There’s also a jillion places to host static sites with less complexity of the code albeit more complexity to get started for many non-developers. The thing is there was a time when high schools everywhere were teaching basic HTML so you could be a part of this new internet thing, but now folks don’t think they can have their own chunk anymore separate from the corporations. You still can but the knowledge seems lost & certain technically hurdles like TLS which I mentioned make it just one step more difficult.

Then seed it on Soulseek as a webrip

I think the parent is distinguishing between messages & the attachments as they are stored differently & often in different places in many systems. But I agree with you in assuming that the goal would ultimately be to then start scanning messages too.

Imagine governments used something like SHA1 that has conflicts & now you have collision potential--you could even fabricate attachments that could cause a collision to get someone throw in jail since all you have to rely on is the file hashes. If you can’t scan the actually content & you are just using hashes, then you also don’t prevent new content that those in power deem ‘bad’ from being flagged either which doesn’t really stop the proliferation of the ‘bad thing’ just specific known ‘bad things’. If I were implementing clients, I would start adding random bits to the metadata so the hashes always change.

The only way this system even works is if there are centralized points the governments/corporations can control. Chalk this up as another point for supporting decentralization & lightweight self-hosting since it would be impossible to have oversight over such a system if anyone can spin up a personal server in their bedroom.

OMG. Ctrl+F for Firefox with no results in the article… but there’s a link to a Pikachu image from Google image search results.

Aux is still keeping all of their code on Microsoft GitHub, Lix isn’t

This is the reason you shouldn’t choose a chat platform that requires the using the mobile OS duopoly—get your friends off of LINE, WhatsApp, & Signal.

What is their mission?

I mean I don’t really see the point of using your real name on your system unless you often forget who you are. I would praise my friend tho for having the correct skeptical reaction even if it should be relatively harmless.

My girlfriend said she prefers it knowing I couldn’t get other girls to talk with me over XMPP 😂

Tangential: do you need proprietary drivers for ROCm?

Nobody is hosting JXL images because we don’t support JXL so we removed JXL before we launched it since no one was using it. #chromelogic

I mean yes you reduce your privacy by interacting with Microsoft GitHub in general, but posting your Nix config to the public isn’t much of a privacy concern since you shouldn’t have any plaintext secrets anyhow as a best practice since it would be compiled into the Nix store. There are a couple of different ways to encrypt secrets, as well as just not committing private *.nix to a public repository.
