@xinqu by old tech I don't mean old hardware, but some solutions that have been around for many years but used in a different way. I think it's possible, but I have to create this

@stefano What exactly are you trying to do when you refer to 'old tech'? Is it for sustainability, saving resources or more like the #permacomputing culture, which most of the time wants to explore what would be possible?

My motiviation is mostly 'sustainablity', e.g. using old cheap routers from ebay as #OpenWRT-Devices serving DNS, DHCP. BUT ONLY when they don't consume a lot of energy.

This is a stop sign for me: Running old hardware that consumes 3 times more electricity while being 10 times less powerful than a modern device.

@benroyce last night I caught up on all the drama and I'm absolutely flabbergasted... and a little surprised there hasn't been more talk on here about the implications of the false promises of AT Proto's decentralization.

Link has been permanently banned even if he's on Blacksky... because Blacksky uses Bluesky's AppView https://bsky.app/profile/rvbdrm.com/post/3m2jxe5ly722x

Looking up "Link Blacksky" on Bluesky surfaces really interesting talking points

Today's task is to find a new solution using old tech but with a fresh approach. I'm sure it'll start with excitement, then move on to frustration, stress, and total hatred for the technology. Eventually, I'll have a great idea that turns out to be a dead end. You know, just another day.

@ellyxir I honestly don't think their architecture is very good

@mcc@mastodon.social amazing thread. so clear even explaining what you’re not clear about. but it does make me feel like it shouldn’t be this complicated. i haven’t looked at atproto but everything i read makes me not want to.

There are comparatively few instances that federate, since we are new to the activitypub game.

I made the decision that if you upgrade to v4, AP is turned off. Install a new instance of NodeBB, and ActivityPub is enabled out of the box.

Side effect of that would be all instances running prior to v4 won't be federating, but at least there will be no surprises!

Here's a list, but it's not listed by topic or genre.

I recently discovered NodeBB can federate and started hunting for interesting instances. I’m into tech, literature, and indie games but haven’t found an instance that fits. Could anyone recommend NodeBB instances with active communities focused on those topics? Thanks!
