That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)

some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time...

Associating with crypto-fraud is a hard no for many users (I am referring to Nostro which was developed by a crypto-bro).

Anyone have any experience with yggdrasil, particularly in context of remote access to self-hosted services?

Lightning is a terrible protocol. The Lightning devs themselves state that it’s basically unusable and you shouldn’t even try sending transactions valued more than a few hundred dollars. If you’re bored, check out the history of Lightning; it’s almost like a satire of software development project.

You’re also being a little disingenuous about the nature of Nostr and it’s relatioship to crypto.

The “market cap” polemic is a piece of propaganda. If you tried selling all that bitcoin, the price would tank and you would see exponential declines in the “market cap”.

You don’t see the problem with a payment system that is fundamentally unreliable?

Why would you pay your phone bills with lightning? I don’t know which country you live in, but where I lived there are so many easier methods to pay your phone bills.

Why would I use a payment system that developers themselves call unreliable? Are you serious?

I am not even talking about overall usability (i.e. recipient support) and UX/UI…

Good to hear. I am very cautious about remote access and yggdrasil seemed like the perfect solution.

I do remember IPv6 being a pain point, by provider then (2018) didn’t support it. My current ISP is planning to add IPv6 support, but still isn’t there yet. :(

While development seems to be strong, their website and documentation is also still lacking.

It is an excellent concept. I wish there was a more common “killer service/use case”, something like a imagehost but without all the bullshit and corporate changes (like the recent issues with imgur).

Interesting, will need to do some digging.

Turns out Nostr’s founder (who is a crypto-bro) is super sketchy:

All the individuals you mentioned made their contributions and statements under their real names.

The Tor team largely publishes their work under their real names:

www.torproject.org/about/people/

They even have a board of directors:

blog.torproject.org/announcing-new-board-members/

Has the lead Nostro developer mentioned anything about his support for Olavo de Carvalho (the claim that “Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses” is particularly wild)? I will note Stallman, Linus have provided feedback to public criticism of their statements/approaches.

The Lemmy tankie issue is definitely a major problem.
