I'm not going to take a bus ride for free books

Yeah this isnt that kind of town, and nothing is "far away". I'm down the street from a shipping warehouse, multiple farms, and medical buildings.

There is a lot around, but if its not on the major roads, you don't know unless you know, which is what I'm pointing out is an issue. Same went for the last town, you could walk to my home from the trail in less than 5 minutes. More of an awareness issue than anything else.

And, as I said - there is zero reason not to do both.

There really isn't much reason not to do both, but I will say that word of mouth only works well if people pass by it enough. Saw that with my little library at my old home, which was off the beaten path, vs one that backed up to a well walked/biked trail, both in the same (really small) town.

PS: blame stamets 😜

But... I already told him to keep posting! I can't backtrack now!

Can confirm anarchist.nexus is working quite well

I'm planning to set up a farm (farmette is probably more accurate given the size we are looking for), and one of the things I was thinking about was sharing food.

I plan on lining the edges with some dwarf apple trees (for easy reach), some berry bushes, etc, as well as a spot for a "farm stand". I put it in quotes because no one would be there, no prices set, just grab if you need and give if you can sort of thing. And probably a little library, though I don't have much in the way of paper books anymore.

One thing I was trying to figure out is how to let people know its there. Are there "solidarity economy" maps on osm, or sites where people say they have something set up? Thats not the sort of places we wouldn't recommend obviously, like Facebook.

If anyone knows of something like that, let me know!

Slightly different note, I decided to check my upvote count with your @LW account, and, well... I think its perfect

... Only if you start slacking on those memes! 😀

Glad to have you here, and welcome!

(OK maybe I should have posted this from my dbzer0 account and not my anarchist.nexus one, but its all part of the same parade anyway)

I'm wondering if the issue is SharePoint, not any DRM. yt-dlp and ffmpeg wouldn't be logged in, causing the problem. Try this:

1. Login into sharepoint in your browser

2. Get cookies for the page using a plugin, there are a variety of them out there and depends on your browser, but should be easy to find

3. Using the file you download, run yt-dlp like this:

yt-dlp --cookies=cookies.txt <url> -S proto:dash

I was answering forking and how realistic it is. You're changing the conversation into specifics around chrome.

As I mentioned, this would be (not is, because its not even at a GA state) drastically simpler to fork, and there are many forks of a substantially more complicated browser already.

Iridium, cromite, edge, brave, thorium, vivaldi, pale moon....

And this is a drastically simpler browser that would be in swift 6.

So when they do just fork it?

I likely won't touch it anyway, but it is fully open source, so it can be forked easily. With the transition to Swift I suspect there would be plenty of devs who could take things forward if they wanted to.

Its sponsorship only of an open source browser, with no telemetry, advertising, crypto, etc, etc built in.

Sponsors get listed as sponsors, thats it.
