For real we should ditch wallets and password managers and OAuth and instead use public keys + ActivityPub Actors + HTTP Signing. Though I guess it puts a lot of trust into the DNS layer?

Anyone got an API endpoint of the "most blocked instances" handy? I wanna add it to the initialization flow for the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox

Ideally it'd be nice to say "Here's the top 100 most hated instances so you can preemptively block them if you'd like". It's not perfect but I think this would make it easier for small publishers to get started.

I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

@simon Any clue why your #LLM tool with gpt4all's ggml-replit-code-v1-3b would perform worse than this replicate demo?

Is there a need to tweak the parameters for the model somewhere maybe?

It'd be cool if one could open an EventSource on an OrderedCollection to subscribe for changes in a user's outbox, This could be used as a basis for real time chats and games.

Probably needs to be on top of HTTP2/3 to handle more subscriptions over a single connection.

Maybe even with a Triple Pattern Fragments querystring to filter by Activity type/author/cc/etc?

I believe Skibidi Toilet's success is due to it fully embracing the "tiktok/youtube shorts" format while being episodic storytelling which can interleve with the algorithm. Kids are into it because it is art that is on the cutting edge of media formats. The fact that it is silly and the actual story is honestly secondary. Though maybe I will appreciate the store more as I get deeper into the lore?

Super excited that our new #ActivityPub implementation, the #DistributedPress #SocialInbox has got it's official announcement out! If you want to add #P2P or #Fediverse support to your existing site, do hit us up! :)

Here's my thoughts on how we can replace the web browser web with a data web and how this Reddit Migration thing is a great start. (thread)

Thinking of names for a new app that loads data from anywhere.

So far thinking #SemHog as in "Semantic hog which eats all your data and rolls around in the mud and you give it belly pats to search through stuff".

Also sounds a bit like "send hog".

Tee hee, just added blocklist importing to the #SocialInbox using Mastodon's blocklist format :P

Published a blog about the new Social Inbox tool we've made at #DistributedPress which makes it easy to add #ActivityPub to your static websites.

Personally when it comes to open federated standards I ultimately only care how many compatible implementations are out there.

Gonna make a new shell / terminal emulator that behaves more like graphical text interfaces. Kinda tired of having to rewire my muscle memory between the terminal and GUIs. I want ctrl+z to do an undo when I'm typing text instead of whatever arcane shortcut bash uses.

As part of this experiment I will try to rely on a local #LLM called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B instead of duckduckgo as much as is practical. Though I think I need to tune it with the repos I usually refer to for code.

Hey folks! Distributed.Press is venturing into the world of federated social and are working on our moderation tools. Specifically this will be on getting #WebMentions into #p2p published blogs.

What sorts of tools do you wish you had for making #moderation easier? I'll document some of the ones we're already planning in this thread too.

Boosts and shares appreciated.

We've got a new #ActivityPub implementation that'll be released in early September in #DistributedPress!

Instead of fancy frontends and databases, we're focusing on enabling statically published sites to add AP support via a lightweight Social Inbox server that they can register using standard HTTP Signed Messages.

Just looked at a house in a recently developed auburban zone. Absolute nightmare. All those trees torn down for rows and rows of identical gray houses with nothing to walk to but a copy psted childrens park with again zero trees. All with like 20 mins drive to anything with humanity.

Hey! Any #Ottawa peeps on here I could follow?

While some folks are trying to move towards "Lets put everything into WASM and WebGPU" I wish more folks would move towards "Lets put everything into standard data formats and let users bring their UI to the data more easily".

Ugh. I wish things that required #2FA authenticator apps were required to support having multiple apps. I've been using KeySmith on KDE and I have no way to reuse my data on a second device. 🙃

Heads up to any #NodeJS and #JavaScript developers out there: If you aren't already you should be using the Node Version Manager utility since a lot of projects need either an older or newer version of node and you'll have a bad time if you only use the system installed version.

nvm use 16 saved me hours of debugging why Splunk's build tools weren't working recently :P

Jumpscared myself by remembering americans use yards/inches/feet for measurement and they aren't just clean multiples of 100 between units. 💀💀💀

Having tested a bunch of #OpenSource #LLM projects, I gotta say that OpenHermes 2.5 is the most helpful out of the ones I can run locally.

I recently wasted a bunch of time getting Phi-2 to do some summarization work, and it just couldn't stay focused for more than a sentence or two.

You know I'm kinda hard on Thunderbird, but so far it's been way more stable (and memory efficient) than Evolution and KOrganizer which is what I used before.

Gonna be presenting a demo of teaching local a #llm to search wikipedia with "Function Calling"
