We need to transition smaller communities away from it so that no one has to go back

It clearly doesn’t work

Problem #1 is geometrically impossible to solve

I love it

We really need a stronger mentorship culture in general

“Are we the baddies?”

Agreed. Or locked bootloaders for that matter

That’s what these evil people want

Nothing, it’s good. There’s FUD to get you not robust it

There was one instance of the white house using signal on the down low to evade records retention and then got caught because they accidentally invited a journalist to the houthi bombing group chat, bit that’s a user error

What if it’s so expensive no one buys the bonds for the debt?

With the collapse of the petrodollar can America even afford to?

it’s refreshing to see real internet community

It really goes to show no little of the abuse we suffer is inherently the Internet’s fault. Lemmy feels like the reddit I knew and loved of 15 years ago. Sure there’s some assholes I argue with but that’s the normal amount of shittieness not the turbocorpo abuse

The internet is the only reason I survived

I’ve had low level SI since I was a teenager

This is why mesh vpn technology is so exciting, all of the nonsense that we’ve developed to cope with broken Network standards that develops because ipv4 didn’t have enough addresses to accommodate the end-to-end principle just melts away. Tailscale works wonders for me, And the technology is only going to get better from there

The way networking has developed is honestly embarrassing. We shouldn’t have to have cgNAT or any of the other problems that come with how we’ve broken the end to end principle, and it’s made us reliant on centralized Services when there’s absolutely no technical reason why that ever had to be the case

I can’t wait till meshvpn technology becomes so common that we forget what life is like without it. Tailscale is awesome but it is just the beginning

I never really understood intuitive as a description for user interfaces. I remember back when opinion articles on Tech news websites would use that term to mean it “looks and functions exactly like Windows XP”

Jellyfin is the solution if you have a media file on your computer and you want to stream it to your TV in a different room and Bare Bones works fine. It serves my use cases for a lot of things pretty well, but for hardcore self-hosted streaming Plex still has more features and polish
