It turns out half a tub of ice cream is not exactly a "dinner"
I should start bringing my own AV equipment for meetups just in case :P

Here are the slides for my talk at #ForwardJS #Ottawa where I introduced folks to the #dweb
Feel free to reach out if you'd like me to present to your community!

@jgkawell Is your code published somewhere I may read BTW?
@jgkawell I've been leaning to just doing bespoke multicast UDP stuff personally :o
Hot take, #P2P protocols shouldn't use MDNS for peer discovery if they don't plan to use the OS provided APIs for it. Only one process can reliably bind the UDP port necessary for it and it quickly leads to conflicts. At the very least you should use a custom port to avoid conflicting with the OS.

I'm thankful to the folks working on Arch Linux packages. Using pacman to set up my Android dev environment without needing to mess with Android Studio has been great.

Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.
Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!
You deserve a home on the web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

i had a bajillion technical issues but it mostly worked out. As usual people were more curious about my GPD Win 4 than whatever I had to say about local LLMs. 😅

Someone made a BBS that runs on Meshtastic.
Welp. Guess I know what I’m doing next.

I got myself a doctorate from the University of Library Genesis
Presenting the local LLM stuff in Agregore tomorrow at the #Ottawa branch of AI Tinkerers. Hopefully it all goes smoothly :)

Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

@oceane @lrvick oh, we are very much working with and for people in heavily repressive situations and they often use #deltachat when signal, threema, WhatsApp don't work .... And even if they do. Why? Because our apps provide instant onboarding without phone numbers, multi-profile and multi-device support and a pretty secure audited and analysed key management protocol without key servers. Plus support for state of the art circumvention proxying. There is a whole lot more than PFS to consider.

But now comes the hard part. Finding a server. This can be frustrating to the new user. There are over 3000 servers listed on the Mastodon site, where you can choose the ones that match your interests. They will all be closed to new members.
