>Why is this not happening? This is like asking why stupid people aren't smart.

IPFS has shown that the protocol is fundamentally broken at the level of growth they want to achieve and it is already extremely slow as it is. It often takes several minutes to locate a single file.

Please don't spread baseless accusations and FUD.

Absolutely not. And there's too many trees for any satellite service anyways

I could only dream of having 10mbps upload... we are still stuck on DSL here, I am lucky to get close to 1mb upload, not enough to even watch my home camera feed reliably, especially with audio on.

This sounds exactly like what one of those moderators would say... I have observed a lot of the behavior of what OP is referring to, and I really have to agree with them although apparently some peopl…

It would be nice if both parties could sign the binary. My biggest issue with reproducible builds is that not every project supports it, and many that do aren't being verified (like Signal).

> Why someone would get into FOSS development and then get upset when someone exercises their rights to build from source and distribute binaries is baffling to me. This happens at an alarming rate…

I was more referring to supply chain attacks and intentional backdoors, which have happened multiple times in the past. Debian servers have also been hacked before.

Yes and it is often a source of contention as well, not only for those same reasons but also others. For example, package maintainers often configure the programs differently (see: keepassxc drama) an…

I say that possibility is canceled out because those layers of protection also provide avenues for additional bad actors and even more possibility of places to inject malware/compromises.

Will they be incentivized to develop features that people don't want now?

I think they're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... …

You know what else was funded by the US government? Computers, the Internet and GPS. Also Signal (via OTF funded by Congress).

> Maybe someone, somewhere, has decided that allowing petty criminals to get away with their crimes is worth maintaining the illusion that Tor is truly private. This is what I believe. If they do h…

I meant that digitally lending the books out that IA owns 1-to-1 in the same way a real library lends out physical books should legally be treated the same, regardless of any ebook-specific licensing.

As far as I know, IA owns the physical books they scanned, so why shouldn't they be allowed to lend them out 1-to-1 digitally the same as a physical library?

I can't believe HN mods think it's ok to leave this comment up. I don't know of a way to report it myself unfortunately.

I wonder if this pattern is considered similar to fractals? Or would that work even better? I recently learned that we have figured out how to produce fractal light from lasers as well which sounds qu…

I don't think this is enough information to quantifiably say that your issue was caused specifically by the Stealth protocol itself and nothing else.

The issue reported here (unanswered since March) says they are using Stealth in Russia and it is still not working: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/android-app/issues/130 …

How do you get that claude-3.5-sonnet model to use locally with llm? I wasn't able to figure it out reading the plugin docs.

I feel like the only country that has guaranteed protection by the US would be Japan. Past that, rest of the top 5 would probably be South Korea, Philippines, Canada and Israel.

Donut still uses WebRTC though, which like I said, I still need TURN for and I can prove it. I still have a really hard time believing that only 20% of "users" (what users where? everyone in…

It looks to me like an early WIP clone of those "watch movies together with friends online" services.

My issue with this (and WebRTC in general) is that most residential users (at least in the US, probably many other countries) are behind some type of symmetrical NAT or CGNAT, often without the abilit…

Isn't this just what userscripts/greasemonkey (and its forks) already does for any website?

You seem to be referring to the ios/mac app store thing specifically, which is NOT what 99% of people use. That is a separate whole browser with the extension pre-installed and completely unneces…

Github's own DMCA reporting repo has warez in it from deleted PRs you can still access with the original link. Been that way for years
