  • The immutable data store is provided by IPFS and allows anyone authorised to retrieve cipher text from its hash through any Peergos node

    Built on top of IPFS. Finally something useful built with IPFS. Although that means it’s going to require a virtual filesystem to access stuff. Reading on, yes that’s WebDAV.

    Interesting. It also uses TOR for transmitting share requests.

    I’m… Intrigued, but IPFS is my biggest problem. Ever time it was used on my system it was a massive resource hog. It would kill a phone battery right quick.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing. This will end up I’m my bookmarks for when there’s time to test something again. If you have a github account,do add this to one of those “awesome IPFS” lists floating around. It could help.

    Cheers





  • This article again. Drew Devault is a shitstirrer that lives from drama. Painting Louis Rossmann as a nazi, white supremacist, or monarchy supporter is just misinformation and I’d go as far to say that it’s slander. He has thousands of videos trying to hold the state accountable, is nearly rabidly pro-privacy and pro consumer rights, and rails on and on about how shitty big tech companies are that have their way with their consumers.

    I happen to agree with FUTO: the opensource licenses are not that great. Open source developers should get paid and if that means the definition of opensource has to evolve, so be it.

    We should stop treating the opensource definition like gospel and quoting it as if it were a religious text. We should think for ourselves, not let our thoughts be dictated to us and then just go “this person said it, so they are right”.

    FUTO funds great software. If that came out of the pocket of Hitler, Stalin, or Mao, I’d be happy ad it means less money going to whatever evil main endeavors they have. If a monarchist spends his fortune on opensource instead of raising a monarchy, fucking good. Don’t stop him. Demand he spends more.






  • What a surprise. I makes me think of the US women treating Eastern Asian women who married western men like whores, victims, or gold-diggers. Many people think about the world locally, not internationally. They apply their ways of thinking to the rest of the world and have trouble understanding that what is normal for me isn’t normal for you (and vice versa). They have trouble understanding that things aren’t always as they seem and making a summary judgement about a person from a short slice of their life, which they can interpret wrong, does not a person make.
