Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).

I tend to read comments here, and many times skip the linked content if nothing really draws my attention. Skipping a summary is a missed opportunity if you want me (or others like myself) engaging with the content.

They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.

Nice write-up. I'd take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

A cheap VPS with headscale. Or just ZeroTier.com free plan.

It's okay to be proud of your actions but that's different to robbing the value of other people effort.

You might be Messi and the other guy is Di Maria. The greatest football team of all time needed both :)

P.s. yeah, the example is not crystal clear but it sounded funny to me, so..

Oh. And an invite-only could also work for new accounts.

On an instance level, you can close registration after a threshold level of users that you are comfortable with. Then, you can defederate the instances that are driven by capitalistic ideals like eternal growth (e.g. Threads from meta)

But terrible handling of metadata. Which is the case for all chat apps AFAIK. Like, even with OMEMO, who talks with whom, and when, can be exposed. Which sometimes is enough to get legal issues (e.g. Ola Bini's case)

The "other criminal activity" probably includes many horrible things. Not just a teen selling shrooms. So, I am not so sure that's really what we want.

As for git, many basic concepts (e.g. staging area) clicked for me after reading some articles that Atlassian (people behind BitBucket) wrote. Other than that, I'd recommend adamj.eu 's book "Git DX" which is on gumroad. Haven't read it, tho. But I read his Django DX and like 90% of it was stuff I had to learn on my own, and thought: oh, how come I didn't find this book earlier...

Not to mention the third Korea, which sounds so Chic (⁀ᗢ⁀)

AI (e.g. face recognition) is riddled with false positives. Such a tech already does wrong on civilians without being a weapon (e.g. cameras on subways). What you said is somewhat naïve.

OpenCamera is good, but could do better. But I'd say video editing is the biggest void.

Also, gesture typing keyboards are an empty niche of foss alternatives. HelioBoard requires loading some proprietary blob unfortunately.

I guess the most heavy machine learning use cases are not filled in.

Just yesterday I deployed it locally, and was about to migrate from my keepasDX (+syncthing)...

Women are you back to KDE the same as GMO or a VPS with special software or (...)

Poor Karen, they put the wrong name on the sign! Greg is fine tho.

AV1 video codec !
