We shouldn’t expect bodies and companies that benefit from centralization to give us crumbs. Remember IPv6 global multicast? ISPs killed that on sight. We need to get encrypted mesh networking (Yggdrasil, CJDNS, FIPS etc) out there before i

The comparison doesn’t even make sense. Reddit is a centralized platform, not a protocol. I won’t say it’s impossible to censor something like nostr but good luck with that.

I’m using nix for managing npm dependencies in a project and it seems like I accidentally got some protection from these attacks because of the nix sandbox. Looks like I got more than I begged for.

Oh I see plenty of people complaining but only a few are willing to try another platform like nostr or mastodon or whatever else. “I don’t want a solution, I want to be mad”

If AI writes your code, why use frameworks?

If people spent 5 minutes googling decentralized alternatives to stuff they would realize they don’t need to build anything, just pick something and use.

No, email is federated, what he described is clearly p2p.

by yangm97 4mo ago
Have a look at Keet, it’s a p2p IM app, works on mobile and desktop, behind NAT and all. To be honest it’s not even the only app in this game. It just seems like nobody cares about these things until the frog already boiled.

Siri fell behind because the bean counters at Cupertino didn’t want to spend on it, this is well documented and has nothing to do with privacy.

It should be possible, they issue CPF numbers even for tourists if you want.

Unrelated note but, cheap/midrange phones are a scam, you almost always get better value purchasing a second hand premium one.

Guess it’s a bit of both. Whenever I said “this is a website, not an app” I would get confused looks from designers. UX people fight some of the BS, but “looking pretty” usually wins over “being useful”.
16.
by yangm97 5mo ago
That’s because designers stopped caring about following each platform’s guidelines because they want to spread “brand recognition” or some shit like that.

That doesn’t answer the point I’m making. If the instance your account was made on explodes, YOU lose your social graph, wether some of your posts survive cached elsewhere is not relevant, your account is gone, and so are your connections.
19.
by yangm97 5mo ago
This is half true. If mastodon.social goes down every single one of the accounts made on that instance go down as well. In truly decentralized protocols you own your identity and can take it elsewhere, for instance, in Nostr and SSB, a rela

Nostr has the highest count of AI boosters per square meter I’ve ever seen, yet nobody seems to be DDoS’ing that.

Sounds like you’re describing Umbrel.

Have a look at Odysee, it is a decentralized alternative to YouTube, not just a frontend, and some YouTube channels are mirrored there already.

It used to be the case that placeholder files were very obvious but now OneDrive and iCloud (possibly others) work more like an attached network storage with some local cache, and that was a good move for most programs because back then a f

You don’t see ZFS/BTRFS block based snapshot replication choking on git or any sort of dataset. Use the right job for the tool or something.

Self-hosting a registry is objectively “less bad” than relying entirely on docker hub but, unless all your Dockerfiles start with `FROM scratch` you’ll still need access to Docker Hub to pull the base images and their updates, and that’s tr

by yangm97 5mo ago
Maybe it’s time to reflect upon the reliance on centralized services? Not long ago docker hub started rate limiting access and we all turned to blanket solutions like the GitLab registry cache. I wonder if the IPFS distributed docker regist
