Lemmy: Impossible to build Lemmy from scratch as git.asonix.dog is down

[Nutomic]

Lemmy loads the activitystreams-new and activitystreams-ext dependencies directly from git.asonix.dog. As that server is currently down, its now impossible to build from scratch.

@asonix This seems to be the only way to reach you, as your Matrix, Mastodon and Email are all down. Could you mirror your libraries somewhere else for the time being, or send the source to us so we can take care of it?

[boehs]

oh no. this is worrying, as his last contribution was a month ago.

[asonix]

I still exist, my stuff is just down because moving hassle. It'll likely be down through the end of the week, so I'll email some code to you @Nutomic

Oh awesome! we are saved!

Better idea:

• https://yerbamate.dev/asonix/activitystreams-new
• https://yerbamate.dev/asonix/activitystreams-ext

[igalic]

how about releasing the stuff to creates.io?

[dessalines]

@asonix it looks like activitystreams-ext has this in its dependencies:

[dependencies]
activitystreams-new = { git = "https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/activitystreams-sketch", branch = "main" }

Could you update this to the yerba one and push to yerbamate?

activitystreams-new = { git = "https://yerbamate.dev/asonix/activitystreams-new", branch = "main" }

edit: sorry, its activitystreams-new is the correct one.

[asonix]

it is done

Okay downloading the deps works now, but it looks like you uploaded an older version. The method NoteType::Note.to_string() is not found (and same for other types).

[asonix]

gah, i fixed those on my laptop after I had packed my desktop up. I'll go ahead and get those changes pushed too once I dig my laptop up

[Nutomic]

That to_string() is the only thing missing, so you could also code it again from scratch if its easier (and you dont fear conflicts with the original repo).

Anyway, thanks for the fast help, and I hope the move is going well :)

[asonix]

it's pushed now

[Nutomic]

@asonix Any idea when your Gitea will be up again? I need to look up how you handled the activity types in the inbox of ap-relay.

https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy/pulls/72

[asonix]

@Nutomic it's up now, although pretty slow

• https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/ap-relay/src/branch/main/src/apub.rs
• https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/ap-relay/src/branch/main/src/routes/inbox.rs

[dessalines]

You could also push to both with a single git push too: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14290145/1655478 , I push all my changes to at least a few locations.

[Nutomic]

@asonix Thanks! It looks like you are basically converting back and forth between Activity and AnyBase a few times to handle the different types. Isnt that pretty bad for performance? Well I dont mind as long as it works.

[asonix]

@Nutomic converting to or from AnyBase should be slightly cheaper than converting to or from serde_json::Value, which is what BaseBox was in the previous version.
