  Not in a winner takes it all.

  Yeah for sure (Fanatic users come to me!) and I don’t have the promotional skill or funds, but Zeronet is a bitcoin horror (IMO) and IPFS is like the grandpa of decentralised sharing, cumbersome and lacking simple things like the ability to update a file.

  One day it’ll take off because of its ease of use and elegance, that’s what I keep telling myself anyways 😅!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t give a flying f about the toilet seat (it’s IMO a child level discussion, do what you like people), but I and my whole family do wash our hands when we come back from the outside. Always.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but it has been quite uneventful for 50 years, for what I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  What happens in reality is they get 10% of the second most credible party and Maga wins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Remove the bases in europe and you can only project power with as many you can pile up on an aircraft carrier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I overreacting

  Yes.

  Totally understandable in the world with the dopamine fueled news cycles running on fear.

  But, nuclear war is very unlikely, that’s why Putin is threatening it every other week, he knows he won’t do it, and other leaders know that too. It’s meant to terrorise people.

  Help Ukraine to grind down russia so that eventually we can denuclearise them (remove the Kremlin and let the russians have another try at democracy would be nice too) is IMO the closest any regular person can do today.

  The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it’s free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, …).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  As a neophyte to all those distros out there but still curious, any specific reason?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Hypermind: A fully decentralized, P2P, high-availability solution to a problem that doesn't exist.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I am making a “useful” p2p decentralised network that has no users, so this is how you get people onboard 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked in hospital payments, they used gcc 4.4 in 2023 (but renamed 4.8 for some reason), no TLS, code is 30+ years old. Only impacts a bunch of millions of people.

  But having access to the server? No no IT cannot let you have that :-D

  Fascinating and a bit of scary.

  You can also flash a usb stick with rufus, mint needs 4GB IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And Ghostery, works well for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re wrong but do try out Ghostery, a FF plugin that rids you of the popups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wisdom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also a hard drive shortage :-/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No contest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouch missed that!

  There are other ships in the Star Wars universe ☺️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks.

  I hear the diff between 192 & 320 (probably 256 is enough but better safe than sorry I thought so that’s what I use) so 160 vorbis is very good but not totally perfect for me then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll chip in with the first TB…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how they are splitting it up in different torrents and how many.

  They are splitting it up right? 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked with visualisation of scientific data, up to 1petabyte, multi channel 3D realtime visu without degradation. One client had 1.5TB ram. Interesting times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How does it compare to 192 and 320 bps mp3?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hospital Bill 1961⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should you pay for it, it’s free!

  Checkmate euh, logical people I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet ancestry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah dig enough and you’ll find almost anything. I mean where should you stop, it’s genetics after all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So to be paid I have to delete 1M lines of code every month. Gotcha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Swedish food is the same!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’s feasible. Easy? Maybe not.

  Good recommendations though.
