Are there any fediverse apps where the bulk of the processing, the rendering, and the authoritative datastore are all on the client? In other words, where the server does almost nothing but forward messages to clients and other servers, and minimizes storage on the server?

This structure seems necessary for a privacy-centric app, in order to minimize how much a user needs to trust their own server and possibly other servers. E2ee will help a lot, but it would be even better if servers didn't store who all our follows and followers are, for example.

Just brainstorming on how to get to a fediverse app with good privacy. I wrote a non-AP app like this with a simple UI, but I'd much rather take an existing fediverse app with a well-developed UX and modify it as needed. So that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any ideas!

How when AWS was down, we were not | Authress - Knowledge Base

Nothing can have an unlimited uptime. But even when AWS and other hyperscalers are having incidents, we've created an architecture that is resilient to those outages. Here's how we do it for Authress.

Check out some of the latest Embedded Swift Improvements Coming in Swift 6.3!

Read the blog post here: swift.org/blog/embedded-swift-

Embedded Swift Improvements Coming in Swift 6.3

Embedded Swift is a subset of Swift that’s designed for low resource usage, making it capable of running on constrained environments like microcontrollers. Using a special compilation mode, Embedded Swift produces significantly smaller binaries than regular Swift. While a subset of the full language, the vast majority of the Swift language works exactly the same in Embedded Swift. Additional information is described in the Embedded Swift vision document.

Some time ago i was wondering about what the Mandelbrot set would look like if you used split-complex numbers \((j^2=1)\) instead of regular complex numbers. Turns out it's BORING. It's a SQUARE. Some points do still exhibit some interesting behavior when iterated, which is nice at least.

People are using iPad OS features on their iPhones

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

How to Enable iPad Features like MultiTasking & Stage Manager on iPhone via MobileGestalt - iDevice Central

The newly released itunesstored & bookassetd sbx escape exploit allows us to modify the MobileGestalt.Plist file to change values inside of it. This file is very important since it contains all the details about the device. Its type, color, model, capabilities like Dynamic Island, Stage Manager, multitasking, etc. are all present inside that file. Naturally,

For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:

5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)

There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.

Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.

There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

I never noticed this until today. At the very very end of our Q&A session, the Cooper Hall editors intentionally overlaid this specific song with this specific lyric, where the fair use song cutoff time limit makes a dramatic point: "without love..." (end video) "where would you be right now?" 💛 youtube.com/watch?v=ouwlIHkXCw
