My #NixOS #setup. Even when I #ported it once to #another #machine, I #forgot to add the #user #password. So I kind of went into a #ghost user #session. All i did is #reboot and chose previous #generation corrected my #config and that's all. No need for #backup, #rescue #disk etc. I corrected my configs, now it's truly portable. All my setup is #rock #solid #stable and never #broke it though I use a lot of #unstable #packages. #Nix and #NixOS are just 🔥 ❤️

@tastapod inspired me with his #JoyfulCoding based on cupid.dev practices. Focus less on formal #SOLID principles. Have more fun.

This Joy of Coding notion led me to expand the concept to be #JoyfulCreation.

After all coding is social and countless people are involved in getting results that fulfills our collective needs.

This is what the future #SocialWeb will bring. #CommonsParticipation 💪

Joyful creation is where fediverse allows us to ✨ social code the social code together.

Yes, I've always thought the future of the social web in a technical sense would be both federated and p2p i.e. 'hybrid decentralization' as I call it. It would be great if we had autonomous clients where our personal data resides, in this set up, so we are in control. This is amongst others the direction that #ActivityPods takes, combining #ActivityPub and #Solid linked data standards.

Trying #Solid pods right now. Failing. Signed up at #Inrupt's #PodSpaces. Somehow can't use it to login into Liqid Chat, doesn't give me a pod URL. Tried signing up at inrupt.net instead. "Registration closed" once you sent the form... Got a pod at solidweb.org instead. "Unauthorized" when trying to log in with it. solidcommunity.net shows errors on its register page...

Finally managed to log into the PodPro app with Inrupt's PodSpaces.

I guess some apps aren't super well maintained?

What I'd really like to see is BlueSky modifying their AT protocol to allow AT relays to treat ActivityPub servers as Personal Data Servers. Maybe by using aspects of the Solid protocol, as demonstrated by @activitypods?

No idea if this is technically viable, I'm just thinking out loud here. But just imagine unifying the efforts of AP, Solid and AT developer ...
