My observation is that this move has increased the amount of toxicity in social media. There's plenty of room for ActivityPub and atproto to work together to decentralize things. Instead, this has generated a lot of infighting. Nothing

I'm hopeful that ubiquitous AR can be a good thing. I remember being inspired many years ago by the book "Rainbows End" about the possibilities. I am a bit concerned to see advertising companies at the forefront. This is a gr

That's an interesting claim. I make range requests to 100GB+ files (genomics) all the time for work and it works great. I've never considered total file size as directly related to latency in this respect, assuming you have some s

Indie hosted PDS is on my list as well. I'm also currently trying to understand the tradeoffs for did:plc more. It's unclear to me just how centralized it is. Will it always require a single central directory, or is it more like C

> If you open devtools you'll see that the app is communicating with your PDS. That's pretty cool. Does bsky.app do a DID resolve or does it have a faster back channel for determining PDS addresses for bsky.social?

How does this work in practice? What systems are in place to prevent someone selling an exploit and then turning around and disclosing it properly as soon as they have the money, potentially getting even more money through legal channels? I

I wouldn't be surprised if some HN client apps support markdown.

Interesting tech. I've considered implementing something similar but for WebSockets. I'd love to see some data on how effective it is at various levels of packet loss. To guarantee complete avoidance of HoL blocking you would need

SSH tunnels are an excellent tool, but nowadays you often want TLS and reverse proxy functionality built in. I maintain a list of such tools here: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling

A term I like, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue or fingers.

I like that. Home hosting is a term I've seen and really like, but I think it's too restrictive. There may be far more people who want to keep things in the cloud than who want to run in their house.

If my device supports the native format of the content, I definitely want it decoded there rather than transcoding on the server. Assuming said format isn't significantly more power hungry than the transcoded codec.

I think you're unlikely to have a very good experience with Tailscale behind CGNAT if you're doing anything high bandwidth like video streaming from a Plex/Jellyfin server. AFAIK Tailscale only supports 2 modes of connection:

What would you call it if it's hosted on someone else's server, but using open source software under your domain, and you have a complete backup of all the data so you could move it home or to another provider whenever you want?

There are other issues with the terminology as well. The self hosting community (centered at /r/selfhosted) has a very technical vibe. These people enjoy tinkering with computers. They're like kit car builders. But there&#x27

I already have a Fediverse account on my own domain (via masto.host, an excellent service). There's no way for me to reuse that ActivityPub actor with PeerTube. The fact that making this possible isn't a huge priority for the comm

I like to follow a pattern I call monomicro. Basically I develop separate programs for different functionality, but make them embeddable so they can be composed and run in the same memory space for small deployments. The code that runs htt

Looks interesting. Sadly it will likely be hamstring by CORS rules. When designing an API, I frequently send all non-GET requests as POSTs with content type text/plain in order for them to classify as simple requests and avoid CORS pre

Unfortunately yes. Usually just on little toy projects though. A more real recent example is this app at work: https://github.com/iobio/bam.iobio.io That repo is currently unmodifiable due to dependency deadlock/h
