@alex Neat indeed.

UUID plus vector clocks equals neat x2?

@alex Thanks for doing this!

Not enough to get into? Umbrel has a nostr UI and a nostr relay built in...

Today is the day I started getting follows from Nostr, through the amazing ActivityPub / Nostr bridge made by

@alex Three cheers!

The health and novelty of the Fediverse is many instances partially overlapping (instead of a few big ones, or one giant one). To that end, starting an instance is good for the one-to-few users and good for the Fediverse as a whole.

There is a getting-there app called "Social" that is built into NextCloud, and there are many free / cheap NextCloud providers. This is about the lowest bar I know to staring an instance.

@alex My favorite WebRTC applications are...

file.pizza
sharedrop.io

... and swapping a little text file via these tools is an itty bitty among friends only messaging system.

@alex Taxi companies exert much pressure to curtail ridesharing at airports. It might be no accident that the pickup is in a no-signal area.

Instances in the fediverse come and go for their own reasons or no reasons, for reasons I'd like and reasons I'd not like and mostly for reasons I'll never know and it's not my business.

It seems like there would be a way to see instances come into and go out of existence on a timeline by looking at the existing public data. Maybe that tool already exists.

I am curious which instances are longer-lasting, and if there's a relation between members and duration.

Sometimes in religion you hear of something being condemned. Acts of bias and bigotry, say. But if you point out that those same acts of bias and bigotry happen in the religion of the one who condemns, you learn it's okay when they do it.

It's not condemning an act. It's a claim that some groups are allowed the act (or its forgiveness) and others are not.

The Church of the SubGenius believes every part of every religion, the more contradictory the better.

@eldaking One of the goals of urbit is to write a core system that never changes. Once the central part is done (and they seem close) it will not change again. There will be layers over it, and those layers will change and come and go, but that core will be solid. This will of course have its costs and benefits, just like some of the existing longer-term protocols have costs and benefits for not changing.
