So many seeds are planted at DWeb Camp through great conversations.

The “_______, but decentralized” discussion with @brewsterkahle was a highlight from DWeb Camp 2024.

Can’t wait for DWeb Camp 2026! 🌱🌍

In India right now.
A typical weekend means hanging out with friends in the morning and grabbing some spicy Misal Pav (spicy curry topped with crunchy toppings, served with bread).

📁 In v1.0.0-beta.14 you can now:
- Browse your local file:// directories inside PeerSky and publish them straight to IPFS or Hypercore with one click.

The distributed web should feel this easy. 🌍✨

Yesterday my Spotify subscription expired, and instead of renewing, I finally moved on.

But exporting 500+ songs manually is hell, so I built ZipifyTunes; a simple tool that converts any playlist CSV into MP3s with album art + metadata!

Now I’m listening […]

How well do 10B+ local LLM models run on an M4 Mac with 16GB RAM?

The web would be different if he were alive.

A lesson learned from over a decade making general purpose software used by hundreds of millions:

People consider extreme levels of daily pain *absolutely worth enduring* for the features they care about.

They give exactly zero fucks whether their need is "in scope" in your product plan.

we humans normally receive energy through many channels:
sun - plants - food - us

a yogi, however, with certain kriyas can draw energy directly from the sun, this is called prana urja (life energy).

they do not need food at all.

anyways, don’t apply sunscreen.

I’ve disabled my LinkedIn feed — it’s full of boring people.

Everyone wants to be an influencer now:
“I got rejected by 500 companies… now I work at Google! Here’s my course.”

Then they quit and become full-time influencers.

People enroll.
The cycle repeats.

ai shit is getting crazy in the bay area.

it’s unbelievable that “early-stage” ai startups spend so much money on useless things.

with 5k, a non-profit can hire like 3 devs from india on contract and ship rad stuff.

I love the old days.

No streaming platforms. Download movies or music recommended by a friend via BitTorrent.
