Oh they are back up again!

What do you think, could this have something to do with the recent problems as IA? Or, is it possible at all that this is an error at the IA?

yeah, but hardware support and buggyness is still a question

google’s fuckery would burn me out too

Clarification: syncthing was not discontinued, only the (3rd party) most popular android app for it was.

Unlikely. The maintainer was pushing updates more frequently and sooner than the original app. it’ll be fine

Otherwise, look into cryptomator. A completely different approach, it makes use of your existing cloud storage accounts, but at least more private then using those directly. It probably requires internet access all the time a file is accessed, though, but check the docs to be sure.

yeah, VLAN interfaces and other kinds of virtual interfaces can also be used. I think you can even have multiple “sub interfaces”, that will receive distinct IPs from the local DHCP server

I don’t think they even know that there’s a possible choice. Common people don’t understand computers, not at this level.

Cars is a good example for another reason. Do we have new cars without a built-in internet connection and continuous user (and environment) tracking, and questionable remote control functions? Afaik we don’t.

oh! last time I checked it was still just a feature request. This is cool, thanks!

I could only find this in the documentation of it, though, so probably it’s being kept quiet for a reason: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/contributor/federation-architecture/

the state of it can be tracked by looking at these issues and these blog posts

but users would, for the most part, not tolerate removing the ability to boot any OS they feel like, so there’s enough pressure that locked shit won’t migrate down to all consumer hardware.

what makes you think that?

forgejo is like github copy, and is a fork of the relatively known gitea. so far there are no federation features

radicle is something similar, but as I understand, with distributed repo management. I don’t know the implications of this.

radicle also has an own cryptocurrency, and is entangled with web3.
while not all cryptocurrencies are scams, and probably the same applies to web3 projects, almost all of them are either scams, or useless for the purpose of using it as a currency. I don’t know how the radicle currency fares, but it made me distrust them somewhat when they started talking about that in their announcement channel, and the fact that since then the channel did not post much else did not help to gain back this trust

I guess giving you less control over your device is an improvement for them, otherwise their service wouldn’t be obliged to destroy self serviced phones

another reason for doing that 8s that inotify is not guaranteed to tell about every change. I think it’s in the inotify or inotify-watch man page

solely? I guess that’s quite far because a lot of other, equally or more important features are still missing

FIFA only cares about maximum profits, when was accountability important to them on any level?

Anyone who knows networking could detect new device connections on an open network they set up.

assuming that it will connect to your network. if it connects anywhere else, good luck to figure it out. at that point you can throw a laptop with capturing all nearby wifi traffic and hope you somehow recognize the TV if it appears among the possibly dozens of other devices

Lots of claims this is happening

I don’t know of this is happening, but I don’t see how a small automatic updare couldn’t “add this feature”

Considering how easy it would be to catch,

how easy it would be?

It’s (actually) funny being put that way, especially the last one. well they are active in the Monero community too, so there’s that. maybe they’re just hyped for it. I mean I was excited too for the first purchase I made with Monero, but yeah, this above might be another level

because cash is issued by the government, or central bank, and is therefore shit

sorry, I don’t follow your conclusion. Except if you are afraid of price manipulation, which I understand, but that should equally affect your money stored at the bank too

my reasoning is that we already have it, and it’s already widely accepted as a valuable, while it’s basically untraceable and so private, and also cannot really be selectively revoked or marked “dirty” as it is with shitcoins (yeah, I called bitcoin a shitcoin)

I’ve read about Aeon a few months ago, and it seems very nice, but I wish I would have jotted down what made me not consider it because all I remember is that there were a few
