Seeing Coinbase launch its x402 project motivated me to open source a similar proof of concept I did 7 years ago (wow I’m old) based on @nanocurrency.bsky.social called Four Oh Two.
Please don’t judge my 7 year old code too harshly!

If you’re not physically in a place, like say, a social network, can violence be done to you in that place?

Taking my MacBook in to have a fan repaired finally got me to setup Time Machine backups to a Linux server.
Here is the guide that actually worked, if you ever need to do the same.

AI Deterrence
Much has been written about the potential upsides and downsides of AI, how it may shape our future, and what we should do about it. Most of these takes are at one end of the spectrum or the other. AI will either doom us all or save us all, but a middle ground does exist. The answer is not in regulating or slowing it down. From an American perspective, our rivals will make no such concessions.

Trying to finish Out of the Crisis by Deming on this 10 hour flight to Atlanta.
Very relevant today.

Microservices vs monoliths doesn't matter. Write modular code, abstract away services into reusable components, and combine them into one or more artifacts based on your needs.

Lots of growth these past few days!
Building an open-source network in public is both fun and challenging. Our small team is scrambling to finish long-planned moderation tooling like blocks, and set up our federation sandbox. In the meantime, we’ve made some changes to improve the experience:

Ya’ll followed me, so I’m sorry when I post something that offends you.
I’m never certain about the things I post, I just fire them off, so if you disagree, I’d love to hear it.
I tend to be direct, but I try to be kind.
Let’s make each other’s ideas better.
