My posts are strictly NSFW (pro-union)

The local-only web.
With the File System API there's an interesting area of the web (kinda pioneered by TiddyWiki and put into practice by logseq) of having web apps store their data outside of their normal sandbox and not synced to the cloud.

The large tech layoffs wouldn’t have happened with unions in place. (Effective, mass-membership unions.)
Oh well, maybe next time.
Nothing like the rush of fixing your live demo literally at the last minute.
Honestly very thankful to be in the social bubble that I currently inhabit.
As much as I love fancy tooling, it pretty much always bites me in the rear whenever I stray even slightly from the happy path in their README.
This message brought to you by trying to use fastify and swagger and multipart/formdata at the same time. 🙃 Very surprising that it's not just built in. I'm guessing people that use swagger don't generally use file uploads?

I love e-ink ereaders because they're like this vestige of when tech was good
The battery lasts like a month
They work fine (better) without an internet connexion
You can interact with them using the file manager and it's perfectly good
The files are an open format
It isn't surveillance ad-tech

I wonder if one could compile Chrome OS from within a chromebook.
One reason I want to create an @agregore OS based on Chrome OS is that there's loads of #ChromeBook e-waste that could be repurposed into #p2p #meshnetwork nodes.
They're probably cheaper to get a hold of than other computers since there's so many being flooded as schools buy and get rid of them.
Adding p2p mesh stuff and de-googling them somewhat would be useful to bring utility to folks with less means or in situations where always-on internet just isn't viable.
Really cool video by @b5@octodon.social looking at optimizations over #kademlia #dht algos by taking latency into account when searching for data. Seems like it would be very useful for #p2p and #localfirst protocols.

i just let rip a new piece of writing:
a year-long observation on trends in the peer-to-peer space, namely the appearance of companies building platforms on top. outlined are a few of these platform companies, accompanied by questions regarding expected futures, as well as a small essay on the importance of community infrastructure

Layers support!
You can now organise your sketches with up to eight layers. ✨
Easily show/hide your references or drafting lines, merge and delete, it even works with exports! #vr #ar #opensource
God I don't want to work today. I just want to be cozy in bed and listening to a spooky podcast or something.
Sadly I need to instead do end to end testing of distributed publishing workflows and make sure it's all working by Thursday. 😓
We'll know the #fediverse has finally made it to the mainstream when we start seeing screenshots of posts on people's Instagram reels.

i think in general i feel that software developers are not meaningful innovators, or rather, i do not trust them to come up with a reliable encoding for a system (reputation) that whole disciplines have studiously avoided encoding because of its fluidity and relativity. so when a dev says to me, "we don't need more mods, we just need TrustPoints (TM)" i get very skeptical
It's amazing that database queries work at all given how groady some of the join pyramids people use are.
#SQL is powerful as hell but the evil magic that goes into making it possible is pretty intense.

excellent new post by @cblgh reflecting on the rise of commercial #p2p: https://cblgh.org/p2p-commercialization/
Yes I am in fact procrastinating on the fediverse instead of updating the budget / timeline of this grant. :P
