I just arrived at the re:publica party. Ping me if you wanna hang out.

 

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but any feedback, ideas, proposals are always appreciated, e.g. on https://community.remotestorage.io/ ! Would love to discuss how to integrate the two better.

 

A bird shat on my handlebars, and I locked myself out of the flat. But hey, at least the weather sucks, too.

 

Is it weird if I ask this barista for his work hours, because he's consistently playing the weirdest, but best electronic "robot music" I've ever heard?

 

Wow, the Ember.js Berlin meetup is packed! Good to see such increased interest by the German JS community.

 

Looks like Canyon have put a lot of effort into making women-specific road bikes. Even using smaller wheels on some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U631fSUkmQM

 
 

Considering Web tech's collective bus factor in Berlin right now. One could call it the nuke factor.

 

Hacking on Kosmos Kredits at Room 77 with the crew. If you're in Berlin and you like red ale, Ethereum, IPFS or Ember.js, feel free to drop by.

 

When you give random people on the U8 some Linux distro tips after overhearing their conversation.

 

On the plus side, Peerdrop (a cross-platform alternative for Airdrop) is a fantastic little program! https://github.com/0x00A/peerdrop

 

Mayday festival in Kreuzberg is happening outside my office, and I'm sitting here fixing Electron builds for an app created at .

 

The router at is not giving out IPs anymore, so my laptop is camp-legal now I guess.

 

Preparing bike and panniers to go to Offline Camp from Berlin. Strava route is an easy 52km. But clouds look kinda scary and it's cold AF.

 
 

Random thought: what if Mastodon/OStatus instances would (optionally) be IPFS nodes, storing all their assets in IPFS and having other instances sync and re-distribute them? What if instance admins paying for AWS or similar could be replaced by community-financed, instance-specific pinning nodes, which retain all content that wasn't accessed recently?

 

Someone made an RSS-to-Mastodon service/program: https://toot.berlin/@blindcoder/180582

 

If you haven't used Firefox in a couple of years, let me tell you: it has come a loooong way. It's slick, fast, full-featured, puts users and privacy first, and the dev tools are great. Short of the DRM drama (in which Google as an active supporter is much more at fault than Mozilla giving in to pressure imo), there should be no reason you couldn't use it as your default Web browser right now.

 

If your default browser is made by an advertising company, you should expect your data being used for ads and tracking by design (no matter what extensions or options you configure).

If you absolutely have to use Chrome, you can still choose Chromium as a less privacy-invasive alternative, but I think it won't solve the QUIC issue.
