#p2p

I saw today that my CoCalc (cocalc.com/) license was about to renew. I've been meaning to move to a more #SelfHosting or #P2P paradigm, so this was good timing for me to cancel. I left this message when doing so:

"I want to support Sage, and I like using CoCalc, but I don't want to put money towards a service that supports Microsoft, Amazon, or OpenAI in any way. I didn't care so much about this before, and I even log in to CoCalc with a GitHub account, but I'm tired of having my work scraped for profit by people who donate to fascists who are destroying my nation. I would consider returning if all ties to these corporations were cut and cloud computing services came from responsible companies, perhaps in the EU."

I'm pretty sure I already have backups of everything I want from GitHub, so I can be done with them too. I should have quit when Microsoft first arrived. My plan is to switch to Radicle (radicle.xyz/) rather than another centralized service. I'll be sure to post about how that goes.

Hello hello Jamers 😎

🌸 Spring is back and so are our Dev Updates!

You missed them? We did too!

Our team has been busy squashing bugs, enhancing the user experience, and preparing some exciting new features for all Jami users. From desktop to mobile, and deep into the core, things are moving fast.

👀Curious to see what’s been cooking lately across platforms?
Read our Dev update 12 : jami.net/de/dev-update-12/

I'm now going through a loop of reading text and trying to recognize what actually needs to be stated somewhere that I'm used to just thinking of as implied. ~4,500 words in and I realize that I never actually explicitly expressed that the system was designed to be able to function in an extended #P2P environment or how the basic mechanisms work in that context. That was just the basic environment my thinking started in, but it just occurred to me to mention it to the hypothetical reader.

Better maybe, but relying on European values and regulation carries risk. Look at UK, look at others in the EU, look at how well lobbying works against both.

Where possible we need to create infrastructure that embodies these freedoms and protections so they cannot be circumvented, to give alternatives when other options begin to fail. Thid can be done through tech which empowers, such as decentralisation through rather than .

Криптовалюта в России: Куда бежать выводить рубли после закрытия Garantex?

Привет, Хабр! Сегодня я хочу поговорить с вами о ситуации, которая заставила многих российских криптоэнтузиастов изрядно понервничать. Помните Garantex? Биржа внезапно исчезла с радаров, оставив сотни тысяч пользователей в поисках надежной альтернативы для вывода криптовалюты в рубли. Давайте разберемся, что произошло, и главное — куда теперь двигаться дальше. Приятного прочтения!

I have made a release of "git-withme" which allows peer-to-peer Git usage over #magicWormhole

This uses short, human-memorable codes to invite peers to collaborate (push, pull, etc) in real-time on a Git repository with no external hosting providers. Creates a temporary bare repository on the host so it feels like GitLab style usage.

"pip install git-withme" or see the project pages:

Оказывается у #Briar помимо общеизвестного приложения есть ещё и четыре странных: Earth, Mercury, Venus, Mars. Все весят ~3.5 МБ примерно.
Все 4 не пробовал, пока хватило одного из них - Earth. Испробовал там кажется всё, кроме установки этого скриншота креста на второй Андроид и тогда повключать снова там всякие вайфай, БТ и GPS... Почему говорю "скриншота"? Да потому, что это приложение и вело себя как скриншот, а ощущал себя в качестве дурака, включающего на девайсе разные службы и тыча в этот скриншот пальцем в надежде, что чудо всё-таки произойдёт. Но чуда на моем #Android 10 не произошло, немного поржал и удалил эти странные обои.
Если кто хочет попробовать эти 4 безопасных мессенджера от "Briar Project" для #p2p , #mesh , офлайн-чата и чего-то ещё и не смущает перспектива почувствовать себя идиотом, тыкающим пальцем в обои - милости прошу!😀 Может это просто у меня эти лыжи не поехали, но пробовать все 4 пары за раз я пока не готов)

I created an #X account because I wanted to have more reach for my crowdfunding campaign(cr8r.gg/@farooqkz/114295543059). But then I greatly regretted my registration on the platform.

The problem's not just that it recommends these people on the top. The problem's also that it requires following at least 1. But it doesn't provide search feature in this window so I can easily find the one I want to follow myself. The only way is scrolling.

I was never more confident that decentralization advocates, including cash and messenger, must have decentralized platforms such as Fediverse and Mastodon as their primary channel.

Hello! I have started a flipstarter crowdfunding campaign to launch a #Persian website to promote and teach Bitcoin Cash.

The website is currently here:

persianbitcoincash.com

The flipstarter is here and I have explained everything in details:

> If i was designing a #P2P protocol

Bit of OT thought.. All these #LocalFirst projects are inventing their own sync mechanisms now, and Martin Kleppmann talks about trend towards having a 'generic sync' protocol as an open standard. But no moves are made yet in that direction.

I have trouble wrapping my head how that'd work in a heterogeneous social network with many actors, apps and composable services. Do we CRDT sync local states directly, or rely on a msg/event-based architecture?
