Aha! Touche! Indeed, I am using brew's curl ("/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin/curl"). That's why; the one at "/usr/bin" connects just fine (facepalm).

No, no, I meant it to show that the machine is running the current/latest macOS, and the results I am getting from curl on the two URLs.

Indeed!

  On Mac, some command-line tools included with macOS or the Xcode Command Line Tools (including curl, git, python3, ruby, perl, and openssl) check certificates against /etc/ssl/cert.pem. For certificates that chain to a root CA certificate in this file, these tools don't check Apple's block or whether the certificate has been revoked. This file will be updated in a future macOS update. If you use these tools and don't want to wait for the update, you can remove root CA certificates from the file.

Running (uname -a) Darwin arrakis.local 27.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 27.2.0: Wed Oct 14 23:47:07 PDT 2026; root:xnu-13432.41.4~25/RELEASE_ARM64_T8132 arm64, I get the following for both:

    curl: (60) SSL certificate OpenSSL verify result: unable to get local issuer certificate (20)    
    More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

    curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
    establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
    how to fix it, please visit the webpage mentioned above.

Looks like every post is a commit that needs to be approved by someone (they show as “pending"). How can that scale?

Doesn’t Iroh rely on relays? If so, is it possible to run my own?

Indeed. It akin to an application for a .local TLD.

It would be awesome to be able to create these. If author is around, would you consider a creation tool as well?

I love the canvases, and truly would like to have a bit more inside on the process this specific author used to reach the results shown. I have read Surya's "Training AI to Paint with Code" but, what's Alice's technique?

That’s an old screenshot, which should be redone. We switched to :, so, it is now nick:example.com.

You can link servers (Libera, for example, has many), but they are not federated, nor decentralised (services are used for registration, etc.).

The idea (what's encouraged) is that's so simple you can run it yourself. If you email me (email on profile), I can create an account for you on mine.

I am not the owner of the project, I just use it. Federated rooms have no owners, there will be no collisions (they would simply merge). Nicks are tied to their own servers, and hence unique and will not collide.

Sorry, I am sure it is the HN effect.

Bans are per server (for what I have seeing). Federated rooms continue to exist if a server drops off, as no server "owns" them.

That is always a concern, yes. You can block users, and entire instances, that spam.

If you (top and child commentator) want to try without running your own, please send me an email: david dot collantes at gmail dot com.

Yes, you will need to know someone running an instance to create an account for you.

Parley is a chat network with no centre.

Every person (or team) runs a small instance for their own domain. Instances find each other through DNS and well-known identity documents, exchange signed messages over HTTPS, and present the whole federated network to ordinary IRC clients such as Lurker, Mango, mIRC, WeeChat, Textual, etc., without the need of any plugins.
