Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.

Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.

Fuck good, let’s have perfect.

Bluesky will never be fully decentralized. The DID needs a central authority like DNS. Its architecture is distributed though.

Ideally the DID stuff is put into a foundation, and once the open source the other components anyone who can handle the fire hose can join.

Dr jones naturals is still online.

Rumors are indicating that they want to offer some subscriptions to users(domain registration and hosting of various bluesky components).

The company is currently TINY, under 50 employees. So as long as the infra costs stay low, it won’t take much. If enough users get vanity domains, and they get some govt/enterprise accounts for hosting bsky.cnn.com and such.

So the idea is that they want to get to some ethical monetization strategy before releasing the software to aggregate content is released, and federation is enabled.

They’ve been giving Boeing lots of money too.

Problem with voting red at all is that republicans were trash to begin with.

How else did Trump rise to power?

Pence is being celebrated for going against Trump, meanwhile pence was actively fighting gay marriage while governor of Indiana.

Republicans are a shit stain on modern society.

You are totally ignoring their arguments. Not every place can do wind or solar or hydro. Like it’s simply not an option.

Yeah I’m sure the guy who thinks the holocaust never happened was totally going for peace with jews.

The Apple mouse comes with some weird pads. They’re meant to work OK with a certain amount of friction on a wide variety of surfaces. However as you’ve found they suck on a mouse pad.

Replace the Apple pads with some made from teflon and you’ll be good.

You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.

Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.

Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

Is there a reason for bind mounting and not just configuring the db to point at a different path?

They would have to drive the anchors deep into the ground to have any effect. The types of anchors I’ve seen on these things are little more than tent stakes to keep it stationary.

I think these need to be strapped to concrete barrels to be safe. Or banned if there is any wind over some limit.

I remember. Headlines were great.

Get AOC as speaker of the house.

How does it feel to always be the smartest person in the room?

Excellent would be a stretch. They will be a variation on a Haldex system, and you’d have to look up which variation your particular model has.

I’ve yet to see a haldex type system(the type typical on FWD platforms) consistently outperform Subaru.
