<p>🎉 Huge shoutouts to two amazing contributors from Korea&#x27;s <a href="/tags/ossca/" rel="tag">#OSSCA</a> program who just made <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a> even better!</p><p>First, <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@z9mb1" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>z9mb1</span></a></span> delivered <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/321" rel="nofollow">PR #321</a>, adding a handy -o/--output option to fedify lookup. Now you can save lookup results directly to files instead of just printing to terminal—a nice quality-of-life improvement for analysis and scripting workflows.</p><p>But the real showstopper is <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@joonnot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>joonnot</span></a></span>&#x27;s incredible <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/283" rel="nofollow">PR #283</a>, which introduces the brand new @fedify/testing package! This massive contribution (2,014 lines across 20 files) brings MockFederation and MockContext classes that completely transform how we test federated applications. No more complex setups or actual network requests—just clean, straightforward unit testing with activity tracking, inbox simulation, and queue-aware testing capabilities.</p><p>These contributions solve real pain points and showcase the amazing talent emerging from the OSSCA program. Both features will be available in the upcoming Fedify 1.8 release. The future of federated software development just got a lot brighter! 🚀</p><p><a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#opensource</a></p>

Edit: Thanks to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://tech.lgbt/@GeopJr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>GeopJr</span></a></span> for pointing this out: this AI assistant is a third-party project and not directly affiliated with the GNOME desktop. I was tripped up by the wording of the Phoronix post I shared, which could have made this point clearer. I&#x27;ll leave the original post below for the sake of transparency and also in case it helps anyone else who was similarly confused.<br><br>I am very twitchy about what&#x27;s happening with AI polluting every corner of Microsoft Windows and am worried the same will happen to at least some Linux distributions.

<p>We&#x27;d like to recognize some excellent contributions from our <a href="/tags/ossca/" rel="tag">#OSSCA</a> (Open Source Contribution Academy) participants who have been working on <a href="/tags/fedify/" rel="tag">#Fedify</a>.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://yuri.garden/@gaebalgom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gaebalgom</span></a></span> contributed <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/339" rel="nofollow">PR #339</a>, which introduces the @fedify/elysia package to provide <a href="https://elysiajs.com/" rel="nofollow">Elysia</a> integration for Fedify. This work addresses <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/286" rel="nofollow">issue #286</a> by creating a plugin that enables developers using <a href="/tags/bun/" rel="tag">#Bun</a> and <a href="/tags/elysia/" rel="tag">#Elysia</a> to integrate Fedify&#x27;s <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> capabilities into their applications. The contribution includes the core integration module, documentation, examples, and proper monorepo configuration, making Fedify accessible to the Elysia community.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@r4bb1t" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>r4bb1t</span></a></span> submitted <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/315" rel="nofollow">PR #315</a>, implementing comprehensive <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal" rel="nofollow">AbortSignal</a> support across multiple APIs to resolve <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/51" rel="nofollow">issue #51</a>. This contribution adds request cancellation capabilities not only to lookupWebFinger() but also to lookupObject(), DocumentLoader, and the HTTP signature authentication flow (doubleKnock()), allowing developers to properly handle timeouts and abort ongoing requests throughout the entire request chain. The implementation includes extensive test coverage for cancellation scenarios across all affected components and lays the groundwork for <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/258" rel="nofollow">adding --timeout options to various CLI commands like fedify lookup</a>, fedify webfinger, and fedify nodeinfo, making federated applications more robust and responsive.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@ooheunda" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ooheunda</span></a></span> addressed a testing infrastructure issue with <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/350" rel="nofollow">PR #350</a>, fixing a race condition in PostgreSQL message queue tests that was causing intermittent failures (<a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/346" rel="nofollow">issue #346</a>). By adding explicit initialization before concurrent message queue listeners, this fix prevents table creation conflicts that were affecting test reliability, ensuring more consistent PR testing for all contributors.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hackers.pub/@songbirds" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>songbirds</span></a></span> provided two test stability improvements with <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/344" rel="nofollow">PR #344</a> and <a href="https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/pull/347" rel="nofollow">PR #347</a>. The first PR adds skip guards to RedisKvStore tests as a workaround for a known Bun runtime issue, keeping the test suite functional while awaiting an upstream fix. The second PR resolves a race condition in the code generation process by randomizing output filenames, preventing conflicts during parallel test execution. These contributions help maintain a stable testing environment for the project.</p><p>Thank you all for your contributions to Fedify.

<p>&quot;This Week in Plasma&quot; brings the news that System Settings&#x27; pages become &quot;smart&quot; and can mark themselves as &quot;not relevant&quot; if, for example, you do not have the hardware to use them. They can also export actions to the sidebar, allowing you to quickly toggle devices on and off. And Discover can now be opened directly from Install buttons on FlatHub.</p><p>Read about this, and much more in Nate&#x27;s blog post:</p><p><a href="https://blogs.kde.org/2025/08/09/this-week-in-plasma-quick-toggles-in-system-settings/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="blogs.kde.org/2025/08/09/this-week-in-plasma-quick-toggles-in-system-settings/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blogs.kde.org/2025/08/09/this-</span><span class="invisible">week-in-plasma-quick-toggles-in-system-settings/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/plasma6/" rel="tag">#Plasma6</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> <a href="/tags/desktop/" rel="tag">#desktop</a></p><p>@[email protected]</p>

<p>TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.</p><p>In the period where the following commands were valid</p><p>ATX3DT <br>ATA </p><p>Such editors were standard. I&#x27;m talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.</p><p>The editor I&#x27;m learning again about is nvi<br>I&#x27;m going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing </p><p><a href="/tags/vi/" rel="tag">#vi</a> <a href="/tags/nvi/" rel="tag">#nvi</a> <a href="/tags/vim/" rel="tag">#vim</a> <a href="/tags/vimmasterrace/" rel="tag">#VimMasterRace</a> <a href="/tags/editor/" rel="tag">#editor</a> <a href="/tags/ssh/" rel="tag">#SSH</a> <a href="/tags/at/" rel="tag">#AT</a> <a href="/tags/hayes/" rel="tag">#Hayes</a> <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> <a href="/tags/programming/" rel="tag">#programming</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> </p><p><a href="https://4c6e.xyz/code_notes.html" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>4c6e.xyz/code_notes.html</a></p>
