vent email spam 

To be clear, I love it when people email me to talk about stuff or to propose collaboration. I just find it incredibly disrespectful when it's obviously automated spam.

Like, if you can't dignify me with treating me as a person and instead treat me like an opaque resource, I'm just going to block your domain and be extra certain to avoid your project.

vent email spam 

honestly fuck whoever added my email to this marketing list. I keep getting random assholes trying to sell me shit and offer their "services".

they don't even have the decency to have an unsubscribe link in their messages usually

Btw, I care a lot about safety, Pixelfed is the first AP project that allows users to disable comments, DMs from people you don't follow are hidden by default, and we support shared blocklists and several other features!

I've closed registration on pixelfed.social several times, randomized the pixelfed.org/servers directory and mobile app onboarding.

I'm hellbent on ethical and sustainable growth.

You can come to your own conclusions, my actions speak for themselves.

@chartgerink maybe they can peg it to the cost of the local street food :P

I wonder how many people will try to subvert it and how much personal information such a scheme would require to work.

Still coofing but I woke up without a fever. Gonna finally start some self and living space maintenance to get back in the swing of things.

Great story about our efforts to bring secure curves to the WebCrypto API across all browsers with @igalia.

Also a story of how challenging it is to make progress on the web even when all browser engines have "we're positive on this" signals *and* you're willing to do most of the work.

I'm resurrecting my old FediDB developer tools to do some testing in Pixelfed, will be open sourcing the redesigned testing service soon!

This will make ActivityPub development much easier, and being able to test against other implementations without having to setup test instances is a game changer.

Last time I was this sick I didn't have nose piercings so it's been a fun struggle trying to manuver blowing my nose with these :P

Since my whole day kinda flew by, I'm winding down for bed with some acis techno.

Day four of being sick. I'm going joker mode from being in bed and unproductive for so long

@ohmrun@mastodon.social Is this approach viable in golang by any chance? 😅

@quinn@octodon.social this still requires knowing the fields at compile time right?

@quinn@octodon.social Interesting, I actuslly haven't done any haslell stuff. In this case I'm using golang and it's giving me flashbacks to using Java back in the day :P

Statically typed languages are such hell when you're using dynamically defined structures. I immediately miss Javascript's JSON.parse and how easy it is to dynamically search data.

if instead of thinking of peers as isolated or interchangeable, they are expected to have some social embedding, what can we do, in addition to web of trust identity verification, stuff like pinning/mirroring some subset of my peer's graphs amongst a group of friends, collaborators, institutions, etc. being able to make use of our extended network for bootstrapping/caching queries/petnames. in this case specifically thinking smth between SSB pubs and IPFS HTTP gateway

flashbulb popped in my mind and I think I have a synthesis of the BitTorrent bencoded info dict, IPLD Merkle dag, and rdf triplets. need to prototype #P2PLD

@suricrasia it's hard too because people's perception of reality is so fragmented these days.

Shout out to past me for stocking canned soup so I can eat food without having to cook. It's a real MVP for this one 🥰
