Too fun! https://mmm.page/kicks.condor

Anyone else making a page out there?

These 'going deep' videos also bring to mind 'The Lasangacat Monologue': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh9oLs67Cw (Originally ran across this in HN comments btw)

Also interested in stuff like the 847-page 'please will anyone speak to about anything to me' historical document.

Some other Internet 'lore' rabbitholes:

* SilvaGunner (also: Unregistered HyperCam 2): https://siivagunner.fandom.com/wiki/SiIvaGunner_Wiki

* Pronounciation Book / horse_ebooks: https://77days.fandom.com/wiki/Pronunciation_Book_Conspiracy...

* Cicada 3301: http://www.cicada3301.org

I'm cataloguing some of these here: https://href.cool/Stories/Folkmeme

Interested to hear about other favorites of yours!

Perhaps look here (at the 7:52 mark): https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/matrix_pinecones/

Seems very similar to 'hyp beam': https://github.com/hypercore-protocol/cli

Ok - I see. I suppose I will need to find a way to verify some of these links a bit deeper. Thank you for doing the footwork on this!

Links are checked at least once daily - I do have a few that are recently broken that I need to address - but File.pizza is okay again. I have switched the main link to Wormhole, because it's now my preferred option - and because File.pizza has been up and down for me in the past as well.

Ah neat! I've added all of the links in the comments here to my list - great to see what's out there and to combine our collections.

Some other WebRTC file transfer options:

* https://wormhole.app/ (my recent fave, by creator of WebTorrent, holds for 24h, https://instant.io by same)

* https://file.pizza/ (p2p, nothing stored)

* https://webwormhole.io/ (same, but has a cli)

* https://www.sharedrop.io/ (same, does qr codes)

* https://justbeamit.com/ (same, expires in 10 minutes)

* https://send.vis.ee (hosted version of this code)

* https://send.tresorit.com/ (not p2p, 5 GB limit, encrypted)

I track these tools here: https://href.cool/Web/Participate/

I'm excited by all of the neat hypertext developments we're seeing out there! Like Quotebacks[0] - snippets that are designed to be for all-purpose use rather than dev use.

To me, this is a possible sign that there is momentum back toward general Web blogging and home pages. While native apps have a lot of great tooling these days (like TikTok's "duets" or Snapchat filters), the Web excels at markup and embedding - and it's great to see tools that play to that strength.

This mindset is closer to those who keep personal wikis in public - not simply broadcasting updates to an audience, but writing and working in public. It gets even better when conversations start to emerge with others who are also blogging this way. You can start to do longform group messaging that is open-ended - anyone can join in if they want.

So I use Figma exclusive as... a chat client! I don't think I can go back to normal chat.

These changes mean no more free chats. But it's probably time for me to pony up anyway.

What I'd really like to see is a discussion of how Bitcoin energy use compares with the current banking system. Many people criticize Bitcoin in a vacuum - so it's easy to get behind those arguments.

But I'd rather talk about whether or not Bitcoin is worthwhile progress or not. The current banking system might not be as wasteful from an energy usage perspective - but might have other environmental costs - plastic, paper printing, transportation costs. How do those compare?

And is Bitcoin progress - in the sense that it eliminates the state from printing and controlling the currency? If not, then what would progress look like?

A bit - mostly Sinatra and Grape tho.

Migration seems like it might be tough. The ORM (Avram) is missing some things still. (Like I think - tables without primary keys, seems like 'has many through' needs some work, stuff like that.) My API is quite simple.

I'm new to Crystal - have been using it the past three months on a new web API. (I'm using the Lucky framework - https://luckyframework.org/)

It's fantastic. I can think in it. Thank you to all the devs behind this wonderful language!

I think it's also a lot more interesting that cracking teams usually had an artist.

There was also Wai-rez.

You really have the pick the pronunciation for the occasion with this one.

If you can export them to OPML, then you can import them into Fraidycat. (The 'gear' icon in the upper-right corner will take you to the Settings page, where you can import and export OPML.)

It's a virus, carefully placed at the center of their maze.

Oh Simon Griffee - ofc. Love your stuff.

Everyone check out https://www.simongriffee.com/ - my fave is the photo section. Your blog is great as well.

If you want to send me a color palette, I'd love to try this! kicks at kickscondor doot com

It's not possible at the moment. I used to serve the pages directly from the extension - however, this causes the feed fetcher and the web page to run in the same thread - so the UI gets sluggish.

I moved the web page into a 'content script' - meaning injecting it into a normal web page - and that solved the problem.

Fraidycat 2 will allow 'localhost' access. (Later this year.)

Very kind, flanbiscuit. :) Here's some links that I adore:

https://unimaginable-heights.neocities.org (best home page of the moment)

http://weiweihsu.com (my collaborator - check out her 'comic logs')

https://sphygm.us (amaaaazing personal tiddlywiki)

Importance is organizational and just hints three things:

* Which feeds are fetched first.

* Which feeds are hidden from view. (Only 'real-time' is show on the first view.)

* The tab for each tag will be colored according to the status of 'Real-time' follows.

Importance is not a fixed number. It acts as a gradient: https://twitter.com/glitchyowl/status/1285757728049094656

Fortunately it's a very small feature and can be ignored. To other users, it is a crucial feature - and establishes the mindset of how to think about your follows. (That you can follow hundreds or thousands of people and move some into the background - to check on a much less frequent basis.)

Really appreciate the question, nsilvestri, and that you've made your own good use of Fraidycat.

I've only posted some screenshots of interface improvements:

In a nutshell, I moved away from Electron (which was a quick prototype anyway) and have built a local service with uWebSockets.js and a systray icon.

Unfortunately for Fraidycat, I had an opportunity to collaborate with someone that I'd really been wanting to work with - so we've spent the last four months working on a blogging tool that's supposed to pair well with Fraidycat.

But I will be back to Fraidycat in the next few months to finish. I appreciate your curiosity very much!

Yep - working on a project called Multiverse, about to come out. Thanks for asking. :relaxed:

If you want a peek, our day-to-day diary is here: https://futureland.tv/glitchyowl/multiverse-diary

I'm sorry about this. I really need to improve this situation. Let me see what I can do today.

Aside from RSS, Atom, Twtxt, JSON Feed and TiddlyWiki:

- Bandcamp - DeviantArt - Facebook (public users) - Github - Instagram - Kickstarter - Patreon - Pinterest - Reddit - Soundcloud - Tumblr - TikTok - Twitch - Twitter - Vimeo - YouTube

Some other smaller sites are also described in the definition file: https://fraidyc.at/defs/social.json

Very much agree, Maxwell.

Worked on this fork of elasticlunr.js for that purpose: https://github.com/kickscondor/elasticlunr.js
