"Most anarchists always wear black. However, knowledgeable intellectual anarchists occasionally avoid wearing black in order to subvert preconceptions about the way that anarchists dress. Very knowledgeable intellectual anarchists subvert the stereotype of how knowledgeable anarchist intellectuals occasionally avoid wearing black by never avoiding wearing black. The really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchists realize that it doesn't matter what you wear as long as you (1) hate the government, and (2) never use a coaster. And the extremely really really really knowledgeable intellectual anarchist wear nothing at all except combat boots and a black silk cape with the anarchy sign on it."
@Gmaclennan Have you thought ahout ditching hypercore oplogs for replicating at the sqlite storage layer? Merkalize the b tree and have sql as your primiyive and sync the source trees from other writers (still runs into paralell writers issue hut maybe merged can happen more efficiently that way too?
The real truth is I can schrdule more time for art in my free time instead of tv or something. Just gotta get around the hand pain 😅😅😅
@requiem Considering the nature of the bulk of my searching, I'm beginning to think I'd like a search engine that incorporated:
* 3rd party curated resources (i.e. like a library)
* 1st party curated resources (things I think are reputable)
* Federated search from trusted comrades.
* Last would be some sort of webcrawler. Maybe.
I know this goes against the grain of modern life, but the idea of instant answers seems to have poisoned our minds. We tolerate wrong answers as long as they're fast.
With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?
Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.
Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

"Daily Driving Mobile Linux" posts are too overdone. What about a "Not Daily Driving Android" post?
- I did not get popup ads obscuring my apps.
- I did not have to restart Google Play Services
- I was able to remove the apps my OS came with.
- My phone did not overheat because it is too weak for built-in Google tracking.
- My phone did not get a virus from the official app sources.
- I didn't have Sudoku 2 preinstalled.
Announcing the 10th #LoFi (#LocalFirst) meetup on Tuesday, November 28, at 11:00 AM EST. We have another fantastic lineup featuring Greg Svarovsky, Sunil Pai, and @mauve
Make sure to tune in by visiting https://lofi.software.
Cool thing in the #IPFS and #libp2p ecosystem is #IPNSLink https://ipnslink.com/
tl;dr: Run a server somewhere (like at home), generate a public key for it's identity. Users can access it from either the p2p network directly or any gateway that will automatically route to it.
No need for dns or messing with ip addresses.
I'm thinking it could be handy for #SocialInbox users that want to self host at home on their pc.
Follow @HyphaCoop@hypha.coop for our announcement post on the 5th!

It is not ideal. If I had known this and read the fine-print, I probably wouldn't have shared it 😔

I'd like to thank Amazon for their decision to start charging for IPv4 addresses on top of their already inflated monthly charges for a small VPS we're running on their infrastructure. Caused me to finally do some comparative shopping and wow, turns out we can get what we need, and more, from another provider for about a quarter of what we're paying now
