Lightning is a steaming pile of horse shit. Anyone who thinks lightning is peer-to-peer is totally fooling themselves.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If possible drop element for SimpleX. Key management is much much easier to prevent loss of chats and metadata is properly encrypted. In element, your message may be encrypted, but the time that the message was sent at is not encrypted, any reactions to that message is not encrypted, who you sent that message to is not encrypted, and who that message is from is not encrypted.
You’re already only using the account once per year. Just bite the bullet and delete the entire thing.
Openwrt made a router and the wrt2 is supposed to be made later this year i think.
1·15 days agoI sincerely hope that is the bridge they cannot cross and get away with it. Because if you are right, then we will be okay. If you are wrong, we are screwed.
I really, really, really want to like peer tube. I mean, I truly, honestly do. But, at least currently, I can’t find any of the content I want to watch on it. lemmy and Mastodon have reached a critical mass where there is enough content to not need other services. Peertube is not to that point. My guess is that it is due to the fact of the bandwidth and storage needed to host the video and the fact that video content takes more effort to create.
I had this same issue the other day where none of my videos in new pipe would work and I found out that it was because YouTube wanted me to sign in and I’m assuming that that’s the next phase of them trying to kick us off is just not serving people who do not have an account. So I would expect this to only increase over time. YouTube is about to end up the same way Facebook is where if you do not have an account you can’t even look at anything on the service itself I would just about bet you that.
Because who doesn’t have or doesn’t want a Google account, right? /s
Edit: It’s happening again right now, as a matter of fact.
A blockchain to verify ssl cert keys and changes may work. Though idk how consensus would be secured.
Seems like no change from right now, because currently the certificate authorities are centralized entities, which could be pressured by governments to add their own certificates.
Decentralization comes with some casualties, and stupid people might just be those casualties.
Oh, that was an idea for a way to do it. Not anything that’s been implemented, or at least not to my knowledge.
Well, you can just generate your own SSL certificate on your machine, locally. I believe you can probably do it with OpenSSL. I’ve only done it with my Monero node, and they offer a binary, which will generate a certificate for you. I would just look up how to create a self-signed SSL certificate. My guess is it’s just a few commands in the terminal.
Well, it really depends on if you want somebody to trust or not. If you don’t want to trust anybody except yourself, then you can just use Tofu and be good with it. The only reason I brought up using search engines as an index is just to give people a place to look.
If I want to visit CNBC and I’ve never visited them before, I could just go straight to CNBC and trust their certificate right away. Or, if I wanted to confirm that the CNBC certificate was likely valid, I could ask DuckDuckGo, Google, and Quant. And if they all agreed that they had the same certificate that I was getting, I’d be more likely to think that it’s valid.
Your welcome
Tofu stands for Trust on First Use. So basically, you would get an SSL certificate from the website the very first time you connected to it, instead of trusting a certificate authority. Then, if the SSL certificate changed, you would then be warned that the certificate had changed and would have to decide whether to trust the new certificate or not trust the new certificate. That’s why I said perhaps search engines could index certificates and tell you how long the certificate has been active and you could check several engines quickly to determine whether each engine has the same certificate indexed for the same website and if they did not then you would know something might be up.
Will the donation dialog be served over the API? Because I use the Thunder mobile app and hardly ever go to the web interface at all.
But i2p doesnt have PoW DDOS protection. Trust me, that shit helps a fuckton for limiting ddos. I witnessed firsthand nine onion services that upgraded from not having DDOS protection to having DDOS protection while under attack and the attack completely stopped.
Edit: RetoSwap, a decentralized Monero exchange, has 9 onion seed nodes and they were being DDOSed to oblivion. As soon as they added PoW the attacks stopped and havent happened since. That was about 9 months ago now.
I just started using it myself here very recently and so far I’ve only set up one automation but it is very useful. What I am truly excited to see is the Works with Home Assistant program badge. That way I can look at a device that I’m interested in and see whether or not I should spend my money on it. I don’t want anything to do with a device that I need a fucking cloud account for.
