A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny... Let's have it!

  • It's escapism, albeit rather dated at this point.

    I suspect one of the reasons for the delay in announcing the new Bond is trying to figure out how to navigate Bond around more modern sensibilities. There were rumours that they might go back to being less serious but, after the Amazon takeover, who knows what will happen. Other than a massive glut of Bond media.

  • Is this being used for fediverse stuff yet?

    Jump

  • Could this be used in place of a CDN?

    The idea has been raised a few times that this could be a way to get longer videos on the Fediverse

    Cinetimes uses it to stream what it claims are public domain films but, looking over the offerings they may be playing a bit fast and loose with that definition.

    EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

    So there is a Hubzilla plugin. I don't know what I'd do with it but it is interesting to see.

    PeerWeb sounds intriguing. You could have truly decentralised web sites.

  • Thank you so much for initiating this program.

  • I use Obsidian with Zettel Notes on my phone to access and edit the MD files in Obsidian, as it is much faster for dashing off a quick note. ZN also has tools that allow you to save a web page or selection as MD which is very handy indeed.

  • That's a fantastic shot.

  • I have largely given up on red meat and cow's milk, I do sometimes have a bit of lamb. It's definitely doable.

  • Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies?

    Jump

  • Ghost have their code open source and offer paid for hosting which is not unreasonable as you'd to pay to send bulk emails anyway even if you self-hosted (although there are free tiers from some providers if your only send a few hundred a month).

  • There had been discussion about a Fediverse game and I suggested that a text-based MMORPG (like Urban Dead) would be doable.

  • I was just going to ask what the Irish instance was. I'd correct that asap as they can get awfully feisty when riled. I've got ¾ Irish ancestry, so it's not racist.

  • Would it help if we got together a zipped file of the various Fediverse logos as SVGs and linked it in over there? The less work they have to do the more likely it would be to get adopted.
