Day 30 of the #100DaysToOffload series:

I feel like I got a little bit preachy in this one, but it's something I'm passionate about. I think it's time to go back to the Internet the way it used to be.

TIL The Apollo 10 mission load-out was not QUITE the same as the Apollo 11 load-out.

They intentionally under-fueled the LEM because there was concern that if it was fully fueled, the astronauts might disobey orders and go to the moon.

Imagine that.

I want to live in that timeline.

OSF are having a web meeting this week: https://opensearchfoundation.org/en/2nd-international-symposium-on-open-search-25-27-may-2020/

Spotify is buying up all the popular podcasts and removing them from the commons in order to drive you to their platform.

Podcasts have somehow stayed open access, built on standards, and just (mostly) work. Moving them to a proprietary platform just so a few people (ie: not you) can make money is bad for everyone who isn't making money. (ie: you.)

Today's post is about Yubikeys and how I use them with SSH 🙂 #100DaysToOffload https://gabnotes.org/using-your-yubikey-with-ssh-and-achieving-multifactor-authentication

I need your help.

I wrote a lengthy and technical blog post in which I describe an idea I have for a distributed system to verify content on websites.

TLDR: servers with cryptographically-signed hashes verify content and notify website owners if said content is changed.

Am I missing obvious flaws? Has this problem already been solved?

Please do let me know if this would be worth the effort.

15 minutes before tomorrow, and I've put up my next blog post for #100DaysToOffload

Here it is.

Day 9 of #100DaysToOffload, I published a note about #softwarelibre PDF tools.

Software Libre Alternatives for PDF

It feels like the direction this is is all pointing in is… Dreamweaver. You author your web apps in one format, and it builds a big bundle that looks nothing like the code you actually authored. But it's optimized!

This shouldn't feel so strange to native developers. Android devs rarely look inside of APKs, iOS devs never peek inside of IPA files. It's just weird to think that the web might be trending in this direction.

Wondering how well Deno ( https://deno.land/ ), a "secure" Node, would work as a game platform for home users.

Is this the new 8-bit BASIC?

h/t @teleclimber for bringing Deno to my atttention
