"Urbit is made to blossom into an endless garden of human cultures, each of which must regulate itself, none of which can bother the others."

What the internet has become is no "garden". Urbit is trying to change the default internet user permissions from slave to master. Its ambition should be applauded, here of all places, especially with its hacker ethos.

I searched "Urbit" in the HN archives. The old discussion is still relevant for a project as long-term as this, and the more recent you get the more Urbit is misunderstood or attacked simply for being different.

Years on from the first announcements this hugely ambitious project is finally showing real-world practical application that is already superior to the alternatives in some dimensions, and with great potential for growth. If you're sleeping on this it's like sleeping on the Bitcoin whitepaper. The dimensions for the future of computing are being hashed out in front of you.

A congratulations to everyone involved.

Thanks for the tip. I supplemented with many things after ending the fast, to be safe, including glycine which looks like a component of glutathione. I have not been sick or ill since mid-2019. I am still fasting often and believe it to help my immune system.
