<h1>Books list</h1>
<p>@siiky

2023/01/25</p>
<p>These are the books that I'm reading, have read, or haven't read. You may find many of them on Gutenberg and/or Standard Ebooks, and some of them in the care list. If I don't forget, I'll link to their sources. Though less common, if I have a page dedicated to a book of this list I'll link to it instead, like I did with How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">Gutenberg</a></li>
<li><a href="https://gutenberg.net.au">Gutenberg Australia</a></li>
<li><a href="https://standardebooks.org">Standard Ebooks</a></li>
<li><a href="../care/list.html">Care list</a></li></ul>
<p>For some of them I don't have a good link so I may use a not so great one, like to Goodreads. Sorry in advance. I'll mark them &quot;DUB&quot;ious as a warning.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you find any of the links not working.</p>

<li><a href="https://nitter.net/ErikVoorhees/status/1616160532150775808">Someone just sent me this:</a></li></ul>
<blockquote>
<p>Behind the scenes, ShapeShift DAO has been building something called Arkeo.</p>
<p>It's a decentralized backend for nodes.</p>
<p>If you've ever thought, &quot;sucks that everyone uses centralized node infrastructure like Infura...&quot; then you'll understand what Arkeo is solving.</p>
<p>ShapeShift decided to build this because it ran into this very problem: how can we be a <em>truly</em> decentralized app when we're calling blockchain data from centralized node companies?</p>
<p>If your node provider can shut off your access, it ain't permissionless. Arkeo is.</p>
<p>Arkeo works by incentivizing independent node operators to run arbitrary nodes on whatever chains they wish. Someone could run a Bitcoin node only, or a suite of nodes across multiple chains.</p>
<p>Services that consume node data pay for that data (@infura_io is great... but they can censor you: they're centralized).</p>
<p>With Arkeo, all such services now have a permissionless alternative.</p>
<p>The entire project has been DAO organized and funded.</p>
<p>No VCs own it
No corporate entities control it
It ain't &quot;based&quot; anywhere</p>
<p>The revolution will not be centralized. Enjoy!</p></blockquote>

<p>Gee, wouldn't it be fuckin' A if we didn't need to trust any one single entity to interact with a distributed network?!</p>

<p>Este é o meu primeiro post em Português (de Portugal!) desde que comecei a escrever aqui há cerca d'um quarto de dúzia d'anos. Em geral escrevo em Inglês porque m'é mais natural (dado's tópicos que m'interessam e o que costumo ler). Até já escrevi em Japonês antes de escrever na minha língua materna! Porquê este post em Português? Primeiro, p'ra mostrar que não há só Inglês e outras línguas germânicas aqui no Gemini. Segundo, acho que faz sentido e vai ficar bem ao lado do Espanhol (Castelhano?). E terceiro, p'r'experimentar esta escrita falada!</p>
<p>(Já'gora, não sei Espanhol e não usei nenhum tradutor, é bem possível que tenha entendido mal algum(ns) detalhe(s) lol)</p>
<hr />
<p>Ao começar a ler este post, quem me conhece dev'achar que só vou dizer merda da religião, &amp;c. Tenho ideias/opiniões/pontos de vista que se podem dizer um tanto extremistas no que toca à religião. Mas este não é esse post, surpreendam-se!</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Da aprensión volver por al camino que todos han abandonado. Exagero, pero la convención social parece reducir la religión a la ceremonia y cuentos del pasado. Hablo desde España; quizás en otros lugares tendréis otra experiencia.</p></blockquote>
<p>Iss'é exactamente o que noto em Portugal também. Falando por mim, que não sou religioso nem apoio a instituição religiosa do país, acho q'é uma boa tendência mas ao mesmo tempo uma faca de dois gumes: por um lado, é bom que tenhamos deixado as superstições e crenças injustificadas associadas à religião; por outro, a população geral na verdade só trocou de conjunto de superstições e crenças injustificadas.[^0] :/</p>
<p>O que parece que vejo é q'as pessoas em geral usam a religião p'ra parecer que são religiosas e portanto boas pessoas[^1] -- fazem tatuagens de cruzes, de terços, do rosto de Jesus co'a coroa de espinhos, de Jesus na cruz, ... -- mas n'hora d'agir e mostrar que são boas pessoas, nem vê-los![^2] Se tiverem de berrar e insultar alguém só porque lhes passaram à frente na fila berram e insultam; ou s'um mendigo lhes pedir dinheiro p'ra comer ignoram-no[^3] (sorte a dele) ou até o insultam (&quot;vai trabalhar que te faz bem&quot;); &amp;c, &amp;c... E deixemos a pedofilia p'r'outro dia também...</p>

<p>A primeira parte (tentar mostrar que são religiosos) acredito que tenh'a ver co'a cultura popular e desportista de cá: p'ra melhor ou pior, futebol é de facto O DESPORTO do país. E o que se vê mais num jogo de futebol são os jogadores a dar graças a Deus ou quê... Sim, deveras, se marcast'um golo foi porque Deus te deu'ma mão... Ah não, não se podem usar as mãos no futebol! Um pé, deu-t'um pé!</p>
<p>A segunda parte (não mostrarem co'acções que são boas pessoas) talvez porque ninguém quer saber de nada? Tud'é normal e trivializado. Mas não posso falar muito sobre isto...</p>
<p>Resumindo, deitámos fora's partes estúpidas mas também as partes menos más.</p>
<p>O Yretek escreveu:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Las preces son el momento donde predomina la oración de petición, son parecidas a las de la Misa, y acaban con el «Escucha Señor, nuestra oración» --o algo de ese estilo. En los demás momentos predomina la meditación y la alabanza. Se quiere estar con Dios y escucharle. Solo eso.</p></blockquote>
<p>S'é p'ra fazer que se faça bem![^4] Especialmente a meditação e tentar &quot;estar com Deus&quot;. Não basta ir à missa ouvir o padre, há que ter empenho e levar os rituais a sério. Pensar sobr'a vida, sobr'o que fizemos e fazemos no dia-a-dia, como nos podemos melhorar, ...</p>
<p>O Yretek escreveu:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Se tarda un tiempo, pero mucho menos del que se malgasta en otras cosas peores.</p></blockquote>
<p>Acredito e bem. Mesmo não sendo religioso e não acreditando num'entidade superior, acredito q'esta prática empenhada traga bem-estar a longo prazo. E isso acreditando ou não em Deus, tendo ou não fé. E o tempo q'uma pessoa desperdiça no telemóvel ou a ver &quot;notícias&quot; que não interessam nem ao menino Jesus[^5]... Não há desculpa.</p>
<p>O Tolstoy (em &quot;A Confession&quot;) tentou recorrer à religião (Ortodoxa Cristã, se não m'engano) mas não foi a &quot;solução&quot; p'r'ele. Talvez não se tenha empenhado a sério, ou então só não tinha a fé necessária, dado q'era um realista. De facto, no fim o que lhe &quot;faltou&quot; foi conseguir justificar a existência de Deus. (Pessoalmente, a justificação do Descartes não me convence...)</p>

<h1>村上 春樹、「夜中の汽笛について、あるいは物語の効用について」</h1>
<p>siiky
2023/01/06
2023/01/15</p>
<p>何月か前に「New Penguin Parallel Text: Short Stories in Japanese」という本を買った。昨日やっと最初の話を読んだ。</p>
<p>意味はわかったと思う。英語の翻訳の一つ二つの細かい点にすれ違うが、大体いい。日本語の書写は全部で次に書いてある。その次は英語。</p>
<h2>日本語</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>女の子が男の子に質問する。「あなたはどれくらい私のことを好き？」</p>
<p>少年はしばらく考えてから、静かな声で、「夜中の汽笛くらい」と答える。</p>
<p>少女は黙って話の続きを待つ。そこにはきっと何かお話があるに違いない。</p>
<p>「あるとき、夜中にふと目が覚める」と彼は話し始める。「正確な時刻はわからない。だぶん二時か三時か、そんなものだと思う。でも何時かというのはそれほど重要なことじゃない。とにかくそれは真夜中で、僕はまったくのひとりぼっちで、まわりには誰もいない。いいかい、想像してみてほしい。あたりは真っ暗で、なにも見えないな。そして僕は突然、自分が知っている誰からも、自分が知っているどこの場所からも、信じられないくらい遠く隔てられ、引き離されているんだと感じる。自分がこの広い世界の中で誰からも愛されず、誰からも声をかけられず、誰にも思い出してももらえない存在になってしまっていることがわかる。たとえ僕がそのまま消えてしまったとしても誰も気付かないだろう。それはまるで厚い鉄の箱に詰められて、深い海の底に沈められたような気持ちなんだよ。気圧のせいで心臓が痛くて、そのままふたつにびりびりと張り裂けてしまいそうなーーそういう気持ちってわかるかな？」</p>
<p>少女はうなず���。たぶんわかると思う。</p>
<p>少年は続ける。「それはおそらく人間が生きている中で経験するいちばん辛いことのひとつなんだ。ほんとうにそのまま死んでしまいたいくらい悲しくて辛い気持ちだ。いや、そうじゃない、『死んでしまいたい』というようなことじゃなくて、そのまま放っておけば、箱の中の空気薄くなって『実際に』死んでしまうはずだ。それは『たとえ』なんかじゃない。ほんとうのことなんだよ。それが真夜中にひとりぼっちで、目が覚ますことの意味なんだ。それもわかる？」</p>
<p>少女はまた黙ってうなずく。少年は少し間を置く。</p>
<p>「でもそのときすっと遠くで汽笛の音が聞こえる。それはほんとうにほんとうに遠い汽笛なんだ。いったいどこに鉄道の線路なんかがあるのか、僕にもわからない。それくらい遠くなんだ。聞こえたか聞こえないかというくらいの音だ。でもそれが汽車の汽笛であることは僕にはわかる。間違いない。僕は暗闇の中でじっと耳を澄ます。そしてもう一度、その汽笛を耳にする。それから僕の心臓は痛むことことをやめる。時計の針は動き始める。鉄の箱は海面へ向けてゆっくり浮かび上がっていく。それはみんなその小さな汽笛のせいなんだね。聞こえるか聞こえないか、それくらい微かな汽笛のせいなんだ。そして僕はその汽笛と同じくらい君のことを愛している」</p>
<p>そこで少年の短い物語は終わる。今度は少女が自分の物語を語り始める。</p></blockquote>
<h2>英語</h2>
<p>翻訳者はMichael Emmerichで、タイトルは「Concerning the Sound of a Train Whistle in the Night, or On the Efficacy of Fiction」。</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The girl has a question for the boy: &quot;How much do you love me?&quot;</p>
<p>He thinks for a moment, then quietly replies, &quot;As much as a train whistle in the night.&quot;</p>
<p>She waits in silence for him to go on. Obviously there has to be a story there.</p>
<p>&quot;Sometimes, just like that, in the dead of night, I wake up,&quot; he begins. &quot;I don't know what time it is, exactly. Maybe two or three, around then, I'd say. The time doesn't actually matter. The point is that it's the dead of night, and I'm totally alone, not a sould around. I want you to imagine that for me, okay? It's completely dark, you can't see anything. And there's not a sound to be heard. You don't even hear the hands of the clock, ticking out the time -- for all I know, the clock could well have stopped. And then all of a sudden, it hits me that I've become isolated, that I'm separated some unbelievable distance from everyone I know, from every familiar place. I realize that no one in this whole wide world loves me anymore, no one will talk to me, that I've become the kind of person no one even wants to remember. I could just disappear and no one would even notice. I feel like I've been pushed into a box with thick iron sides and sunk way down to the very bottom of the ocean. The pressure is so intense it makes my heart ache, I feel like I'm going to explode, to be torn in two -- you know that feeling?&quot;</p>
<p>The girl nodes. She thinks she knows what he means.</p>
<p>The boy continues. &quot;I think that's one of the most painful expereiences a person can have in life. I feel so sad and it hurts so much that I wish I could just go ahead and die, seriously. Actually I take that back, it's not that /I wish I could die/: I can tell that if things go on in this way, the air in the box is going to get so thin that I really /will/ die. It's not just a /metaphor/. It's reality. That's what it means to wake up all alone in the dead of night. You still following me?&quot;</p>
<p>The girl nods again, saying nothing. The boy lets a moment go by.</p>
<p>&quot;And then, way off in the distance, I hear a train whistle. It's really incredibly far off, this whistle. I don't even know where the train tracks could be. That's how far away the sound is. And it's so faint that it's right on the edge of being inaudible. Only I'm certain it's a train whistle. There's no doubt about that. So I lie perfectly still, in the darkness, listening as hard as I can. And then I heart it again. And my heart stops aching. The hands on the clock start moving. The iron box begins to rise up, nice and slow, toward the surface of the sea. And it's all thanks to that little whistle, you see. A whistle so faint I could barely hear it. And the point is, I love you as deeply as that whistle.&quot;</p>
<p>With that, the boy's brief story is over. And the girl begins telling her own.</p></blockquote>
<p>もう言ったけどまた言う。大体いい翻訳だと思う。</p>
<p>だが！「少女」と「少年」の「好き」って、本当に「love」と言う言葉なのか？少年は「愛している」と最後に言うが、それなのに「好き」はそんなきつい気持ちではないと思う。だから「love」より「like」にすればよかったんだろう。</p>
<p>それより、ちょっとダサい気分するな｡｡｡原作はこんな気楽な恋物語じゃないだろう？</p>
<p>なのに、鉄の箱の部分は最初はよくわからなかった。でも英語で読んだら「あ、そっか」と。</p>

<h1>So you do like beer after all</h1>
<p>siiky
2023/01/09
2023/01/09</p>
<p>I had a dream that continued the timeline of another dream I had some days ago, like consecutive episodes of a series. This is the first time it happened to me I think.</p>
<p>I was in an open space, at night, palm trees around and many lights, some kind of event, many people were around, almost like a festival or something of the sort. The place was somewhere in Asia (not because there were specific features I can point out to, but because it was a dream, I just know alright?). A guy crossed paths with me and asked if I didn't like beer, or why I wasn't drinking beer, or something like that. I replied that I don't much appreciate beer. He gave me a dark, almost black, beer bottle, the label was black, and it was in Thai or similar (so I assume I was in Thailand). I gave it a sip and indeed not that bad, nothing like the crap I tasted in real life...</p>
<p>That was the other day. Today I was again at that same place, again at night, decoration was much the same -- palm trees and lights, very tropical-like -- and a multitude of people too. And I happened to cross that guy again. But this time I had one of those beer bottles in hand and he just rhetorically asked &quot;so you do like beer after all?&quot;</p>
<p>And then the dream quickly de-railed into weird shit: pepper shakers have wholes not only at the top but also on the sides of the metal head so that mosquitoes can get inside, while salt shakers don't so mosquitoes don't get inside those. Why that would be relevant or interesting I couldn't possibly know.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_and_pepper_shakers">Salt and pepper shakers</a></li></ul>
<p>Curious question: while reading the above, what ethnicity did you mentally assign to The Guy?</p>

<h1>On Gemini mentions</h1>

2023/01/09</p>
<p>I don't know all the context because I'ven't been following Geminispace life but I noticed this thing about &quot;mentions&quot; today. Some of the relevant posts roughly in chronological order:</p>
<ul>

<li><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gmi.bacardi55.io/gemlog/2022/02/28/why-did-i-work-on-gemini-mention">(Gemini Portal) Why did I work on gemini mention</a></li>
<li><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/idiomdrottning.org/gem-mentions">(Gemini Portal) In which I slag on the Gemini mentions proposal for half an hour</a></li>
<li><a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gemini.conman.org/boston/2023/01/06.1">(Gemini Portal) &quot;The street finds its own uses for things.&quot;</a></li></ul>
<p>I didn't take too much time reading everything in detail, but &quot;Why though?&quot; is also my thought.</p>
<p>I certainly won't be using it. For one, my capsule is hosted on SourceHut, so I couldn't use it even if I wanted. But most of all, I don't see the point. I know that if I had something like that, something others could use to let me know they'd linked to a post of mine, I would get FOMO and that's not cool. I understand this is very individual, maybe you get peace of mind by having this system giving you the latest mentions and whatnot, that's alright. For me, &quot;what if someone replied but didn't let me know?&quot; would be at the back of my mind too frequently, I can smell it. And that's another reason to ask &quot;why though?&quot; If your RFC, that you wrote for yourself, requires others to adopt it to be useful to you, then it's not much use, I don't think.</p>
<p>If anyone replied to, or wrote about, any of my posts in these (not so) recent times that I've been away from Gemini, I missed those. If such a mentions/notifications systems existed it's likely that I would have seen them. I would get the notification and feel the urge to read and reply. But there's a reason I've been away from Gemini -- time's been scarce around here and, unfortunately for me, it's not because I'm so very cool and have a life :'( With those notifications in place, I would either not resist the urge to read and reply, or, worse, resist the urge but feel bad about it. &quot;Preso por ter cão, preso por não ter&quot;<a href="lit.">^1</a>...</p>
<p>(Sorry to anyone who wrote about/replied to any of my posts expecting a reply back; I have at least one email to reply to about my Overpass page; you know who you are, sorry...)</p>
<p>bacardi55 wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Because I feel like it is painful to go and search for someone email on a capsule, or find a pseudo in an IRC channel. Many capsules don't show any contact info at all. Maybe some don't want to be contacted, maybe some other prefer not to put these type of data online and would prefer a more &quot;discreet&quot; type of solution.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you want to be reachable, cool! I do too btw, that's why I set up a contacts page and a public ML. Though as you say, maybe some don't want to be reached through those other means. Maybe they use Gemini so they don't have to use those other means?</p>
<p>&quot;Setting up&quot; a contact means, even something as simple as a contacts page, is a conscious effort. Let's assume for a second that everyone in Geminispace wants to be contacted directly through some medium outside Gemini about their Gemini content. If they didn't take the effort of setting up something as simple as that contacts page, what makes you think they'll start adhering to your RFC, which is much more involved?</p>
<p>A possible counter-argument is that they don't want to be contacted outside Gemini but would still like to be contacted through Gemini (or at least learn of what others are writing about their own writings). That's fair. But how hard is it to scrape a handful of pages? That's a non-question, it's not that hard. With a wget/curl-like Gemini client, pretty easy[^2]; and you don't even need to do that yourself, see e.g. the gemrefinder CHICKEN egg by snan (different kind of approach). But hey, it's even simpler than that: Cosmos, an aggregator-like capsule that organizes pages in threads.</p>

<p>Some other aspect of this thoughts is also centralization. I like Antenna and Cosmos projects, and I'm using them on everyday basis. But I realised that they slowly go beyond being a content aggregate. The scattering of content, which was the initial state, also had some effect on all of Geminispace. The content were like that &quot;capsules in the space&quot;, not distorted by any strong center. If you are interested in some topic, you will finally found it. Now content start to orbiting around that projects, which start to have some impact on it with a promise that this place gives the most appropriate / relevant / full content.</p></blockquote>
<p>A good argument against relying too much (or exclusively, one could say) on aggregators, but this RFC doesn't seem to me to be the best approach around them -- indeed, it doesn't seem to be &quot;around them&quot; at all -- let alone the simplest. Something simpler has floated around in the past I believe: we use word-of-mouth, we each of us keep our own lists of feeds and interesting capsules, we share our lists with each other publicly, we encourage browsing the Geminispace and chance encounters. With these lists I doubt it would be hard to keep a personal aggregator with better &quot;coverage&quot; than the centralized aggregators we have. Having said that, of course I won't stop using Antenna, Cosmos, Callum's gmisub, etc, I sometimes find new capsules through these aggretors. But I don't rely on them, I keep my own list of feeds (that I don't currently share publicly, shame on me).</p>
<p>Another thing I think would be cool is if more people kept a reclog (&quot;recommendations log&quot;). That way, not only can we &quot;follow&quot; what others are reading, we can find interesting capsules we didn't know about before and read interesting posts. And it's really simple to keep, too.</p>

<p>In the end, this is basically it for me.</p>
<p>Reading back what I wrote it may give the impression I'm bashing on bacardi55 or others supporting their RFC, but that is not the intention at all! I'm trying to argue that we don't need such a system, that's all.</p>
<p>&quot;arrested for having [a] dog, arrested for not having [a dog]&quot;, meaning roughly that no matter what I do the result is unwanted. One of these days I should start a dictionary page of PT idioms and expressions... There's a good idea for others of other countries! :) I know there are French, Swedes, Germans, Spanish, Swiss, Americans, Finnish, Russians, Serbs(?), etc around here!
