Frivillige får det maksimale ud af usynligt kommunikationsnetværk

Reply in thread

Skriver I så sammen I der har sat systemet op?

Det meste koordination skete på facebook i starten, men for cirka en måned siden stiftede en person en Discord, og den er vokset ret hurtigt. Der er lidt koordination, og snak om at starte en forening, så vi kan referere til noget konkret når vi er ude og snakke med firmaer om at få lov til at bruge deres tag/infrastruktur.

Hvad koster det i HW at komme i gang?

Måske 2-300 kroner for en companion (den type node man forbinder sin computer / telefon til)? Hvis man bor et sted med dårlig dækning, for eksempel vestkysten, så skal man til at investere i det der hedder 'Repeater' noder - det som personen i artiklen havde gang i.

Jeg bruger dem her, dog er de i en dyre ende

Er det ikke ret i krypteret?

Pakkerne er ikke krypteret, men en del af dataen i pakken er. Man kan for eksempel se information om en pakke, hvor den kommer fra, hvor den vil hen (nogle gange), etc, men selve dataen er krypteret. Du kan se et eksempel på en pakke som meshview ikke kan dekryptere fordi den ikke har nøglen https://meshview.dk/#/packets/bf4409018cfdf86e

Det er ikke verdens bedste kryptering, men den er svær nok til at normale personer ikke bare kan bruteforce det. PET kan sikkert godt, hvis de virkelig skal vide hvad der stod i en besked af nationale sikkerhedshensyn, eller noget.

Farmers struggle with crops as climate change makes weather less predictable

But even still, would it not benefit us to instead wish only the best for farmers and advocate for them, even if they are ignorant and hateful?

To a point, but in Denmark we're past that. Most farmers are rich and they keep whining about everything and they demand compensation for the tiniest little things. The vast majority are currently poisoning our ground-water supply and are demanding a ransom to stop doing it. If I have to drink poisoned water because they are too lazy to care about managing their spillways or, you know, not using souped up fertilizers and fucked up pesticides, then I have no reservations for them and I hope they get everything they deserve.

I want to flip farming upside down. I think it should be run by people who want to be farmers and not by people who have correctly realized that farming is possibly one of the easiest jobs in Denmark if you can get a foot in the door. These people are vile capitalists who vote against their own interest to spite everyone else and I just don't see a future where they are allowed to keep strangling society like this.

6000 farmers own 2/3rds of the landmass in Denmark and have the most disproportionate amount of political influence per person. If they wanted to do good things, they could.

The Future is NOT Self-Hosted

I agree with the premise that selfhosting is not something the layman can or want to do, but the assumption that self-hosters only host software that serve themselves is very, very dumb, and clearly comes from the mouth of someone who self-hosts out of hate for corporate services (same, though) and not for the love of selfhosting.

He complains that the software he uses can't handle multi-users, but that sounds like a skill issue to me. His solution is to make his government give him metered cloud services. What he actually wants is software that allows multi-users. What he wants, by extension, is federated services.

The bulk of users on the fediverse are on large, centrally/cloud hosted instances, but the vast majority of instances are self-hosted, and can talk to the centrally hosted instances, serving usually more than the 1 user who's hosting the instance in their attic.

The author conflates self-hosting with self-reliance, and I understand why, but it's wrong. If you're part of this community, you're probably not some off-gridder who wants nothing to do with society, self-isolating your way out of the problems we face. If you're reading this, you already know that we don't have to live on our own individual and isolated paradise islands to escape Big Tech. Federation is the future, but selfhosting is fundamental to that, and not everything can or should be federated. Selfhosting is also the future.
