Just scheduled the next @spritely office hours for 6/25. These meetings are *your* chance to chat with the Spritely team and community. You can ask questions, share a project you are working on that uses Spritely tech, or just listen in!

See our forum for details: https://community.spritely.institute/t/next-office-hours-on-6-25/728

Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll experiment with Spritely Goblins, a Guile Scheme library that provides a distributed programming model for writing secure, asynchronous code that can be called either locally or across a network.

Let's try it out to see if it might be a good fit for the Spring Lisp Game Jam next week!

The people at #Spritely have a project called #Goblins that implements object capability security.

It's implemented in Guile (also Racket), which can be learned quickly by eager students, particularly since you only need a subset of the language to play with #Goblins

To prepare for the "star wars' empire and allies" next move against this nice and friendly community? shouldn't we do a threat model based on attack scenarios of what could be (cyber)attacks against our masto communities: How to protect mastodon servers from being shutdown by third parties? How to secure them further? How to distribute them further? How to use tools like veilid, cwtch, spritely or even more commercial ones like storj to continue exchange the files and be capable to scale quickly up or move quickly from A to B in case of third Party disruption of URLs used by activitypub at CDN/DNS level? How to enhance comms so that they can resist specific targetting of specific information diffusion? How to make the new free social network resilient to any dictature controlling the internet communications (DNS, CDN,...) and using automated AI driven content scanning searching for forbidden words? How to secure its supply chain and ensure that the codebase cannot be suppressed from GAFAMs controlled code repositories?

Maybe some of the good questions for FOSDEM 2026, crypto/steganography communities and for beer discussions everywhere amongst EU and US liberty and democracy defenders?

How to protect freedom of speech and trustable secure communications for "we the people" in democracies and ensure they cannot be disrupted?

Time to show that hackers, cryptographers, real cypherpunks and strong techies of today can even do better than the old ones of the 1990s to defend their liberty to think, exchange and love in democracy respecting everyone. New generation, go for it and the oldsters, well support them with what you learned from life after all these years.

A blog post written to get my head around #guile #hoot and #fibers, based on my 2024 December Adventure:

The folks at #spritely were really patient and helpful. I am very grateful for the excellent feedback I received from Dave Thompson. Many thanks to this team!

Any corrections and/or clarifications are really appreciated.

While it is still early days, I think the #spritely software stack is really promising!

During the @spritely fundraising campaign, we promised that we'd thank our Diamond, Gold, and Silver tier donors in the credits of our demos/games. So, we just published an update to Cirkoban (our game from 2024) that "backports" our supporters into the credits! Thanks to @amy for rewriting the credits sequence code to make this possible.

Spritely office hours happening today! see our forum thread for the details! https://community.spritely.institute/t/next-office-hours-on-2-26/678/1 #spritely

video for my FOSDEM talk "Minimalist web application deployment with Scheme" is now available

Three groundbreaking projects reshaping the social web through community fundraising:

As I only superficially read about #spritely over the last year based on what I saw go by here in my timeline, I took a #fosdem gamble.. I went to the documentation talk by Amy, and the talks today by David, Juliana, Jessica and Christine.
What a grand vision it is!
Time to help hack the planet, social worlds await!

Brillant lightning talk^W performance on (#ActivityPub and) Spritely Goblins by @cwebber and @tsyesika
#FOSDEM #fosdem25 #Spritely
@spritely

Orgmode witchcraft at #spritely !
#FOSDEM

Finally got around to trying #Codeberg. They didn't force me to provide a credit card and they do sha256!

Testing the waters with my latest project, an #OCapN implementation in #Rust. I'll share it when it kinda does something but I already have that #Spritely syrup format implemented.

Working on netlayers now.
