Where should I put my game's discussion forum? Steam? TIGSource? Reddit? My own site?

(For more details, here's a Reddit post with the same question that I just posted. reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/comme… I'm too lazy to make it into a thread here on Mastodon, sorry.)

Own Discourse is the way to go. If you can generate some genuine activity it'll be a SEO gold mine in the comming years. I see the big jump in Discourses we use (like diskutuj.digital) from Google clicks starting this april.

My guess is this is a shift from AI generated copy on SEO websites and from centralized social platforms.

This stuff is why we *need* the blockchain, nobody has yet come up with any other system that our tech overlords cannot control.

The fediverse, with its reliance on DNS and TLS, is basically no less immune to any of this than X, Facebook, Instagram or any other centralized social media service.

in reply to modulux

@modulux Kademlia/IPFS solve one specific problem (namely that of being able to download some data whose hash you already know), blockchains allow you to run any algorithm computable by a Turing machine.

THe problem with Kademlia and IPFS is that you need to know the hash of the data you want to download beforehand, and there's no way for the data's original author to distribute updates. There's also the problem of discoverability, there are no human-friendly names, so you need a centralized index of names to hashes.

in reply to Kuba Orlik

not a blockchain as far as I can tell, but solves the issue
in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba This doesn't provide *unique* name-value mappings and requires users to either manually add the hosts they're interested in or set up delegation. This requires either a lot of effort or centralization.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

isn't the same true for blockchain? Or for any decentralized service, for that matter?
in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba No.

A blockchain can provide a unique mapping of names to values. It's centralized in the sense that there's only one mapping and every network participant agrees on what a given name is mapped to, but decentralized in the sense that only authorized users (where the smart contract defines what is meant by "authorized") are allowed to change mappings.

THe reason such a system cannot possibly work without a cryptocurrency is that you need some incentive against scalpers taking all the names for themselves on day one. If names are completely free to acqquire, somebody is inevitably going to get all the interesting ones and then they won't be free to acquire any more.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

What happens when someone forks a blockchain and people disagree which one is the true one?

Also, how do you read the data from the blockchain? Do you download the entire blockchain to your HDD? Or do you rely on some intermediary who wraps the blockchain in a lightweight API? Who is the intermediary then? How do we trust them?

Also, what's supposed to happen when someone steals your domain through some hacky means? Then there'll be no way to get it back, it will be gone forever.

in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba Blockchains have built-in mechanisms to decide on how to deal with forks. This is why proof-of-work was originally invented, with PoW, clients always choose the fork with more work applied to it. Proof of stake and other consensus mechanisms provide similar guarantees, but require far less energy.

You can make a hardfork (essentially changing the rules of your blockchain), but then it's up to which client you use, if you use a client that respects and implements the hardfork, you're on the forked version, otherwise your client treats the hardfork as illegitimate and only uses the unforked version.

in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba re: reading the data, there are some designs for DNS-like chains that allow you to be a lightweight client with no need to trust an intermediary. Essentially, you only need to download the headers of each block (which are much smaller than the blocks themselves), you download the rest on-demand. Having the headers (which contain the block hashes) ensures that nobody can tamper with the block contents without your knowledge.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

and how do you verify those without going all the way down to the genesis blocks?
in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba You do, you have all the headers.

See Handshake's technical design for the juicy details. They've gotten a lot of things wrong, particularly on the marketing / grift front, as most cryptos do, but the technical foundations and ideas are sound.

in reply to Kuba Orlik

Imagine someone taking over your domain. No institution in the world is going to help you take it back
in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba Re: hacking, this is a fundamental dilemma, if your registrar has the ability to forcibly transfer your domain to somebody else, they can help recover it in case of a hack, but they can also disable it when their automated AI systems mistakenly flag it as suspicious.

There are ways to mitigate this problem. Handshake for example has a concept of "domain burning", if somebody steals a copy of your key and tries to transfer your domain to their own, you have some time (two weeks I think) to disable the domain completely, making it unavaiblable to both you and the hacker. This removes any financial incentives for domain hacking, as most people would rather lose their domain than have it go to a hacker.

There are also other designs where you have multiple parties that need to authorize a transfer. You could even design this in a way where you need a both your key and a registrar's key to transfer a domain to somebody else, but the registrar's key isn't allowed to make any changes to the domain without your express consent.

in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

> This removes any financial incentives for domain hacking, as most people would rather lose their domain than have it go to a hacker.

Not really, irreversibly destroying someone else's domain would be an incentive for many

That sounds like centralization with extra steps

in reply to Kuba Orlik

@kuba No, with DNS, a registrar is allowed to take your stuff down at any time with no recourse. With this design, a registrar is able to prevent you from selling your domain and/or slow that process down. This is bad, but far better than the registrar having total and utter control.

.wav or .flac is preferred and don't worry if you can't edit yourself, only capture, I can do that. Thank you.

I have opinions on this, but they are complex and nuanced, which doesn’t fit well on the Internet. Anyway, the discussion here is excellent. Everyone keep engaging on this topic. It is complicated and important. There are easy pat answers for individual, but not for the entire community of users.

- zoom controls in the article menu
- less memory/cpu by caching Gdk Textures instead of the raw encoded data of favicons
- a few fixes here and there

Gemäß @RKI@social.bund.de waren in den letzten Sommern um diese Zeit nie so viele Menschen gleichzeitig krank wie jetzt. Die #Corona-Inzidenz wird auf 600 geschätzt (von Hobbymodellierern höher - irgendwo zwischen 800 und 1.300).

Sämtliche Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen wurden im März 2022 beendet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass Journalist*innen nicht immer noch von "Nachholeffekten" schreiben, sondern mal endlich hinterfragen, ob wir ohne Infektionsschutz wirklich besser dran sind.
