Can We Get More Decentralised Than The Fediverse?

I guess that the [fediverse][fediverse] will be as decentralised as email: a bit, but not that much. Most people will be dependent on a few major hubs, some groups might have their own hubs (e.g. company email servers), personal instances will be pretty rare. This is in contrast to personal blogging, where every Bob can easily host their own (and they often do). I mean that's already implied by the name: fediverse is [a federated universe, not a distributed one][fed-v-dis].

Why does this matter? Well I like not being dependent on one entity, but I would like it much more if I was dependent on no entities at all. In other words, I like to publish my own personal blog and get all the goodies of a social network, without being dependent on other micro-blogging / social content platforms.

So in this writing, I'm going to:

  • ❓ Contemplate on why the fediverse gets federated not distributed (spoilers: its push vs pull)
  • 🧠 Ideate on how could we get a distri

A Node + TypeScript + ts-node + ESM experience that works.

The experience of using Node.JS with TypeScript, ts-node, and ESM is horrible.

There are countless guides of how to integrate them, but none of them seem to work.

Here's what worked for me.

Just add the following files and run npm run dev. You'll be good to go!

Remote, Office Not Require - summary of points that stood out for me

Remote, Office not Required https://basecamp.com/books/remote

1. If I can't see them, how do I know they're working?

(pg 54) People have amazing ability to live down to low expectations, or live up to high expectations. If there are trust issues with employees, then the employer made poor hiring decision. Employer/Employee trust is fundamental.

2. People’s homes are full of distractions

(pg 58) being easily distracted from work could mean the work is not well defined or the task is menial, pointless. Might be a chance that if someone feels like this, others on the team might feel the same.
