Sure. Centralization could probably be avoided by storing the index in a DHT or something.

As far as I can tell, Fediverse embraces this as a privacy feature. (It's more of a bump than a roadblock, but still.) I'm not aware of any projects to fix this (although I'm not v…

Ain't a dumb question at all! It actually takes reading the ActivityPub specs to answer it, so no surprise if you didn't get it just from reading the landing page ;) The answer is:…

The post was now updated; it mentions that at least three more FB posts with links to joinmastodon.org were marked as spam: https://octodon.social/@yhancik/106897948169079191 Four …

Hi, the author here. Thanks for taking a look at the code! I picked SHA-1 because it was the simplest way to generate pseudorandom data: I knew there's a Rust crate for it which I …

Dual-licensing works for MySQL but it may not work that well for smaller projects that are easier for company to re-implement from scratch. There's a possibility that GPL may be to…

The guy must be damn sure about how cool his projects are, because there's a situation where your project is cool enough for company to use but they won't because of GPL. It would …

When I read that section, it occurred to me that "weak purity" is like monads and "strong purity" is purity as we know it in the FP world. Then drawTriangle() become an action in s…

Oh, I didn't know that — thanks! But yes, to me it looked like I had some fonts wrong or something.
