Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

๐Ÿคท this is mostly gibberish to me, but the heart seems to be in the right place, and perhaps someone here might be interested in this project

ah shit not another one

This will be compromised as any project that takes a "code is law" approach is. The problems of the internet have a social root and cannot be solved with a technological approach.

the problem with betanet is that it needs mass adoption to work

uh huh

oh this is for selling drugs, never mind it might actually catch on

I personally would like an org-mode web protocol to share and broadcast org documents with others.

[โ€“] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Implement it using gopher, Redis had support for it back when it was still cool

It's not too complex and there's tons of existing gopher text servers out there to find

I read this post on reddit a few years ago. Many people suggested using the Gopher/Gemini protocol for org documents as well.

Someone responded mentioning their proposal on a standard org markup language that they presented at EmacsConf21 and how it would potentially work on the web:

Alright, I wanna make it and we'll call it gopher://orgtown.em

that would be incredible tbh

why did he duckduckgo mutually assured destruction to explain what MAD is lmao

[โ€“] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is Gemini for text documents. I searched for hexbear on there and found this

aren't those just gemtexts on midnight.pub (which wtf i need to move there for posting)

aren't those just gemtexts on midnight.pub

It seems to be the case. I stumbled upon midnight.pub for the first time so I don't know much about it doggirl-sweat

[โ€“] abc@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah it seems like midnight.pub just has their posts on a gemini protocol for browsing as well as http. Thanks for getting me knee deep into browsing a bunch of smallweb sites I've never encountered before because I'm not a developer nor am I smart enough to contribute to such projects - I love window-gazing into shit like this and barely understanding 90% of it but going 'waow people are living such different lives than me' lol.

More on Gemini here if you're interested: https://geminiprotocol.net/ (it definitely has a better name than finger/spartan/gopher which are all similarish non-http protocols but idk....)

I love how apparently the user lingo is 'gemspace' and 'gopherspace'. Hexbear needs to get an embassy in the Mare Crisium Soviet Socialist Regency (gemini://soviet.circumlunar.space; gopher://soviet.circumlunar.space)

Lagrange if you wanna browse gemspace: https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/lagrange

Thanks for the resources doggirl-thumbsup

On android, I use Buran (available on fdroid) and it works well enough for me.

Hexbear needs to get an embassy in the Mare Crisium Soviet Socialist Regency (gemini://soviet.circumlunar.space; gopher://soviet.circumlunar.space)

The first page I landed on when I checked gemini a few months back was called zaibatsu corporation or something along the lines(cyberpunk setting maybe). Seems like it had two sister sites and this was one of them which I missed. Thanks for mentioning it. They have a cap on the number os users though.

I really miss internet from the 00s.

Complete HTX client/server crate (TCP-443 & QUIC-443): $400 USD

Core deliverables: dial(), accept(), multiplexed stream() APIs; ChaCha20-Poly1305; Noise XK; ECH stub; โ‰ฅ 80 % line/branch fuzz coverage Description: Think of this as building the "network cables" for Betanet software. It's a reusable library that lets any app open or accept encrypted connections that look like normal HTTPS on ports 443. Without this, no data can move on Betanet. Every other project will import it.

so you want an http server?
