Can we extend that beyond just parental controls? I'd love to permaban 90% of the internet from ever reaching me. But the laws are designed backwards because they're probably written for someone else's benefit.
If this age verification stuff ever becomes plausible we always have the option of distributing actual Linux ISOs over bittorrent. Failing that, source code in RAR'd archives distributed across IPFS nodes and Tor. I feel like many of us would welcome the challenge if it were under better circumstances.
- tosti 2mo ago> source code in RAR Good luck extracting that shit.
- zenoprax 2mo agoI know RAR isn't the coolest archive format but it has particular strengths for data preservation. Namely, built-in recovery records and effectively no archive size limit. It is more reliable than most other archives in my experience though I prefer ZIP for general compatibility. Compressed TAR is not great for random access though I think you can create indexed tarballs which helps.
- tosti 2mo agoDo you have working, buildable source code for extracting a RAR?
