... The difference being that AppCache is an actual recommendation and widely supported. I'm not saying don't write PWAs using SW, but writing it *today* will almost certainly require changes before 2067. Also just because of other relevant features and browser security changes.

"If you rewrite that app as a PWA today it will work as intended 50 years from now."

LOL if you've been writing PWAs since Apple introduced AppCache in iOS. Google ripped out AppCache prematurely, and the SW spec isn't even finished yet.

So, what's the best OSS-based video sharing site for publishing a 2-minute 1080p thing? PeerTube looks amazing already, but there don't seem to be any sites with registration open atm. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

Phew, that was hard! Finally have a Huginn workflow for syndicating Mastodon favs and boosts back to my personal site, from where I post (using #IndieWeb #webmentions).

Here's the scenario diagram: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/180111-1545-mastodon-webmentions.png (blog post and Huginn gems coming soon).

OH: "Tigo wish you a very jolly journey!" #hackerbeach

Found my first actual issue with CSS Grid: you can't use transition animations on grid column widths. Or maybe I missed something? #css #cssgrid

Please disregard my earlier post about Visa for now. Turns out all those bitcoin companies giving out debit cards were using the same issuer, and that company was not complying with Visa security rules. https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Visa-sperrt-hunderttausende-Bitcoin-Kreditkarten-3934620.htm...

Imagine a world where you could fix typos in status posts.

Visa is cracking down on all debit card issuers who allow topups via BTC. The incumbents' war against our decentralized, open-source financial system has officially begun.

Lenovo still not introducing proper hi-res displays in their new x280s is rather sad. Anyone has experiences with Linux on the Huawei Matebook X?

Is anyone working on a photo sharing platform for the fediverse already?

Happy new year, everyone!

In 2018, let's be excellent to each other, respect and try to understand different opinions and perspectives, be aware of cultural spheres and bubbles, *do* instead of talk, and most importantly: hack the planet and take the power back!

Already made lots of improvements to RS Inspector since I announced it recently. You can follow the releases and changes on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/skddc/inspektor/tags #remotestorage

"6 reasons why Mastodon won't survive" from April 2017: http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/#kPr8akjqpaqV -- featuring 6 reasons that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Meanwhile, the fediverse has been growing slowly but steadily, day by day, with people deleting more and more birdsite accounts.

Notes for new followers:

1. I post to https://updates.kip.pe first and syndicate to other sites from there. Be aware that your likes, replies, etc. are synced to that site and accessible on the open Web.
2. You can follow me on the fediverse too/instead: https://kosmos.social/@raucao

Personal recommendation for an interesting #34C3 talk today: @cbeams will introduce you to the decentralized exchange platform Bisq. 6pm on the Chaos West stage in the assembly hall: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2017/wiki/index.php/Session:Bisq_-_A_decentralized_bitcoin_exchange#_...

I guess getting a new Hetzner box provisioned might take a bit longer during #34C3...
