For reals ? December 3, 2025

Lmao you know what microsoft is a bunch of dumbass morons. It's fucking february and they just jumped out of the bushes without asking and installed their broken shit. I guess this is vibe updating. I don't think i need an MS pc again. This one is a bit old and i keep it around just in case i need to run a shit infested computer for some reason.

2025 definitely got off to a bad start with Windows Updates. There were at least 2 patches to the January update, maybe 3.

I was able to read 7 paragraphs. The sad thing is that you can't tell satire from reality anymore.

But I'm pretty sure this is satire. I think. Probably.

Anyone using forte? I was trying to federate with a forte instance and got 500 errors, they were coming from symfony.

forte uses Cavage and RFC 9421 HTTP Signatures, both keys stored in channel table. it's using the ed25519 pubkey for the DID but it's signing with rsa key - probably because people aren't using ed25519 for signing yet?

I'm not sure what symfony is used for in forte? anyway i added a simple route to return the pubkey so i could verify the federated connection, but i don't think it's supposed to be handled in symfony. (there are some other symfony things in the log too that might need worked on)

so i added two simple routes

config/routes/apgateway.yaml

apgateway_actor:
    path: /.well-known/apgateway/{did}/actor
    controller: App\Controller\ApGatewayController::actor
    methods: [GET]
    requirements:
        did: ".+"

config/routes/api_jsonld_context.yaml

api_jsonld_context:
    path: /contexts/activitystreams
    controller: App\Controller\JsonLdContextController::context
    methods: [GET]

and then a simple controller to grab the pubkey out of channels table.

src/Controller/ApGatewayController.php

namespace App\Controller;

use Doctrine\DBAL\Connection;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;

final class ApGatewayController
{
    private Connection $db;

    public function __construct(Connection $db)
    {
        $this->db = $db;
    }

    public function actor(Request $request): JsonResponse
    {
        $uri = $request->getRequestUri();

        if (!preg_match('~did:key:([^/]+)~', $uri, $m)) {
            throw new NotFoundHttpException('Invalid DID');
        }

        $epubkey = $m[1];

        $row = $this->db->fetchAssociative(
            'SELECT channel_pubkey FROM channel WHERE channel_epubkey = :epubkey LIMIT 1',
            ['epubkey' => $epubkey]
        );

        if (!$row || empty($row['channel_pubkey'])) {
            throw new NotFoundHttpException('Key not found');
        }

        $publicKeyPem = trim($row['channel_pubkey']);

        return new JsonResponse([
            '@context' => [
                'https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams',
                'https://w3id.org/security/v1'
            ],
            'id' => $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . $uri,
            'type' => 'Service',
            'preferredUsername' => 'gateway',
            'inbox' => null,
            'publicKey' => [
                'id' => $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . $uri . '#rsakey',
                'owner' => $request->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . $uri,
                'publicKeyPem' => $publicKeyPem
            ]
        ], 200, [
            'Content-Type' => 'application/activity+json'
        ]);
    }
}

src/Controller/JsonLdContextController.php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;

final class JsonLdContextController
{
    public function context(): JsonResponse
    {
        return new JsonResponse([
            '@context' => [
                'id' => '@id',
                'type' => '@type'
            ]
        ]);
    }
}

so now instead of 500 error i get the pubkey

so - what am i missing? there;s a FEDERATION.md that says it federates. it didn't appear that symfony is configured - no db info (was trying to connect to postgresql when i'm using mysql - but that's a default symfony thing)

but one thing is: it was causing 500 errors, i added the code stuff, and then it returned the json as scripted. HOWEVER now it is returning a much larger json array, not created by symfony any more obviously :) not sure why it decided to change it's mind and work?

i have a hunch the very first request when you do a connection request is off - get hitting synfony instead Mike's software - but then something changes and were bypassing the symfony as myabe it should have done in the first place..

any ideas?
i could submit a issue or pr on git but i just have a big mess to sort through first lol.

Mike asks me to pass along the following information:

please tell Waitman to remove or rename the ".env" file on his forte website so it won't try to use symfony. That's another integration which never happened for various reasons. If there's a file named ".env" it runs symfony and it's broken. If there isn't, it doesn't and it isn't.

The public key he is looking for is literally contained in the URL he is fetching to obtain the public key. In "did:key:zMk......" everything after zMk is a base58-encoded ED25519 multikey (aka public key). It needs conversion to be useful. The requisite conversion functions are available in the forte code somewhere, but you can't federate with ED25519 HTTP-signatures. The fediverse uses RSA keys for HTTP-Signatures. Period. You can use ED25519 and multikeys for object proofs. And object proofs take precedence over HTTP-Signatures. So we actually don't need HTTP-Signatures to use ED25519 keys and there's zero value in providing it to fediverse applications.

While there are some instances of similarities between the two works, the use of common scale and chord progressions are quite different, Taurus is to me lighter than Stairway to Heaven. Another song with similarities in progressions came to mind, Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle. If we went looking, I am confident we would find more artists from that time in a similar musical landscape.

I mentioned in another thread I am digging into scales and modes on my guitar, and it is ingredible how many famous songs have fallen out of my guitar by playing a standard scale or mode of a scale, no change and invention needed at all.

One mode is Locrian, an unstable scale, which is at least partially used by Berlin in Take My Breath Away and by Björk in Army of Me.
