Tinkered around with the bsky / at protocol around a few days ago (more like a week lol), in an attempt to create an fully decentral account / identity where no parts are owned by an copoeration. And to my surprires you can actually not only host the account data yourself (called a PDS) but also the whole identity itself!

Wrote a (rather long) blog post about the journey and how to achieve it; check it out if those things interest you: blog.lapyst.dev/posts/14-how-t

Now that the release has dropped I can say that it is pretty cool that we (@limeleaf@social.coop) got to partner with @Flipboard@flipboard.social for their @surf@flipboard.social announcement promoting their custom feeds on https://blueskydirectory.com

If you also use Bluesky, check out https://surf.social and use the code in the announcement post to sign up.

#Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

How it will be #architected: [positive-intentions.com/blog/d
Some #benefits of the #approach: [positive-intentions.com/blog/s

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

#Cryptography modules - cryptography.positive-intentio

#P2P framework - p2p.positive-intentions.com/?p

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

#P2P chat - [chat.positive-intentions.com/]
#P2P file transfer - [file.positive-intentions.com/]

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

(mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)

positive-intentionsDecentralized P2P Chat & File Transfer - Secure Messaging Without Central Servers | positive-intentionsExperience secure P2P chat, file transfer, and video calls without registration. Built on decentralized architecture with end-to-end encryption and complete data ownership.

So, when I have the time, energy, and resources, I'll integrate my Mastodon instance with my separate S3 object storage system. The provider is a Malaysian company, and yeah, this Mastodon server can be very Malaysian, except for the VPS, which is hosted in Singapore, lol. Also, the DNS hosting is provided by the legendary, old good company.

Hi, guys. Good morning. I'm new to fedi.bond. I speak Malay and English. Can I speak those languages here on this Fediverse instance? I know it mentioned that this is a Russian-speaking community. I am Kalvin, and I love information technology. Have a nice day! 😄☀️

No one's asking #Nextcloud to drop #YouTube. Just to give people a choice by *also* mirroring to a #FOSS, #decentralized alternative such as #Peertube.

Once again, Tilvids already said they'd be happy to host. I already offered to set up mirroring free of charge. The whole thing could be set up in 30 minutes with nothing more than a "Yes, you have our permission." (or by doing it yourself).

There is no cost to Nextcloud at all. It needs no staff resources. It takes nothing away from your YouTube viewers. It's in alignment with Nextcloud's stated values. It would raise credibility for your stated aims.

So what else would it take to move forward in the near term instead of maybe, possibly off in the future?
