The company’s media brands attract more than 72 million consumers in print, 394 million in digital and 454 million across social media platforms.

This is not monopoly level, but certainly bigger than most, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications

android vs linux: round 2 electric bugaloo

• android: comes preinstalled with google play services
• linux: comes preinstalled with whatever package manager your distro uses

IP-Adress, your waking hours, I guess? And if you load their javascript and have some vulnerability? Everything.

10 TB? Is that not multiple hard-drives? Can you access the text-files while you host/serve them? Or are they compressed as zip files?

on smartwatch 🙃

I use nanoseconds unix timestamps as my date mechanism.

• use smaller instances besides lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, this will increase decentralization
• donate to your instance hosts and important devs in the field
• be active and post high value content

yeah an exit node would be the most dangerous

why not both? Put it into the post and the comments?

Energetic independence

Speaking as an American? Energetic Independence From who? The United States and Canada have big fossil fuel reserves. The US is even the biggest exporter of them. And I guess the rest of the West can count on Australian and Canadian fossil fuel exports. If anyone needs fossil fuel independence its China. And the west would profit from a slower transition to nuclear power there, as this allows to apply more external pressure by increasing oil prices.

“This is the best timeline” joke? Anyone?

Postman shows it is under heavy load sometimes. Are there other trackers? I only found … https://ngosang.github.io/trackerslist/

• updates trackerlist everyday, today:

http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/a
http://opentracker.eeptorrent.i2p/a

http://opentracker.simp.i2p/a

i2p is the only tor for torrents I know of. a program i2psnark that comes with the java-version preinstalled specifically. You need to follow their setup instructions closely to get a functioning i2p you can interact with using a http-proxy setting in your web-browser.

I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.

• So the massive i2p problem is its unpopular.

This is a bit of the chicken and egg problem. Has anyone here experience using or seeding i2p torrents? I would be interested in for example seeding Linux iso. I set it up

My 2cents how to seed :

then you can use i2psnark/Create a torrent in the web interface, and type the file-name of the file you want to seed over i2psnark. on Linux for me its in in /var/lib/i2p/.i2p/i2psnark

But sharing over it is another matter; you need a tracker for that, like postman, or the other one I have not tested yet.

Random slots, where random posts (age/upvote count does not matter) are introduced and marked as such could help in such a problem without complex systems.

The proportion of these random slots could be a user-setting.

Something similar to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Random Does this exist in lemmy (backend) api?

I would love info/data-sheets about all the instances, that would make the decision process easier:

• who de-federated who?
• who hosts most content related to topic X?
• number of users and their distribution of joined communities
• posts/second average user activity …

sounds … simple 🍞

But good 👍

ask them to use swear words or produce sarcastic propaganda?

my original name, glowing_hans, was exposed … noooo

haha lemmy users seem to love noodle/tomato related dishes
