I'm calling it.

I'm cancelling the second half of this Wednesday.

You can print out this post and give it to your employer.

It is valid for the rest of the day.

Everybody go home.

Finally managed to get some #qaul.net stuff to work that sends a text message through a full application stack, through a network of three nodes!

There's a 100 other things on my laundry list but this is a bit of a weight off my shoulders because it was a pretty big blocker!

Posted about it on our ML and I guess I'll clean up the code and push the changes to master soon.

In case you're not familiar, #qaul.net is a free software project that aims to connect people via ad-hoc mesh networks. Born out of the riots in Egypt in 2011, and the #freifunk project, it made Android phones able to create decentralised, internet-independent networks on the go, with very little technical knowledge required to set it up!

The project is currently grant funded and what I get most of my money for to live. WE have an IRC channel on freenode if you wanna say hi, and the above ML.

I've just released a simple #ActivityPub debugging tool. It's hosted on Glitch so you don't have to worry about spinning up servers or SSL certs etc. You clone your own copy of the project, set it up, and you can create ActivityPub accounts that can send any raw JSON payload you specify to its followers. I use it for testing new and novel ActivityPub objects, and to test compatibility with messages sent from remote servers without needing to create an account on them.
