why can't we have federated identity ?
  • But do we need some kind of SSO layer with DID verification? All I need to prove my identity anywhere, technically, is my private+public keypair. As long as I hold on to this keypair, distribute it between apps/computers, back it up, I could log in anywhere on a federated platform and use it.

    I hope we're going to see key-based decentralized identity on ActivityPub at some point... Having accounts tied to instances is just not very robust or scalable.

  • What guitar picks do you use, and why?

    I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

    Recently I'm gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I've noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

    What types of picks do you use, and why?

    My „Partinez“ - some kind of partscaster
  • Ah you're right, I had assumed since it was a humbucker the two rows would be aligned straight, but now I see the coils are in line with the strings as they should be. Fascinating guitar OP. Nice work.

    Why Is Desalination So Difficult?
  • "Practical Engineering" is a fantastic channel. I especially appreciate all the infrastructure failure analysis videos he has done. It let me (a non civil engineer) understand why certain infrastructure disasters like collapses, power outages, or dam breaches were able to occur.

    Tracks like Jeddah are more dangerous than Spa, says Verstappen after fatality · RaceFans
  • Max is probably right but that doesn't make Spa (my favorite track!) "safe". Two deaths in 4 years is very unusual for modern motor racing. Something needs to be done with Raidillon, like automatic instant yellow flags whenever a car leaves the track.

    Or maybe a speed limit through Raidillon in the rain makes sense.

    What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway?
  • Not sure how unpopular it is, but "The Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary" is a great remaster of a game which I think is a bit forgotten now. It's still a really fun and charming citybuilder with unique mechanics.
