I am all about tech and decentralization. The future of the internet is decentralized. futureinternet.io
Decentralized, Distributed, and Orthogonal systems are full of people with passion and intensity, it’s a complicated fusion. youtu.be/tx4Bhrxzuuw We are all catapulted towards death, our shared work in the wild is our legacy in segmented glances, laced in silver.
🎧🎵🎶🎼☁️🚶🏻♂️Today, I took a walk in the clouds, and in the daylight I could swear we’re the same. But I’m just an ordinary human. Ordinary ways. I’m just an ordinary human, but I don’t feel so ordinary today. There'll be peace in the city tonight, and when I'm gone, I hope they get it right.

It's the summer of Standard.site and overwhelmingly, we've heard folks find the process complicated so Declan Chidlow is here to break the process down into something rather straightforward for you. piccalil.li/blog/publish...

Very excited to share a guest post I wrote for the Hugging Face 🤗 blog! Experimenting with the proposed Cross-Origin Storage API in Transformers.js! 👉 huggingface.co/blog/cross-o... This proposed API has the potential of revolutionizing the Web—a little bit. Learn more: github.com/WICG/cross-o...!

This is such a clearly structured set of #security guidance from @openwebdocs.org ! Intuitive progression through attacks, defence with specific web APIs, threat modelling, and then I'm extra fond of there being a whole section on authentication. openwebdocs.org/content/post...

I've been pondering about having the browser resolve at:// URLs. I have been thinking that we could introduce a DNS-like (maybe DNS itself?) entity that goes from did:plc to URLs, the same way DNS goes from names to IP, and have the browser depend on that similar to how it depends on a DNS server.
devEngines started as @geoffreybooth.bsky.social and I in DMs 2 years ago. It's now supported in @npmjs.bsky.social & @pnpm.io, and later this month will be our recommended way for developers at Netflix to define runtime and package manager versions in their projects. docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/conf...

Nostr layers could fix this. I could imagine a local first relay with signed objects that shotgun on relays and under the hood having a PDS repository as a large collection on a cloud server somewhere.
Its simply too expensive to setup alternatives to the bluesky relay and appview. If there's only a handful of them then it's nearly as easy for a government to block all access, or for a ddos to take out a large portion of the network, etc. then if there was just a single provider.
Sherif EA@sherif.eurosky.social · 4mo agoYesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app. Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users. Let's do this fund.eurosky.tech
I was reading a book today and this reminded me of something. Can you guess what it is? 🧐
Browser Baselines just keep getting better. I would imagine AI is helping the Venn Diagram overlap inch by inch.

Tamper‑proof preservation requires signing real‑world artifacts with cryptographic keys before they reach the cloud. A local‑edge TEE uses hardware attestations and assertion claims to protect history and ensure verifiable timelines in a post‑AI world. a16zcrypto.com/posts/articl...

We can all make a difference. On this day in 1969, a 25‑year‑old grad student quietly drafted a document that would shape ARPANET. He wrote it overnight in a bathroom so he wouldn’t wake anyone. That late‑night effort became one of the early stepping stones toward the modern Internet.
I think it is a bit of a miracle that I have been running my own PDS for roughly ~month and haven't had to maintain it at all ... Feels great to know that everything that I write, follow, etc all goes there ... Good stuff y'all.
