- Crude oil is more transportation, granted, but companies/orgs that manage big fleets are increasingly thinking the same way. (Airlines and ocean shipping, though, hoo boy. Lots of ideas, but nothing obvious or easy yet.)
- Electricity generation projects have huge planning timelines, 15-30y. They’re more and more considering coal plants etc “stranded assets” and writing them down or off for these and other reasons.
- Yes! Related: github.com/snarfed/bridgy… and snarfed.org/backfeed-witho…, especially with HN’s public firehose: github.com/HackerNews/API
- Oops, looks like the blog post text is accidentally a copy of openssf.org/blog/2022/06/2… instead?
- Yes!
- If those tweets are older, it’s probably because Twitter’s v1.1 search API, which Bridgy uses to find replies, is best effort and only includes the last week. brid.gy/about#can+be+f… We’re looking forward to the v2 API! But it’s still incomplete, so we can’t migrate just yet.

- Yes, but you also sometimes mind*fully* generate words. I’m with you in general! I’m no dualist. And there are easy dunks to be had here. But there’s still a meaningful difference between us and current foundational models, even if we can’t quite articulate it yet, right?
- (I won’t speak for Dorian, but afaik IndieWeb is pretty neutral on AWS. Agreed, all three of the big cloud providers are basically utilities, in many ways. Which is often good!)
- For example, we often recommend micro.blog to new people, which is a fully hosted service that lets you bring your own domain and fully import/export your data. Regardless, appreciate the questions, we definitely need to keep working on our messaging here!
- We agree! We don’t actually care that much about servers or infra. We focus on 1) own your own domain, so that you control where your site lives and how people get to it, and 2) make sure your data is accessible and exportable, so that you control it and can migrate if necessary.
- also the language’s name is pronounced “jacked”?

- indiemap.org has a bunch! This query returns 882, including domains, names, and Twitter handles: console.cloud.google.com/bigquery?sq=46… (Fair warning, data is 5y old.)
- Primacy of user testing and feedback?
- Hey, no worries! Yup, site is WordPress, social responses are Bridgy/webmention. Thanks for the kind words!

- We’re excited to announce NCX’s winter 2022 cycle had the participation of nearly 1,800 landowners, a 15X increase in landowner participation from our first cycle less than a year ago. Read more: bit.ly/3r2G8A5
- I think our current framework for copyright and patents is inverted. Public domain should be the default, not the special case. My reasons here: kk.org/thetechnium/id…
- I’m building a house and I tell my contractor I don’t want any smart shit in it and he’s like “but you’re a tech guy?” and I say “yes exactly”.

- Today: Lost a court case, climbed a mountain, read hundreds of pages of legal papers, wrote some code. Just as determined as ever to fight on until there is genuine developer and consumer freedom in software, and fair competition in each mobile platform software component.

- The ancient painters of Chinese scrolls were not exaggerating when they painted towering mountains jutting out of swirling clouds. This is the view from the top of Huangshan, (Yellow Mountain) China one early morning. Photo from my book #VanishingAsia #Huangshan #China #scrolls
- Many of us have known about the amazing biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest since childhood. I still remember the song from a video I saw about it when I was a kid: “The rainforest…the tropical rainforest.” It is also its own unique front in the climate change fight. 1/13
- Blogs = still the best representation of the Internet’s promise. Everyone should have a site that they own, not just a social media account (which are great for promoting blog posts).
- This Memorial Day weekend, I’m thinking about my grandfather, Raymond T. Lahar (middle), and rereading his memoirs. He fought in World War II, in the European and North African theaters, Company K, 142nd Infantry, 36th Division, 1942-1945.
- Today we received an EUA for LAMP, a technology that makes COVID-19 testing faster, more efficient, and less reliant on constrained supplies compared to RT-PCR. We’ve used it to create protocols for scalable lab design and return-to-work programs. color.com/lamp-eua-press…

- I used to brag about how good and reliable my @Synology is, but my new one apparently only wants to give all green status if it is fed a diet of Synology branded hard drives, and not Seagates and WD… What are people replacing their Synology’s with now a days?
- I want something that is hands off, something I don’t have to manage or play system integrator. I just want it to work and not have to think about it.
- “I distrust idealism’s authoritarian streak; I believe in incremental change that takes into account what people say they want, and why.” — E. J. Graff (@ejgraff)
- Happy 5th of July! macrumors.com/2022/07/05/eu-…
- Put my old undergraduate thesis online. This little blog post I wrote years ago is a better introduction though. somebits.com/weblog/tech/re… Thesis PDF: somebits.com/~nelson/reed-t…
- Really what could be more American than a guy with an AR-15 shooting up a 4th of July parade.
- Shipping might follow a bit of the same pattern. They sometimes use the lowest grade output of refining, but that’ll go away if there’s no refining
- The 2050 retiree with an antique speed boat could pay through the nose for vintage diesel because no one makes it anymore.
- Gas supply chain issues made me a little more optimistic about long-term oil/carbon. I had the naive view of a big pool we just dipped into and burned. So even if most usage got super efficient, *someone* would burn the cheap, leftover oil. I thought a carbon tax was must-have.
- But making oil usable is capital-intensive, and no one wants to make a 30-year investment in an oil refinery or pipeline now. So oil-derived products can get expensive *in anticipation* of demand going down.
- My side project finally made it to the App Store! 🎊 It’s an app to digitally save your greeting cards (instead of keeping them in a drawer forever). Check it out! greetingcardcapture.com
- Why haven’t governments responded better to dilemmas? It’s because “people have stopped wanting good things to happen,” says @tylercowen. Something to this: romance, heroism, gumption about tech & policy innovation are flagging among elites & populists. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
- Just last night I finished a book (amazon.com/How-Take-Over-…) with a related data point that made me a bit sad. I remain a strident optimist, and there is a ton of objective data to back that position, but I do feel that broad pessimism is an unfortunate brake on progress.
- Fiery indignation about a flaw, *when directly engaged in building a solution* is a fine path to progress, but “pessimism cheerleading” and self-flagellation have few upsides. Being an optimist, I feel that progress is going to win anyway, but I would rather win faster!
- The Wire … … … (Nothing else is worthy but since you ask:) Borgen (Danish) M*A*S*H Twilight Zone / Black Mirror Mad Men
- I’ve been digging into old literature: the Apple ][ manuals, VAX 11/780 Pascal reference, original Algol papers. Trying to pin down the lost magic from the origins of computing.
- If the metaverse happens, it has to be done the old way. Modern standards efforts like w3.org/TR/did-core/ (the latest trending topic) are incomprehensible bureaucratic gibberish compared to the work of the old greats.
- @snarfed This led me to read [the whole Wikipedia article on Edgar Cayce, a name I had heard of, but really had no idea what he was known for. Fascinating, but no explanation of “vortexing”.
- ✅ kids asleep ✅ migrated @PerkeepOrg to @flydotio ✅ running container VM in 3 regions because why not
