The bell for the last task of the night started chiming before I got to my station. I had the office to myself, and a mug of espresso. It was time to start tracking zombies.
I took the mug of espresso from the beverage table, and zigzagged through the darkened cube farm toward the one strip of floor still lit for third shift staff, only me.
Zombies are orphan Internet services. They wander aimlessly, trying to execute some programmed task. They can’t actually infect anything, but otherwise the name is about right. TrueNet’s everywhere now and has been for twenty years, but Japan never quite sorted out what to do with all the legacy servers that were stranded after the Lockout. So you get all these zombies shuffling around, firing off mails to non-existent addresses, pushing ads no one will see, maybe even sending money to non-existent accounts. The living dead.

things i discovered today:
WebAssembly as a Smalltalk Compilation Target by craig latta; see also the (more recent) posts on his blog
impress.js
there is a package for #orgmode called ox-impress-js but maybe it needs updates? it’s ancient.

@npub1ehd…udlw i’m sorry, there is something that doesn’t seem right about this. i went to settings > extra features, and turned the extra features on (i left the post format as text/plain). then, i went to an earlier post of mine and replied to it twice, once with the post format as text/plain, and once as text/markdown. i posted, in order:
*italic* as plain
*italic* as markdown
when i view the posts in fedilab, the first one shows up properly italicized, but the second one doesn’t. when i view them in pleroma-fe (or husky), the order is reversed – the first one isn’t italicized, but the second one is.
in the db, the first one:
"source": {
"content": "*italic* as plain.",
"mediaType": "text/plain"
},
"content": "*italic* as plain.",
the second one:
"source": {
"content": "*italic* as markdown",
"mediaType": "text/markdown"
},
"content": "italic as markdown",
i think there are two issues here.
the second one should show up italicized in fedilab.
if fedilab can parse the first one as markdown when it’s displaying it to the user (even though the media type is text/plain), it should probably also post it to the server as text/markdown when the user creates it – it could guess that, or ask the user perhaps?
can i get you to please try husky, the tusky fork that supports markdown? it shows an “M” button to switch to markdown, and it seems to work as i’d expect. it’s on f-droid and the play store. i believe husky doesn’t try to guess the type from the content.

@npub1ehd…udlw i might be wrong here, but it seems like when you make a markdown post with fedilab, it uses the mediaType of text/plain. is that correct? shouldn’t that be text/markdown?
i can enter markdown natively in pleroma, using its default frontend. here’s the difference i see in the db:
pleroma:
"source": {
"content": "```\r\ntired: bitcoin\r\nwired: nvidia h100\r\n```",
"mediaType": "text/markdown"
},
"content": "<pre><code>tired: bitcoin\nwired: nvidia h100\n</code></pre>",
fedilab:
"source": {
"content": "fedilab test\n\n*italic*?\n**bold**?",
"mediaType": "text/plain"
},
"content": "fedilab test *italic*? **bold**?",
husky also supports markdown:
"source": {
"content": "_relax_\n\n~~okay~~",
"mediaType": "text/markdown"
},
"content": "relax<del>okay</del>",

@npub1ysu…2jyl @npub1dkv…exrl @npub1pjx…cw4w ubuntu 23.04 has risc-v support, for five or six boards: https://ubuntu.com/download/risc-v
lots of caveats, like missing nvme support for the vf2.

There are patent attorneys in Reno who swear that Manfred Macx is a pseudo, a net alias fronting for a bunch of crazed anonymous hackers armed with the Genetic Algorithm That Ate Calcutta: a kind of Serdar Argic of intellectual property, or maybe another Bourbaki maths borg.
