Interesting idea, but the logging aspect still leaves it up to the shard holder to perform.
This essentially reduces counting to a promise.

They browse the web, do their banking, and share photos on SM after checking their mail and searching for Tiramisu recipes.
The existential threat to themselves is low, so they don’t dig further into the ramifications. Journalists, whistleblowers, activists, “undesirables”, those are the primary concerned parties.
The civic cybersecurity aspect needs to lay out a clear benefit to free speech and oppression which makes tangible sense to day to day life. I’m not quite sure how to spread this level of awareness, or highlight the importance of such measures in a way that hits home.
Even RISC-V based switches like the Vega use proprietary switch chips (Wuhan China designed FSL91030M specifically), which is no better.
You can verify input/output to a certain extent, but this doesn’t preclude a timer based function call or a tailored packet activation.
I wonder why our society tolerates these unknowns. With the push towards WiFi replacing the majority of home networking, I’m not confident it will change any day soon.
It’s probably a self-confidence thing, but so are most of the funny names in the article.
I should probably just focus on step one once I decide the end result is valuable.
The point is that you don’t need to pay if you’re hosting a github pages pwa. The backend costs are shared.
There’s a reason Apple got into the credit card business, the extra a fee for every transaction model has been their core for a very long time, it was natural.
The biggest questions were widgets and audio issues. Apps they couldn’t find etc. I’m not advocating for Apple, but their system does have a few advantages that open source projects could take cues from.
Beyond your time investment, which platforms costs more than $0?
Want copy paste? It’s consistent across the whole system because you have one choice. You don’t have to guess how the pop up is going to work beyond context. Other more open platforms get messy and fragmented hoping the developer chose a good implementation.
Want encrypted messaging? Easy, just talk to other iPhones. Want less infection risk? Live in Apple’s walled garden. I get less calls from grandparents asking for iOS assistance than Android, the interface is more intuitively laid out.
Have years of apps purchased with no way to transfer without paying again? You’re probably not switching.
Great! That’s so much cheaper than the 0% you can get on other platforms.
This used to be acceptable when Apple was innovating and providing extra value, today it doesn’t fly.
PWAs are the alternative App Store we need, not a just a bandaid.
PWAs or nothing.
The problem isn’t the human nature, it’s the ease of accessibility to the quick superficial info. You can feel like an expert for a few minutes, then forget a topic and never use it.
Before computing existed, boredom was a driver for creative pursuits. Now boredom is an anxiety sink because we lose the urge to “play” creatively. The issues start with children and continue into adulthood. Boredom is good, it squeezes new ideas out with pressure. As it stands now, the pressure is constantly pushing ideas back in, no internal thought stands a chance.
There are mathematicians opposed to hearing new theories before they contemplate them personally, so as not to be influenced. It’s easy to think in terms of some else’s structure, and I believe that society is moving there on the whole.
These internet behemoths love the profits the eyeballs bring, but long term I envision a far less creative populace.
Thanks for the work on BrowserBox, I’m going to give it a run.
Doom-scrolling and time wasting are aftershocks of a consumer driven technology.
If this were a divorce, Redis would be paying alimony.
The only solution is to scope security relevant functions and add a multi stage formal verification process before freezing the commits. This assumes no collusion.
The kernel devs are wasting time writing one offs for every vendor known to man, and it ships to desktops too.
For the average GitHub user, it adds a lot of complexity for undetermined benefit. It basically ensures your repositories can’t get pulled if someone at Microsoft doesn’t like what you’re doing.
I thought it was just a luxury feel good investment, but the longer I run without errors, the more real the problem seems.
The larger the memory capacity, the higher the probability of bit flips, so that likely plays a role.
If there is any quantum effect either used directly or measured within our brains, it might provide a speed advantage.
Google came along and made finding these websites much more convenient and accessible. Along the way Microsoft IE began using monopoly advantage to make the web in Microsoft’s image. It was a clunky unstandardized mess for many years as only Microsoft could officially push a standard. You could build for Netscape/Firefox, but you would be breaking 90% of your users due to undocumented and tailored code.
Now Google has the market share. The standards are much more aligned amongst the major players, and it would be a stretch to call it a monopoly. That’s the goal.
Google unofficially pushes the new browsers standards towards Google’s image, just as Microsoft had before. Just look at Chrome extensions for an example. It’s not a coincidence ad blockers are becoming weakling in the name of “security”.
Apple has their entrenched user base, solidifying with every iOS app unavailable to other ecosystems. Compound the issue when people have paid real money for useful apps that they don’t wish to sink the cost for.
It’s better than before, but companies will never have your best interests at heart. Profit is incentivized first, then product (including you).
A decentralized web is possible, we have the technology. There is no reason a static site server couldn’t be implemented with a proxy hiding feature, even using IPFS potentially. Large plates can still cache and serve data to get paid, but your data doesn’t have to be centralized.
Moreover, serving up a web server from your local machine could be as easy as opening a custom pinned tabbed and sharing it out. CRDTs and homomorophic tech open worlds of possibility with secure p2p applications at scale.
But this is not what a cloud provider wants. It is not the direction we are heading. We are trained to be paranoid (rightful so unfortunately), and cloud providers tout themselves as the panacea. In some ways they are, but at what cost?
We no longer trust the user to have a direct connection. All of your services should be on the cloud if you’re “enterprise” enough, and you’ll pay for it accordingly.
What I want to see: Governments recognize that the internet is a public utility at this point, and reduce the roadblocks to hosting your own data. Allow all GUA IPv6 addresses to be static if requested. Don’t allow carriers to give special preference to business accounts vs personal for static assignment. There is no technical reason for this if a customer requests it. We’re not running out of IPv6 addresses.
This fixes the STUN/TURN debacle created by NAT, and opens up the field for new possibilities. It also allows for real decentralized competition with cloud providers.
It used to be that I got excited about the random blog posts I could find. Simple HTML sites from interesting people, which I mostly get on Hacker News now. Search engines filled with ads and SEO/AI garbage only exist because of the profit structure and centralized control.
With ID verification a certainty due to AI advances, we’re going to be even more locked into these monopolistic systems. We need competition, and as long as they hold the search screen, we’re only going to move towards higher profits for them. Yet something tells me our governments have something to do with it. Data collection isn’t just profitable, it’s potent.
