Team/single dude behind Blacksky announces plans to ship an open payments app based on ATProto tech. I am very curious about this, as Rudy has managed to build at least one thing nobody else succeeded at, but also skeptical because:
- Blacksky works well but has not (yet?) lived up to its promises on independence/uncensorability
- I know people who tried to create payment processors and the hard part is preventing the upstream from censoring you, not building web apps.

However I *had* asked him, and not got a reply… and the questions I've sent him since didn't get replies… so… I don't know what to do. I assume he is legitimately busy, he/his team really do deliver a lot! Their messaging still confuses me.)

The simple version of what Blacksky announced here— ko-fi but it sends to DIDs— I'm certain they can stand up. What I'm less sure on is the claim "Privacy Preserving – Neither us nor our banking partner will know about your transactions". Hm. But the endpoints are ATProto accounts, a social identity. Meanwhile upstream paypros do things like this:

If third parties demand a user debanked completely for sexual sin, can Blacksky Cash protect against this? Is that in scope?

Nei giorni scorsi ho letto un po' di cose su #Yunohost.
Ora... se io volessi passare al self hosting dovrei installarmi una mezza dozzina di applicazioni (posta, blog, istanza Friendica e poco altro).
Volendo gestire solo una mezza dozzina di applicazioni non mi converrebbe lavorare direttamente sul server senza metterci Yunohost di mezzo? Anche lui alla fine è pur sempre un qualcosa che va curato, tenuto aggiornato, gestito in qualche modo e se mi è chiaro il vantaggio nel caso di una community che usa una ventina di applicazioni non mi è altrettanto chiaro il vantaggio nel caso di self hosting monoutente.
Se le app sono poche la fatica di installarsele "a mano" è bassa e si evita il livello aggiuntivo introdotto da Yunohost.
Cosa mi perderei se lavorassi direttamente su un VPS senza metterci Yunohost di mezzo?

@stefano @me Yep, use is limited. The use I have with them is usually to prove to the world™️ (me) that human knowledge is great (encyclopedia, proven sources of info on the matter such as Crypto Cellar - https://cryptocellar.org -, and the many books I own (no drm in my old paper books :-) ).

OK, mi girerò dall'altra parte fingendo di avere altro da fare 😁
