We had our quarterly Hackday at Open Earth Foundation today. It's a day where we don't have any meetings or do any regular tasks. We just get a day to exercise our creativity and make cool things with and for each other.
Some of the projects my colleagues worked on:
- a conference on Open Source and climate change
- a Jira plugin that scores tickets for team effort and mental state
- a dashboard for evaluating biodiversity at a national level
- an AR visualization of climate data on a spinning globe
- a rapid prototyping gap analysis tool
- a documentation section on our wiki for leadership and communications skills
Me, I decided to set up a Mastodon instance for our team.
Total goose egg. I got absolutely nowhere.
I started off making my own K8S layout and after a couple of hours realised I should use a Helm chart instead.
I tested a few Helm charts on my local Docker Desktop, and none worked. So I decided to set up an EKS cluster to run it instead.
Cue two hours of dorking around with IAM JSON. I wasn't ever able to use Helm with the half-broken cluster I got working.
@schizanon@mas.to@evan I heard that @brianleroux is working on a serverless ActivityPub server. You should bug him to release it 
@schizanon @brianleroux neat! I tried to do one on Amazon Lambda a few years ago but ran out of gas.
@evan @schizanon it's much nicer these days but definitely can be a lot to learn (and unlearn from long lived workloads)
@brianleroux @evan @schizanon You have my interest - were you building just the server and planning to use a different client against it? Or both?
@djm @evan @schizanon currently building out indieweb protocols (which are more 1-to-many) and plan to bridge to many-to-many places like masto
@schizanon @evan @brianleroux ooooooooooh subscribe
@zachleat @evan @brianleroux I'm just going to gadfly and make sure that everyone who's working on #indieweb #ActivityPub is sharing each other until y'all open source something I can use
