You know, people complain about the Star Trek: TNG "one PADD, one document" thing, but I've never found it baffling. Yeah, of course they could have tabs, and they probably do. But multiple devices are a way to see multiple documents full-size at the same time, and certain commanding officers probably ask for multiple PADDs as a matter of course so they can spread them out and review them easily.

@noelle laughing about one padd one document is like laughing at a programmer who uses multiple screens, one to code, one to keep documentation up... Its practical and we do it now, so why wouldnt we do it with PADD

So I found this cool new tool that looks like a very new take on the idea of a blocklist, not really sure I can even call it a block list.

gui.fediseer.com/instances/det

As I understand it it does a few things:

1) Only system administrators can get accounts, but users can view the data

2) a chain of trust which in and of itself only proves you arent a spammer. Anyone in the chain of trust can add other instances. Once an instance is in the chain then their admin can get an account and contribute

3) an instance in the chain of trust can add up to 20 other instances to the chain of trust. Should the instance loose their trust from their parent then the entire chain breaks including instances it trusted.

4) You can add endorsements.. this is stronger than adding someone to the chain of trust. It is a way of you saying "this is a good server" and explaining what features make them a server you endorce

5) You can censure instances too, these are instances you block and give reasons why.

6) there are also lesser categories like hesitations where you can list concerns but not suggesting blocking.

7) All this can be automatically populated from your instances black/white list if you wish. Or you can add entries manually

8) you get a little badge you can put on your servers about me that shows the number of endorsements you have live.

I do highly encourage everyone to check it out.

@omnipotens

It was my pleasuure and well earned...

I suggest you consider paying it forward, feel no obligation to endorse us but if you feel there are instances worthy of endorsement or garuntees I humbly suggest you add them.

Either way, happy to help

@stux

Its basically a democratic/distributed block list/white list/spam list where people can both censure (block), hesitate (kinda like a warning I guess) and endorse (approve) as well as garuntee (say you know the instance isnt spam)... it can be set to sync with your instances block list but can also be manual.

I noticed your main instance is already garunteed, so if you claim it as the owner, then use it to garuntee your other instances, then me and you and others can endorse those instances.

@freemo @Tealk Thank for giving us a nudge.

I have claimed ailbhean.co-shaoghal.net - would one of you like to give me a guarantee, so that I can start guaranteeing others?

Thanks!

@gunchleoc

I JUST LAID DOWN TO BED. IF YOU DONT FIND ONE HIT ME UP IN A FEW HOURS, ILL HELP

@Tealk

@BenAveling

You claimed it doesnt happen. Only need one to prove you wrong and invalidate your argument.. why would i wastetime getting 2 or 10? Anyobe with two braincells knows there aremore examples than just this one in all of time and history. It was abserd you asked for one.

@Elleaster @ErikUden

@Tealk One thing though.. I think you only get the messages if you have claimed the instance... Since all these instances werent claimed and I just garunteed them anyway, I dont think they would have gotten notified. The bot wouldnt know how to reach them.

@freemo
Bring this up in the support channels, maybe they can change the channel instance. It should be an instance that does not block anyone.

@Tealk

Ahh that explains it.. botsinspace has me blocked.. (it was kinda messed up they blocked me then lied to me when i was trying to debug me and told me I wasnt... wasted most of a day only to find out later I was).

@Tealk I just endorsed you now too by the way. Thanks for the help!

@freemo
> Regardless I want to list it all here so the effected instances can be aware

But you do realize that every admin of the instances you guarantee gets a DM fromm fediser?

@Tealk Oh they do... no I didnt realize that.

When I got guaranteed and endorsed twice I did not receive any DM. I just checked now. If I had known that I wouldnt have tagged them :( Are you sure?

@trinsec The only way you could get more dutch is if you looked out the window and saw a field of stroopwaffel

@SpaceLifeForm As far as I know these databases keep data for a very long time, if not forever. I do know doctors medical notes expire eventually but I dont think these do.
