I have a theory

The only people that opt for bits over sats are the ones who have an ungodly amount of corn

An when priced in sats, their number looks bigger than the US National Debt Clock

Hey @npub18ul...dcl9 your Europe dashboard is completely unusable with the Gecko engine.

Okay, when did something so fundamentally break on the web between the days of weblogs and RSS 0.90—where the element was the only mandatory field—and today’s social media platforms (like LinkedIn, X and Instagram), where setting an external link is penalized by algorithms?

Honestly, the first social medium on the internet, namely weblogs, were purely link-sharing platforms. People surfed the web and referred to cool websites they had found, usually with a short introduction or comment. But the primary goal was linking.

Today, we mainly peddle content to foreign servers that are operated at the mercy of others, and we are penalized if we dare to set an external link. Today, you can be grateful if the platform allows you to place a link to your website on your profile page.

It’s like a Stockholm syndrome in a hostage situation of a walled garden. Stockholm syndrome, because a bunch of clowns proudly report on how to crawl up these algorithm's backside.

What has gone so terribly wrong with the users of the WWW in the last 26 years? I dare to guess that humanity was and still is not ready for true self-sovereign information exchange. Not yet ready for the real web that Tim Berners-Lee envisioned.

After all, he had intentionally addressed scientists back then. So, intelligent people. Not plebs like us.

We done dumping already? Where’s my 69K!?

As a writing motivation I decided to render some minimal book covers for the #sovbiz book 🏴‍☠️⚓️

We run a few RIPE Atlas probes and anchors - why you should too?

RIPE Atlas is extremely useful service to measure and monitor network events globally. As per their own statistics at https://atlas.ripe.net/statistics/ they cover about 5% of all allocated ASNs (not only RIPE region) and 89% of countries.

This service provides an unprecedented real time view of how the Internet is working. This data is valuable for researchers worldwide and accessible for anyone. It can help you to troubleshoot own network, look at connectivity or improve the Internet (if you are an ISP).

Participation is volunteer, however all operators of both probe or anchor get "credits". They are used for running your own custom measurements and can be shared.

More details on how it works: https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/ripe-atlas/how-ripe-atlas-works/
