One of my coworkers has a bunch of her talks posted online and it seems to have some useful tech info in there.

Seeing early adopters successful like this give me major sense of happiness after over a year of development work #p2p #webdev

I think I may have recovered my mastodon instance finally. 😭

Advertising is literally pollution and it causes psychic damage

The US has been purpose-building hell on earth for minors for about two decades, and mark my words *everything* that is being done to trans kids and undocumented kids will make that hell far, far worse for all kids here.

Public spaces ubiquitously ban minors these days, hostile civil engineering that builds stroads everywhere make the outdoors ugly and dangerous, the commons have long since been enclosed, the internet is deep into its own age of enclosure, surveillance of minors is becoming more widespread and invasive every day, their rights and privacy are barely that of property. Now we see them being stripped of labor protections and subjected to genital exams.

Our most vulnerable community members are *daily* being subjected to more and more inhumane conditions, deprived of autonomy and humanity. Our society's naked contempt for the young seems to have no end.

A big day to day pain point for me is that my speech is like a quarter of the speed I think at ao my brain gets confused trying to keep my sentances queued up and coherent.

I wish I could dump thoughts out my mouth at the same rate as the 2x speed youtube videos I watch 🤪

Socket Runtime’s #p2p takes #wasm out of the cloud, beyond the edge, and makes it ubiquitous. “Edge” computing is just a half step on the historic path away from the costs and constraints of the data center.

I wish retirement wasn't just an option for the privileged but a mandatory thing for everyone. I feel like we could have more social progress if people (including those with power) would just vibe and relax for their final years before death.

Speaking to older people their perception and values in life change over time and we could all benefit by embracing it.

ZIP files are fun. You need to scan for 4 magic bytes starting from the end of the file. Then from there you can figure out how many bytes before that offset to start finding "file header offsets" in the rest of the file and the file names / sizes. But then you need to parse the file header offset to actually know where the file starts. :P

Very convoluted but I guess it could be worse.

I wish more folks I knew ran or a similar p2p browser so that I could send them p2p archives of web articles instead of raw links so that they could skip the paywall and adblocking bits on their end. 🤔

Just found out which family member I'm around is openly transphobic/homophobic. Very upsetting that this is top of their priority list vs all the stuff they can be happy about instead.

Alan Turing is widely recognized as a hero and a genius. He’s considered the father of theoretical computer science and AI.

But he was also a gay man whom the British government chemically castrated.

Turing killed himself because of the way his government treated him.

What more might he have done had he lived?

As this wave of hatred sweeps the US, I wonder how many gay and trans Alan Turings we’ve already lost, and how many we’ll continue to lose.

Power outage around my city from freezing rain. Luckily my cell connection still works. We couldn't cook anything so we ordered some take out. 5 of us sitting at the table chatting with the candle light.

I find myself saying "community-owned independent social media sites" rather than "fediverse" in mixed company because it gets a much better reaction (active interest rather than blank stares)

I realize that the venn diagram of the two does not overlap perfectly but the overlap is precisely the stuff I actually care about and I'd rather be inaccurate in a way that garners interest than similarly-inaccurate in a way that doesn't

Though TBH my initial approach would have been better for a purely streaming mode where we process and chunk the WARC file on the fly. Now I need to be able to do random access to a WARC either on the FS or via Range queries over the network.

Due to my hubris I am in the process of rewriting my zip file parser from scratch. :P At least now I have experience using the particular APIs and the things I need to watch out for from using Blobs.

Really wish there was an OS that forced apps to decouple their data layer from their UI layer so that users could bring different UIs to the same data or combine multiple data providers in one Ui.
