I'd recommend _Never Split The Difference_, by former Chief FBI Hostage Negotiator Chris Voss. Very fun read and widely applicable. Spoiler: His advice is not to strong-arm, but to build trust with your counterpart.

Hi HN, I'm the OP. This really started from the compilation album that is the site's namesake. I was so emotionally excited about digitally recreating that album that I thought about building a website and maybe finding out who B

I like the use of IPv6 addresses as a cryptographic identity. Have there been any discussions about DNS-style layers on top of the mesh?

I hadn't realized it but I already do this for some things. I build things with Ruby on Rails infrequently enough that I need to reference docs a lot. I've been trained to not bother searching "the web", and instead go

I'm trying to distinguish between Haven and Mastodon-type systems. "Federated" to me generally means you have many multi-user servers. With Haven, the server only hosts a single identity--yours, since you're the admini

I think this is a great idea. I don't have much time to commit right now but I'd love to stay connected with your efforts. Do you want to put up a quick google form or similar to collect emails of people like me who are interest

At the start of the pandemic, I would "build" my office every morning in the bedroom of our small apartment. We had a coffee table that would rise up to make my desk, I'd open up a folding chair, plug in my external monitor

I've been working on a self-hosted (not federated) model for social media called Haven[1]. RSS (with HTTP basic auth) was the obvious answer for "how do I track all of my friends' different sites?" It has the advantage

> How many people can honestly and explicitly articulate their purpose, or mission, on social media? Is it to gain followers? Sell books? Build a Substack list? What? This line resonated a lot with me and some of my goals and anti-goals

These are great, but it's too bad they need to be so siloed. All of these applications are popular partly because they're on the _internet_ where we can link between things. I'm not likely to click a Medium link and then go

I know people like to hate on it, but "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferris. It made starting a company feel accessible and prompted me to quit my first "real" job to try building something. I've since gone back to

This looks really cool--I'm interested to try using it. On signup, Firefox warns me that you'll share my email with Facebook. Do you know what's up with that? Is there any way to opt-out?

There's a bifurcation of goals in modern platforms, where traditional forums (with their smaller, niche communitites) only catered to one of those goals. The common goal is community. You have a small gaming forum and you're talk

Owner of a Quest 1, so I've never linked to FB, but that's also locked me.out of Venues (which was how they broadcast Connect in VR). Any speculation on whether Venues will still require a FB account?

RSS works great with HTTP Basic Auth. This is the approach I'm using with Haven[1] to expose private personal blog content via RSS. In this manner, each user gets a dedicated RSS link of the form: https://name:token@exampl

Seems like there were two things Abbot did "wrong", one was to argue against affirmative action, and the other was to use a nazi reference to make his point. Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of what the mob said on Twitter?
