«There is no such thing as full decentralization»
There's always an axis that centralizes: identity, connectivity, discovery, or cost. The useful question isn't "is it decentralized?", it's which of these it sacrificed, and what that costs you the day that point breaks.

«Finger: the 1971 social network that never died»
It will surprise more than a few of you to hear that the first social network dates back to 1971; no accounts, no algorithm, no central server, just a plain text file you control.

What's new at Org Social?
- The Webmentions specification has been integrated. This means that when you link to an article or website, the author will be notified.
- The official website displays real-time statistics from the official Relay: https://org-social.org/
- The iOS app has incorporated many improvements, such as bug fixes and optimized asynchronous Timeline construction.
- Planet Emacslife, the most popular Emacs article aggregator, offers its own Org Social feed. Be sure to follow it!
And finally, I want to make a point. Currently, there isn't enough support to cover server costs, let alone Apple's subscription fee or development work. If you like Org Social and believe it provides value, please consider making a donation: https://liberapay.com/org-social

I would like to propose a simple alternative for announcing your Emacs Carnival article: publish one post in your social.org with the tag emacs-carnival, and you are in. Submissions can then be read from any Org Social client, a JSON API or RSS. No endpoints, no extra software.
I explain it here:

Weekly notes 22 2026
Weekly notes 22 2026
Writing the weekly notes after a long time.I am sad for the recent changes in Tamilnadu politics. Wanted to get back into life and keep things moving. Started to read books and hear music.
HiFi Walker H2 Audio Player
This tiny musical device is showing a new world of music. All the mp3 songs I have heard so far, are so fresh when hearing in this device.FLAC and WAV are the complete song formats, where the MP3 seems to give only 60% of the audio content.
If you have time, interest to enjoy good music, invest some money, get a music player with DAC processor and a good headphones. Then, you can live in a wonderland.
Wrote more about this here. https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2026/05/30/immersing-into-music-with-offline-flac-music-player/
Resuming French learning
My french course was stopped due to recent India trip. Reading the A1 course content again to continue. Hope will continue the course soon.Learning Go language and RAG
My friend Syed Jafer is conducting many online courses. Joined the courses for RAG and Go lang. Go is interesting language. With the simplicity and power, it can do all the backend stuff. Rewriting the python projects in Go is a good exercise to learn Go quickly.Thanks to my Chennai Linux Users Group friend Mohan, to push me to learn go. He has done many projects with Go already. I enjoy the go projects like gotosocial, hugo etc. I like the compilation into single binary and pretty formatting.
Will write on my learnings soon.

Recently, organized a 8 session online webinar session on “Architecture of Artificial Intelligence” in Tamil, along with University of Toronto, Scarborough Library and Kaniyam Foundation.Dr. Tamil Arasan did a wonderful job on the training. He explained the things with neat presentations. Thanks for him and his family for the great support throughout the period of 2 months.

I have added to the Org Social specification the possibility of having invisible posts for bots (`:BOT:`).
In this example you can see an implementation for playing chess with the `chess` package from Emacs.
