my pikkulog is still going to be active since its part of my memex capture flow, but you will need to be authorized gemini://xj-ix.luxe:1969/log/

@prologic i've no solutions, but that's definitely a problem that i've some interest in. the point-to-point design of IP really is a non-starter for something like that though. named-data networking is a more interesting direction, but there are still other challenges with wireless mesh that are not addressed by IP or NDN.
i like this, but i also wonder if this is actually saving a significant amount of energy. i mean like, you have these servers which are solar powered, but the network they're connected to certainly is not. its definitely an interesting way to coordinate resources though.
I can't wait for this week to be over! It's just been one of those weeks — every human, every week ever
it's not about why things evolve to crabs, i want to know why indie laptop projects always end up looking like macbooks.
my source of inspiration: junk from a second-hand store (palm pilot, atari, super famicom, old school palm tops)
your source of inspiration: the expensive computer your work got you
classic lack of imagination

there's really nothing wrong with GMO as a technology. its not like we haven't been modifying organisms for thousands of years. the real issue, which is mentioned in this video, is the way intellectual property is handled wrt geneticall modified organisms. i can agree with more research into the topic, but i certainly cannot get behind the idea that GMO bad. there are lots of positive applications of GMO that we miss out on with this view of biotech https://www.youtube.com/user/TheChemlife

i wonder if i can replace my uses of haproxy with iptables 🤔 generally its a yes, but i do need some SNI sniffing in there to direct the streams at the right hosts in yggdrasil.
rapping in english is hard. i can do it, but its so much more work to grasp the flow. i can cover some aesop rock tracks and a struggle some, but then i'm just flowing in spanish. maybe i should just rap in spanish lmao
made a sauce so spicy for dinner that the cast iron made my breakfast spicy too
porting my memex scripts to rc shell has been fun. having lists is huge, even if they can't be nested.
myself included, some stuff was coming across corrupted because one of my servers did not have its charset set to utf8
i am surprised when things are not utf8, please support unicode not everyone is speaking english you know.
tfw boobs too small to suffocate anyone
an rpi based computer with its own punishment!
oh don't mind me, just porting srfi-1 to rc shell
jsyk this is an insult. t. edison is a salesman and a liar, not a genius inventor.
its a backhanded insult lol
depends on the direction that things end up going. at a certain point i am likely to consider the software done and i won't pick up additional features. i have added additional protocol support (mainly gemini right now, but my friend asked for 9p support and i'm happy to oblige), but generally i'm good with being compatible with mainline twtxt.
yup, that's why i'm writing my own client and eventually my own server ^^
of course, there are parts of doing any networked thing that require collaboration and that's GOOD. it just isn't often that projects encourage many alternate clients and server to be made.
i'm most interested in systems that are meant to stay small enough for folks to go build their own clients and servers easily and without big teams.

the right way to run searx is on localhost

> We had everything we needed, and none of the BS; cell phones, e-mail, instant messaging, SMS, file sharing, blogs, forums, and broadband internet were all widespread at that point.
> Everything since has just been layers of monetized, corporate controlled, walled garden crap that has objectively ruined society and turned the techno-utopian dreams we had then into a dystopic Orwellian nightmare.
> I've always said we peaked at the technology level of the late 90s.
oh wow you made money that's amazing and not like every other fucking thing on the planet
oh you poor things. having more ways to pay for internet doesn't change anything and you know that.
there's no difference between google, amazon, microsoft, or you know whatever other techbro CEO company you can think of
and of course, we all know that apple went bankrupt in the mid 90s after they purchased Be, Inc. and gave steve jobs the finger.
it was glorious and they left us with Haiku as a parting gift.
no point in differentiating either.
wait, can i just not quote this?
"rc is my new best friend"
my website is hosted on my laptop now, good luck everyone
i guess another question is, do we need networking to be secure? or maybe should private messages be delivered another way?
or maybe: instead of encrypting the transport, we make a habit of sharing encrypted files.
fighting spam and illegal/unethical content is much easier if you have explicit control over who you accept messages from.
the spam problem can't be solved efficiently by maintaining extensive deny lists. the only scalable way to handle spam is with allow lists and trust networks.
on second thought, fuck x86 and big computers. small simple and stupid is all i want to deal with anymore

i'd say in most cases, having another program in the mix is not the solution unless the problem is inherently technical and other software either misses the point, or solves a different (possibly overlapping) problem. its easy to think that hitting things with keyboards is a universal solution. especially if you have a lot of experience doing that. the common blindness of software people is the human elements that are often handled by other teams which eventually frame problems in technical terms for developers to deal with. then the naive developer goes home thinking they can replace the humans that make their work possible.
i really need to make my own client so i can stop browsing random tw.txt pods
its the same feed, if you look, they have the exact same contents. i left the other one up because i didn't want to break any links or subs.
i get it. to a certain extent, stability benefits agricultural humans. by now that's baked into the culture quite deeply. sometimes it works even, but when things start to change nobody is prepared. things are supposed to change in an orderly fashion! they plea, horrified with the truth that we are not gods. we are not in charge, we are inhabitants of a world that can adapt to changes on a scale we can scarcely comprehend.
weird shit is normal, what's weird is when folks think stability and permanence is normal.
if you take my advice, be sure you know why.
i'm not malicious, i just expect you to be able to think for yourself.
very happy to see progress on this front, i would love to use this as an opprotunity to go over my nawat learning materials again and copy them into a textual format using the new maya unicode allocations when they are ready
