Max-P

Yes but OP took the string representation of the IPv4 and base64’d it, I was addressing that part specifically.

That base64 is so long, and doesn’t need to be. An IP address is 4 bytes so it could be represented as simply 8 hex digits (base64 also expands to 8 due to padding).

Yeah that’s a pretty good point. As a technical user that seems solid but for the average user that makes sense.

Isn’t owning the domain proof enough already?

Nobody else could possibly use max-p.me as their handle, and proving control of the domain is plenty for security sensitive things like LetsEncrypt.

Anyone you’d care to mark verified already brought their own domain.

The bible.

It’s unfortunately been distorted a lot with translations over time, but it was originally a story about morales in a world of greed.

If Jesus came back he would be crucified again for being too “woke”.

The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is the only one I know that does that. Yes Microsoft makes Android devices.

Alternatively, two tablets and a little bit of duct-tape would also achieve a similar result.

Yes, the Android version also lets you exclude apps.

Back in the days we’d get free hosting and slap phpBB on it. Run for kids by kids, no pesky adult rules!

Those were the days. No credit cards needed, no nothing, just free 50MB of Apache/MySQL/PHP4 hosting with no strings attached.

If the fediverse was a thing I’d probably have had my own instance starting age 14-15ish.

I was totally above 13 or had parental consent when I went to forums in the early 2000s. I totally wasn’t actually 9.

It’s wild to me this concept disappeared? It’s literally never been a good idea to reveal you’re a minor online. The laws are against you. Companies don’t want to deal with a curated minor experience, even less so in the current times. If they do, you get the crappier version of things.

The worst thing to happen to the Internet is when Facebook normalized using your real name and real info online.

A lot of those identify as christian because of cultural heritage and because it’s the “not some brown people’s religion” but are non-practicing or straight up non-believers otherwise. Those that do maybe go in the church once a year for the christmas stuff

The churches are packed with mostly tourists and the parking lot is filled with Ontario plates.

You’re just not gonna find many nutjobs like the rest of Canada and the US here. Even my grandparents pretty much just go out of habit from the old times. I haven’t once been in a religious argument in Québec my whole life. It’s basically unavoidable in the US.

The quiet revolution is a fairly interesting piece of history.

A good chunk of them have already been converted into condos and shops. I even hooked up with a guy that lived in one of those.

Christianity died in the 70s in Québec, you won’t find many people under like 40 that still gives a crap about religion in Québec.

It’s still not ideal but you can at least set a charge limit and set it really low like 50% which is about where those batteries degrade the least.

But yeah using a lithium ion battery as a capacitor ain’t great. BMS is just gonna charge it some, let it drain, charge it some, let it drain, repeat over and over again. There’s a reason store phones tend to become spicy pillows so much after a while of being on display always on always running some animation.

This is already what happens when you leave it plugged in to charge overnight, except it uses very little power so the battery only gets topped off a handful of times.

The heat caused by the busy CPU would also be a rather big problem for the battery.

Nope. The protocol is way too public for shadowbanning.

You can be banned by other instances than your home instance, when that happens no new post/comment from you will federate to that instance in particular but the others still sees it as normal.

For example, I could ban you on my instance, and I wouldn’t see anything from you ever again, but my instance would be the only instance to see that ban.

If you get banned from LW or lemmy.ml then a lot of people won’t see you so that could definitely feel like a shadow ban, but there’s nothing shadow about it you can see it in the mod log.

It doesn’t have to be Mastodon or a social platform. It could just be a news/blog kinda deal that happens to support ActivityPub and people can subscribe to it to get it on their feeds.

Making the news and people unable to keep up is part of the strategy.

He’s going to create a crisis and have demands, threaten the tariffs until Canada makes some form of deal, postpone it, and come back with a new crisis, rinse and repeat.

Yeah the best campaigns I’ve seen for the Fediverse were reactionary to something happening on big socials: Lemmy when the API fiasco happened, Mastodon when Elon bought Twitter, recently Pixelfed to replace Instagram, and Loops the last 2 weeks before TikTok was about to get banned.

People don’t change because it’s better, they change because they’re pissed off at their current platform.

Good luck with “exhaustive” because people have different unique reasons to come to the fediverse. It would be a very long list.

For the average user I’d approach it with points that affects everyone:

• We can’t have a Twitter-style take over
• We can’t have a Reddit API disaster
• It’s distributed so while parts of the fediverse come and go, you’ll never lose the platform as a whole.
• It’s distributed geographically so one hostile country can’t silence information from other countries like Facebook and Twitter are doing.
• No algorithms designed to keep you scrolling forever
• No ads or commercial content being pushed by the algorithm
• Loads of choices for instances and moderation style for everyone’s taste.
• Users get to choose how they want to browse and with which apps: you’re not stuck with the latest crappy redesign you hate. You’ll never be forced to have reels and stories in your feed if you don’t want that.
• Not controlled by big corporations like Meta and Google, but rather the community for the community.
• If you have sensitive communities you can own the servers to ensure it’s survival in situations where Facebook would immediately ban that page/group.
• No bullshit AI products shoved in your face like Grok or Reddit Answers.
• You as a user are in control of what you see and don’t see.
• No advertiser friendly content policies forcing you to use stupid words like “unalive”, “pewpew”, “corn” or algorithmic downprioritization because you swore.
• If you prefer to browse Instagram-like, you still get to see Twitter-like post, and you friends can see your photos from a Twitter-like interface. Or you can have a Twitter-like interface and interact with Reddit-like posts on Lemmy.

It’s harder to onboard and figure out by the common people but it would be the final platform switch. You may move instances over time but you will never be left looking for a new platform because the old one enshittified. You just move to an instance that hasn’t, done.

En règle générale l’extrême droite s’approprie toujours des termes qu’ils ne maîtrisent pas, pour d’abord les vider de leur sens, puis les utiliser comme arme pour décrire un ennemi désigné

Exactement. Un peu comme maintenant ils prétendent que le terme “cisgenre” est une insulte.

Ils sont tellement habitués d’utiliser ces termes pour insulter les gens “pas normaux” qu’ils pensent que les autres font la même chose.

Ah t’es progressiste, alors tu dois nécessairement être anti-blancs! Racisme contre les blancs! 🤦T’es avec eux ou contre eux, c’est l’un ou l’autre.

Ces gens paniquent au moment où ils ne se sentent plus en contrôle, alors tout terme le moindrement compliqués, c’est la panique, ce sont les scientifiques qui veulent les arnaquer et leur injecter des puces 5G.

J’ai même vu des républicains sur les réseaux sociaux très vocaux contre les produits chimiques de la pasturization du lait, pour ensuite dire “c’est simple! Il suffit de le faire bouillir avant pour tuer les bactéries!”. Ah bah oué hein, si seulement ça avait un nom ce procédé. Ah oui, la pasturization 🙄

Ils ont cette ambiance de peur et de non-confiance envers tout ce qu’ils ne comprennent pas immédiatement. Si c’est trop compliqué, ça doit nécessairement être un complot secret et ces mots étranges doivent être des instructions codées visant à détruire la population.
