Last Notes npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 #littleFedi looks interesting but I find the lack of source extremely suspicious. The site says the code is not AI-generated, but the site text smells of bot to me. Like the about page, https://littlefedi.org/about.html "New behaviour comes with the smallest test that proves it, and go test ./..., go vet ./... and go mod tidy -diff all pass before a change is submitted." That "smallest test that proves it" is very Opus-like. Also misses the point because how can it be open for contributions if it's closed source. Makes me want to reverse the binary... npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 Serve & clone #git repositories #p2p over #iroh!

It would be better to block downloads to deranged nanny state jurisdictions, than compromise security and privacy for everyone else on the planet. Blocking downloads is a lawful way to handle this. It sends the right message, to those who could complain to their representatives to repeal the stupid laws. #ageverification npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 A winky #blep to you all this fine evening. #cats #catsofmastodon https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/115/964/371/006/073/862/original/96b18b140fd4252a.jpg npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…92y4 "The practice of manual reproduction was widespread, because printed texts could be traced back to the source."

If AI companies could feed actual humans to their models instead of just their stolen works, I don't doubt some would try it. npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…r0kn I'm so sorry.

This pull request explains more about why. https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge/pull/238 You'll already see this change in latest main. Crates have been published but it's the same latest v0.3.19 otherwise. 0.4.0 is in development and will support trackers and simultaneous upload/download. #veilid #p2p #filesharing npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…fle4 Interesting! How might https://osv.dev/ fit into this? npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…46cg @nprofile…vx8p Solid choice, app_message could function like a lower-level udp datagram protocol. When I started distrans, I think the return private route wasn't available, but now it might give that, and yield better throughput over app_call. Both app_call and I think app_message are capped at 32k data, so you'll have to implement some kind of fragmentation into packets. npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…46cg @nprofile…vx8p Similar but different! It looks like you're building something like http-over-veilid, where distrans is (well, aspirationally... it's getting there) more like bittorrent. Even there, there is room for different approaches. All have their uses! There's tons of things built on http that can then run over veilid if you pull this off. The challenge is building a persistent notion of connectivity over route changes and dealing with the eventually consistent routing information you'll get over dht. npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 #Mosstodon #thicktrunktuesday https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/113/817/311/593/315/660/original/7164f522998a9eb8.jpg npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 #silentsunday #mosstodon #texas #hillcountry https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/113/817/275/160/551/544/original/5b76ec5e81fedec2.jpg npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 Treebot: Autonomous Tree Climbing by Tactile Sensing Stick a solar panel and a Wisblock node on one of these, and you've got some pop-up #meshtastic coverage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmqDePXM89Y npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 Finally got around to trying #Codeberg. They didn't force me to provide a credit card and they do sha256! Testing the waters with my latest project, an #OCapN implementation in #Rust. I'll share it when it kinda does something but I already have that #Spritely syrup format implemented. Working on netlayers now. npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…naem Thanks for sharing this. Just deleted a throwaway account I was using occasionally to sell old stuff on Marketplace. Fake profile and identity, no IRL connections, but still... may it help contribute to tanking some KPI ever so slightly, deep in the belly of that great foul cosmodemonic beast. npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 @nprofile…q4cu what's your thoughts on urfave/cli? npub1xv8z2s8gs4l4nhl5alwtvkfllnpc6pezw75hyegcld0cgkauka3q9vx6qz cmars 🅅 I can't wait for my #meshtastic gear to arrive.
