I'd support Freenet if it wasn't for their massive CSAM problem. I absolutely hate that I know what "PTHC" stands for. Maybe it's changed. I haven't touched Freenet since...I think 2010? I just remember seeing index pages with links to tons of sites on Freenet, and a considerable number of them were links to CSAM. Nope. Deleted that. Ain't gonna be a part of that.

I find that surprising, even in 2010 it was difficult to find illegal content on Freenet unless you were looking for it - and certainly in recent years it's virtually impossible, the default indexes are carefully vetted. In any case, the original Freenet was never going to be a general-purpose replacement for today's centralized services as it can only handle static content. For the past few years we've been working on a sequel to Freenet that is much more general-purpose, you can learn about it at https://freenet.org/ https://freenet.org/. While the original Freenet was analagous to a decentralized hard drive, the new Freenet is like a decentralized computer. As part of it we're building a decentralized reputation system (based on a "web of trust") to address illegal/offensive/objectionable content.

I'm guessing it isn't Parent-Teacher Home Conference.

  Not to embarrass you doing a nearly effortless Google search for the answer, but it's clearly Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography /s [1] On a more serious note - part of me really wants to know, and a much larger part of me doesn't.

    Amusingly, I nearly had that procedure done.

    For better or worse, the answer to your question is in the header of the Wikipedia page you linked.

The half of HN without proper impeccable impulse control are probably on a list now. You could have said "hate that I learnt lingo used by abusers, just by being on Freenet". For those wondering, the initialism relates to extreme child abuse. And now I too get to wish I hadn't looked.

  FWIW, I am relatively certain a good chunk of HN users are marked as "mostly harmless" already. In other words, we are all on the list. We just have different tags:D edit: Or at least, if I was responsible for running IC, we would all be on the list with appropriate tags. Thankfully, I am not.
