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

mostly for the purpose of offline / async posting, not so much as a backup microblogs are not very important in an archival sense, its more about the transient moment
keeping a local copy of my posts in tw.txt format :ok_hand:

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

maybe i should update my kernel then i wanted to stick to lts, but that may not be an option. does alpine still have a hardened kernel?
> counterpoint: it is now the year 2021. if folk were going to develop any infosec hygiene regarding the web browsers they'd have done it by now. ~djsundog~
i've been meaning to read these notes, maybe putting the book on my ereader will be a better reminder than whatever i did last time π

this web discourse is pretty hilarious, time to stop checking twtxt.net tho XD i can just stick to my own subs ^^
@adi this is one of the major issues that i have with web technology. really basic shit like an email client or a git browser is really heavy for no good reason. to wit: when i am talking about the web i am mostly taking issue with web browsers, not web servers.
the future is paying 60 USD for a game you already own
@prologic lol ok πππ there are lots of things wrong with the web

honestly, one of the things that appeals to me about project gemini is that solderpunk went and made a new box to experiment with. gemini has its own weaknesses, but the idea that you can go and easily build a useful protocol in a small amount of code is really inspiring and much more interesting than most of the projects i hear about these days. https://gemini.circumlunar.space/
maybe the problem isn't the implementation or how open the thing is. maybe the problem is the design. maybe being compatible hurts your ability to do something that's interesting and useful. maybe the web isn't a perfect thing. just a thought.
mfw alternative web = the same web, but good XD XD XD XD=
nexus crashed again... this time i will disable c6 and see how it goes.
thanks to the peculiar tenacity of fixed-width typefaces, most programming languages can still be comfortably written on a 50-year-old typewriter. Howβs that for backward compatibility?

it would appear that twtxt puts me into the same domapine loop i would like to avoid this please.
maybe some day i will figure out what is making my server crash. slowly working my way down the list of things that cause a soft lock on a ryzen 1800x
@prologic i might be interested in working on twtxt in some capacity. still testing the waters though. most likely i will write and publish my own compatible take that encourages an offline-first workflow.
@prologic i'm trying to decide how i want to relate to social networking. i'm taking it slow and making my own tools for interfacing with the networks that i care about.
agile / scrum is fine, but as a tool for developers to keep tight feedback loops with people who don't know what they want well enough to give a formal spec; not as a tool for managers to squeeze productivity.
i have but one use of feddy per day, and i used mine this morning just to waste time
i have a compulsion to post. why do i have a compulsion to post?
are your thoughts always words? mine are only sometimes
youmi zouma makes me think about a room mate showering.. hmm
maybe social networking is just terrible and bad
[nexus] letting resilver run with the regular workload turned off just to be nice to the machine
me? crazy? why that's madness
twtxt.net looks quite nice, but i wish it was designed to encourage an offline / async workflow
[nexus] resilver in progess since 2021-02-12T12:29:36-07:00. no estimated completion time.
