Here's a totally off-the-cuff pitch for the #p2p web: I just want to be able to load a webpage from a #bittorrent swarm by leeching, and then click an "I approve" button if it looks non-sketchy and I want to seed the page. I want to bookmark magnet links to make human-readable URLs and allow collisions between actual names/content to be decided socially (e.g. click to accept a new version of this page from this new swarm). I don't want a bunch of new protocols. No #crypto for domain names or donations. No vibe-coded corporate-sponsored AI BS. No #GitHub repos. Just give me the wild west with everything visible and no default seeding so that bad actors don't bother with it so much. Run it through a #VPN or something if you want privacy.

Should you ever be looking for information on a weird old plug or socket, or are just interested in such things, the online "Museum of Plugs and Sockets" is one of those sites that makes the Internet seem like less of a terrible mistake than usual.

The page on old British "BS 546" is unmatched, in particular: https://plugsocketmuseum.nl/OldBritish1.html

As we close in on the new year, will be doing a 2026 predictions of the #OpenSocialWeb.

Here was my predictions for this for 2025...Think i got maybe 20-30 % right based on a glance at it. And maybe 15 percent will have to do some research to see if I got close. Rest WAY wrong. https://www.timothychambers.net/2024/12/24/predictions-for-the-open-social.html

Will look over and evaluate it.

This is why blogging and the #indieweb is cool. To not loose things like this into the social web slipstream and see how such things changed over time.
