I first showed up here while experimenting with decentralised/distributed social media software.

A few real-life friends are starting to show up now, though. Hmm.

AKA @FenTiger on the Fediverse, or Wrongfellow in a few other places.

The self-verifying property gives you a lot of flexibility in how you answer those questions, though. It's possible to answer them in a lot of different ways without breaking the overall system. So you can start with something basic and extend it later - just like Bluesky are trying to do ;)

I take it I won't get the credit if I don't proceed?

"Locations of unlicensed beavers in England"?

I'm not sure I want to know.

Is this why dogs shed so much hair?

"But yet so far" because the remaining gap might be quite small, but I think it'll still take some engineering effort to cross.

Well, not really; I've been thinking this way for a while, but it was @zicklag.dev's article which prompted me to actually write this up and post it.

Lies! You shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, you know.

Now I'm wondering what nanoblogging would look like.

Mostly it's for load balancing, but once in a while we have to take one out of service for a hairstyle upgrade.

It took me a while to figure out that the DID document and the PLC operation format aren't actually the same ... they look very similar at first, and maybe the docs don't quite emphasise the distinction enough!

That's just the view that pdsls shows you.

plc.directory/did:plc:5w4e... shows the raw DID document.

And when Merkle squirrels bury Merkle acorns ... they'll be able to search for them ;)
