@p @dcc @phnt @jae>Where do you think the routers are going to go?in a variety of strategic and convenient locations, and not (basically) all (70%) in DataCenterAlley Virginia, CIA>we should have more (diversity of communications providers)hail MARY, we have arrivedwe do need someone that can move a petabyte in real-time?i dont know bout "someone" and "petabytes" but we do need a resilient network of pipes, to shove i2p and tor traffic into, imo

@cereal @dcc @phnt @p @jae>that means "no Datacenters".agree.... i think the term #datacenters gaslights us into accepting an oppressive version of the internet, where we have to basically offer our machine to the govt or corporation that owns the "datacenter", to host a thing.... we should call them #datatransits or #routerCenters or something, no servers theirand then we have #servers at the end points, at the nearby businesses and homes and such, call me a dreamer, but i think "datacenters" are inherently problematic.

@silverpill @lsn i'm excited about possibly seeing freedom-respecting wifi and bios chips being more adopted in computers. there are other great projects and many know the ones i like but i cant fully utilise any of them until the hardware itself cannot hurt ppl.

@p @dcc @phnt @cereal @jae>The solution? Host it on a hidden service on Tor/I2P/whatever floats your boat. But now you alienated 98% of your possible site visitors/users of the serviceim an onion maxi and garlic maxi, the only clearnet traffic there should be is the transport garlic and onion routed stuff, imho. the internet is broken because corporates want to keep us tied to their 'clearnet'. do i think domain registries and CAs have no sustainable future, yes.>No, it's a place where people put their computersall u've described is a form of assymetric warfare on the people, govt (or large corporation that is govt contracted) maybe partnering with other corporates to house their stuff, ie govt sanctioning of who is allowed to have a voice. in its most extreme sense, and we are effectively at that extreme case already. u can reference "independent datacenters" til u are blu in face, i just see oxymoron. they can't exist, they are a phantom, an oasis, i don't believe any claims that independent, govt-sanctioned datacenters exist. the only ppl at a routercenter ought be telcos, and govt, doing the very most driest things of keeping the routing smooth and efficient, but it would be fine for them to communicate with ppl in the area about things that may impact connectivity from one month to the next. they can have a server in the routercenter for that but they cant host other entities stuff there that would be antitrust imv.

@dcc @phnt @cereal @p @jae heres an interesting viewpoint from Michal, that i read recently. i personally believe he no longer likes the ARCHITECTURE of the web, ie. the CAGeMAFIA-"datacentered' web, but hasn't quite articulated it in those terms. @mms?https://crys.site/blog/2024/i-no-loger-love-the-web/fraudian slip- "i no logger love the web"? :Pthe architecture imposes itself on us, tech is become a enslavement tool due to the architecture of (the computers and) networking, and it stops only when we put our foot down and start rejecting it. i find the best way to do this is with various blocking tools, DFCA via iptables, and uBlock and BCMA addons via firefox-based browsers. and probing tools like 'wget' (NOTE: u can route ALL dns (port :53 traffic) through Tor, anyone can do this via iptables fairly easily.

@r @nimda @silverpill @Suiseiseki @mms>anything posted by a remote user is going to be externalno often in fedi the server u are on will pull-in the content and serve it themselves, pleroma and peertube no(?), but i believe mastodon does and mitra definately does. i personally will shill the # DCN (decentralized content node) idea here because i think it opens up a win-win situation here, resilient and private.

@jae @dcc @phnt @cereal @p @mms> (NOTE: u can route ALL dns (port :53 traffic) through Tor, anyone can do this via iptables fairly easily.and i will say it isnt slow.... not one bit. it is absolutely magnificentIn my /etc/tor/torrc all i do to enable the DNS system is:DNSPort 5353Then in my iptables (in the -(t)able, nat) i get all 53s and REDIRECT them to 5353 and is wonderful i don't notice any issue. i think that @torproject must cache the dns themselves these days? (Ive just included them to ask them, but please untag them when replying if not related and maybe untag @mms also)Also pls untag me in any graf / 'sacred cow' stuff, but it sounds like this conversation is fixing itself now.>can you explain what cagemafia means?is an acronym... always suprised when i need to list the G.A.F.A.M.+C.e.I.A. see hashtag # CAGeMAFIA if u need

@helma What?! Goolg is evil?! why i never....im unable to view the above cloudflare site that u posted but will be on the lookout for a more ethical site talking about this. it seems like the guols at googl are trying to get all the bad news out of the way slowly in the election / festive season?october - announced investing in nuclear energy that will poison people and planet, an announcment that (scam)azon followed up with a day later, they say it is for "AI" but trump announced at the july bitcoin conference that he wants nuclear for "AI". if that sounds suspect then congrats and welcome to the resistancenovember- pokemon go, which googl serve was gamifying the construction of a large-geospatial-model (LGM) and we can "definately see" militaries buying and using our tech. Also a Googl/Niantic spokesperson said regulating military stuff "is hard",december- fingerprinting internet users (many of whom are now using tor browser to avoid their targeting) is fine

@helmamy #privacyTips to combat google and all C.A.G.e.M.A.F.I.A.Step 0) use GNU+linux and tor browser.... make sure to use tor browser in Safest mode, which disables javascript that is used to enhance #fingerprinting, Also, put the NoScript addon in your toolbar to regain the ability to enable javascript for only the pages u want, sadly the @torproject devs took the addon out of the toolbar and buried in away because they think people arent smart or patient enough to manually enable javascript with 2 little clicks. Prove them wrong.1) uBlockOrigin addon for TorBrowser (like TailsOS)2) blocking google tracking. In uBlock's My filters tab:fonts.googleapis.comgoogle.comytimg.comyoutu.beyoutube.comyoutube-nocookie.comgoogleusercontent.com3) (linux only) block googl, and all CAGeMAFIA4) (linux only) put all traffic on your PC through Tor (aka transparent torification. unfortunately the firewall rules on this page may not perfect.... you may need to tweak them) (reroute DNS and TCP through Tor)5) (linux only because M$oft breaks important functions) get the invisible internet protocol, a privacy network where EVERYONE is a node. You can host ur own website freely using i2p. Advanced users might like to try generating a 'vanity address' as an i2p address. Eg. lovemore43dunalzixucnfhtg...b32.i2pEnjoy the #privacy

@p @dcc @phnt @cereal @jae> No, I said "place where people put their computers".and i'm saying a govt sanctioned 'datacenter' and soon to be powered by nuke-leer energy owned by big tech supremacists, is a form of assymetric warfare, a fascist coming together of govt and megacorporation that will rule with extreme and brutal silent and assymetric hybrid warfare. we can agree to disagree forever til we are blue. or move on. but when govt and mega corporations meld like this WeThePlebs are dead.in many ways we are already dead, so this just makes us more dead, i guess

@phnt @dcc @NonPlayableClown @p @jaeddos attacks use energy so if the datacenters are now powered by ddos that gives them even more power and ability to wreck havok basically it also creates an assymetric environment for entities at the datacenter to have more domination over the end users. i'm only scraping the surface here, nuke-leer powered computers is going to be really bad. i have a pretty boring imagination and yet i can see all the ways it will make us more dead.trump at a bitcoin conference in july floated nuclear powered datacenters for "ai". hmmmmm. "ai" at a bitcoin conference. now imagine mS, goog, and amaz with nuclear powered datacenters that they are using their ill-gotten gains to invest in. the kleptocracy is in full swing my friend. we are too far gone, but this is total death, human race is over.

@p @dcc @phnt @cereal @jaei'll look at the top 500 "amazon-served" site at some point, i could disagree with the arguments raised but is not worth it. the people of the 1960s had valid concerns tho.>Well, that's gloomy, but I'd rather improve the situationwe are on life support is what im saying, comatose, dead, the life we see is borrowed, i want to resuscitate. gloomy, no. just accurate. we cant get to where we need to be if we delude ourselves.

@p @dcc @phnt @cereal @jaei dont know what else i can say, im going by my learned experience. a sober assessment is we need to be revived, because we have been made comatose. You can't fix this imv, by appealing to the lieks of CAGeMAFIA and the govt they will squash the alternatives. u say that there are indy datacenters, i dont see them, and honestly in today's world i wouldnt be able to trust them anyway. look at how many shell companies us, uk eu-backed israwl made to fool people they were getting a good device, when actually it was laced with explosives.How bad is it? We can't outsource the production of our computers, we need computers that are made BY the civilisations that will use them, this is how bad it has gotten. in the same way i dont see an alternative to having our computers under our control the whole time and not outsourcing to a third party, and especially not one poisoning people and planet.if you dont trust with your life, every person that walks into that datacenter u have a problem. this likely means there will NOT BE mega killer global apps in the future.... and good, those things have been fascist in every sense of the word 'fascist'.the architecture of how we compute things is going to dictate whether we can be revived.

hi frogzone hear! im still alivei realise everyone has probably forgotten me and with think, who is this spammer, but after 9 months without fediverse, I figured that i better login to explain myself.Basically near the start of the year two things happened at the same time to make it impossible to access fedi. Anyway Im enabling #javascript in a browser now to tell you this but i NEVER enable javascript in this browser normally and will probably disable it again, hopefully not for 9 months but this #distrohop is a BIG one, more like a distro-leap! @nimda it would really help if the #BloatFE interface was available over #i2p. @silverpil is there anyway to force a non-js experience, using a specific uri combo? FYI ive been recommending #mitra more in the meatspace lately, so heads up you may be getting more traffic??? or not.... lol@gabriel i LOVED ur interview on #corbettReport, it is disconcerting to see his non-acknowledgment of your interest in #fediverse. He has known about fedi for a long time and probably should have known better than to pump S.S. (i mean sCRubstack), anyway sorry to hear u were set upon by S.S. drones. I've been meaning to inform u that your libresolutionsnetork.i2p site is broken, it redirects to gabe.i2p, so i may be missing out on insights. i was enjoying your updates on ur health drive but havnt been able to keep upto date lately.The recent #openSource orgs sign onto the #unitedNations pact is super creepy. The last clause, ie. to do the bidding of the United Nations makes me a bit squeemish, just because we all saw covid, right? Even the other clauses about "diversity and inclusion" a nasty, and seem to require developers identify themselves, meaning no more anonymous contributions? i expect better from the #libreoffice folks that to sign onto something like this (i already knew #gnome were heading down a nasty path by their locked-down communication channels). My feeling is this is a result of the engineered #inflation ( #covid / #nft / #moneylaundering) crises means people are grasping at straws to maintain their income and status, forcing developers to accept ridiculous contracts. i dont know. Maybe im talking out a nether orifice. If i hear that everyone is plotting forks of LibreOffice and GNOME, it wouldnt surprise me.I'm also interested in what appears to be the lawfare-based extortion of archive.org, not able to research it lately. I bet a billion bitcoins (that will never exist, because bitcoin is capped at 21 million) that #archiveDotOrg no longer accept #bitcoin donations. AMIRIGHT? (i dunno again I might be wrong, i literally have not checked, lol but seriously they are partnering with the US government to be a repo of govt documents??? now???)The word of the day is '#SUSPECT'... and remember everyone, #iran is to blame for ALL OF IT. including of cause the genocide that almost everyone on fedi knew was a #genocide almost 2 years ago. Why would it take 2 years for people on corporate media pratforms to work this out.... INSERT THINKING EMOJIanyway there is so much to talk about and i will not be able to do it now. and will not be checking messages, because my connection is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad now. and i'll be here forever and die. so this is just a i'm still alive, just working thru technical coincidental problems.love you all, and hopefully i can be online proper, in the near future.#fedimeta #gnome #opendocumentfoundation @stefano

@gabriel great! im assuming that you dont check ur http request logs, i occasionally send short messages to webmasters with 404 and other weird requests. nothing DOS'like but repeated enough to stand out, lolbut now that u say pi, yeah i may have been the one to break it.... kidding.... ur prominent enough to probably attract much more nasty attacks than my dinky every-minute-for-a-couple-hours loop.
