@syzygy @stefano @jeffcliff @p @s8n >You do not have a mesh routing system for the current internet.

no but do you recognize that the following is CRIMINAL (from the OP, also repeated on this thread)

>Virginia plays a major role in this energy shift, with nearly half of all U.S. data centers located there—especially in an area known as Data Center Alley. Around 70% of the world’s internet traffic flows through this region each day. Dominion Energy supplies power to 452 data centers in Virginia, most of them located in Data Center Alley, and expects demand to increase by 85% over the next 15 years. AWS’s new SMRs are expected to provide at least 300 megawatts of power to the region.

@Suzu
>big tech is not 100% filled with retards and even they know that nuclear power is the best way to(...)

65% hedonist (which is a form of mental retardation in my estimation) and 30% cold out-of-control, too-big-too-exist abusers of the people and resources, theyve never seen an new shart phone or electronic devices they did want to cram more power grabbing, privacy invading anti-features, and dodgy chips into. them going nuclear is total hubris, as in, "everything can go wrong, but its only a 'small, modular reactor' that we can just dump in the ocean if it goes bad and until then we can just mine bitcoins for the govt and print money for them and us with nuclear." the other 5% is being able to identify what businesses they need to print money to buyoff to maintain 'market' control.

its a totally psychotic, they need to be stopped, even if this is about delivering more 'christlike ai' to the peasants, which i dont believe for one second, that is just the 'mass line', they can quickly turn around the next day and say we are just going to nuclear power our ddos attacks and mine bitcoins for govt, we need to say no to this power grab by big tech. its too much pwer. they have already dominated too many industries, we cannot let them have electricity too, and importantly, decide who in the data centers gets that electricity.

they need to be stopped (in march 2024 but failing that we need to lobby to stop them) now.

@jeffcliff @p @smallcircles on what parallel universe is nuclear energy considered "clean" energy with "zero emissions"? one where the narrative and language has clearly been co-opted by the corporate modern slavery purveyors, ie. bigtech and the military industrial intelligence media academia thinktank complex.

a result of years of indoctrination into a school of thought that #carbondioxide is the only problem.... a simple single problem for simple people....so sit back and let your corporate masters defile u now while saying they are serving you the godlike #AI you're told to crave.

@jeffcliff @smallcircles @p >of course the problems of nuclear comes with that, including political corruption here. Not sure what to do with that

nuclear doesn't work, its known NOT to work it requires violence and repression to even get by and it leaves in its wake violence and repression, we need to find real options that are long term sustainable, nuclear is not an option worth considering....ever.... it breeds problems and is totally unworkable in the longterm.

i'll tag u in something....one sec

Five year ago today in 2019 the '(not) federal' Reserve was printing about 10 billion per day becasue the banks we're not trusting each other in the overnight lending market.

this was called the #repocrisis (short for 'repossession')

#thefed never stopped printing the money, the repo crisis sort of just morphed into #coronavirus crisis in 2020.

@thendrix
>I was mentioning they might get the feet out from under the banks on their way out not that long ago. Wouldn't be that hard. :3

it needs to happen but with trump talking about ppl like jamie diamon and muskrochipped in charge, and with vance now at the helm, who owes his entire career to the lieks of peter thiel and the paypal mafia, its not looking good. i have very little faith that trump will pick good ppl to surround him.

btw i can't seem to be able to respond to 'private' messages on #bloatFE sorry (@silverpill @r . i can initially make them, but then i cant respond to them, the interface displays the error that "a narrower visibility is needed", or something similar.... i like the 'private' visibility because i don't believe that everything thats public needs to go in everyones timeline. no stress)

this is probably the most important paragraph in the suspected #nuclearlobby's public relations piece. #toobigtoexist #bds #unelectedmafia #moneyprintergobrr #fraud #massdecryptionchokepoint #antidemocratic #masssurveillance @p @mystie @jeffcliff @stefano

Did anyone hear about bigtech investing in #nuclear energy to supposedly power 'ai'? here's a supposed article that sounds like it's copy-pasted straight from the nuclear lobby's press release (you can tell because they write "clean energy" as opposed to "toxic waste generating energy that poisons children and placed in bombs to damag the #genetics of people in parts of the world bankers want to harvest").

Amazon bought a nuclear-powered #datacenter in march and now they are investing $500 million in "small modular reactors". The nuclear lobby must be thrilled that everyone seems to be too distracted with the election to even talk about this. This news from amazon came a day after google announced it has big plans to go nuclear over the next decade or so.

in case anyone needed another reason to boycott m$, amaz, and goog....

@stefano @jeffcliff @p @mystie when people say we need to decommission datacenters and replace then with ipfs or some better protocol (possibly something that is exclusively tor/i2p based and that maybe isn't developed on m$github), this is the sort of scenario we are want to avoid.

@stefano @jeffcliff @p @mystie maybe replace "<del>important</del>" with "revealing"

POLL: do webdevs know what happens when they tell a browser to fetch a css from, fonts.googleapis.com, typekit, or jsdelivr, do they realize the false economy of it? do they realize that google, akamai and cloudflare respectively will learn when people are visiting your site via things like the referrer header?

A yes, they know, dont care.
B they know but either in bed with googs, or scared of not appeasing googs
C no idea, they just think "FREE CACHE.... KOOL!"
D no idea, copy/pasted from another site or some corporate captured tutorial claiming a 0.2 second speed benefit, lol.

@p @silverpill @jeffcliff @feld >re rust and (A)GPL to BSD
I'll need to keep an eye on that

>ocelot/revolver
sounds like i may need to look closer :p

the reason i thought we could do it with ipfs was that it already was being used in i2p, but its only being used as a proof of concept at this stage.

@feld @p @silverpill @jeffcliff ok, very interesting to read these thoughts on the degraded state of IPFS and how unfit it currently is for use with fedi (in browser as an add-on and as a server).

it fits with my thesis that foss on m$github is getting slowly compromised, by the shell accounts that the corporate state have on that weaponized platform.... a controlled platform, at best, and a platform that deanonymizes devs, which is a way to control them at the very least.

Id consider going back to 2021 and looking at their codebase then, and comparing it to today, there were some very prominent independent media folk talking about IPFS back then and so i suspect that THAT is when the controlled demolition may have started. My understanding is once the corporates have their sights on a codebase they force the programmers to accept bad tradeoffs. Trade-offs exist everywhere, and permutations of tradeoffs can be chosen ad-infinitum. my learned experience is that foss on mshithub tends to not improve in ways that would allow it to compete with corposhit, especially in the #ux department.

to accelerate :butterfedyC: fediverse centric adaptations, just over a week ago i wrote about having #ipfs on another repo and i now, having read both your comments i think it may need to indeed be a fork. a week ago i suggested the acronym DCN (decentralised content network) a tongue-in-cheek reference/reversal of CDN....

so yeah if anyone wants to run with that idea, u have my blessing

#dcn #msgithub #getoffgithub

@stefano @justine TIL the alleged paragon of privacy, #duckduckgo, not only redirects visitors off their onion site when u visit it (at least it does with js disabled, which is the safest way to use #torbrowser), but ddg also have a separate domain (external-content.duckduckgo.com) for serving the little icons alongside each search result, and that is put through THE CLEARNET!! This means that if an entity happened to provide the guard and exit node then they can possibly track the user even if they are using tor browser!

oh and #ddg is served from #microsoft servers (m$ has military contracts so make of that what u will)

who wants succulent roasted duck? because im in my right mind to rake some burning hot coals over this duck, does it deserve to be lauded as highly as it has been. I say NO. Dear @torproject can u c this? do we need to do a call to action to help other search engines take pride of place in tor browser?

@Hyolobrika @jeffcliff @silverpill #privacy #bigtech #bigdata

@justine i don't know whether running javascript adds another step and maybe there was a malfunction in that step. i use tor browser (safest setting) and it disables any javascript, and it works. i must admit that i dont use ddg much these days tho so maybe it does redirection links from time to time, when it wants to learn more.

i HAVE found another set of concerning issues tho, that relate mostly to privacy.... they will be forthcoming

@stefano

@jeffcliff "is there an actual trick to telling a browser not to provide a referrer header in the (cross-origin) request"?

@sun @jeffcliff @icedquinn @silverpill @nimda before i go, i'll just say that it could be just a poor choice of wording... the 'property' "anonymous", seems to be about a particular way of sharing resources under a system called CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing). Basically using "anonymous" may skimp on providing identifiers that are even more revealing that the origin-domain (or origin-page in a non-tor browser), and (also in a non-tor browser) a viewers ip address, lol. Again, i suspect the word "anonymous" may be a poor choice for whatever its doing.

in my search ive not been able to find a decent resource yet that properly explains the CORS method of resource sharing. wasted enough time for today. do chime in if you have info though.

on a more serious note, do we need to formalize a standard method of adopting ipfs for resource sharing???

with fastly now quickly taking over our glorious :butterfedyC: fediverse (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, fosstodon, infosec.exchange) there has never been a more urgent a time to move forward with an ipfs method than right now, i would like to recommend that if a fedi persona likes or shares a post then that persona ought share that resource over ipfs, if they have the ipfs addon/server software active. This ipfs system needs to have provisions to exclusively connect over i2p or tor depending on which type of browser it is added to, a browser that appears to connect through i2p, should use i2p and create an i2p address automatically. if the browser is tor, create a tor address etc.

just spitballing here of course, i'm no expert on ipfs or activity pub. i do sense that something that can decentralize the content delivery, with as low a latency as possible, and with zero messing around for the end user, beyond installing an addon, and ipfs node software, as of growing critical importance for the health of not just fedi, but really the entire internet.

Dear tor browser and privacy-interested people, i have come across a curious website that tries to fetch a (css) resource not just with an integrity hash, but also anonymously.

eg.

bizarrely though tor browser seems to ignore the attempt at anonymity and offers not just a referrer header, but ALSO an "origin" header with the same info supplied as the "referrer"! so it doubles down on outing the site?

is there an actual trick to telling a browser not to provide a referrer header in the request, i realize its probably a bad idea and that the best thing to do is to self-host (or use ipfs) but am just curious.

everyone should be untagged in any subsequent post that doesn't directly answer the question... unless interest is expressed. thanks

@torproject @icedquinn @jeffcliff @lsn @neurovagrant @silverpill @thendrix @smallcircles

@sun @jeffcliff care to explain how?

@silverpill o ok, i'll need to try to understand why a hashtag didn't end properly 18 hours ago, then.
