I still have a few things to finish manually merging from upsteam in !postActiv - so until I get there, if you use nightly postActiv, you will want to delete /plugins/OStatus/ #postActiv -

Just pushed a big documentation update: documenting the OStatus_profile class that contains most of the information stored on remote profiles in !postActiv. I'll be generating the HTML docs and updating the sites shortly. #postActiv -

Just pushed code documentation for the File class to !postActiv nightly. I probably don't have to state the usefulness of that particular part of code documentation ;) #postActiv -

Documented the Config class for people interested in how !postActiv stores config settings internally. Pushing the change now, code docs on the site will be updated in a bit. #postActiv -

Also merged another MR from @bob into !postActiv nightly which should set up gzip compression automatically for the instance so that should help performance as well. #postActiv -

Merged a change into !postActiv from @bob that changes the default setup of the postActiv debian auto-installer to use the www-data user for daemons, as I believe was suggested by @vinzv #postActiv -

Anyone interested in the !postActiv logo design, whether it just be pitching in opinions or helping design it or whatever, can find an issue on the tracker here: https://git.postactiv.com/postActiv/postActiv/issues/126 #postActiv -

Put the 10$ I have left after fees etc from last month's patreon pledges for !postActiv as a bounty for a postActiv logo, for any of you that were thinking about maybe tackling it. I know its nowheres near what professional recompense is for logo design, but it's what I can afford and have left over to offer for the bounty so I figured I'd put it towards that task. #postActiv -

So since some people have a distaste for followbots, I have added a feature to !postActiv to allow people to filter subscribers against a Perl-compatible regular expression.
To set it, put this in your config.php:
$config['site']['sanctions']['subscriptions_filter'] = "PCRE goes here";
Then any user who tries to subscribe to you who matches the filter will receive an authorization error and will not be able to subscribe.
Of course, be careful with what PCRE you put in that field, because you can have false positives if you're not.

Updating the !postActiv site with the new docs, quite a few core classes are now minimally documented which should help a ton. #postActiv -

So a biggish code documentation dump for !postActiv this morning, goodness it feels good to be in action again. The site will be updated shortly, and then I'm going to grab some grub and get back to it. A gentle reminder that if you like what we're doing with #postActiv you can support the project by submitting patches or financially via patreon at https://www.patreon.com/postActiv - thanks again for those whom have done either or both :) I will have a couple new bounties up shortly too once I have write ups for them, but noms time for now ;) -

And another hour ish later, thats code documentation done for the User_group class in !postActiv which is probably also helpful for people looking to modify or make plugins for #postActiv :) -

Phew that took like an hour and a half but I got code documentation done for the User class in !postActiv, which no doubt will be helpful for people looking to hack on it. #postActiv
It will be pushed to the repo shortly. -

I pushed a change to !postActiv that includes reportedly missing database tables in the creation, however, I need people who don't mind testing/proving this to give it a spin and let me know how it works out for them. #postActiv
(Some of these I think are from dead plugins but they were being complained about regardless) -

I don't include HLA's server expenses in postActiv's stated patreon since a couple people asked. I consider that part of HLA's stuff, not part of postActiv's.
The expenses for postActiv here webops way are a few things:
1] dedicated server lease (bulk of the money, right here)
2] domain name fees and other stuff like that
3] offsite backup
4] a few incidentals like stock photography I use in the site, though I would prefer to find similar CC licensed stuff I can't spin days looking for it so...
5] I put a couple hours worth of the going rate for sysadmin stuff in that price to be fair to myself about the time taken to keep the server for the website (postactiv.com) and the instance going steady. It's probably more than this if I pinched pennies and minutes and hours and all that, but as couple hours at min wage seems more than fair.
So I guess this can be considered a FYI post for !postActiv patreon contributors #postActiv -

Okay, I just pushed a commit to !postActiv nightly that has hubsub callback blocking for instances. What does this mean? Basically when they hubout messages to you, these messages can be blocked.
!!!! Things to note: !!!!
1 - @-mentions are not blocked, those are done with salmons.
2- YOUR OWN hubouts are not blocked, so they will still be sent out to banned instances (for now)
To do this on latest !postActiv nightly, add this to your config.php:
$config['site']['sanctions']['banned_instances'] = 'site1.com,site2.com,etc.com';
Change as desired.
Report any problems to the issue tracker as always, so it doesn't get lost and we get any problems fixed. I'm going to get some sleep, or try to, and then work on outgoing hubouts. #postActiv -
