Scaling: ActivityPub over NNTP?
<p>Here’s an interesting thought experiment. </p><p>Way back in the 1980s and 90s, Usenet was a sorta-federated discussion forum (using the NNTP protocol) that was very popular. It still exists and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet#Usenet_traffic_changes" rel="nofollow">is distributing 400 million messages each day</a> (mostly spam and trash as far as I can tell). Hard numbers are difficult to come by but it seems like Usenet is capable of significantly higher throughput. Why is that? </p><p>The big thing holding ActivityPub back is the fan-out. You know the story - someone with 50,000 followers causes their instance to send up to 50,000 HTTP POSTs every time they click the little spinny star or reply to something. </p><p>It’s basically a hub-and-spoke network topology. Except everyone takes turns being the hub, ideally, but not much in practice. And in this topology, the hubs are where the strain and bottlenecks are. </p><p>Back in the 1980s they had computers literally 1000 times slower than ours and network links to match. So how did they do this? With a peer to peer network topology! When a new post is made, they don’t send it to everyone they just send it to a handful of other servers. Those servers in turn forward the post on to a handful of other peers, and so on, until the whole network receives the post. No individual server is a single point of failure and none has to bear the full brunt of orchestrating it all. </p><p>Let’s do a picture. A creates a post and sends it to B and D. </p><p>A ─ B ─ C \ / ─ D ─ </p><p>B sends it on to C. </p><p>Meanwhile D sends it on the C also but C already has it so does nothing more. IRL this would be a much larger mesh. Who peers with who can be a mixture of manual selection and random spiciness. </p><p>Posts can arrive out of order so each server would need to wait until the dependencies between posts are resolved before making them available to clients. That’s a bit tricky. </p><p>In the ActivityPub-over-NNTP idea, each NNTP post would be a thin wrapper around a data structure containing the HTTP headers (with signature and digest) and JSON that a normal HTTP POSTed Activity would have. Servers would use NNTP to distribute the activities and upon receiving one they’d POST it to their own /inbox to run the usual ActivityPub processing that their AP instance does. </p><p>{ "headers": { "Signature": "...", "Digest": "...", "Date": "..." }, "activity": { ... normal ActivityPub JSON ... } } </p><p>In this way there is no need to rewrite ActivityPub semantics as only the transport layer changes. Our existing inbox logic remains intact. </p><p>NNTP comes with a lot of historical baggage so we’d probably need to evolve the protocol a bit. Maybe use HTTP requests (even http2 streams?) instead of <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3977" rel="nofollow">the original line-oriented text protocol using raw TCP sockets</a>. But you get the idea. </p><p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse</p><p>@selfhosted</p><p>Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others. </p><p>Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed. </p><p>Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004. </p><p>I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others. </p><p>So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@_elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>_elena</span></a></span> started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost. </p><p>Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros. </p><p>Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...</p><p>In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie. </p><p>Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it. </p><p>For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.</p><p>A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.</p><p>Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.</p><p>My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.</p><p>Hopefully share others' experiences as well! </p><p><a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/blind/" rel="tag">#blind</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/introduction/" rel="tag">#introduction</a> <a href="/tags/selfhost/" rel="tag">#selfhost</a> <a href="/tags/selfhosting/" rel="tag">#selfhosting</a> <a href="/tags/wordpress/" rel="tag">#WordPress</a> <a href="/tags/yunohost/" rel="tag">#YunoHost</a></p>

But did you know the combo just released an album ? It's called "Space for you", and it's brilliant. I've had a real crush on "Vertical dead", may it be the darkest of the 10 titles of the album. And there is such a peculiar sound for guitar solos throughout the whole piece, I couldn't figure how it's produced : is it a synth guitar, paired with an electroacoustic sound ?</p><p>Listen to "Space for you", you'll get a full load of nice tunes and fine progressions, brilliant drumming, and Aelyth's really elegant voice.<br> <a href="https://mirlo.space/sidesister/release/space-for-you" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mirlo.space/sidesister/release/space-for-you"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mirlo.space/sidesister/release</span><span class="invisible">/space-for-you</span></a></p>
