@tgall @librelounge that said we achieved a lot of interop points between activitypub and solid so I think we can work together

@tgall @librelounge The Solid folks were part of the SocialWG group initially, then partially left. However we did achieve some interoperability by having Linked Data Notifications and ActivityPub use the same delivery mechanism, and LDN is kind of the bridge between those worlds.

I'm not sold on solid's design however because a) maybe not everyone wants to work at the graph level but more importantly b) it takes an ACL approach which is structurally doomed

@ckeen @librelounge oh ha, I think you got it when it was .xml for like the briefest of moments, when I was figuring out what to call the feed... sorryyyyy

Switch it over .rss and it should be fine

@brainwane :D

you are a machine
serious and true

Video introduction to Push, a lispy stack-based genetic programming language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGJWlSC0gl4&t=42s

Push still intrigues me. Though I still wonder if an approach that uses a single stack with generics might be more likely to work in an environment as "squishy" as genetic programming than the separate-stacks approach that Push uses. I wrote up some ideas for that here a while ago: https://dustycloud.org/blog/gush-intro/

@ilovecomputers @eloisa has some of the right ideas for sure and some things done wrong as well, but a great place to look for ideas

time to dd an install image to a usb stick and check the device in the command and that my backups are up to date a billion times before hitting enter first

@eloisa nobody yet but see https://octodon.social/@cwebber/101253155221247628 for some of my writing on how to get us there

the first of the two links has some a bit too-early thinking on it but will give you some ideas hopefully

btw, some of the "gaps" that were left in the activitypub spec were intentionally there to enable this to exist https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/final-documents/activitypub-decentralized-distributed.md

for example "why didn't activitypub require https as the only valid uri scheme / protocol"

well, the solution to the "content surviving when nodes go down" may rely on the fact that this was left open: https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/magenc.md

@scolobb it doesn't work with my scanner but Rekado and others tell me they have no problems

it might be that my scanner is old and unsupported in SANE anymore...

allow me to criticize the state of the fediverse as much as love it:

- tiny brain: mega-node such as mastodon.social oh dang it we've reinvented twitter
- regular brain: I'll just choose an instance off of joinmastodon.org oh dang it got shut down everything I love is lost
- galaxy brain: I'll self host fedi software oh god this is hard I'm afraid to upgrade
- universe brain: we need to merge the fediverse with p2p network designs so a node going down isn't catastrophic

@falsemirror and as for the news site comparison, Mario 64 was 8 MB

Guess I need to install debian on one of my old machines just so I can scan images and download images from my phone, neither of which I have ever gotten working on Guix SD

literally just those two reasons

well at least they were shitty speakers
