FRIEND: Your kitchen looks great

ME: Wanna see the new garbage disposal?

FRIEND: Sure

ME: [opening cupboard to reveal a large raccoon napping] His name is Boris

fedi meta 

I like my fedi timeline right now because similarly to my twitter feed I end up getting just the tip of "the discourse" so I can kinda know what's going on without getting overwhelmed by it

LMAO already vibrating in place because I thought of some stuff I need to do.

Gonna be the biggest test of self control after not ignoring alarms when I'm feeling sleepy.

Alright. Time for my first vacation off work (for two weeks) since I started working full time. 🤪

No extra obligations, just relaxing and not focusing on productivity or commitments.

Social media is NOT about numbers of likes and retweets, it’s about finding out weird stuff the CIA did in the 60’s

Page 37 of this PDF really spelled it out for me. :O

Each of the "stores" can be IPLD Prolly Trees and the connections can be via distributed compute pipelines. 😍

Even the query layer can be distributed across multiple workers in order to take advantage of locality and parallel processing.

Who needs earthly pleasures when you have distributed database engineering. 😎

Just learned more about how HTAP databases work and can't stop thinking about creating pipelines for auto-generating p2p search indexes over raw p2p data collections. 🤓

Java programmers should be communists all they do is focus on class

Wrote up my blog post on databases on top of / Prolly Trees. Hoping to switch up how databases are approached with a focus on performance and the ability to combine datasets determenistically.

@mauve A lot of the problems I've had to solve involve coordinating rich interactions between multiple programs that have a separation of concerns that is intuitive to people (to avoid permissions and therefore permission fatigue) while also allowing maximum functionality.

I sort of want a set of Unix-ish single purpose command line tools for ActivityPub with which to do things like:
`readnote --wait @foo@example.com | jq '.object.content' | striptag > foonote.txt`
Doing auth and the rest with cURL is a PITA but with a little automation fun could be had. Someone has to have already made this, right?

All I want for Christmas is a domesticated raccoon that wants to eat lasagna with me & go on quirky adventures. It would also be nice if the raccoon could do magic but I understand that is asking a lot and therefore, it is not required.

I've got spatial computing on the mind.

Had some chats today about what interaction with virtual objects would even look like. So far it's a big question mark.

Another is the interfaces that should be exposed to 3d objects to be able to make them interactable but which keep them sandboxed from wreaking havoc on the rest of your space.

My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar

The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.

The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!

There are accounts from the first settlers to Turtle Island that the forests were so abundant with food, and that the #indigenous folks they encountered seemed to eat along their pathways while traveling easily. This wasn't an accident. The forests were cultivated food forests, a great technological advance that was then mostly decimated, chopped down, and made into monocrops of things like wheat and corn. #permaculture and #foodforests are Indigenous innovations. Let's bring them back!

People wonder how feasible it is for websites to integrate with ActivityPub. So here's an interesting thought experiment for you:

44% of websites run on WordPress.

Joining ActivityPub is just a matter of installing this plugin on a Wordpress site. wordpress.org/plugins/activity
