Found a cool thing: a scrabble game that is statically generated, and the game state can be shared by url.
Here's the link to a new game: https://words.pico.games/
For an example, here's the link to a game I've been playing with a friend to test it out: https://words.pico.games/#Ky8dbyAsMFkYGyQ8TWtdFw5HIkBgLEpZKAplOSseJUx3IQUbFEUvSFMJDzhUS0c8QzthBQcgQREXQlICEBYSJw==

Tested both on an old Chromebook a couple of months ago, Start9 worked no problem, Umbrel struggled. Not the ideal hardware, but I think it's telling that Start9 was able to work well on a virtual machine within the Debian virtual machine the chromebook provides. Whatever they are doing, it's more optimized.

Sweet! How do I get the block and mute events to show up in my feed on Amethyst? Guessing there's a setting I'm overlooking.

I know Amethyst has the thing were if a certain number of accounts you follow block an account the account is hidden for you. The thing I'm talking about is if I block someone, it gets posted to my timeline that I blocked x. Does Amethyst do that as well? Don't think I've ever seen a post like that.

2024-04-27 07:00:33

One of the thing I really appreciate about SSB is that block events are publicaly posted by all clients (at least all the ones I've tested). It makes blocking a communal act: see someone you trust block an account, give the account a look, and perhaps block it as well.
More important to block there since each account takes up storage on your device, but would be nice if clients did that here for blocks and mutes. The trolls can go play with the people that can stand them, and micro communities can form free from trolls and spammers.
I haven't checked, but does #nos do this @npub1wmr…g240?

Some new ground for me in my mending attempts. Up to now it's all been woven material, but this pair of athletic shorts had a seam come undone, and figured no better time than now for trying out the herringbone stitch (the one you're supposed to use for knits and stretchy material).
Stitches are not even, but seem like they will hold, and they stretch beautifully. I also love the contrast between unbleached linen thread and synthetic material.

Been using it for the last six months, incredibly good compared to other search engines. Also a huge fan of Teclis, which seems to be the hobby project of the founder of Kagi. If a website gets more than 5 blocked request by uBlock, it's not included in the index, so it's a nice way to search for sites made by hobbyists.

The camera is a Canon G10, at this point a 16 year old camera:
https://m.primal.net/HouP.jpg
In my overall move towards treating my phone as a redundancy, I started carrying around my Sony a6400 for taking pictures. But it's so precise and expensive, and a little too large, so I didn't use it often.
Found this used G10 for cheap, much lighter, smaller, and I don't care if it gets lost or broken.
Still need to figure out all the options and everything. The top picture was one of my tests, while I like how the colors came out, sharpness is lacking. Will need to play around with it some more.

# Continued Adventures in Archiving
## SingleFile
After trying out a huge number of archiving tools for webpages, have finally landed on one I like. SingleFile is a browser extension, it archives the webpage exactly as you see it, and generates a single html file. The file is a little bloated compared to what other tools will generate, but it will look exactly like what you originally viewed, and it is responsive to different screen sizes (at least that's what I've found in my tests).
If you want to explore further, here's their Github: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

Just read a cool essay by Ploum, nothing earth-shattering, but I loved these lines in particular:
> The world we are living in is that same chess game on the easiest setting. Everything happens immediately, all the time. White-collar work can now be summarised as trying to reply as fast as possible to every single email until calling it a day and starting again in the morning, a process which essentially prevents any deep thinking, as pointed by Cal Newport in his book "A world without email".
> As we don’t have the time to think anymore, we masquerade our lack of ideas with behavioural tricks. **We replaced documents with PowerPoints because it allowed lack of structure and emptiness to look professional** (just copy paste the data of the last PowerPoint you received in a text file and see by yourself how pitiful it is. PowerPoint communications at NASA were even diagnosed by Edward R. Tufte, author of the "The cognitive style of PowerPoint", as one of the causes that led to Space Shuttle Columbia’s disaster).
> The root problem is that, for the first time in human history, our brain is the bottleneck. For all history, transmitting information was slow. Brains were fasts. After sending a letter, we had days or months to think before receiving an answer. Erasmus wrote his famous "Éloge de la folie" in several days while travelling in Europe. He would never have done it in a couple of hours in a plane while the small screen in the backseat would show him advertisements.
> In 2012, the French writer Thierry Crouzet had one of the first recorded "online burnout". Being connected all the time with interesting strangers and interesting ideas to which he wanted to reply quickly was too much for his brain. One night, he had a strong panic attack and decided to spend six months without the Internet, an experience he told in his book "J’ai débranché".
I also love that in just a few paragraphs, got like 3 things to add to my reading list.

A nice and simple thing to share: my cat Heloise is stealing the show, but I'm really excited about my new 100% wool socks!
Took me a while to find someone who makes size 14. I've been trying to make as much as possible of my wardrobe myself, but decided to go with someone who knew what they were doing for socks, don't trust my knitting skills that much.
So far they are amazing, fit perfectly, not too warm, and made of worsted weight yarn, so I should be able to repair them no problem.

# LogGit
## Using Git to distribute digital media.
Right off the bat I want to set expectations: I know almost nothing about programming or dev work, all I can really do is html, and if I want to make myself hate the world, I can do some css. So essentially I format documents. That said, I love offline-first, p2p, smallnet, and all that good stuff.
So when I saw Solderpunk's article on using Git for p2p distribution (https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/low-budget-p2p-content-distribution-with-git.gmi) and then saw Degauss's project gwit (https://sr.ht/~ivilata/gwit/) that was inspired by it, I wanted to help. But I quickly realized there wasn't much I could do to help build out gwit, quick look at what Degauss was doing, and realized it was above my head.
Decided to go in a different direction, lean on my strengths as an artist, and just give the idea (of using Git to publish stuff) a name and an image.
Started with the name, after a few different iterations, settled on LogGit. Wanted the name to express the intention of using 'Git' as a 'log' to track changes to files over time, thus allowing for changeable content.
Then the image, drew inspiration from the Git logo, but kept it simple and small (32x32 pixels):
And then the idea: use Git to distribute stuff.
For anyone who is comfortable with computers and has some basic understanding of Git, we can start doing this now.
I'm testing out the idea in my free time, using a Git gui on my computer, and cloning static sites whose author's have made their Git repo public (many thanks to 100r.com and j3s.sh to making their repos easy to find). I also added the LogGit image and the link to clone from the public repo for my personal site and a few other projects I work on.
Cool thing I've found already, is that rss is no longer needed, whenever a change gets made to a site, I can pull the changes, look in the Git history, and see what was added or deleted.
What I like about this, is that nothing needs to be built, nothing major needs to change, just need to publish a link to clone the repo.
I also like that you can use the infrastructure of the enemy to publish.
Go ahead and host the repo on Github or any other major git forge, can typically do it for free, but the original always remains on your device, and you can move it elsewhere whenever you want, and leave your new location as your last commit. Next level would be to self-host it on a Forgejo/Gitea/whatever instance, or what I haven't tried out yet (but plan to soon) is host it yourself on Tor and keep things really sneaky.
I threw together a basic site with the info here: https://davidbaunach.github.io/LogGit/ but you can also LogGit here: https://techpriesthub.xyz/forgejo/terrantechpriest/LogGit.git to get the most up-to-date version (I won't be adding updates to the Gihub version unless they become necessary).
Lastly, here's the repo where I'm trying stuff out, so far, have just been messing around with the idea of blogging, seeing how easy it would be for people to comment on posts via pull request: https://techpriesthub.xyz/forgejo/terrantechpriest/LogGit_stuff.git Probably will test stuff out there, and if it seems promising, move it over to Github so it will be easier for others to interact.

Had a fun idea the other day, of a cathedral built on the back of a Strandbeest. Tossed it in an ai as a prompt to get some starting points for a sketch, and low and behold, there must not have been enough Strandbeest images for training, the images were useless.
Which was a blessing in disguise. Having to do some research, merge together some stuff in Gimp, and start some of my own rough sketches in order to brainstorm has been a fun process.
Below is my furthest along wip:
I'm going to finish this sketch, but I already have a ton of ideas for the next one.
And my end goal is a thought me and my brother came up with while discussing it: a nomadic group of shepherds, living in yurts built on the backs of smaller strandbeests, following their chapel wherever the winds blow over the great plains. When storms come, they lower the sails and stretch them over the legs of the strandbeests as shelter for their sheep. And of course they will have anchors to keep their beests steady in the storm.
I can picture it in my head, will be a sweeping scene. Hope I can do it justice.

@npub1nnn…kzrt
@npub18hq…6gu8
I wanted to break my reply into a top level post, since it would be kind of long for a comment.
To clearly state my point, it is not impossible to prompt some sort of change to happen collectively, but at a grassroots level, the price of social change is too high for most individuals to consider paying it.
The Texas Secession Movements are a perfect example. These movements have happened in Texas since they joined the union, and have gotten nowhere. They grow to the level of collectivity pretty quickly, the desire is there, they can raise funds, they can convince politicians, they can sway public opinion. But the way the cards are stacked against any sort of change, they need a lot more money, in order to run a sustained campaign, as well as the necessary lawsuits, over a long period of time, even to win some small victories.
Working class people cannot raise these funds, or sustain this amount of spending, over the length of time that is necessary. And so these movements will only succeed if they can get corporate and/or government backing, which is not easy when you want to make life more difficult for government and corporations.
I referenced the Whiskey Rebellion because it highlighted this fact early on in US history. The people that rose up where small farmers on the frontier who were being unjustly taxed to the same extent as large manufacturers. Their grievances were dismissed and ignored, and when they finally fell back to violent means of protest, the federal government responded with overwhelming force.
The tragedy of the US is that though it was formed through violent protest and revolution, since that time when any group tries to do something similar, they are silenced.
And the repercussions are often not terribly visible to those outside the local community. Try to fight city hall, and all the sudden you start getting pulled over all the time whenever you drive somewhere. Your property gets reassessed at a higher value and your taxes go up. Your utilities become unreliable. Emergency services don't respond to your calls.
I said disappear, but I didn't mean killed. That does happen, but most of the time it's easier to shut people up by making their life hell. They disappear because they learned it's better to shut up.
Marvin Heemeyer and his killdozer are another good example. The frustration of trying to work with government bureaucracy makes most people just quite trying. In Marvin's case he decided to go out with a bang, but for the vast majority, they don't have enough capital and determination to keep fighting in the face of constant setback and frustration. And who can blame them.
I've stuck with mostly well-known cases for example, but I know about so many from the local communities I've lived in that are not recorded anywhere. The crushing weight of inability to do anything meaningful to even change something on a local level is insidious and it breaks your soul. The wide-spread drug use in this country makes complete sense. The only thing left is getting high and forgetting about this hell for a while.
While I understand the drug use, it's not for me. Subversion is the only realm of protest that makes sense to me. Build small things locally that make government redundant, with the understanding that if it becomes too well-known you will get punished. As long as you're willing to play dumb and pay the fine, you might make it out with just that. Worst case is jail, but that can be a method of protest. Live on the state's dime, and realize you're just living in a slightly smaller prison than you inhabited previously.

Are you stating that number of citizens = capability to control your government.
If so, that's an argument I haven't heard before, care to say more?
The lynchpin to understanding the servility of US citizens is the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791-1794, when the Federal army of 13,000 marched against 600 tax protestors. It was at that point (only a few years after the end of the revolution) we realized we had traded one king George for another. The only ones who speak out are the ones willing to be martyrs, and US soil is drenched with their blood.

# Collapse of Governments
When the rightful King ascended to the eternal throne, the scandal that is "government" was forced into the light of day.
We could no longer have a king, if Christ is King. We could no longer have a president, when Christ the High Priest presides over the eternal liturgy.
It is a reversal of the sin that happened when the people of Israel, in their desire to be like other nations, demanded a king.
"Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's."
"Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn."
And there are many other places where Our King says that we need not be concerned by these pretenders and usurpers, the day of judgment will come for them just as it will come for you and me.
Suffer government as one of the many injustices of this world, but do not let it steal the peace God gives you.
Many in the Church have furthered this teaching throughout the ages, showing that even those who find themselves within the machinations of a governing structure can at least steer it in a better direction, by aligning themselves closely with Christ, and following His direction, so as to allow Him to govern through them.
But even better, do not ever begin a government, or help to further one.
Instead, do as Our King teaches: give food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned.

Thanks @npub16zs…92l7, I'll keep an eye out for it!
And I'll dig through the Damus docs to see what they're cooking up, thanks @npub137c…k37w!
And that is something I hadn't thought of @npub1te0…jgwp, so thanks for that!
My end goal is to find out how people are constructing a relay that will be offline most of the time, not something I've seen much discussion about, but I figure anyone working on a mobile relay will be figuring that out.

Anyone in the nostrverse working on a lightweight relay that can run on a phone?

Man, Diaspora was my first foray into more decentralized social networking, and it was pretty darn cool! Think the main problem is what is always the sticking point: for the network to be healthy, a bunch of people have to run servers, and the people who actually can and want to do that are far between. Add to that the legal burden of running a server, and the writing is on the wall.

I use it from time to time, if you want video calling with near zero latency, it's the best option.

# Random Stuff
## Cool Mobile Game
Not much for mobile games, but was updating stuff on FDroid and saw Chip Defense, and it is amazing! A tower defense game, defending the cpu with chips that destroy incoming data, Was a good refresher on binary and hexadecimal, loved the simple design, and the fact that it's only available through FDroid or just getting the APK from [Github.](https://github.com/ochadenas/cpudefense)
## Meme Bible
I started a free time project with a few friends to make a meme translation of the Bible, which has turned up some very cringe and beautifully ugly attempts. Threw together a [really simple Github page with everything we have so far.](https://davidbaunach.github.io/meme-bible-translation/)

Thanks! I've played around with Station, but haven't checked out the other one, will have to do some exploration!
SSB is Secure Scuttlebutt, a p2p gossip protocol. It's one of the options that was considered when making Nostr. There's still a decent sized community using it, though there's only one actively maintained client at the moment.

I've recently been considering the many aspects of the free and open source 'movement' (for lack of a better word) that mesh well with the Catholic worldview.
I wrote a somewhat fanciful piece on FOSS projects being like the cathedrals of our age: long-standing projects, taking generations of builders, built for the good of the community. (https://www.linen.dev/d/university-of-st-hildegard-of-bingen)
That got me thinking further, about how FOSS projects are a service to the poor. As cathedrals offer a place of beauty and inspiration to everyone, regardless of income level, so open source projects offer tools and resources that can be used by all.
And going a step further: these projects are usually built in the open, with publicly available documentation on how to contribute, and usually even the capability to view the process of improvements being incorporated into the project. Thus allowing for an educational opportunity open for any who have the desire to learn, again, free of direct cost.
The final thought this prompted, is how FOSS projects build community. While it may start as the work of a single person (and of course the vast majority of projects stay that way), it has the potential to grow into the work of a community, with all the difficulty and opportunity for growth that entails.
I'd love to work this into a longer paper some day, though a good library would be essential for the research. But there's definitely something here.
