Isn’t Gemini a transport protocol? It can transport binary data and text data. Wouldn’t it be easy to send JavaScript? If there’s a browser on the other end that supports JavaScript, it can be executed.
But setting up even a simple HTTP server is a lot of work.
How so? python3 - m http.server and you’re done. The text can be read even by CLI browsers that don’t depend on javascript.
Or do you have some other scenario in mind? Does Gemini support SSL?
I honestly don’t understand how this protocol can protect anything HTTP+HTML wouldn’t. If you build a browser that supports modern web technologies using Gemini, we’ll be back at the same spot. The only thing saving the protocol is its relative obscurity. A decicated and knowledgeable Dev could abuse it any way they like, no?
Hopefully this also means monetary investment in open source, not just open source usage without a support contract or contributing back. Matrix is a great example of an open source project that is being used by governments but struggling to get paid because governments are employing their own support staff and making internal forks.
But the more governments, agencies and individuals switch, there greater the chance they’ll pay the developers and maintainers for support or features.
How is it possible that Huawei is the third biggest phone vendor and most apps still have trouble running without Google Services? I thought they were not able to come preloaded with Google Services for a few years and that they have many customers outside of China. Are all those customers just limited to Chinese apps?
I’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
My problem isn’t the hardware, it’s that the place I’m moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.
My problem is that I’m moving in the not so far future and I don’t know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it’ll be worthless due to encryption. But if it’s in somebody’s datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I’d have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.
I’m considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I’m not sure they’d be up for it.
How would you solve the problem?
Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?
As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There’s also starlabs byte.
Take your pick :)
What are you talking about? Are you saying sealed sender is a lie? If so, I want some proof.
There is a lot of FUD here. It’s just like anti-vaxxers claiming vaccines make you autistic or have microchips in them: they don’t understand what they’re talking about, have different threat models, and are paranoid.
Messages are private on signal and they cannot be connected to you through sealed sender. There have been multiple audits and even government requests for information which have returned only the phone number and last connection time.
Nothing “derailing” us. Not everyone has the same threat model. The messages are private and that’s what’s most important. Signal can only provide phone number and last connection time to the feds. If that’s too much information for you, then you’re not the target group and have a different threat model.
Are you seeing spam on signal? Do you even know why spam is possible on phone networks and what the difference is between phone networks and the internet?
Very likely that the people involved in the deal were corrupt. It wouldn’t surprise anybody if they got a nice sum deposited into an offshore account, a free house, expensive art, or whatever else is used to hide corruption.
Unfortunately the opensource community is heavily disorganised. We don’t have a group to represent us, market opensource, push for its use in public office, fight for compensation for maintainers and developers, and so much more. A concerted effort could possibly accelerate adoption and make it possible for more people to earn a living from opensource, not just the lucky few who can do it in their free time and transition to a paid/funded position.
Why do you believe windows is required to stay connected with the world? Are there specific applications you believe can only run on windows or for which you believe there is no alternative?
Just in case, you can have a look at https://alternativeto.net/ , input your windows application and find opensource alternatives that run on Linux. You can make a list and double check with the community here.
I ask because there might be a possibility for you to go full Linux. It depends on your requirements.
When they were bought by a Chinese company.
How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.
Sorry @jonny@neuromatch.social. I was being a hypocrite and an ass. I’ll try and be more constructive with my feedback.
Good luck on the project! I hope that it will be a success!
@jonny@neuromatch.social I want to like this, but the repo and website do not convey this fundamental information about the project
The repository only has deployment notes.
The webpage has:
It doesn’t mention “tracker” anywhere and only mentions “bittorrent” once.
Please consider people who:
Ask yourselves who the target audience is and maybe even state it on your webpage.
Lastly, it’s probably too late to change the name and it’s a matter of taste, but making it a homonym to PsyOp make me immediately think that this has a connection to anti-vaxxers, chemtrail believers, flat-earthers, illuminati freaks, and just conspiracy theorists in general.
Maybe I’m the only one thinking this, but as it currently exists, the project feels very much like the old-school C projects that assumed you were “in the know” before even arriving at the website or project. It does not make it inviting - at least not to me. It may be a completely false impression, but it is my impression nonetheless.
all hail lynx
