Curtis Yarvin wrote an actually funny article on how he almost invented Bitcoin and React in 2000. graymirror.substack.com/p/us-6073525...

The latest interview up at the Protocol Oral History Project is a @bsky.app hometown hero: Protocol Engineer @bnewbold.net. I'm so grateful for his time and care in sharing his experience building the foundation for not only this app but many more: protocol.ecologies.info/interviews/n...

Testing to see if this post will show up in my following feed, since it seems to have been vanished.

Justin ported anproto.com to python! 🎉🐍🎉 Check out the Github here: github.com/macauleyjust...

Well, chat did something with ssb. investigating. the llm came up with the name `ssb-modern`

I want my Machines to have more Loving Grace and do less All Watched Over

red dwarf now supports full text search using @mackuba.eu 's lycan tangled.org/@mackuba.eu/...

Embrace pronoia, which is the opposite of paranoia. Choose to believe that the entire universe is conspiring behind your back to make you a success. For more advice see my book Excellent Advice for Living amzn.to/3mQL4c4 #excellentadvice

asking chat to fix ssb and make it run over anproto just to see if it can. it's still thinking ...

wttr has dark mode now

I made a very simple anproto.com + htmx + fetch API retro twitter clone with the help of GPT5. Try it: wttr.evbogue.deno.net

Anyone have strong opinions about paying for ChatGPT's plus/business/premium?

new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10. in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time. via @dmbrown-tboy.bsky.social:

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I tried switching to Cursor from my usual ChatGPT copy/paste flow last night -- It mangled my codebase and then demanded I pay for premium.

congrats!

Who needs MCP? I have the Clipboard Protocol.

Reportedly this event happened Oct 7, but we're just seeing the video now.

andfs.evbogue.deno.net this example is begging for a networking strategy, but otherwise qualifies as a cheap torrent/ipfs knockoff. repo: github.com/evbogue/andfs

Responsibility for posts needs to be offshored to the network graph. The product department should not be taking responsibility for the crap people post. Delete the delete button, let the posts live with the users. "you don't like that post? why did you replicate it then."

This must be a sign

For anyone who needs to catch up on what's going on here.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

I said there would never be an htmx 3.0 but I never said anything about an htmx 4.0 htmx.org/essays/the-f...

Option 5. "TypeScript is the worst timeline."? "Only Severed workers write TypeScript?" calling all creative answers. 🌋

Just watch the last 15 minutes of this podcast, the rest of it is just boring Elon rehashing Elon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4wB...

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

andfs! ? !

do i really need to reinvent ipfs?

claude makes me more productive because I look at its output and then I'm like "damn this sucks, I guess I gotta write it myself"

ok @shreyanjain.net so lemme tell you. atproto is kinda broken since jay wanted mutable data in a distributed system which defies the laws of physics. so i'm picking up the pieces of ssb over here -- NOW POWERED BY AI -- so basically there's no reason for people to run back to mastodon just yet

sorry Omarchy, I'm downloading Debian 13. Please don't take this the wrong way.

fell asleep and thought about what i'd call my blobs getting chunked and hashed thing. "another distributed file system." andfs. think of the marketing materials! anproto uses andfs to store large files! want to send them somewhere? bring your own networking infra!

Bluesky hits 40 million users, introduces ‘dislikes’ beta

This is why with anproto I tried to focus on the proto and not try to build the entire system ... yet. Mostly because I don't want it to die or be corrupted.

I formally submit my application for the role of CEO of #HTMX @htmx.bsky.social @htmx.org 🤷

chat says it's ok with mycelium-dag but not merkle-grass. but apparently there is not a common term for an array of hashes

Writing a merkle thing where the chunks are hashed into a flat array. Is that Merkle-Grass?

ebdb. i guess epidemicblockchained database? it may seem to just sound cool and yesterday's buzzwordsy but might actually work as described ... ? but probably with very little documentation

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

ok! Scuttlebot was an open source peer-to-peer log store used as a database, identity provider, and messaging system. It featured global replication, file-synchronization, and end-to-end encryption. The original documentation by @pfrazee.com + @dominictarr.bsky.social is still here: scuttlebot.io

I tracked down and fixed the duplicate messages issue on Wiredove! It turns out somewhere the trailing equals on the anproto signatures were being stripped and since we hash the signatures this created two message records. Enjoy, a duplicate free environment:

so if there’s secure scuttlebutt, where’s insecure scuttlebutt!?

NEW: First TV ad of the cycle in #IL09 is from Kat Abughazaleh, centered around ICE’s activities in Chicago Here it is 👇🏼👇🏼

I can't believe he's actually knocking over the White House

Like, your original post is actually the best argument I can think of regarding how centralized today's atmosphere really is
