I tried IPFS before, but computer fans were running wild, and your IP + location are being exposed to the entire world for as long as you run the daemon.
And updating your website on IPFS is a pain in the asshole too.
I know there's an IPNS too which is more suitable for websites, but still comes with all the other problems.
As I said a week or so ago, why do we need IPFS if we already have BitTorrent?
Get yourself a juicy steak, and relax dude.
Just make sure you're aware of the fact that there's only 2 genders: male and female.
Every other """gender""" is fantasy. https://social.076.moe/url/253172
The reason why I'd put I2P over Tor here is because of the address book feature in I2P, so you can have something like "xianc78.i2p" rather than "xianc78weiod9fjhf98owrejuf9803wujt90834wujfg089oerj890gj89e0i3w4orjg43werjutfg09rujg09euj098tgeuj908tg90r.onion".
People are so accustomed to easy to remember domains, I can't see anyone going to remember Onion addresses, not even nerds like you and me.
In the past, the deal was "you give me money, and I give you what you want".
Nowadays, the deal is "I'll milk your wallet dryer than dry, and you have no right to bitch about it".
Denuvo is the SoystemD of video games.
Say no to censorshit, say no to DRM!
DRM and censorshit are the reason why piracy is growing, or otherwise everyone refrains from playing a game.
Last time I flew overseas (back in 2019), which was the last time I flew at all, I could only spot power sockets and USB sockets.
Some of the newer Shinkansen, limited express train, and long distance train (but 1st class only) models have a power socket too these days.
Back in early 2000s everyone had the same mindset, and look at where it brought us.
Back then we all thought "let's bring normies to the internet, that would be awesome, finally our hobbies will gain attention!", then we finally let normies in, and soon after that shit like Fakebook, Discuck, Goolag whatever etc started accumulating as much power as possible.
Now we have a new case study in the making for those who missed the early 2000s train, which is right here on ActivityPub of all places.
More and more corporations, governments, big name people, and so on are joining in, and already there have been plans to bribe Gargeon (which has fortunately failed so far, but then again it took quite a few tries for WhatsApp to be sold out too), already we saw people mass-reporting like if it were Shitter, which fortunately some instance owners managed to push back against, and we'll likely see way more attempts at a hostile takeover as the protocol continues to gain more media attention.
And I should add, none of the Fedi protocols had these problems when it was still a niche network that all the big tech users and media still made fun of.
Same with the clearnet even; back in the 1990s to mid-2000s the internet got attacked for being "a hub of criminals" or "literally drugs" or "a place for total losers to cope", then the normies came in, and all of the sudden it became "the place to be for everyone".
The one difference between then and now however is that now we have a past example of how it ended up if we failed at gatekeeping, there was no knowledge on that yet 2 decades ago.
I always bring my X200 and portable WiFi router with me while on the go.
As much as I distrust SIM card based WiFi hotspots, I distrust public WiFi hotspots even more.
It would have been fun if you could plug in an Ethernet cable in public spaces, but considering that everyone on the go uses WiFi, that's probably just part of fantasy land.
> There is also the most powerful single-board computer from Pine, maybe that's an option
You mean the Quartz64?
I have that thing, and I can't recommend it.
Those niggers have been developing it as snail speed (or even slower) for 2 years, and they still can't figure out how to get the HDMI port to work, the very port that's already on the fucking board!
Yes, I just mean that as they continue to destroy the internet, more and more people will move to the darknet.
Just like how John McAfee put it; if criminals use something first, it's a matter of time before it becomes mainstream.
The downside of making the darknet into the mainstream is that they will start moving their digital warzone underground as well, though they will have to find other ways of destroying the darknet as it's harder to know where the server is located, and anyone can just host from wherever without requiring anybody's permission at all.
Which is why I'm rather worried about bringing DNS to I2P (I talked about it earlier this year I think), because one of the reasons we prefer I2P over clearnet is exactly due to a lack of DNS.
There are individual FLOSS people here, but oftentimes all working in isolation from one other, mostly underground, and it's rather tiny.
Even then, it feels like all the bigger names are all just foreigners who either are bilingual Japanese + something else, or don't speak the language and just rely on their wifes (or husbands) for translation, and occasionally you'll get actually monolingual people too.
Compared to most other countries in the world, even with everyone included the FLOSS scene here is extremely tiny.
And anyone trying to actually compete with the long established proprietary bloat will get stopped in some way.
I bet that if one day XMPP or Session (or something else) would gain too much attention, then Naver (the Korean company behind LINE) will bribe the government to either make propaganda against their FLOSS alternatives, or make it as hard as possible for those to even appear in any media.
Sounds to be very far fetched, but if Nintendo can create a collective of AAA companies to destroy the internet, I mean fight piracy, then this might be a possibility as well, and just frame FLOSS as a piracy.
