One significant thing #Fediverse ecosystems lacks is the ability to migrate your account along with the posted content. Also, every single #ActivityPub software I've looked at states that changing server implementation without changing the domain is not supported, don't even try (which kinda makes me want to try just 'cuz). Which means if I ever decide to change the software I host my blog on, I have to wave goodbye to the posts I wrote previously. Sure, most of them aren't that notable, but some of them might be?

Anyone knows a good summary of #ActivityPub protocol? Just want to get the basics so that I can mess with some implementations a bit. A post or a tech talk would be great.

Me: let me finish this coffee and get cracking on that project I've been procrastinating on for weeks.

My brain, once the coffee kicks in: heeeey, I've got this idea for a new really cool project, 20-minute adventure, let's go.

Me, next day: I have N+1 unfinished projects now.

Apparently, for a thousand bucks-ish one could become an owner of arsetechnica[.]com. And in a way I am glad I don't have a disposable $1k laying around.

3d printing trick: when designing a complicated part that's supposed to interface with something (idk, a phone case):

1. Export a 2d drawing in 1:1 scale and print it on a regular printer. Cut it out and fit to the part. Pros: very quick and cheap iteration. Cons: meh precision, unless you have god-level scissors skills, hard time with non-flat parts.
2. Make a simplified template part that's quick to 3d print and fit that. If you got some dimensions wrong, adjust, cut away all elements that fit well and re-print. Pros: actually representative of the accuracy your printer will be able to give you, can fit non-flat parts. Cons: kind of slower, though not nearly as bad as printing and scrapping the full part.
