🤔 What is #PeerWeb?

PeerWeb is a revolutionary way to host and share websites using WebTorrent technology. Instead of relying on centralized servers, websites are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, making them censorship-resistant and always available. 🌍✨

You know, it's really sad. It's been years now and the vast majority of people still have no clue what made Bitcoin special in the first place. This was supposed to be a social revolution like the Liberty Dollar was. Local businesses were supposed to be accepting Bitcoin directly and not just using trading services to convert it back to dollars on the fly. When you put your money in a bank, you're basically lending it to the bank and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. We have all had the power to be our own banks for years now and most of us are completely ignoring it. At some point, this just affirms my Christian belief that human beings are not basically good. And now here's the evidence. We get something so powerful and we just use it to build another casino.

I'm researching tabletop RPGs because LLMs are getting good enough to simulate that. Kinda. I have to remind the LLM to follow certain mechanics, it isn't an expert, but it can implement the rules correctly most of the time. I tell it to never simulate dice rolls, and I provide all RNG. It can handle NPC party characters along with everything else. Even does a good job at managing statistics and inventory.

I'm wondering if some of these tiny "one page" indie tabletop RPGs would work better. Considering you could stick the entire rulebook in the context with no issue.

You where all thinking it. And the answer is 'yes!'. Yes you can totally LASER engrave a banana to exfiltrate data from your secured premises. Just out of the machine the text is barely noticable. But the next morning? Clear as day.

Added a new bullet type: the wave beam. It can penetrate through walls.

It uses the same sprite as the standard laser, but I plan to change that.

I really wonder if all the climate change bullshit is to try to get more geoengineering in. I wonder if world leaders want to restore ice age like climate because that's what's needed to active ancient and long dormant technology in ancient structures, like under the pyramids and in Antarctica.

@MK2boogaloo people are fundamentally misunderstanding how 4chan operates on normalfag social media again and it's making me frustrated, regardless of what sort of impact Epstein's meetings with moot had, the culture of 4chan was developed by anons, not by moot, /new/ was already full of stormfags in 2011, after moot made /pol/ all of the refugees that flocked to 4chon came back to 4chan to start being edgy libertarians again.

In spite of everything epstein has written or done i don't think I've ever seen him support libertarianism

Possibly the main reason why nobody is leading an armed revolution is because there's essentially no cost to waiting, and every day of waiting the regime becomes weaker and popular support for a revolution becomes stronger.

What will probably be the trigger-point is when someone goes ahead and starts striking sparks, then everyone else is going to join in because they all want a piece of the spoils / control over how the revolution goes.

I never said he was .. I'm just stating he's an idiot.

Still, the scamdemic is nothing to sneeze at. A very large number of people still think everything that happened was okay. People still say "before COVID," "during COVID," defining that era of mass-hysteria as real. There's never been a reckoning for what was the largest psychological operation in human history, and that will continue to have ramifications for the rest of this decade.

Train evangelists are always like "oh trains are great and always on time and comfy and amazing" like wow I love being cramped and 45-60mins late every time lately

Don't even get me started on the horrors of Deutschebahn

Ripple/XRP (a cryptocurrency company) just granted 200k USD to Social Web Foundation, "...to research sustainable revenue and operating models for digital publishers and community-run platforms":

https://interledger.org/news/interledger-foundation-awards-200000-social-web-foundation-support-decentralized-social-media

This means they will be able to influence the development of the ActivityPub specification at W3C.

For those who don't know: Interledger, WebMonetization and OpenPayments are basically the same thing, these projects were created by Ripple ~10 years ago in order to insert their cryptocurrency and related payment services into web standards. These projects are sometimes presented as independent, but this is a lie, they are not (not in 2019, not in 2025).

Needless to say, Ripple itself is a borderline scam: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2019/03/01/is-ripple-a-scam/. It's not even a cryptocurrency really, their infrastructure is completely centralized and no one in cryptocurrency space takes them seriously. But they have a lot of money to bribe people, so I am sure that we will hear more about their adventures soon.

@forestofenchantment@furville.drinkanddrive.africa With respect to the NES I can name at least 10 titles that are worth playing, I cannot hardly name anything other than that weird robot game that was just a glorified demo of the PS5 capabilities. So yea to reiterate, I am sticking with my NES / SNES , PS1 and PS2 emulation - and there is also dos games. So I am good.
