Just pushed a new protoXEP for implementing Remote Control in #XMPP, along with an accompanying implementation in #Libervia!
This is exciting, as it enables not only Remote Desktop, but also controlling devices without video feedback - like using your phone as an ad-hoc touchpad, laptop keyboard to control a Single-board computer, or making automation scripts, and more!
It's designed to be extensible, with plans to add clipboard sharing and gamepad input. Thanks to #NLnet for their support!
I like @Mastodon, however I am also flirting with the #XMPP could-have-been, @movim as a platform to discover. If only #Movim had proper #ActivityPub compatibility.
Coming soon: it’s going to be trivial to deploy a different app on your Small Web server. Useful if you’re a dev and you’re playing around with different apps.
(Also, notice the speed at which deployment happens. I’m one step away from implementing this in Domain using pre-warmed Kitten instances – called toasty kittens – thereby bringing the time it takes to deploy your own Small Web place down to a handful of seconds.)
Webinar Announcement:
Open source CPU and SoC design tools
Through the lens of the SpinalHDL, VexRiscv and NaxRiscv projects, this webinar will introduce the kind of tooling which is involved in designing a CPU and deploying it on hardware, the related challenges, the similarities and differences between hardware and software open-source, how the industry interact with open-source hardware, as well as the difficulties that the scale of such project creates. https://nlnet.nl/events/20240411/index.html #NGI#nlnet
After several month of hard work we are pleased to announce that we just released Monal 6.0! 🥳
This version comes with new artwork by Ann-Sophie Zwahlen, support for Audio-Calls funded by the EU’s #NGIAssure via the NLnet Foundation and many, many other improvements and bugfixes. The full list of changes can be seen in the following posts.
Today's question for a resilient #Fediverse is whether various different initiatives are willing to collaborate and cross-pollinate, while keeping their independence.
There's great opportunity to increase the cohesion of the #GrassrootsFedi#ActivityPub developer community and creating strong joins:
#OX (XEP-0373, XEP-0374: #OpenPGP for #XMPP, without security problems of historical XEP-0027) implementation has been merged to #Libervia, thanks to Syndace again, and #NLnet for their funding.
OX doesn't have PFS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy) but that means that new devices can access archives, which may be desirable. Also, it can encrypt arbitrary elements.
