My daughter’s smile.

Do you honestly think the people running for office are capable of “handling” this any differently?

This comment changed my life. Thanks.

I used to think json was the best until I found json lines or line delimited json. Thank me later. I use it all the time. You can append until you’re blue in the face. It’s great for log files. Each line is a valid json file.

I think they had far more nefarious reasons than that. They intentionally try to divide themselves from the other corporate party to keep us (the poor) infighting. It was a simple exercise in branding.

Let’s put it this way: If this were the WWF, they were chosen to play the role of the Undertaker so we’d fight hard for Hulk Hogan despite Hulk Hogan being good friends with the Undertaker (indeed working WITH the undertaker all along) to take away our basic freedoms. They like to show us the blatant evil so that we’ll accept the fake good guys as our allies.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Another way might be for a Lemmy instance to run a stake pool from the same machine. They could offer perks to users while also not requiring donations directly. Perhaps even reward users with the pool’s native tokens for every post they submit or something (this is a great place to bring up the drawbacks and very real issues that offering a perverse incentive can have: Cobra Effect).

The tech chosen is a key decision(in this case Cardano would be my recommendation honestly because I prefer the tech and not because I have a bag of it) because that stake pool could mint native tokens and use those as a currency for use on their instance if we used Cardano. Native tokens on Cardano are cheaper and not subject to the same fees as other (ERC-20) chains to use and mint. So it would allow that instance to have its own native currency with very little overhead.

Look at Kbin’s old code. There’s some mention of Cardano wallets on there so I’m guessing that the creator of that was interested in this idea.

Let’s go one further and compel Apple, Microsoft, and Google to open source their entire operating systems. :)

Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.

It feels like magic. I think of it as the glue that makes almost all of my software work together seamlessly. I can’t wait to use it for one-click deployments of my software on a server or high-availability cluster.

This is why I decided to learn Nix. I built dev environment flakes that provision the devshell for any language I intend to use. I actually won’t even bother unless I can get something working reliably with Nix. ;)

For example, here’s a flake that I use for my Python dev environment to provide all needed wiring and setup for an interactive Python web scraper I built:

{
  description = "Interactive Web Scraper";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs?ref=nixpkgs-unstable";
    utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, utils }: utils.lib.eachSystem ["x86_64-linux"] (system: let
    pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = system; };
  in rec {
    packages = {
      pyinputplus = pkgs.python3Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
        pname = "pyinputplus";
        version = "0.2.12";
        src = pkgs.fetchPypi {
          inherit pname version;
          sha256 = "sha256-YOUR_SHA256_HASH_HERE";
        };
      };

      pythonEnv =
        pkgs.python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ webdriver-manager openpyxl pandas requests beautifulsoup4 websocket-client selenium packages.pyinputplus ]);
    };

    devShell = pkgs.mkShell {
      buildInputs = [
        pkgs.chromium
        pkgs.undetected-chromedriver
        packages.pythonEnv
      ];

      shellHook = ''
        export PATH=${pkgs.chromium}/bin:${pkgs.undetected-chromedriver}/bin:$PATH
      '';
    };
  });
}

Threads used to bewilder me until I started using Haskell. Holy shit that felt like magic, turning an app parallel with two lines of code.

Now, I just have to worry about memory limits….

“I” seem to require? No. I’m deferring to the cypherpunk manifesto which rings true over and over again.

IMO, anonymity should be able to be switched on and off at will by the user. Selective disclosure using homomorphic encryption coupled with digital identity can achieve both, IMO.

In particular, businesses require anonymity in much of their chain of custody…and I think that’s fair.

Perhaps. I tend to listen to Snowden when it comes to tech. But I haven’t used it yet because all of the implementations I could use involved a bitcoin wallet. I’m a fan of crypto but that felt weird.

Someone else reassured me that NOSTR is a very open platform and that requirement wasn’t true.

From my research, I have found it to be far more decentralized than Lemmy’s (and the pub/sub) federated model, which would also, obviously have the same drawbacks that we see in other truly decentralized tech like crypto, torrents, and tor where you are on your own in the world, forced to literally keep the ocean of shit from infecting you! 😉

So, I think of those things as necessary evils. For example, if I used NOSTR, I could have an address that follows me no matter what. That cryptographic hash is my NOSTR identity for better or worse. That’s pretty powerful and far more secure than a two step verification process in the long run.

I don’t know enough about it yet. But I’d say it is a raw technology that I wouldn’t allow the criminals and trolls of the world define for me.

Are the people who invented this aware of NOSTR?
If so, what makes this different? And if not, perhaps we could use NOSTR to bridge the gap in the fediverse at the moment between NOSTR users and Mastodon/Pixelfed/Lemmy/KBIN/MBIN users

I started forking Lemmy for an inventory system but then realized that NOSTR was far more suited to that and other applications that require security and encryption.

Thanks for not putting blinders on. I was actually banned by hexbear for not being leftist enough but I still make it a point to seek out perspectives that differ from the censorship-happy tribalist hivemind on world. Communist leopards have yet to eat my face contrary to what the libs on world might have me believe. :)
