    I’ve run http servers from my phone to copy files from it. For fun I made CSS for the file list and added an “upload file” button. I never got the php max upload size setting to take effect though. And I never bothered with that cert crap. But you CAN run web servers. I found the php web server worked best.






  • Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don’t use google’s other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don’t remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.












  • I’ve never been someone who blocks people and I’ve never been into filtering posts on any site/platform. But there’s no shame in it here. It’s VERY intended for users to have that ability and not just use it when they’re being harassed. For a bit I was even considering using adblock filters to get block some keywords but that hasn’t been as much of a problem lately for me. But just a few communities and accounts are responsible for most of the doom and gloom.



  • They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.


  • It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

    The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

    We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

    I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.
