it really feels like I spend a few hours every day trying to will myself into doing what other people want. I suppose everyone has that to an extent. It’s just really hard to do things that I know are stupid, when there are other more important things to do. Really winds me up.
Why it’s bad to have a high GDP
Why it’s bad to have a high GDPby Luke Smith, originally a blog post in November 2018, rewritten for this website.
To put it in other words…The common way of looking at Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is that it’s a metric of economic success: more GDP is more wealth.
Wealth is good. “Poverty” (meaning low per capita GDP) is bad.
Nowadays, pretty much everyone talks about “economics” like this as if this truism was scribbled on the … ⌘ Read more

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)
The Visitor The coming of a person is, in fact, a tremendous feat. Because he comes with his past and present and with his future. Because a person’s whole life comes with him. Since it is so easily broken the heart that comes along would have been broken ― a heart whose layers the wind will likely be able to trace, if my heart could mimic that wind it can become a hospitable place.

That is why we like noise and activity so much. That is why imprisonment is such a horrific punishment. That is why the pleasure of being alone is incomprehensible. That is, in fact, the main joy of the condition of kingship, because people are constantly trying to amuse kings and provide them with all sorts of distraction.—The king is surrounded by people whose only thought is to entertain him and prevent him from thinking about himself. King though he may be, he is unhappy if he thinks about it All problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone (2014) | Hacker News

@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.

My relationship to compliments in those days was simple: I didn’t give any and I didn’t receive any either. Talking openly about feelings - or heaven forbid - giving praise - simply wasn’t the norm.

Being misunderstood is a great temporary moat. I could write a book on this, but suffice it to say, I didn’t have confidence in my own vision until I took the time to really look at others and realized that the main difference between me and the average idiot was that I had bothered to look at the ideas of other idiots at all. It was like their entire ontology had become an ant farm. It was the moment I realized, I am a super-idiot. I only half joke, because becoming a super-idiot liberated me from the perfectionism and the addiction to approval that caused a stultifying and primal narcissistic fear of criticism.

Somebody apparently once went up the the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said “What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked every morning at what’s going on behind me now, the dawn, and to have thought that what they were seeing was the sun going around the Earth, when as every schoolkid knows the Earth goes around the sun and it doesn’t take too many brains to understand that.” To which Wittgenstein replied, “Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth.” Point being, of course, is that it would have looked exactly the same. swans on tea » You See What Your Knowledge Tells You You’re Seeing

Anyone here good with Go and feel like helping me build our a "Direct Messages" feature?

Can we not have clients sign their own public keys before listing them on their Pod’s account?
Yeah.. we probably could. when they setup an account they create a master key that signs any subsequent keys. or chain of signatures like keybase does.

@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..
I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.

New website
Got a new simplified website. Real old school, no CSS sheet. I’m going to make it more text-based and have more writings.
I’ve also rolled over this RSS feed.
A lot of the site is still unfinished, so notify my of anything I’ve missed so far.
I want to keep old links more or less in place. I haven’t decided if I want to keep using my old blog script (this entry is RSS only).
I feel like I had neglected the blog for a while, and my new site is more conducive to browsing as I add even more. ⌘ Read more

That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net this is a go version of Keyoxide.org that runs all server side. which is based on work from https://metacode.biz/openpgp/
OpenPGP has a part of the self signature reserved for notatinal data. which is basically a bunch of key/values.
this site tries to emulate the identity proofs of keybase but in a more decentralized/federation way.
my next steps are to have this project host WKD keys which is kinda like a self hosting of your pgp key that are also discoverable with http requests.
then to add a new notation for following other keys. where you can do a kind of web of trust.

There is likely no media that has not been altered by coronavirus. This is a perfectly clear and convincing argument for living text. Horvath had no intention of this sentence being haunting to the reader because she could not have predicted that the reader would be in the middle of a years long pandemic. The authors intention counts for less than half of the book\s ultimate meaning.
