@guizzy @lain I'm really pretty tired of this "Pleroma/GNU Social/SomethingElse is Nazi software/space" bullshit.

I had a StatusNet account until Evan killed identi.ca years ago; a shit-ton of great people I talk with here every day have accounts on Pleroma or GNU Social. Some are their developers.

#Mastodon benefited handsomely from there being a large community of dedicated people in Fediverse before Mastodon was a thing. Let's acknowledge that and stop being so condescending.

#Introduction time! I'm a hacktivist, free software advocate, strong supporter of free and open internet. Used to be a policy hacker. Co-founded the Warsaw Hackerspace.

Currently trying to make sure journalists at @OCCRP have the tools and training to safely expose corruption and organized crime.

Also, I bake bread, sail, and dance Lindy Hop. So, there's that.

Do I have a ticket where I am tracking this, you ask?

Why yes, yes I do:
https://git.occrp.org/libre/samizdat/issues/16

TFW you need to refactor your code to use a completely new (to you) technique of dealing with some particular problem, using technology you don't really feel that comfortable with...

...and 2h later stuff actually works:
https://git.occrp.org/libre/samizdat/blob/58b5e20cb980233378385063b2a69d998672cc02/service-worker.js#L194

I am very okay with this.

Also, #Samizdat can now chain multiple delivery plugins. Which means I should now be able to implement caching using Caching API.

For those new to the #Samizdat thing:
1. if you want to test it, load it, and then reload it -- or even close the tab and open a new one to load it again; this way the ServiceWorker will kick in and stuff will start happening;
2. it will not work without JS (sorry...), and it will not work in incognito/private mode.

To those who had already looked at it: I would be super interested if your service worker kicked in! You might not get the full functionality until the service worker reloads.

#Samizdat is moving forward nicely. We now have some basic explanation on the landing page, a nicer display of methods used to fetch content, and (just implemented, hot from the CI/CD pipeline!) info on which resources were fetched using which method.

Check it out:

Pretty sweet, if I may be so bold to say so!

This is still Proof-of-Concept quality, and so many things can be done so much better. But it works already, in a way.

So, yay!

Am I over-engineering this?
I might be over-engineering this.

...I am almost certainly over-engineering this.

/me proceeds to continue over-engineering this.
