Nice! I want to build a rack too but want to fit a regular ATX board to fit older / cheaper hardware. So it has to be at least 304mm wide, probably 400mm

Hey, next time you go to a protest just glue your government ID card to your forehead. See how secure that feels lol

Fascism is capitalism in decay. It’s what you can sell right now. A modern definition is “moral belief in inequality based on identity (race / gender)”. This is what is selling right now because the dream of prosperity with liberalism is over. Shit’s bad. So that is what the propaganda channels have been churning out, on on fox, on social media, on youtube for younger audiences. Ultimately the reason is greed for money / priviledge by people without scruples.

It’s only going to get worse from now on.

Obviously not. Think about supply and demand. Because a toxic product is being hailed as secure there isn’t enough demand for an actually anonymous and private messenger. So calling signal “secure” is just helping state security.

If you actually want to message about revolutionary (illegal, “terrorist”) activity and don’t want to be traced immediately by an agent of state security or an informant, Signal offers nothing (unless you use criminal activity like identity theft). In such a case a warrant will obviously be granted and they can immediately find and arrest you.

Can you see the logic how Signal isn’t secure at all for an actual dissident?

Just let it happen

Thanks. I’d already be happy with updating/mutable v2 torrents for browsing static websites via hashkey.

A regular captain of industry for whom the automatic searchers of his zero-privacy messenger is one step too far lol

There can be no security without privacy and a central server that can be extorted. But keep lying if you like.

plans in the EU to allow messengers to have backdoors to enable automatic searches for criminal content

Try to think a bit before you post

Signal is considered one of the most secure messengers.

I mean lol, they require a phone number to sign up, which you can only get with an ID in many countries. You chat with a gestapo officer and they know where you life.

Signal IS GARBAGE. Fucking garbage article, gaslighting bullshit. Fuck this timeline. Honestly this article is fucking terrorism.

What the fuck is a DIDs?

Hmm darkmode doesn’t work. And it’s 615 MB on disk, is it an electron app lol

8 / 28. Just barely above random answers lol

Maybe China will bring out a cheap, affordable and degoogled phone lol.

How does google plan to enforce this? Will they disable side-loading for any app that isn’t registered with google?

I think that’s where hyper-individualism leads us when people don’t want to share spaces but want their own little castle. But sharing spaces and parks would be vastly more cost and energy efficient (so I assume these countryside arcologies would also be very cheap way to live). Also you’d want an association that is geared to be more democratic than typical HOAs are (they are designed to improve and maintain property values for the whole project instead of living quality or utility). So even the individualism of suburbs are a kind of scam.

Yeah exactly. Highly compact and energy efficient living while still living in nature and luxuriously, and little large scale infrastructure.

Restoring nature would be a major way to fight climate change too. Of course you’d want fields lined by hedgerows (Bocage?) and food forests to produce the food those 10-30k inhabitants needs right outside, so you save transportation energy costs. And it’s self sufficient at least in areas with water sources nearby or rainfall to capture.

I can also imagine a “mini-monorail” with single seats that run on a simple metal beam build by a welding robot to connect such buildings and transport people, carry internet and power.

I’ve seen fancy ideas for “arcologies” in cities but never one in nature with enough food calorie production right outside. I’d honestly love to live in a skyscaper where each apartment has a beautiful view on unspoiled countryside.

What matters is scalability and how much material and cost you need to produce per energy unit. Kites (either parasails or fixed wing) are much simpler, can be scaled up too, and you only need a simple cable that pulls the generator’s winch. Overall kites seem much more efficient to scale up.

Yeah but I’d also like to see such huge buildings in the middle of nature. Imagine 10.000 people with their own daycare, school or even medic / doctor surrounded by fields and food forests so they can produce their own food. Generates it’s own power, centralized super efficient heat storage system for winter, cleans up it’s own water etc. And have a fast mass transport to the next hub, like a chain of such buildings a few miles apart linking to the next big city. That’s my solar punk.
