How to Set Up ActivityPub for Self-Hosted WordPress Sites • Jonathan Eggers

With decentralized content and federated services growing in popularity, many existing web technologies are adopting the ActivityPub open standard. Services like Meta’s Threads, Tumblr, Medium, Flipboard, Mozilla, and WordPress.com have all added or announced support of ActivityPub, allowing for their content to be accessible via the fediverse. For those who self-host their website, or manage WordPress websites, ActivityPub integration has been available since 2019, thanks to the ActivityPub plugin, created by Matthias Pfefferle, and now managed by Automattic, the maker of WordPress. This guide is for webmasters and hobbyists to install and configure ActivityPub for self-hosted WordPress websites, allowing their website content to be followed, tagged, and commented on via services like Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Threads.

  • I guess dog whistles are a thing of the past? People can just go around saying whatever they want and not have to worry about being shamed for being openly racist. Like internet comment sections have spilled out into real life.

  • Why We’re Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras
  • In order to view video from the camera, it had to be a Wyze cam v1 (last sold in 2018), the "hacker" would need to know the randomly generated ID of the camera, which they could get if they were connected to the same WiFi as the camera - or try to guess it. With the ID, a "hacker" could access the SD card remotely and download video files. It also allowed them to turn the camera on and off and, on pan-tilt models, move the camera.

    Wyze took too long to disclose this (they found out about it in 2019 and didn't disclose it for 18 months). Nobody knows if this flaw was ever taken advantage of. They tried to patch the hardware but weren't able to do so. Wyze said they issued a patch within 1 month of learning about the flaw, but I haven't determined exactly what was patched. They also noted in Feb of 2022 they couldn't patch the hardware fully, and retiring the v1 cameras was the only option to resolve the issue.
