"The 'middle-class' is a faux class. It never really existed. If you have a boss, and earn wages or salary, you are a worker, and should be proud to be in the working class. The term 'middle class' isolates more privileged workers for the benefit of the powerful so that anyone outside of elite circles will be divided and fighting against each other instead of fighting institutions and the power structure."
—David Graeber

Today we are releasing a significant advancement in our platform: the Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities.

As much as we cherish ActivityPub's federated model for it's flexibility in referencing data between different instances, we noticed that it requires instances to be always online, excluding non-internet or locally published identities outside of the HTTPS/DNS based web. That's why we developed the Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities: linking to P2P versions of documents from HTTPS versions ("alias URLs"), that enable interoperability with existing AP implementations while opening the way to P2P-only networks.

With this feature, you can gradually shift to decentralized publishing while staying compatible with current systems. This means you can publish and share content even if some parts of the web are down, enhancing the resilience and accessibility of your content. By adopting these new publishing flows, you're not just future-proofing your content but also contributing to a more decentralized, robust and user-controlled internet .

Check it out and let us know what you think and if you'd like to implement it yourselves! https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pul

🙍🏾 I was just skimming and landed on this line. What does this feature do?

TL:DR - Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities fosters the use of the peer-to-peer published versions of people's sites, instead of needing to depend on HTTP for everything.

🔎 This is cool. What else does Distributed Press do? I'm curious

Glad you asked! Distributed Press builds tools that facilitate [DWeb](https://getdweb.net/) hosting over multiple p2p protocols for fast p2p sites with social interactions, focused on audiences that need protection against censorship and/or prioritize data sovereignty.

Our sites can be federate, meaning they can connect and communicate with each other through the fediverse. This allows them to receive interactions from any fediverse user while operating independently as their own instance, giving authors complete control over moderation.

Get your content distributed, be protected against censorship, own your data, and integrate with the Fediverse. Start with Sutty’s no-code platform, or DIY over your current publishing flow.

* Sutty’s no code platform: Create a static website on Sutty and use the Social Inbox panel on their platform admin panel: https://sutty.nl/en/

* Do it yourself: Check out our documentation to see how you can set up the Social Inbox on your existing (or future) static website:

OK so:

your polycule has a keyserver; the keyserver generates one of the major arcana ( a value from 0 to 21 ) every day.

every member of your polycule has one of the major arcana assigned to them randomly as a key ( a value from 0 to 21 )

when you meet over a channel that needs authentication, draw a random major arcana ( choose a random value from 0 to 21 ) and use that value to challenge the other person.

They will take that value, add the polycule daily value and your secret value, and then return the answer mod 21 encoded as a tarot card. You can then verify they know your card value, and they can auth you in the same way.

tech companies: we're firing everyone!!!!

society: <new large scale tech disaster every 4-6 weeks>

also tech companies, apparently: we can't fill any of these jobs??

people applying to tech jobs: i get about 1 interview per 4000 applications, the last one asked if i had ever programmed in 'windex' and hung up when i said that's a cleaning product
