Yes I’m. 😁

Don’t get me started on all this Ai agents who are crawling the web and scrapping everything

2000% true. We will slowly move to a surveillance state. And we end up in the same list like North-Korea, China, etc…

I know who… all kinds of people in different governments government organizations like in the Netherlands these people: https://organisaties.overheid.nl/46813/mr_drs_HP_Schreinemachers/

He is head of Justice and Security Ministry.

Signal Foundation is indeed non profit… That being said OpenAI used to be non profit as well hahaha. And yes Bluesky is for-profit, just like X, Facebook etc.

its cost more money upfront, since companies need to invest money to build their servers/server racks. You can also still rent space in a data-center, without the need of building your own data center.

But on the long run, it can be much cheaper than constantly renting all the hardware. You can compare it to houses, buying a house costs more money then renting. But overall in the long run, you are normally better off buying a property (assuming you can of course… its just an example).

You don’t need block chain. They just can start to self host, instead of joining aws like every other company.

No sht that we only have 4 large cloud providers, it’s because all there customers are lazy and do not want to self host.

The article says; if they self host it will cost them billions of dollars.

But I don’t believe that at all. In fact, self hosting can be much cheaper on the long run.

This is the reason Bluesky apparently can scale so well, they use their own infra. Hack, I’m now sending this message from my own infra

Same software was used in the Netherlands on Appelpop.

No single entity owns all domain names. Instead, the domain name system (DNS) is managed by a “decentralized” structure involving several organizations and entities:

1. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers): This nonprofit organization oversees the global domain name system, coordinates the allocation of domain names, and manages the database of domain names and IP addresses.
2. Registries: Each top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, .org, or country-specific domains like .uk or .fr, is managed by a registry. For example, Verisign operates the .com and .net registries.
3. Registrars: These are companies accredited by ICANN or the respective TLD registry to sell domain names to the public. Examples include GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Google Domains.
4. End Users (You and me): Individuals or organizations that purchase domain names from registrars own those specific domain names, but they must adhere to the rules set by the registries and ICANN. And basically we just rent those domains from the registrars.

In summary, domain names are owned by individual registrants, but their management and regulation are overseen by ICANN and various registries and registrars.

To be fair. You never own any domain. That is why I need to pay monthly fees. Each domain name even dot Com etc are all renting.

Floorp is just cool

It’s indeed open source. No issues today.

Also it seems that your browser is still active on your computer called brave?

Exactly my point. Just share the actual wireshark log. You record a few seconds and then stop. And then share the log.

Just note that uBlock has multiple types of lists. You can so enable additional block lists like for privacy purposes. Etc.

A lot of sites depend on js too bad, disabling js all together will most likely cause you a lot of headaches.

I just use uBlock Origin with waterfox browser.

Just use uBlock Origin and avoid Google chrome and you are good.

I still got collabora NOT working with my Nextcloud server. I’m a tech savvy, so I don’t understand why it’s so hard to setup a dedicated office server and let it work together with Nextcloud. I tried both the standalone setup which should include the server as well as the manual server setup.

It’s no more doubting about myself, but the setup/documentation seems broken at best. Sometimes the documents just don’t want to open, while I did see the web office interface.

Agreed.

It doesn’t contradict by definition. So ipfs is also decentralized yet you will need to run a client /server. So the client is also the server. Allowing you to connect to a mesh decentralized system. Just like torrent is also both a client and a server.

The real issue with this is actually allowing bad actors having a free ddos network. And this ddos network is spread across nations and across all kind of legit IPs. No cloud ranges. Etc.

Meaning it’s very hard to detect or block.

Maybe it will survive firmware update. But of course it won’t survive flashing it with a new openwrt image.

WHAAAAA

Hence I also recommend bananapi for example with a dedicated sata connector or nvme connection.

I have a dedicated server running nextcloud. So basically what a NAS does as well, without the proprietary part.

The compelling reason is simple. I can move data to nextcloud that I want to have a backup of (the data is nextcloud is so again backed up, using 3,2,1 principe). Reinstalling my operating system (Linux) is also much easier, I’m not afraid I might lose photos for example.

And sharing. I use nextcloud to easily share the data I want to share. Either within the household or even outside of that.

Hopefully it will not ending up in a WW3 then.

true… but at the same time India is slowly following China & Russia in terms of their human rights, privacy violation and “open” internet (closed).

Sorry to hear about France. It’s really worse in France regarding your freedom online. Ironically.

Proton is also a great service.

India is bad

Nintendo once had to patch Tetris because players were stacking blocks so perfectly that the game started running out of pieces and crashed.

Do you want a lie? 2+3 = 8

You want the truth? Setup OPNsense firewall on your network. Add EasyPrivacy, EasyList, AdGuard List and other blocklists to the Unbound DNS service on the OPNsense server.

Then configure your DHCP to use the OPNsense router/firewall IP (eg. 192.168.1.1) as DNS server in DHCP provisioned computers on your LAN network.

This is how I do it and it’s an enterprise setup, which works and scales really well.

they are actually training on this data (potentially). Its a fact. Only if you use some kind of special corporate license then they will not train on the data. (and you need to trust them on that)
