Holy shit, *all* #indian #internet #traffic is #monitored by their #government https://entrackr.com/2022/11/exclusive-i.. Worse still, when a site uses #cloudflare , the #government essentially sees #plaintext #http and can even #inject their own #content https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=335.. What's even more concerning is that other #governments are almost certainly also doing the same.
If ever you want #confirmation that the #internet #archive has a #leftwing #bias , they recently moved to #mastodon after #twitter was taken over #elonmusk https://mastodon.archive.org/about/more Why is this important? He who #controls #history , #controls the #narrative .
Great point about #russia very possibly being involved in #severing the #undersea #internet #cables for the #uk 's #shetland #islands https://lowendbox.com/blog/why-the-briti.. This happened after a #russian " #underwater #research #ship " was seen in the #localarea . The #goal could be to wipe out the entire #internet . If only they had concentrated on #decentralization rather than #spying all the time.
In fact, it appears #deadsocial or the #internet just went out. So it will be interesting to see how it handles this #edgecase ... #fingerscrossed all the #messages get sent once the #server or #internet comes back #online .
Another test #message from the #deadsocial #gui ... The #plan is to make using the #website #offline possible (as often happens with the bad #internet ) that we have where I live.
Interesting, it looks like #kiwifarms are looking for a new #server #host https://lowendbox.com/blog/do-you-want-t.. They appear to be #blacklisted by pretty much *everybody* on the #internet , which I believe is somewhat unfair as long as they are law abiding. Funny #comment on the #article by somebody called "Fascist Killer", because if this person believes #kiwifarms is made of #fascists , then this is a #death #threat , something #kiwifarms are accused of...
Just has a mini #power #cut (<250ms) - none of my #systems went #offline - success! On the other hand, I did notice that it did #correlate with #issues with the #internet #connection too.
This #website for #lingscars is awesome: https://www.lingscars.com/ Reminds me of the old #internet !
Just to think, the #entire #internet used to be hosted on a single #server ! https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/.. Madness. It was also probably never more reliable than it was back then!
Interesting, the recent #volcano in #tonga wiped out the #internet entirely. #aardvark raises the point that this would be a perfect time for #decentralised #radio #communications - such as #ham #radio #operators https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0120.s..
Note to self: #build an #internet #radio #station ! https://schollz.com/blog/radio/ Very cool!
This is an *awesome* #writeup about a #company #idea for #paperwebsites https://daily.tinyprojects.dev/paper_web.. It's so cool I wish I had done it. Allowing people who really do not understand the #internet to connect with it - absolutely epic!
Interesting #discussion about how to #manually make #dns #queries https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/12/04/how-to-u.. Something definitely worth knowing about the #internet #fundamental ...
Please let this be true: https://www.niemanlab.org/2021/11/the-en.. I really hate ub- #subscribe #darkpatterns - *especially* when #money is involved. This is a great move by the #ftc and is actually representative of things they *should* be doing, not #attacking the #internet !
Very interesting P2P #message #sharing #offline via an #android #app named #briar https://briarproject.org/news/2021-briar.. Apparently the purpose is to #bypass #internet #shutdown ! Very interesting #app indeed.
Interesting - apparently #ethopia is likely to have another #internet #shutdown pretty soon and people are asking about how to #maintain some form of #internet #connection https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=291.. Apparently it is very much still possible to perform #dialup over a #voice #call with a very low #bitrate ... That #bitrate is also #comparable to #lora - just saying. One could imagine a stripped out #mesh for small #internet #messages ... Like #lorachan for example ...
