Technically it’s an open protocol. Whether or not any other implementations will surface remains to be seen.
My point wasn’t so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.
Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?
couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?
The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.
It’s been this way for at least a decade.
Watch detective Pikachu and it might help.
I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.
I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.
DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).
Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.
Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.
It seems irrelevant whether this person is using encrypted channels if they failed to maintain anonymity. If they distributed material and leaked any identifying info (e.g. IP address), then it would be trivial for investigators or CIs to track them down.
You can’t configure an immutable distro by a sequence of mutations.
Isn’t that literally how ostree works?
You should say “unstable channel”. It’s literally just a rolling release that pulls from the nixpkgs
master branch. So it’s only as stable as it needs to be to pass the Hydra CI tests.
And if you get to a working version, you can pin that as a Nix flake to avoid anything breaking until the next time you nix flake update
.
So we’re reinventing scp
now?
Only because IPv6 and self-hosting are not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone’s home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.
Awwwww there goes that plan.
They have that in Chicago.
