@101101000 I like you

Proxocracy - Voting on people who vote on decisions.

Politicians live in a democracy, citizens live in a proxocracy. Politicians have more freedom than citizens. So much for checks and balances.

@jasonetheridge you're a software engineer, if you consider that children are a culmination of the propogation ourselves and the ones we love, that variably outlast us extending our affects beyond our lifetimes.. I'm surprised we don't do more for our children. Happy weekend dude!

I thought a motorcycle ride in a sunshower would be a cinematic surreal experience. It was, but was it worth a flu? Tbd

@Baley a weed post, and shortly after a cookie post.. I mean like, gosh, who'd have guessed.

@EtnaUpdater it's wild how there's not much going on, but the amount of love being transferred is wildly high.

@shadowsonawall https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/
According to this chart, the protocol is broken down in to various modes and component's and has Mastadon as such. Through analysing the feature usage and modes. I draw the conclusion that they could create "rifts" in the fediverse hosted inside their territories but not outside. But regarding, client access to the fediverse outside the territory, would involve packet filtering, and header detection. While typically this is simple, the client to server connections to be filtered are standard tcp/udp 80 443, and the request headers wouldn't be simply http https ws wss, but also a slew of API request headers. To filter all of this would require enormous processing power.

But let's say they did it anyway. The solution is simple. By redacting and redirecting certain components of the activity pub protocol, it would be simple to initiate an "activity pub proxy protocol" in which users can install gateways instead of servers that search for open connections to the fediverse that make requests using an undefined headerset, and translating them. This would make using the entire fediverse accessible inside the blocked country, in a similar way that no country has successfully blocked torrenting. While it's possible to detect it and block it, the client would simply change ports, redefine it's connection to the proxy and continue business as normal. If even one of the connected proxies is located outside the country anywhere in the world remained active, it couldn't be stopped. More good news, these could be installed along side already running Mastadon installations, without interference.

@shadowsonawall I thought Mastadon only implemented activitypub for server to server, and client to server had a plethora of connection methods, so I thought blocking the protocol would only stop new servers from being connected in the country, but not block clients connecting to servers outside the country. Now I'm not sure.

@Tornflakes @garyackerman Local culture and environment play a role too. I've got employees scattered all over the world. But just cause a practice in Switzerland works in Switzerland, doesn't mean in works in Ghana. While those are extremes, the differences propogate down to interdepartmental communications in the same office. Environments keep evolving too.

@voutlook I was just teasing @trinsec for being responsible. 🙂

@insidequantum I'm just a noob but I absolutely love Quantum physics and energy. I made DIY optical tweezers last year and I'm still amazed that I'm able to learn the mechanics, read journals, and use that information to fine time, and experiment on my own, and contribute new data. I look forward greatly to your posts:)

I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist.

@trinsec I think for fate to work, you have to believe in it. Fate is like that 1990s copy machine that some offices refuse to replace. Everyone's amazed when it works but nobody actually depends on it for anything critical.

@voutlook if the world develops a hate for India, which I don't see happening any time soon, I don't think the cause will originate from any amount of anyone ranting on any social media. I meet a lot of Indians, and Pakistanis in my line of work, most of them I've met are angrier at their own nations than each other. Hope you're having a great weekend 🙂

@voutlook Ah, my favorite quote from Aristotle.

@Spinybadger I've used it in 2 different apps, they managed b2b in house couriers. So usually packages went to offices where the delivery windows were constricted to office hours unless security has a 24 hour presence.

However, and you'll love this, to modify it for b2c, all you have to do is expand the arrival tolerance by distance in between the stops by order and that solves that problem.

@gpowerf ooooh that's gonna make the news.. "the autopsy suggested the elderly individual landed a triple axle, but their pajamas got caught on the stairwell bannister leading to what the CSI team referred to as 'mystery carnage', the family was not available for comment".
