    I poked around the Activity Stream docs a while back.

    And… as a pretend expert :) started wondering: In the big bad messy real world (super serious business), how does one on such a decentralized (social) network thoroughly:

    1. Block specific users from viewing
    2. Block specific users from following
    3. Block specific users from interacting
    4. Delete previous local/remote content from specific users following
    5. Delete previous local/remote interactions from specific users interacting

    ActivityPub is an open/transparent protocol (amazing) but for adoption, the expectation/reality of many users online anywhere (even public networks) is favourable discoverability not discoverability itself… however contradictory/debatable. That’s probably easy/possible centralized but stupid hard/impossible decentralized.

    The Chrome experimental recorder tool has been around for a long while. I thought it was still mostly but I got schooled and apparently, this is a more faster way to jump–start a puppeteer script/test:

    Starlink has officially arrived in The Bahamas as Starlink Services Bahamas Limited. Finally there’s economic pressure for better Internet infrastructure!

    I do wonder though, how will they (the musketeers) approach the eventual over–subscription problem–on second thought–that’s wholly irrelevant because well… the bar is obscenely low.

    Every satellite the techno–king (future emperor–suzerain?) launches is a fast moving death knell for our mostly unaware local . Isn’t the world rather boring in its predictability — I think so?

    I’ve had a draft post of Guix notes written up for a while now. Did you know that it’s easy to generate a file system specified from a config.scm? It’s somewhat equivalent to nixos-install, pacstrap and the like.

    shell
    guix system init --no-bootloader config.scm filesystem/

    Why? Commands like this are handy for messing around with chroots, containers, and other related stuff!

    > . You know I’ve been thinking, there are some protocols/standards that are technically so simple and elegant that the simplicity itself becomes its achilles’ heel economically. Complexity/inefficiency/scarcity is economics after all or so the story goes.

    Browser rendering engine feel: Webkit (Safari), Blink (Chrome) or Gecko (Firefox)?

    Which browser engine “paints” HTML the smartest on my device? In the clip below; Surf substitutes for Safari and Chromium for Chrome. My blog is the testee since there’s guaranteed cache control and jitter.

    Webkit (Safari/Surf/+) > Blink (Chromium/Chrome/+) > Gecko (Firefox/IceCat/+)

    Surf and by extension Safari (or any Webkit–based browser) wins imo. Webkit feels smooth (sneakily, too smooth). It’s probably partly why Safari on macOS/iOS feels so fast. Chrome (not Chromium) is almost on par or so I’ve been told. Not exactly web dev but interesting huh?

    A superficial review of the paper that pulled a monetary deus out of a machine..

    Yes yes, reading is old school and for losers (according to the Internet), but these are the words of cryptocurrency’s based god! Jokes aside, read the first sentence of that abstract.

    The developers of cryptocurrency are smart but has their creation increased/decreased centralization into entrenched financial institutions? Think about it, stably. In my country institutional power has increased, imo.

    The IndieWeb’s is a rather sophisticated syndication philosophy. Too bad I’ve got such a disdain for social media that I’d never explore it personally.

    It’s a good approach for working on other people’s stuff though: think Facebook’s (Meta) instant RSS articles (dies April 2023), podcast feeds, or any other (kinda) bi–directional site syndication mechanism.

    The hypothetical outcomes/incentives of POSSE if it was done by everyone is an entertaining thought experiment.
