There seems to be a new attempt to turn ActivityPub into some centralized monolithic thing with hard coded limited vocabularies. This is an attempt to have a new central power in social networking via the control of the vocabularies of the exchange protocols.

Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.

Found a real-world difference between Claude Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 today. As an experiment, I posed a question to it that I had gotten wrong a couple years ago. The question requires knowledge of TLS protocol details and thinking through their implications. Sonnet 4.5 caught the trap immediately (faster than I did back when I had the idea), Haiku 4.5 missed it, even when explicitly asked to think about the details of the TLS protocol.

I was fed up with Matrix and tried coming up with my own federated chat protocol. It got really complex really quickly.
In order to resist enshittification it needs to be decentralised. It can't be P2P because that would drain phone batteries. It must be federated. But that means that your admin could read your messages. So it must be federated and encrypted. And that's where it starts to get real tricky.

I fixed the typoed atu_unr_limit and now the ATU is working, translating accesses to the 0x1000_0000 AXI space to configuration reads and writes in the PCIe bus.
But the data is always zero. I'm trying to write 0x41410000 to the BAR and it comes out as zeroes, and while the protocol analyzer shows me successfully reading 1327:1c5c which is the VID/PID of my test SSD, it comes out as zero on the AXI side.
