@cwebber My XKCD-style password is so strong you can’t crack it: “undefined reference begin document”

@cwebber I was quite curious LLMs, but I recently had a disappointing experience. I had a common latex problem, but with a more unusual technology stack. It went to “Do this — I get an error — OK do that —…” for a few rounds, nothing surprising. At some point I crossed a line, and it went “OK there’s no way to do what you want with this tech”. As usual, 30 seconds of grepping around in the source code gave me the solution.
Anyway, I wouldn’t trust it for summarize and explore.

@evan @kopper mentioned the async problem; if there’s no external contexts to fetch, then the recieving server can explicitly reject the request if it is incorrect.

@evan @cwebber @kopper @hongminhee Couldn’t we agree to standardize on expanded json-ld? We would not need any json-ld processor, we would not need to fetch or cache any context. There would be no way to shadow properties.

Right now I like the #indieweb #webmentions / #microformats more than #activitypub / #jsonld, because the author chooses which replies appear below their post. I think it would be better if there was an expectation to regularly validate the webmentions (we have HTTP caching for that), and also for #xhtml instead of html. I’m not familiar with the LD markup languages, but maybe there exists something more interoperable than microformats (with proper URIs for properties).

@lxo the meta-paradox of tolerance is: we should not tolerate people using the paradox of tolerance as a justification for being intolerant.

@evan the diversity of web browsers is not great (arguably, it never was). We have basically one company that decides where things are going. Depending on a web browser for everything does not seem like a good idea to me.

@Suiseiseki @civodul “When it comes to free software projects, nobody can possibly know if you are a man or a woman unless you tell them and nobody cares either”
Sometimes the “you tell them” part is triggered if you’re using your real-life name in e-mails. I happen to do that, because managing a separate identity irritates me, and some people do definitely care.

So, given that the official Guix survey presented the lack of nonfree software as a problem, and found that it was a problem, will the maintainers decide to allow non-free software? A little clarification would be most welcome.

@dthompson I was wondering if there was a way to access the linear memory with Hoot. Do you happen to know if it is possible?

@civodul @jas
“guix-daemon --disable-chroot”
This does not spark joy.

@civodul we demand fail2ban-like ddos protection.

@janneke @fsf @nlnet why is there an ext4 partition, if Hurd only supports ext2?

@alex Imagine un web où on pourrait avoir un système d’authentification totalement découplé de Google : https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/tls/
Google : Mmh, on va plutôt faire OpenID-Connect comme ça on pourra tout contrôler. On va supprimer l’élément <keygen /> du HTML5 qui permet de faire ça (p’tite rant : https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2015Sep/0000.html)
Firefox : Oooh, non, pas de chance, Google a dit donc on n’a pas le choix, désolé.

@erincandescent @lanodan About the bare URL things, I asked a similar question to public-solid, and Melvin Carvalho replied to me:

There was actually a system like this about 15 years ago called ripple, I'll see if i can find some links to it.

@evan @hrefna I was talking about the chain between two end-users: client – server – server – client, 2 servers.

@hrefna There’s one server more in ActivityPub than in Solid, because you are supposed to deliver activities to your outbox, as opposed to delivering them directly to your recipient’s inboxes.
