Peep the 7 min mark where I try to do a live coding demo and have to sit on the floor to try to see the screen. 🤪
Also, here's another talk I did at #IPFS Camp 2022 on #Agregore

My nose was kinda congested and I was going on 4 hours of sleep as usual so I'm glad I managed to get it working at all. 😂
Main takeaway is that I think this #localfirst web stuff is important for creating resilient software in the face of global climate change and political turmoil.
Here's my talk on what #IPLD is at #IPFS Camp 2022!

I was the third talk I was doing in as many hours so excuse me if I was a bit tired. :P
Still pretty happy with how it turned out.
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: https://octodon.social/@cwebber/109202062994483288
https://toot.cafe/@andrew_chou/109088423048759654 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.
https://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 http://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."

First-ever Gitea pull request from a remote instance!!! 🎉🥳
https://git.exozy.me/Ta180m/Hello-world/pulls/3
I've been waiting for this moment for months now!
The code hasn't been pushed to https://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: https://gitea.com/Ta180m/gitea/issues/7)
Just made my first official contribution to a new opensource browser 😁 https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-browser/releases/tag/v1.4.0
d'oh
maybe we shouldn't have put all our decentralised Web behind a couple of giant centralised CDN services

<< A Cloudflare outage, which began about 15 minutes ago, has hit several popular services including Discord, Omegle, DoorDash, Crunchyroll, Feedly, Zerodha, Medium.com, news outlet Register, Upstox and Social Blade. The internet infrastructure firm said it is investigating the “wide-spread” issue, but it’s unclear what all regions are impacted. >>
Last minute #AppleEvent predictions? Sure why not:
* Mac Ultra mini: No screen, no ports, no I/O besides WiFi. Give it a 'net connection and hope it computes something for good
* Apple Reality glasses. Not Virtual, not Augmented, just Reality™. It just shows you the impending destruction of climate change and overlays corporate sponsor logos on politicians' suits
* Apple Pencils for #Twitter: They come in a two pack now. Instead of opening Twitter you can just shove both into your eyes
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
