Secure Scuttlebutt is the answer to unfucking the internet. Nobody knows about it because it's a ten year old JavaShit frankenstein made by europeans who got cold feet and abandoned it when they realised they were creating a free speech weapon.

But the mechanism of how SSB functions is very very strong. We need to bring SSB back to life and use it to build a bullet proof network now that the internet is having its throat cut.

SSB is an HTTP-equivalent protocol that has been redesigned and reimplemented here in about 1000 lines of python. If you don't like python, good news: you can reimplement it in your favorite trans or retarded language of choice with little effort.

http://lfxii7ummavpv4da4o4m6fydbrxns5q3lrp2u7qzuexzdkko7sw32aqd.onion/

Nostr and at proto were both created as shitty corpo versions of the original ssb protocol. SSB is not an alternative to them, it is their originator, and it's better because it isn't designed to be broken on purpose.

In its current state it needs hackers and application developers. If that is not you, ok. It is fully functional as a social network on the command line only. It turns out application development fucking sucks. But on the CLI it does chat, messaging and posting, and file sharing.

I'd previously assumed that Electron-esque garbage like Snap and Flatpak were just a fad confined to lazy commercial software, but along with a slow general decline in community packager activity, I've recently noticed more and more dev projects like GIMP and Handbrake abandoning official Linux builds for distro-native package formats. Reading a bit about it, the underlying tools and standards for packaging appear to be in general decay, and I was surprised to see some distros like Ubuntu and Fedora making noises about completely abandoning their package managers at some (usually vague) point in the future!

Throughout the span of modern Linux distros, before the need to resort to manually installing every single version of a piece of software, as an alternative to waiting for the distro's repo to update from (sometimes painfully outdated) stable versions, there were pretty much always builds of whatever available from either the developers themselves or some helpful person's PPA. Without that, Linux will become much less convenient to use at best, far more bloated and broken at worst.

It has been suggested by some, such as this article:
https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future
that the main problem which allowed such moronic software to gain momentum (aside from security flimflam exaggerating its sandbox capabilities) was Linux's not

Yeah. None of this would have happened, if the AUR had mandatory reviews and checks before packages could be updated. Gentoo's GURU or *BSD ports doesn't have this kind of issues. There should be also a better way to orphan packages properly. Currently, the user has to manually check for them and manually remove them. Pacman is not a good package manager.

There is easy way to check for known malicious packages but there are over 1500+ packages. Here is a handy script that I found:

Anon, why aren't you using SimpleX on your LineageOS phone yet?
- just werks
- no phone number needed
- profile is on the phone and not on servers
- chat, voice calls, video calls, file transfer
- has servers, so you send stuff to people who are not online
- you can host your own servers if you want to
- has an a
- FOSS and on F-Droid
- has desktop application
I already moved my relatives to it.

Due to sms being needed to sign up for entering sites I kinda agree with you. *entering insanity mode* It's so silly the powers that be think they're keeping people safe doing silly stuff like this. At the end of the day some serial killer is going to whipe his shoes off on some guy he had a gun on using his computer and all his information instead after it's literally impossible to be anonymous and just go to another guy's house in someone else's car. They can't stop that sort of activity but pretend some all seeing eye can when it can't actually see anything, just record and get there too late. Eventually some day in the futue the brown pill poster will be posting over some dead grandma/grandpa on his/her computer while giggling and bicycle away leaving their corpses to rot.

I'm not sure who you're trying to impress, but how you write is the splitting image of this obnoxious tranny I sometimes stumble across while searching niche languages on nitter to find examples of people using them. He inserts himself into any conversation on niche languages he can find, and thinks he's a super edgy contrarian for liking systemd. If anyone disagrees with him, he "ironically" threatens to molest and force feminize him. He's such an obvious sexual predator that it's telling language designers semi-tolerate him at all.

I completely understand OP. I have at least two boards I post on that are dead and I'm the only regular poster. I post on them because the non-dead version of those boards are just insufferable to the point that I'd rather post alone and to the void than with them.
It's kind of like the "Would you rather tell your feelings to a tree or a woman?" meme. Well, sometimes you'd just as rather post on a dead board.

Even before Google was censored, even prior to that before SEO partly overwhelmed Google, no search engine was ever anywhere near as good as AI at sifting through the innertubes.

That said, the conflation of "AI" with "panopticon mainframe" is infuriating, hopefully hardware will become powerful enough soon that even the swarms of mobilesheeple will switch to local models.

There are a lot of people crying about being banned from YouTube for political reasons. Why hasn't anyone solved the video platform problem? We had the technology to do it since the 2000s.

bittorent + video streaming over bittorent

For neckbeards there is RSS. For people who leaned what computer programming is, there are some bittorent extensions for mutable torrents, RSS on bittorent, and signed torrents.

All you have to do is make an LLM build a tard friendly video streaming app that subs to some torrents feeds, and like a miracle, youtube is obsolete.

What is the problem? Is it the google shekels? Is it the "algorithmic reach"? People using phones instead of computers? Even normies use jellyfin or plex now. What is the problem? It takes too much space? You only need one seeder with an external hard drive to solve that problem.

"muh bandwidth" The whole point of bittorrent is to spread out bandwidth. This is a solved problem. If you are watching video as a hobby you don't care about bandwidth anyway.

"muh ip" who cares. You can use VPN or something.

"bad performance" Maybe so but consider lichess vs chess.com. There is a big penalty for shitware platforms full of adware and tracking scripts. Just by being an honest and clean software there is a performance boost compared to google satanware, no matter how expensive their CDNs are.

>Started in 2017 by a programmer known as Chocobozzz, development of PeerTube is now supported by the French non-profit Framasoft.[4] The aim is to provide an alternative to centralized platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion. 
>As an ActivityPub platform, PeerTube is part of the federated network known as the Fediverse. 
>Each PeerTube instance provides a website to browse and watch videos, and is by default independent from others in terms of appearance, features and rules.

There's already an off-the-shelf solution, the problem is that you'd have convince the teeming masses of normalfags to use it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocard_(printed_circuit_board)
>Eurocard is an IEEE standard format for printed circuit board (PCB) cards that can be plugged together into a standard chassis which, in turn, can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. The chassis consists of a series of slotted card guides on the top and bottom, into which the cards are slid so they stand on end, like books on a shelf. At the spine of each card is one or more connectors which plug into mating connectors on a backplane that closes the rear of the chassis.
It is a physical format only, so you can use whatever connectors with whatever hardware you want, and 100mm version is pretty close to standard PCI Express card sizes. A 16x PCIe connector is also less than 100mm long, so you could design Eurocards with that connector. Maybe it would be even possible to design Eurocards and PCIe cards in tandem, as the main difference would be placing the connector either at the end or at the bottom. Still, what I am really thinking about is how 10" racks are getting popular: you could make a 10" 3U PCIe-Eurocard that could be used to house anything from a large variety of SBCs to gigantic RAM cards to ridiculous SSD farms. I could see it being a hit with certain hobbyists if you turn old systems into Eurocard SBCs, so that you could plug an Amig
