Israel resumes lower-level killing after mass violence Sunday; Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visit Israel for ceasefire talks; embattled socialist party ousted in Bolivia


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/37829225

Israel kills several Palestinians in Gaza City after claiming to begin “the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire” following a wave of attacks on Sunday that killed dozens. Khalil al-Hayya leads Hamas delegation in Cairo. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visit Israel for ceasefire talks. Israeli warplanes carry out three airstrikes in southern Lebanon. On “60 Minutes,” Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff describe the U.S. process of negotiating the ceasefire; Kushner argues that purported “cultural differences” in Gaza and the West Bank constitute a meaningful obstacle to Palestinian statehood. Israeli settlers attack an elderly Palestinian woman harvesting olives in the West Bank village of Turmus’ayyer; the incident was captured on camera by Jasper Nathaniel, a journalist and Drop Site contributor, in a scene he describes as an ambush. The Trump administration announces that the two survivors of a military attack on a semi-submersible vessel are being repatriated to their home countries, while initiating yet another attack, this time on the Colombian guerrilla group, the E.L.N. The Washington Post reports on a quid pro quo between the U.S. State Department and the government of El Salvador, which exchanged MS-13 informants in American prisons for U.S. access to El Salvador’s mega-prisons, where they intend to send Venezuelan migrants. Houthi forces detain UN employees in Sana’a, Yemen, alleging that they engaged in espionage. President Donald Trump urges Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to cede territories in the East to Russia and to accept a ceasefire, saying that if he does not, Ukraine will “be destroyed.” Pakistan and Afghanistan agree to a ceasefire. Senator Rodrigo Paz Pereira wins Bolivia’s presidential election, ending nearly 20 years of rule by the Movement Toward Socialism party.

Flow control


I've been thinking lately about [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_%28data%29]flow control[/url]. That's a feature of some networks where a receiver can tell a sender to slow down its sending rate to match the receiver's processing rate. In

I've been thinking lately about flow control. That's a feature of some networks where a receiver can tell a sender to slow down its sending rate to match the receiver's processing rate.

In TCP flow control, the receiving host returns a receiving buffer size in its acknowledgement segment, so the sending host know how much data it can send without overflowing the buffer.

I wonder if there are ways that a receiving ActivityPub protocol server could tell the sending server to slow down? Maybe we could reuse some of the RateLimit headers.

Another option would be a special header that says how big your incoming activity queue is. "I have a very long processing queue right now, please keep stuff in your outgoing queue for a while."



Representing the cause of an activity


In Activity Streams 2.0, we can represent the result of an activity using the [code]result[/code] property. Here, when the actor accepts a [code]Follow[/code] activity, the result is that the follower is added to the actor's [code]followers[/code] collect

{
   "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
   "id": "https://social.example/accept/12931",
   "type": "Accept",
   "actor": "https://social.example/person/24405",
   "to": ["as:Public", "https://other.example/person/21356"],
   "object": {
      "id": "https://other.example/follow/30360",
      "type": "Follow",
      "to": ["as:Public", "https://social.example/person/24405"],
      "actor": "https://other.example/person/21356",
      "object": "https://social.example/person/24405"
   },
   "result": {
       "id": "https://social.example/add/11066",
       "type": "Add",
       "actor": "https://social.example/person/24405",
       "to": ["as:Public", "https://other.example/person/21356"],
       "object": "https://other.example/person/21356",
       "target": "https://social.example/person/24405/followers"
   }
}

My question is: how can the Add activity refer to the activity that caused it? I don't think we have a standard property for this. My best guess right now is context or maybe instrument, neither of which seems ideal. I think an extension inverse property, like resultOf, might be the best option.


Server-sent Events for the ActivityPub API


One of the user stories for the ActivityPub API task force is to enable real-time updates for clients.

github.com/swicg/activitypub-a…

To help with this, I added a draft specification for server-sent events:

swicg.github.io/activitypub-ap…

If you're interested, please review and provide comments on the GitHub issue. I'd like to start a reference implementation soon.
