@downey On the other hand, many other package managers are more resilient to this kind of blocking.For example, the Debian software repositories are meant to be mirrored and shared widely. Volunteers around the world share the load to distribute thousands of programs efficiently and in a way that strongly resists censorship.Maybe all Free and Open Source software distribution should look more like Debian's.2/2

@joel You could probably make a license that allows people to distribute the book under the CC0 legal code after a certain amount of time or a certain date.

@markusl Can data connections be completely and consistently blocked from the operating system itself?I know Mobian doesn't allow connections over USB anymore because of possible malicious connections, and instead recommends transferring files via ssh.@lanodan @alcinnz @edd @alienghic @samgai

@Seirdy What if you find conferences that have already been transcribed to be entertaining?

@avalos @be Instead of downloading the whole torrent, the client downloads sections of it and renders it as it downloads.This strategy can also allow you to "seek" through a torrent and download appropriate fragments. See WebTorrent for an example of this. https://webtorrent.ioMost streaming clients I've seen (like PopcornTime) only delete the downloaded file after the application is closed, but I don't see why you couldn't just store a segment of it in storage-constrained situations.

I'm working on an alternative media type for #Gemini. I expect it to be contentious, so I'd like to hear some thoughts on what y'all would like to see in an extension Gemtext.

@vidak Gemini clients are only supposed to make one request per page, so embedded images wouldn't work in any spec-following client.I think Lagrange's approach to inline images in existing Gemtext in as good as we'll get, allowing you to click an image link to load it. It already works pretty well.

@Seirdy @vidak In my opinion, Click-to-load is a great compromise between inline images and external ones, and actually fits fairly well into Gemini.1. As you mention elsewhere, wouldn't compression be a server and client feature? Gemini doesn't forbid sending or decompressing gziped files.2. As for TOFU, I liked the concept of also loading the capsule via Tor alongside the first request to see if the certificates match before adding it to the list of trusted certificates. Could that work?

#introductions 👋 I'm a hobbyist programmer and sysadmin who is passionate about #CooperativeTechnology, #smalltech, and other forms of user empowerment with technology. You may have seen me before.I'm interested in #Gemini and other small internet protocols, along with mobile Linux, real sustainability, and various computer languages (including Rust and Zig).I won't follow too many people here, or engage in politics, but I will share some updates on the things I'm working on.

Do tech companies/coops hire random people just out of high school or in college?There are countless young people with years of experience tinkering with computers and maintaining their own projects, but without real "industry experience" or schooling.

Who wants to do another Mastodon instance with me?I want to make something quiet and comfy that has a somewhat-defined community (inspired by merveilles.town) but also with open registrations. Moderation will be difficult.I have the skills and would like to help out with the increasing load on the network.The exact software is also not yet set in stone.All thoughts welcome.#mastoadmin

Playing with #WASM: http://justjosias.github.io/tetris-collabThis is a #Tetris game a friend and I made over the summer, compiled to the Web via WebAssembly. It's the first game we've made together, and the first major C++ project my friend has built.Feel free to check it out and share your thoughts. 🙂

I might end up writing a custom #PeerTube front end for a client. Thankfully, PeerTube has an extensive API.Wish me luck.Feel free to suggest Web frameworks. Something easy to learn, tolerable, and responsive (desktop and mobile).#webdev

#introductionIt's been a year since my last introduction, and it could use an update!I'm a mutualist programmer who is passionate about making and promoting liberatory technology.This involves projects like #Gemini, #CooperativeTechnology, and the #SmolWeb which can be used to increase technology's legibility.Creatively, I write #SciFi and poetry, dabble in #gamedev, and act in #theatre.I used to be a sysadmin for a Mastodon instance, but recently passed that along for some peace.
