Just started watching "The Shivering Truth" and PFFR delivers as always. 💜 It's like a waking nightmare.

I know there's some software out there for mirroring twitter feeds, but is there anyone out there setting that up as a service? I don't have time to mess around with setting stuff up but I'd really like more of my twitter feed mirrored to my mastodon feed.

A thread: Job openings in programming and ops in open source software/research, developing frameworks for distributed applications, working with @cwebber at the Spritely Institute: octodon.social/@cwebber/109202

I think the universe is telling me to do something with lisp 🥲

One of my nose piercings fell out some time in the last 14 hours and I have no clue where it could be. 🙃

@am@decept.org It's okay if you don't mind waiting months for stuff to ship. I got some cheap electronics on there like my USB monitor

toot.cafe/@andrew_chou/1090884 This turned out great. A small browser chatroom in 80 lines, all web APIs (no frameworks). Thanks @andrew_chou!

A lot of people scoff at building 'serious' apps without a framework, but what if it's just that the apps we're building are too big?

Stitch together small, completely disparate applets like into an ecosystem of interoperable tools feels like an approach that's never been fully realised.

@am@decept.org the modern version is ali express addictions imo 🤪

@m455 I think there's stuff thay can be done about decentralizing the bootstrapping somewhat. 🤔 E.g saving "stable" ips that get discovered for later bootstrapping, getting dht peers from other devices on your local network, easy to scan qr codes to connect two devices together for dht stuff. Good food for thought, ty

@m455 Fair point about bootstrap nodesc Even though you can technically use any DHT peer too build up your routing table. Most apps have a few hardcoded which can be targets of censorship.

Past that the key/value storage is spread out among all peers participating and values are stored on several peers for redundancy which is as decentralized as you cam get IMO. 😅

@m455 Would you mind elaborating on how DHTs are centralized?

@reconbot The number of times I've had bugs stemming from this fact is honestly emberassing. 😅😅😅

That moment when you realize Fedi could be implemented with RSS feeds and actually nothing truly innovative has happened online since 1999

MapKnitter.org will be going offline at the end of the month due to lack of funds, which is very sad!
1000s of maps of environmental injustices people have made over the years

And also SpectralWorkbench.org too.
database of 200k+ community-contributed open source spectra.

Both will be archived on archive.org

It's really fucking hard and violent blow for environmental activism and community based open environmental investigation

I really like this way of looking at consensus & the idea of group limits:

"This thinking however, is still built around voting, which is a form of competitive decision-making that is not designed to respect people’s autonomy. Consensus, instead of being a way to convince everyone to agree to the same plan, is a way of exploring what the logical limits of any given group are. If all members of a group cannot agree on a specific action, then it clearly needs to take place outside of that group, if at all."

How do I know if my mastodon instance is actually federating with stuff? 😅 I keep seeing empty profiles and I think my instance went down for like a month or two due to disk utilization issues.

Honestly, thinking of making a Matrix client that uses shitty plain javascript web components and supports multi-windows + uses shared workers to share a single client instance between pages.

First-ever Gitea pull request from a remote instance!!! 🎉🥳

git.exozy.me/Ta180m/Hello-worl

I've been waiting for this moment for months now!

The code hasn't been pushed to gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea yet since it's incredibly messy, but I'll clean it up tomorrow and also submit a draft pull request to upstream Gitea.

(Technical implementation information: gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/issues/)
