• Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer: Qt 6 in Debian bullseye, take 2

  Bookworm has been released and Bullseye is now old-stable. Non the less today I took the time to update the Qt 6 backports so they are as close as Bookworm as possible. Except security fixes are needed these ought to be the latest uploads of Qt 6 to bullseye-backports.

• GSoC-23 Week 1-2 | Adding Account Moderation Tool #3

  Hello world,

  This is my third blog post for Google Summer of Code 2023 where I will be sharing what I was able to accomplish in the first two weeks.

  The first task I worked on was implementing the account moderation tool. This tool enables moderators/admins of an instance to view all the accounts available on the server and take action against them.

  Before starting with its implementation, I requested Carl to schedule a meeting so that I could gain a better understanding of the implementation process. He advised me to study the already implemented SocialGraph page, along with other helpful insights.

  Initially, when attempting to receive raw JSON data from the /api/v1/admin/accounts endpoint, I encountered a 403 error response. Upon spending some time debugging my code I couldn’t determine what I was doing wrong and so I finally resorted to asking for help in the Tokodon matrix chat, where redstrate❣️ helped me identify that we didn’t have the necessary scope set in Tokodon to access admin endpoints.
