F-Droid is ideal, all reproducible builds, opensource. It's totally doable, but thinks like banking apps and utility apps, aren't on there, as probably never will be as they all do dodgy stuff they don't want you knowing about.
The reason I hate app stores, is because we already have a (somewhat decentralised) trusted transport in TLS/HTTPS. Like, I know if I'm on the hsbc.co.uk website, I'm 99.999999% sure I'm actually speaking to hsbc. So, then provide me the APK and let me down it. Or, make a decent PWA/WebApp so I don't need your app.
Thing is. I don't trust Google or Apple even a fraction as much as I would trust the TLS of the companies domain.
I've tried to stay away from hosting email servers myself. It's really hard. But I've thought about a project which uses something like mailgun or SES, but then I create a ui and restful server over the top of it. But, priorities....

If you're going to use React, TypeScript, NextJs, Webpack, Styled Components, Material UI, Jest, and the 10k dependencies that comes with it, then yeah, your dev environment is going to be slow, bloated, and incredibly frustrating to work with. Not to mention have security issues. I've literally just done a fresh
create-react-app installation (latest version 5.0.1 as I write this), and boom, 6 high severity vulnerabilities.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Choose lightweight libraries that do one thing really well, and build your project from the ground up yourself.

So maybe it's cut off by file size?
Does it cut off at 25 pages max, or 2 weeks old max?
What happens to older twts?

Seems the summary benchmark of a 5node cluster on my laptop is:
GET: 1165.64 requests per second
SET: 1061.80 requests per second
I wonder if sharding could be implemented by:
Presumptions:
- redis can broadcast to all nodes in the cluster
- REPLICA_COUNT is 3
PUT workflow:
- a PUT get's forwarded to REPLICA_COUNT random nodes in the cluster
GET workflow:
- a broadcast is made to the cluster saying "I NEED A VALUE FOR KEY 'TEST'"
- all nodes that contain that value reply to the server
- the first response get's forwarded to the client
- the other responses are discarded
I'm sure there would be some edges cases, like syncing.
- What if 1 of the random node's is full and therefore only REPLICA_COUNT-1 nodes received the document
- This could me 2 nodes have the new value, but the 3rd has the old value
Maybe it could be solved by only committing once REPLICA_COUNT nodes successfully receive the message.
- lightweight
- clustered
- sharded (so if I have 5 instances and 100 keys, each node will roughly have 20 keys on it).
- easy to join nodes: as in
kv-server --join somehost:1111For reference, I think Consul is too heavy (and not sharded I believe).
It would be great to have a small go executable, that I can run on 10 servers, all connected up, that exposes a redis like api. Simple GET, PUT and STREAM would be great.

@prologic anyone else here I can ping?
So you would add an account (minimum of one), then you could also add additional. Then if you can't connect to the first pod, you can connect to the second?
Still pointless? I mean. It's easier to just have 1 account that's stored and connected to every time. But I'm just wondering if anyone here does have multiple accounts.
I'm considering a slack like approach, where down the left hand side you can have multiple pod instances.
Do people have an account on multiple pods? Or is there not really any point since you can feed into any pod from any other pod?
I don't think it's needed and have pretty much exclusively been doing "no mocking", "no hooks", and it's worked well for me.

I think really we're stuck with them and their vendor locked, restricted, marketplace centric platforms. But we can minimize the lockin we use.
Make sure you only use VM's. Don't use any of their cloud databases, build, pipelines, kubernetes, containers, etc. Just use, simple, basic, abundant virtual machines that can be portable to other cloud companies.
Apple managed to escape by using their own ARM mobile chips in the M1/M2 laptops. But the problem is Apple still create's a walled garden they can take over without your knowledge at any time. So we're back to square one.
I've had to suck it up, stick with this stupid Intel processor, but I'm on a system76 [2] (an amazing linux laptop to be fair) which uses coreboot , which at least frees me from the UEFI [3] firmware mess (which is Microsoft's control over what OS you can boot).

Hmmmmmm
Twtxt search says it's there, but I can't actually see the post. I do follow hacker-news on twtxt, but there's only like 5 posts from there.
Is this expected or a bug?
Haha, yeah, you're right.
It's the points I listed after, that gets me to the conclusion macOS is trash.
Signing is a great feature. But the gatekeeper shouldn't be Apple.
8gb is huge. But I guess, like everything, it's subjective.
But I really hate:
- telemetry
- signing/gatekeeping software
- can't actually download it in a nice iso
- lots of legal conditions, like only allowed on Apple hardware. Can't just buy the os.
- closed source
- its huge. Like GBs in size
Currently I use popOS on a System76 laptop. It's pretty good, although I wish it wasn't based on Ubuntu.

I got a Windows PC for gaming a while back, which is Windows 10 I think. The entire thing is just a cesspit of surveillance and adverts. But, with the added benefit, of having to pay for a closed source proprietary piece of garbage.
Why anyone would choose to use that over Linux or a Mac is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, macOS is still trash. But miles better than that Windows disaster.

What feature in this release are you liking the most?

We're struggling to fund our national health service, but yet our tax money can be spent towards this uneducated and ill-informed anti encryption and privacy campaign.
What an embarrassment for the UK.

Although, I think the problem also stems from web browsers not doing enough to sandbox domains. A huge benefit of web and the web browser, is that you can go to untrusted websites, and not have it compromise/track/monitor/leak info to other sites/app on your device.
Third party cookies should never have been a thing.
My take away is that basically all of mainstream news/media is entertainment, and not actual news. I ignore most of it.
@adi (#zbdjjsq) Do they have an ARM version? I couldn't see it on their website. Unfortunately, I think this is the only option for those who want an ARM laptop, and care about their security/privacy:

I used Riot for a bit and it was alright, but again with the transpiler tag file syntax, it just gets needlessly complex. It's actually what introduced me to Rollup.

It's just when compared to something like MithrilJS, it's very complicated and slow. But it's definitely the lesser of the evils (popular frameworks/libraries) out there.
But to answer why everybody is doing it, I think it's community, ecosystem and echo chambers.
But the client is slow and bloated. Syncing would frequently make my laptop fans go mad.
I looked into implementing a lightweight client for it, but the rabbit hole was too deep when reading about the protocol and how everything was stitched together.

An even better move would be to just keep their Safari browser up to date with the web standards from at least 3 years ago. From my perspective, the only time I ever need an actual App, is for Push Notifications or File API access.
The only reason you should "need" to be in the App Store, is if you want Apple to market your app. If you are happy to market your "app" yourself (by that I mean Progressive Web App), then you shouldn't need Apple.
The big media corps are just hanging on by threads to their old fashioned ways.

I use DuckDuckGo for more of my searches, but sometimes I'm lazy and use the @g hash bang to just redirect me to Google. But most of the times Google wants me to fill in a CAPTCHA.
That means I lose my search term and have to type it in again, or just solve it.
But no more! I have made a simple extensi that puts your query into another search engine.

While the specs are still quite poor compared to Intel and even ARM, the progress seems great. 500mhz to 1.5ghz in just over a year.
For some background, RISC-V is an open source. free (as in freedom) architecture that should facilitate more open hardware.
box. I feel like this, along with ulinux, is something I've wanted for years. I don't want/need/use 90% of the features of docker or linux.
But I'm not allowed to create it because it goes over my allowed "monthly" limit.
So, I asked for the limit to be increased.
Support gets back to me, saying I can't get the limit increased until I'm using my current limit.
I'm trying the imagine the scenario below:
Mark: hello bartender, may I have 1 IPA please?
Bartender: sorry sir, we can't give you an IPA until you've drank at least 5 Heineken
Mark: Oh no, I really don't want Heineken. I have no use for it. It's too weak and tastes like urine.
Bartender: I'm sorry sir. You must buy the Heineken before we can serve you the good beers.
I hope one day my business makes so much money I can turn away paying customers.

I like the simplicity. It's very centralised though. I wonder if there's a federated or decentralised way of doing this (without going down the block chain path).
