Shall we have some way of freely encrypting the web that is relying on one authority?

Especially something that needed to be renewed every 90 or is it 40 days now. How about issuing 100 years certificates as a default?

keysdevon Giving Up on Element and Matrix.org

And it forces you to have a number.

keysdevon Giving Up on Element and Matrix.org

Ok fair. Did not know that. Just in my personal experience it is better. However like conduite for server , a lightweight http API client can be made. And communicate over https is great for crappy internet over proxy.

keysdevon Giving Up on Element and Matrix.org

https://schildi.chat is better client than Elememt IMHO. That was the whole point of matrix federated. You dont hear ppl complain oh I am going to give up on SMTP cause outlook or fill in the blank sucks. Then make another client or server.

EDIT:

It really sucks that the default implementation is so bloated. But I do not equate matrix with element.

keysdevon Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

This is just mega corporatism in general, which was first pioneered by the Nazi Germany. Now it is just exported to US disguising as capitalism.

US is just following the playbook of IG Farben back in Nazi Time.

keysdevon Overtourism in Japan, and how it hurts small businesses

Its about time we do that. This look online for good local places to go needs to stop. You either live there for some times and discover the place by getting to know the locals or yeah you just do not get to know the place.

But no shoes, no shirt, no service is quite common.

keysdevon Radium Music Editor

Why are you downvoted? I like how we can find past thread about the same topic

keysdevon Show HN: Jukebox – Free, Open Source Group Playlist with Fair Queueing

Seems like your project is using YouTube API to get the songs. Would be good to make that just a plugin then one cam swap for spotify bandcamp etc while data still stays local.

Dont want a nice open source project to just turn into a front end for youtube.

keysdevon Why I left my tech job to work on chronic pain

I highly recommend look at Susan Luschas web site. [1] She is also a former tech person who is doing deep dive into debugging health. Much chronic pain maybe dental and organ related.

And just remember the more HAM you send out to different domains and not SPAM, the better the IP gets overtime. And then BAM you got your own little self hosted poormans mailchimp.

keysdevon Poor Man's Back End-as-a-Service (BaaS), Similar to Firebase/Supabase/Pocketbase

Syncthing pls. Pls try to use open source alternative whenever possible even though they are not as developed as the closed sourced one, it works better for the public.

keysdevon Postcard is now open source

Would be nice to have just send using sendmail or what ever smtp server we chose. This is HN, and some of us have already done ip warming and to avoid any big players, as they all drop/block emails without telling their users and are not be trusted for reliable communication.

keysdevon Brave creates new TLD on the blockchain

Well not if the real web is centralized around a few root zone servers.

TLD is broken, I can see BAT has put a bas taste in our mouth.

Checkout handshake.org its similar to this, but just code

Qubes OS seems more and more attractive.

keysdevon c4wa – C compiler for Web Assembly

> It's really, really difficult to recognize out original logic here. Among other things, whereas our original C code only has 2 local variables, this version has 29, not counting module-level globals.

Isnt that quite common now with machine generated code. Look at nim clientside js, I dear any js dev to try to navigate that.

The point is should we just trust the machine generated as it is and hope that the compiler/bundler just did a correct job, or just write clean and simple code

keysdevon I deleted my second brain

I recently recovered about 3TB of data from over 15 years ago. It was just on a hard drive with a friend that we thought was lost. I dont really miss the data, but oh it was nice to see some old photos and notes!!

keysdevon Learn OCaml

OCaml is like nim, not many ppl knows about, but it is one those tech once over the learning curve it just gives developer an extra edge.

It is a very good alternative to memory safe language such as Rust and Swift. It is just NOT backed by big corporations. Which some might see it as a disadvantage, IMHO it is an advantage. Look at Perl, Linux, Hono all initially made by one guy.

With out a big group, golden handcuffs and corporate politics, things might actually gets done.

keysdevon Mapping LLMs over excel saved my passion for game dev

Use spreadsheet to code reminded me of SPL https://github.com/SPLWare/esProc/wiki/A-programming-languag...

keysdevon Should we design for iffy internet?
