@cblgh If you're interested in making one I'd be down to help out. In particular I think the DHT mutable PUT/GET API would be great to expose to web peers.

@cblgh Sadly not for the DHT. There's been stuff brought up on and off for years but nobody actually took the step to get it working.

However there are "hybrid" clients that talk to both the WebRTC trackers and the DHT so they can act as bridges if they have data loaded.

@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah, I've got a two drive one so far. Might as well splurge a bit and get the big boi. 🤔 Honestly even a couple hundred TB would probably get me far enough.

Shit, gotta start hoarding data in preparation of the web collapsing. Anyone got recommendations for a box I can just put in my home to reliably store a petabyte or two of data? 🤪

Snake feeding 

@queenslight Ha ha, you should have seen the first few weeks I had her before I got the gloves. 🤪 Sadly this snake is elderly and wasn't socialized well for being held so she had a habit of trying to take my finger off. But it's really no big deal at all, they're small babies with little teeth that barely pierce the skin. 💜

Snake feeding 

Lol! Just got my corn out for feeding and it decided it didn't want to wait for its rat and chomped onto my gloved finger 🤣

She tried wrapping around my whole forearm whuch is pretty ambitious for her size. Had to do some gentle wrastling to untangle myself.

@trevorflowers Yeah I think ultimately of I can give people a bit more power over their computers it'd be enough. i'll try workshopping some ideas with the librarians.

Hello #CoSocialCa!

A June 2023 update on the blog cosocial.info/cosocial-ca-upda

* We’re currently at 62 paid co-op members
* We've got a great group of volunteers, could use some more across trust & safety, comms, & membership
* Follow #CoSocialHour
* Co-op Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be this fall; members will vote for a board and discuss major issues

Sometimes I forget I'm an open source weirdo, then I think about using a thing and am like "Hmmm, but it's not open source..." and then it clicks and I have a chuckle.

@trevorflowers I suppose. But it still feels off for me because it still depends on servers and hosting and an always-on internet connection. I suppose it's better than nothing.

LOL! The only thing more jarring than forgetting how loud my volume is when I start listening to a track is accidentally quitting my browser in the middle of a loud track to be thrown into silence.

Yikes, seems like is having trouble reaching the Mainline today or something. :/

Not ideal when trying to run tests! Might be a good reason to set up some more bootstrap nodes.

sanism, trans genocide 

it really would have been better if more people questioned the entire concept of mental illness and the idea of it being grounds for removing someone's bodily autonomy, it's extremely fucked up and allows and directly causes so much horrific abuse, and the only people who say anything about it are psychiatric survivors and no one even listens to them
and now in Russia they are actively banning transition and the state is openly attempting to make sure all trans people are treated as mentally ill and "cured" in what must be horrific ways
and i wonder if this will eventually happen in the U.S.
but if your response is "this is bad because trans people aren't actually mentally ill" then fuck off, those "crazy schizos" you find so annoying don't deserve to be tortured either, and it should have been obvious that if society accepts human rights violations for any group (mentally ill, terrorists, etc.) then the next step is that label being used on anyone the establishment wants to get rid of, and if you reached adulthood without thinking of this then you don't think enough
if everyone collectively agreed to stand up for those who are most despised, like unhoused folks and people with highly stigmatized neurodivergences, we might not have to worry about being the next genocide target
but if you think some genocide is acceptable as long as it has an imposed limit that stops it from affecting you then seriously fuck off

@0149170fe78b061ce6c7295fff2daa303f710ba17efd8fafd8343292b4295e84@mostr.pub Yeah, I might need to buy a chromebook to understand what it's even like for them.

@queenslight Yeah, I'm thinking about changing the approach. Sadly Agregore stuff only really works where you own hardware.

I'm thinking teaching how to hack sites with chrome devtools might be more useful overall.

@queenslight Oh yeah! I wonder if classes on programming exist for blind folks already. Most of my presentations are audio heavy and I try to post markdown docs alongside the slides, but defs the code part would take finesse to describe.

I feel like a bunch of text for tutorials and an audio call where folks can ask questions might work?
