@rek2 Well it is better than the cypherpunks mailing list, which has devolved into spam and name-calling and endless crank.

@beardstack I just signed up to find and share info on mixnets and anonymous protocols, and the first post I see in my feed is this one!Lokinet is like Tor on steroids. Siblings like Ygdrassil, I2P, Zeronet, and IPFS are creative attempts to ameliorate some problems with mixnets and addressing. I too find it all very interesting. Lokinet needs more users to boost the unmasking resistance. I recommend the FAQ for starters for anyone already familiar with Tor Browser: https://lokinet.org/

@beardstack The barrier to entry is high for mere mortals and the toolchain uses too many components IMHO. I know of nobody doing a serious code audit.

@jeff "Lokinet was created to satisfy these irrational urges." https://lokinet.io/I know the urge. When it hits me I *must* design a new primitive to get it out of my system for awhile. I'm eventually going to publish all of them but I must write papers for them first.Lokinet is a good idea. I'm going to set it up when I can find the time to read all the docs.

@tenet @jeff @tprophetPIMP vs. SIMP psyop?Brave New World vs. Feudal World?I am tired of YouTube and google putting MGTOW, incel, Sigma Male, and pwnd Karen videos in my suggestions feed. It's like they are trying to socially engineer a new Brownshirts Brigade to cause further tension between men and women.They create a false dichotomy of only two choices: PIMP vs. SIMP. Most women I have ever known don't want to keep company with either of the two options being engineered for them.

@jeffWhere is the manual and whereabouts on the screen do I click to make the thingy work? ;)I don't even see build instructions in the repo. Oh, well, foot gun time.

@jeff @tenet @tprophet The get rich quick schemes and "male enhancement" ads go hand in glove with all the relationship nonsense being sold. It's like they want to get you convinced you need to be a Giga Chad, then offer to sell you the tools that will turn you into a Chad machine. Someone is making a mint somewhere in there, although I can't figure out how.

@AmishSuperModel Every political grift and despot scheme is done in the name of public safety. If you think the rulers care about the people's safety you're either naive or working for the rulers.

@jeff @waitnwallflower How dare you presume that I am human! That is more baddy than assuming pronouns. I'm species fluid. Today I identify as the number 3.

@beardstack @jeff I think Docker used to be a sort of wrapper for LXC and has gone another path with its expanding feature set.LXC is great for fine-grained control over many elements of the system. LXC is especially strong if you are doing complex network shaping inside or between many containerized applications and want it all locked down tightly with remote administration features. I don't think Lokinet is complex enough that you _need_ the level of granularity that LXC provides. You just need to make sure any potential zero-day in the jailed application doesn't escalate to your RAM or filesystem or tty devices.Something simpler would be Debian Jailkit or Firejail, set up under a new user account. Jailkit is a bit more work than Firejail but not a ton more. You can even write a Firejail calling command and just invoke it with shell using the parameter switches you want. Create a systemd service stub or init script to run the jailed app on boot and respawn on failure.

@textfiles The name for such a team needs a bit of gravitas. I'm thinking of single syllables.What about: > ARCH FORCE < 𝝮𝞈Then you might choose a logo such as a bow, or arrow, or a pen with feather fletches, or a rainbow bleeding ink. Something simple and silly?

@jeff In USA there are the patriotic precious metals: lead, brass, and blued steel. You can't eat gold or silver, but with patriot precious metals you can catch dinner on the hoof. A $1.00 ingot of patriot precious metals can put an entire moose or elk or bear in the freezer. That is a mighty return on investment. As a bonus, patriot precious metals help keep uppity gangsters off your lawn.

@jeff 'Scaling up' is the Murrican way. Investing ostentatiously is giving thanks. So many just don't understand. 'Go big or go home' is a granite way of showing love and awe for the things that matter, the things that build up from small to big. The 'big boss', the 'big guy', the 'big guns', the 'next big thing' are ways of showing gratitude for the things that got us to where we are.

@jeff @anornymorseIt is a bit more complicated. The left and the right serve the same master. The dialectic is neoliberal sodom being force-fed to your children, versus a dominionist theocracy of self-righteous hypocrites pretending to love Jesus (they love power). Events resemble what the rulers did in Europe during the Weimar Republic collapse. The synthesis was a 'positive christianity' which killed 100 million Christians. The Hegelian dialectic is afoot.

@jeff @anornymorse One national turkey vulture has a left wing and a right wing. What's the vulture capitalist eating? Murrica pie.Men are hacking at the branches of evil instead of the root, as Thoreau or Emerson or one of those transcendentalistas wrote.
