My hypothesis on why Lemmy is rejecting valid activities
I have not been able to successfully post to a Lemmy instance either as a post or a comment. A cryptic error message is returned where the error is unknown and the message is a generic message:
{"error":"unknown","message":"data did not match any variant of untagged enum AnnouncableActivities"}From my logs, it seems this is happening:
- I make a valid ActivityPub request with the audience of a community (or cc a user).
- Lemmy makes an ActivityPub request back at me at
/. - My web site does not handle ActivityPub at
/, and responds with atext/plainerror message. This is default behavior in Drupal. - Lemmy rejects my request with a 400 response with the error message above.
I tested other instances by making the following get request to the root of each instance (thank you, Daniel Sternberg for maintaining curl):
curl -v -H "Accept: application/activity+json" -H "Content-Type: application/activity+json" <url>- With the following results
- Lemmy returns an Application Actor.
- Misskey returns a 200 response in
text/html. - Mastodon returns a 406 response in
application/json. - NodeBB returns
text/html. - GoToSocial returns a 406 response in
application/json. - Mitra returns a 200 response in
text/html. - Pixelfed returns a 200 response in
text/html. - Peertube returns an empty 406 response.
My hypothesis is that Lemmy is rejecting the request because I return [strong]text/plain[/strong] and/or it cannot handle a response with that content type.
To test that I am working on changing the default behavior. I will need to dynamically add a route based on system.site.page.front and return a 406 response in JSON. This is simple enough. If my hypothesis is correct, I can also make a merge request into drupal/activitypub module, which would have the same problem. If not, then I’ll need to go digging further.

If I do need to Announce
If I do need to wrap it an Announce, then I think I will need to do the following based on how it works on my end.
- Create my post as normal, but don’t address it to the community initially.
- Announce my own post making sure I address it to the community.
I guess that might show up as me boosting my own post on some instances (tooting my own horn? Horning my own toot?), which I would feel ashamed of.

The EPA Let Companies Estimate Their Own Pollution Levels. We Discovered Real Emissions Are Far Worse.
And for decades, the Environmental Protection Agency tracked those emissions not by monitoring the air but by relying on a kind of honor system. Companies were allowed to estimate their chemical pollution using methods that even the EPA conceded were often unreliable.
In 2023, the EPA received irrefutable proof that these estimates were highly flawed. The agency had required 20 industrial facilities to temporarily install air monitors around their perimeters — known as fence-line monitoring — to see how bad the pollution actually was.
The results, compiled now for the first time by ProPublica, were shocking.

Andrew Cuomo Uses AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill to Attack Mamdani, Is Out of Ideas
I am haunted by a pregnant bill in Andrew Cuomo’s new AI-generated attack ad against Zohran Mamdani.Cuomo posted the ad on his X account that riffed on the famous Schoolhouse Rock! song “I’m just a bill.” In Cuomo’s AI-generated cartoon nightmare, Zohran Mamdani lights money on fire while a phone bearing the ChatGPT logo explains, apparently, that Mamdani is not qualified.
The ad bears all the hallmarks of the sloppiest of AI trash: weird artifacting, strange voices that don’t sync with the mouths talking, and inconsistent animation. It feels both surreal and of the moment and completely ancient.

Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats
Google announced the end of support for early Nest Thermostats in a support document earlier this year that largely flew under the radar. As of October 25, first and second generation units released in 2011 and 2012, respectively, will be unpaired and removed from the Google Nest or Google Home app.
Users will no longer be able to control their thermostats remotely via their smartphone, receive notifications, or change settings from a mobile device. End-of-support also disables third-party assistants and other cloud-based features including multi-device Eco mode and Nest Protect connectivity.

The biggest mistake I made in my home was installing $3k in Nest gear, right before they were purchased by Google and the forthcoming Homekit support was abandoned. I cannot wait to get my Ubiquiti camera drops wired so I can stop paying the whopping $20/mo for cloud storage that was $8/mo when I started.
Tl;dr: Fuck Google
It’s me. I have no fucking idea and the time to research it makes me quit before I start.
Couple that with the fact that asking questions from ignorance will most likely get two responses, both of which suck.
First, I’d probably get an info dump of terminology I don’t recognize and have to research each one before understanding what’s being said. That would take me back to my original stance of quitting before I started.
Secondly, I’d encounter loads of derisive assholes that scoff at my lack of knowledge.

Someone should publish a guide or something similar.
Unfortunately, with smart home stuff, you need to choose between ease of use and control. Google provides ease of use because their stuff all works together out of the box, but there's also a whole ecosystem of stuff that works together that takes a bit more effort to connect.
The barrier to actually controlling your smart home isn't super high, but there are some things you need to learn about to pick devices. Another user mentioned a few things to research, but I'll point you another direction that's a bit like throwing you in the deep end.
HomeAssistant is a self-hostable hub for various smart things. Basically, you'll install it on your computer and figure out which of your current devices work with it. Your setup will only be available at home until you get a way to access it from outside your home, but don't worry about that to start, there are services you can use to simplify that later (or ask on !selfhosted@lemmy.world). Once it's setup, you need to decide what things you can't connect that you'd like to replace and look at your options (most likely you'll pick ZigBee or ZWave devices, maybe Matter). HomeAssistant's website has a bunch of documentation about various devices, like which will work, so you can use that to help shop too.
If you can manage that, you'll get a lot more control over your smart home and eliminate whatever monthly fee you pay. Some devices won't be available, but the ones you pick will continue to work as long as the hardware isn't broken (even if the manufacturer discontinues support).
I'd like to add that accessing your things from outside the home is relatively simple if you have a static IP and you setup a VPN to your home with Wireguard.
Some advanced routers even have native support for Wireguard, like the Freebox in France or the Iliadbox in Italy.
Local VibeCoding (for hobby! 😀
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to setup a local "vibe coding" environment and use it on some projects I abandoned years ago.
So far I'm using KoboldCPP to run the models, VSStudio as editor with various extensions and models with limited to no luck.
Models are working properly (tested with KoboldCPP web UI and curl) but in VSCode they do not generate files. edit existing files etc. (it seems that the tool calling part is not working) and they usually go in a loop
I tried the following extensions:
- RooCode
- Cline
Models: (mostly from Unsloth)
- Deepseek-coder:6.7
- Phi4
- Qwen3-Coder 30
- Granite4 Small
Does anyone have any idea why it's not working or have a working setup that can share? (I'm open to change any of the tools/models)
I have 16GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM as a reference
Many thanks in advance for your help!

I don't have direct experience with RooCode and Cline, but I would be mighty surprised if they work with lesser models of even the old Qwen2-Coder 32B - and even that was mostly misses. I never tried the Qwen3 coder but I assume it is not drastically different.
Those small models are at most useful for some kind of smarter autocomplete, not to run a full tools framework.
BTW you could check out Aider too for a different approach, and they have a lot of benchmarks that can help you get an idea about what's needed.

Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews protest Israeli military service
Jerusalem (AFP) – Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men, dressed in black, rallied in Jerusalem on Thursday to protest against military conscription, an issue that has caused major strain in Israel's right-wing ruling coalition.The vast crowd were protesting against the absence of a law guaranteeing their right to avoid Israel's mandatory military service -- a pledge long promised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Crowds of men, many wearing black hats, set fire to pieces of tarpaulin as hundreds of police officers cordoned off several roads across the city, AFP correspondents reported.
Carrying placards denouncing conscription, demonstrators marched along main roads leading into Jerusalem.
The mass demonstration follows a recent crackdown on ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers, with thousands of call-up notices sent in recent months and several deserters imprisoned.
Under a ruling established at the time of Israel's creation in 1948, when the ultra-Orthodox were a very small community, men who devote themselves full-time to the study of sacred Jewish texts are given a de facto pass.
This exemption has come under mounting pressure since war erupted in Gaza in October 2023, as the military struggles to fill its ranks.
Whether the exemption should be scrapped has been a long-running point of contention in Israeli society, with Netanyahu pledging that his government would pass a law enshrining the waiver.
But he has so far failed to deliver.
Responding to the call of two ultra-Orthodox parties -- one of which forms a key part of the ruling coalition -- men travelled from all over Israel on Thursday to demand the continuation of their exemptions.
The police closed roads to Jerusalem and announced the mobilisation of 2,000 officers in the city.
In June 2024, the supreme court ruled that the state must draft ultra-Orthodox men, declaring their exemption had expired.
A parliamentary committee is now discussing a bill expected to end the exemptions and encourage young ultra-Orthodox men who are not studying full-time to enlist.The issue has placed Netanyahu's coalition -- one of the most right-wing in the country's history -- under severe strain.
In July, ministers from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party resigned from the cabinet over the issue, though the party has not formally left the coalition.
The other ultra-Orthodox party, United Torah Judaism, has already quit both the government and the coalition.
The Sephardic Shas, which holds 11 seats in the 120-member Knesset, has warned that it will withdraw support unless military service exemptions are anchored in law —-- move that could topple Netanyahu's fragile coalition, now down to 60 seats.
Some ultra-Orthodox rabbis fear that conscription will make young people less religious, but others accept that those who do not study holy texts full-time can enlist.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews make up 14 percent of Israel's Jewish population, or about 1.3 million people, and roughly 66,000 men of military age currently benefit from the exemption.
According to an army report presented to parliament in September, there has been a sharp increase in the number of ultra-Orthodox Jews enlisting despite opposition from their leaders, but the numbers still remain low, at a few hundred over the past two years.

Internal Report Shows the Military Always Wanted to Join the Drug War
A decade before President Donald Trump boasted of “hunting” alleged “narcoterrorists” on boats off the coast of Venezuela, the Defense Department was looking for new ways to get involved in the war on drugs.In a major report quietly issued by the federally funded Institute for Defense Analyses, researchers working for the Pentagon presented their findings, based on interviews with dozens of top drug traffickers incarcerated in the United States, on how to better disrupt transnational organized crime.
One top-line prescription: More “direct military action.”
The report, which was obtained by The Intercept through a Freedom of Information Act request and has never previously been made public, provides a window into the inner workings of major drug-trafficking networks.
An attorney whose client was interviewed by researchers working for the Pentagon told The Intercept that the report proves that the recent sidelining of counternarcotics police in favor of bloodshed at sea is what military insiders have wanted for years.

I've become minorly obsessed with conditioning wood
I had a cutting board made from some nice wood, but which was starting to lose its bright appearance.
A bit of research later, and I get some food-safe mineral oil and wax to restore the surface. Long story short, I was so impressed by how my cutting board came back to life, now I'm looking for any excuse to touch up all the wood in our house. I don't even mind if I clean the cutting board and wash off some of the wax, because then I have an excuse to apply another layer. There's something fun about buffing and polishing a surface.
I'm thinking of getting into woodworking just so I can do this more. I don't even really want to make anything, just apply a bunch of tung oil to a random plank and then wax it to a shine.
