/actpub/
+=> //git.thebackupbox.net/actpub/

 I can't receive messages over actpub yet.
 I gotta finish up the shared inbox path on my server.
