Agree it has to be 100% sandboxes. Note that TC39 has a proposal for realms that is moving along. It is meant to allow sandboxing in JS. https://github.com/tc39/proposal-realms

Announcing a project to "re-decentralize the web" on Medium takes a bit of oomph out of the message.

Worth noting that this allows the httpd executable to bind to a low port. Meaning that any call to httpd now has this privilege. A reverse proxy is much more targeted. For httpd this may not matter as much because it's only used as a s

I was a backer when it came out but it has not become what I had hoped it would be. It seems the need to alter the applications to work as a sandstorm app means most apps were a few versions behind and often contained bugs. I tried doing so

The author claims winners and losers but doesn't talk about the criteria for winning and losing. Decentralized networks aren't after the same things as centralized ones. They're not after engagement metrics, ARPU, or stock va

Yes, that was technical. That's the stage we're in right now because AP is quite new. It will take a while for it to develop and mature to the point where interesting new use cases emerge for non-technical people. Personally I&#x2

Fine, that was technical. But regular people care about being threatened and hateful conduct. On twitter countless reports go unanswered, and it's pretty clear at this point that there is no intent to make the situation better. On Mast

You're describing ActivityPub, which is a W3C recommendation[0], which happens to be what Mastodon uses. At least one blogging platform is set up to interact with the fediverse[1]. Hopefully many more one day. [0] https://ww

Third party services are very helpful and I'm grateful for them, but I wish it were easier to host personal server applications on the internet. I'd like to be able to host an ActivityPub server myself with only a minimum amount o

The people who built it did not build the internet, they built the social platforms and ad systems that run on top of the internet. The internet existed long before these people built what they built.

You need to defend against both. Heck, if your social network ever becomes popular you'll need to deal with: - fake instances / relays meant to vacuum personal data for sale and profit - identity thieves, both the broad-and-shallo

Interesting concept. What is your use case for this? Also, you say you have "spreadsheet formulas", but is it possible to apply a formula to a range of nodes, like you can in an actual spreadsheet?
