Apparently you haven't fired Cloudflare, since this website forces me to go through a captcha in order to read (and I'm not even using a VPN or Tor).

That one specifically fails catastrophically for me.

A federation of forges makes no sense if everything gets centralized again in the hands of the people operating Tangled (sure, someone else could run an alternative AppView, but th…

Sorry, but this analogy is very misleading, no one browses websites through Google's servers. For example, right now in my URL bar I read "news.ycombinator.com", not "google.com/pr…

X is bigger than ATProto and wasn't included either?

It's quite simple: - You publish to, say, 3 relays. - I follow you or want to browse your content for any reason. - I connect to your 3 relays and fetch your content. If I want to …

Unfortunately this paper doesn't live up to its goal of being a cheap attack on Nostr. The fact is that clients do verify signatures from events received from servers, that is in t…

There is no blockchain, only basic cryptographic signatures on each message. And users are not tied to any servers, they can read from multiple or write to multiple. They can (loca…

Yes, that makes sense and that can be used later by relays and clients in order to decide whether to store or display notes from identities. In fact that's a pretty good idea.

You only read from the relays you want, relays have all the tools in the world to reject spam, therefore the solution is just to have clients that help the user enforce selecting o…

This is cool but P2P doesn't work. Iroh also relies on "relays" in a sense. Nostr makes that explicit and gives relays identities so they can freely enact policies instead of havin…

That's a misconception: you don't "use" relays (in the sense that you don't have to have a static list of relays you always use), you write to relays. When reading you connect to t…

Thank you very much!

I see, I was under the impression that Carbon encompassed sales and factory floor too. Now it makes more sense. Thanks!

A stupid question from a layman: is it really how people do it? I would have thought "manufacturing" was too generic and that you would need different software for each industry an…

This is too funny to be true.

ahahah, I've said the same thing about how I used AI recently. The "hate fuel" part is really true.
