100%. I think the developer taking the project read only was not a temper tantrum, it was just them signifying they don’t have time to maintain it. So now if you want anything to happen you must fork it.

I think it’ll generate 5 days converted into seconds number of operations.

To decrypt however, you have to do all those operations, so I think it would take 5 days to decrypt. Even if you wait 10 days to start the operation

This seems interesting. But for something so complex I would really like them to have a white paper to see how they achieve this.

https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/189 Other systems, for instance, use a third party network to broadcast the parts of the secret that are needed to decrypt over time. So you’re relying on a third-party service, and if that third party service disappears you can’t unencrypt

From a showrunner perspective, you want to have a diverse set of sets, activities, and situations you can perform in. That leaves you either with wealthy characters, who can justify doing these things in these exotic places. Or poor characters who behave wealthy inexplicably.

Ie friends where people working dead end jobs had housing better than most millionaires.

For privacy promoting group, they want to know a lot of centralized information

Should we examine your profile?

Your username here is blow me, how is your dating app presence?

Are you putting up any red flags, without realizing it?

No, I’m pretty f****** loathe.

Governments dictating technical standards, is fine if it’s a regulatory body that’s dynamic, but bad if the technical standard is encodified in the law itself.

In the United States the American national standards association, as well as other bodies, set standards, and the government can dictate that you need to use a standard for mainstream device. That’s fine

But a lot saying you must use USB-C, that’s crazy. USB-C has a limited lifespan. Plus they’ll be innovation in the future.

I use tinder, it’s been really good for me.

The key is to use the app that is popular in your location.

Attitude is a huge factor, think of it just like meeting random people, maybe having great discussions, maybe having an excuse to go to event with somebody, having a good adventure. No pressure no expectations. If you have a plan people love to join the plan. So the initial swipe match game is what it is. You can have a friend with a good camera take some nice photos, you can show interesting places, interesting things, let the app choose your most engaging photo for you automatically.

When you talk to people find something interesting about them, ask them questions about it, have your own agenda, invite them to events you already have planned and no big deal if they don’t go. Surprisingly most people want to go and see what this cool thing you’re doing is. And then from there you know you can build up.

The dating apps are just a meeting place of people who are interested in meeting people. If you treat it like that, just like a happy hour, you’re going to have a great time

Well it’s a good thing at the moment, I am loath for governments to dictate technical specifications. I’d much rather they say electronics devices must adhere to a modern open standard. And if you are introducing your new standard, it has to be patented royalty free for other people to use

Donating even a very small amount sends a signal, and makes the developers feel valued. You spent time and effort to send a token amount, that is a strong emotional event.

It wasn’t broken. But thank you for letting people know it works on platforms other then xen.

Yes! They’re my kind of crazy.

I run it on one of my machines all the time. I’d say after about 3 weeks it’s totally usable, you get used to the quirks. Framework is such a good pairing with qubes.

Wait, what? You can sponsor projects through fdroid? How?

I use monero to donate monthly to projects I use

• Grapheneos
• Molly.im
• Divest
• Tor
• Free tube
• Keypass
• Qubes!!
• Privacy guides

I use monero to pay for services i use

• Mullvad

For the projects that don’t accept monero I use Libre pay

• Briar…

Why briar of all projects doesn’t accept monero I will never know…

…

I tried to drink the Kool-Aid, I have to use the ecosystem if I want to support the ecosystem, if I want it to grow. The same reason I’m using lemmy

If you want to see options I recommend https://monerica.com/#non-profits

Mvno. Mobile virtual network operator.

It’s like Google voice, but you also get a SIM card and data with it.

The phone number you have on it, does not show up as a VoIP number, shows up as a normal mobile number. Even if you only access it via messenger and not via SMS.

You can use Google fi as a non-voip voip number. It just costs $20 a month.

It’s not frugal, but it’s the most secure way to do it

Yeah. When I heard what they were doing with the library stuff. I thought that was such a weird hill to die on.

Like how could any lawyer tell them they had a chance in hell of breaking copyright law at scale, because of the pandemic?

And they didn’t create a new organization to do this very legally risky thing, they did it under their normal organization not some LLC. Crazy

The connection to the network is fungible.

If the phone number you give everybody is a voip number, like Google voice…

Then it doesn’t matter who your cell phone carrier is. Buy the cheapest one, month to month.

Visible is a good option. Just don’t move your phone number. Leave your phone number on VoIP. Don’t give anybody the phone number of your phone.

A couple reasons, first it’s the easiest to move your phone around if you don’t have to move the number, second nobody can track your location by looking up your phone number if they don’t have your physical phone number. VoIP does not map to your phone

If I’m the post master I’m proud of everyone being able to communicate and the huge dividends this brings society.

I don’t get upset about delivering mail to the prisons. I would get upset if I wasn’t allowed to!

Trying to figure this out

Hyperswam dht is used as the hole punch intermediary… Which is running on the hole punch swarm…https://github.com/hyperswarm

I can’t find a good overview document of how the entire architecture works, there’s no Wikipedia page on this system.

At its core, if it’s open source, I want to know what I need to run this independently on my own networks without touching any of their stuff.
