We talk about #HolosSocial forgetting some of you might not know this project.
#Holos is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced #E2EE DMs and #ActivityPub identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

Motorhome vs Owning vs Renting: Costs and Lifestyle -

Motorhome vs Owning vs Renting: Costs and Lifestyle

This is a long video but I wanted to compare in detail how is living in a motorhome comparing with renting or owning a place. From costs to lifestyle: comfort, resources, toilet, space, etc.. The focus is on Spain since this is where I lived for the past many years.

I hope this video is useful for some.

This is extremely disappointing. This project had a lot more respect for the users of the Fediverse than anything I had seen before while trying to tackle a genuine problem.

The truly disappointing part is similar things with less respect happen all the time and no one gets angry because they aren't being transparent.

We heard you. #HolosDiscover has been shut down, all indexed data deleted, and the source code removed. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our approach was built with the deepest respect for user consent, but we understand it could rightfully be seen as misusing the indexable flag that many users didn't consciously enable. This highlighted a real conversation the Fediverse needs about default settings. Thank you for the feedback.

This article on AI slop is, ironically and clearly, AI-generated. thestatesman.com/entertainment…

I found it because it quotes me from another publication without so much as hyperlinking the original. Articles on Medium, LinkedIn posts, news and features, everything is AI-generated now. I have stopped visiting these sites.

Some of you noticed that @HolosDiscover is following you. It's a Fediverse search engine we built to solve a problem: when you start your own server with #Holos, your index is empty. #HolosDiscover provides a ready-to-use content catalog for everyone.
Only public posts from consenting users are indexed. Deletions and edits are reflected in real-time through ActivityPub activities.

Holos is a very nice project, congratulations. Note that wrt Holos-Discover, the "How it works" does not explain the search mechanism, and the repo link gives a 404.

Regarding Holos-App the docs mention that it implements a "full ActivityPub server", but it is unclear whether you mean "a full server" (S2S) or the "ActivityPub conformant Federated Server" specification profile, which in a quick peek is not what Holos-App is.. looks like?

We shut down the service. See toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1160514…

Folks, @rania40, like @joynewacc and @aseelfromgz are volunteering with Gaza Verified even as they face the same inhumane conditions forced upon Palestinians by Israel.

If you can, please help as a tiny way of saying thank you 💕

We lack basic necessities like food, water, medicine, and shelter.

During any #press event, I prefer to stay awake all day on-site, away from my family, to document the moment. Here’s glimpse of the vids I captured at night at Nasser Hospital, documenting the return of patients who completed their medical treatment abroad & returned to #gaza via the Rafah crossing
At this location,returnees reunite with their families. For some, however, the moment of arrival is met with heartbreak as they receive news for the first time of the martyrdom of their loved ones

We put a lot of work into both #Fedilab and #HolosSocial. We will never neglect one for the other, both deserve attention. Holos allowed us to push boundaries like E2EE DMs over ActivityPub and portable identity, but Fedilab is the app we've been working on since 2017 and will keep integrating new features. This is your app, not ours. Alongside all this, we are volunteers, so if you can help us financially, that would really help. Thank you.

#Holos is designed around one device per account since each phone runs its own ActivityPub server. Currently, activities are removed from the relay once synced, so multi-device isn't possible yet. However, we could introduce trusted devices linked to an account, where activities are only removed once synced with all of them. This would also need some work on our E2EE DMs feature.

As the main developer of Fedilab, I've never used Open Collective funds for personal needs like buying a phone or paying repairs (yes, plugging/unplugging daily has consequences). I feel uncomfortable about how to use those funds. In April I'll need to pay for server hosting. I also need a more powerful computer. Are those kinds of expenses ok for you? Like repairing my phone due to a worn-out USB connector?

The #Holos account @tom79@holos.social has been migrated to @tom79@holos.fedilab.app using the new Custom Domains feature.

Use your own domain for your ActivityPub identity. No instance to host, pure ActivityPub from your phone. Your identity is no longer tied to the relay. Switch anytime.

Add your domain, configure a CNAME record, verify and activate. Followers are notified via a Move activity.

More: holos.social/custom-domains

Fully available in the next RC release.

Android is the primary platform for now, but an iOS version is planned. Distribution will likely go through AltStore, as mainstream app stores may flag apps with embedded servers.

Regarding multi-device access, Holos follows a "one device, one instance" philosophy. Your phone is your server, with your keys and data living locally. This is what gives you true ownership. Multi-device sync isn't currently supported but is being considered for the future.

in reply to 「 Jürgen 」⁂

@juergen
It's currently designed as one device per account since your phone is the server. But this can be improved by allowing the relay to dispatch activities to multiple devices per account instead of removing them once consumed. Right now the relay immediately deletes an activity once it's been synced (via WebSocket or during app launch), but reworking this to support multiple devices is definitely possible.

@juergen
We will introduce that option, a lot of people are asking for multi-device support. That would need some work on our latest feature (E2EE DMs).
