Non-commercial OSS projects is a contradiction in terms.

Plan 9 is mostly useful for research interest, not as production infrastructure.

No, there are authentication pieces in place that I did not go into in this article.

Yeah, you could do that, but it's a bit magic innit?

The ctl file also lets you control other connection settings, such as keep alive. It would also be unfortunate to run ls in /net/tcp and dump the entire IPv4/6 space into your terminal.

Someone emailed me the other day to share their FOSS voice control system. I was really impressed. It seems to map syllables onto actions in a modal sense ala vim. If I were to build a voice control system, it would look much like this. ht

I don't know the composition of this system or how feasible this arrangement would be given however the system may have evolved, but any planets could co-orbit the star and the black hole around their combined center of mass. They&#x27

I have tried XMPP. It's not much better, but has different problems.

I don't have an answer which is likely to satisfy you. I'm still a grumpy old IRC user. I communicate with non-technical friends and family via email, SMS, and Jitsi Meet. I allowed myself to be persuaded to try Matrix earlier thi

Typical behavior from Signal. They have a track record of hostility that we as a community should really not be tolerating. I do not use Signal and I tell my friends not to, either. Play nice or don't play at all.

In this specific case I am doing both. I will kick people off for being bigots, and tell them to go fuck themselves.

No, that's not what this means.

"Certain [gender|sexual|racial|etc] identities are not valid" is a political opinion held by those to whom I am quite comfortable telling, as the official policy of SourceHut, to go fuck themselves.

To clarify, I would narrow my statement, perhaps, to something like this: "inaction [regarding a subject with which you are familiar and are in a position to act on] is a political position".

That's not what I am saying at all. Please read the article, it's very specific on what kind of activity is prohibited.

I mean, those are clearly cryptocurrency-related projects which fall well within the scope of this policy. The exceptions are not to let the "good" cryptocurrency projects in -- there are no such projects -- but to make sure that

Iranians trying to get cash so they can buy groceries are not the problem. North Korea using ransomware to get lots of cryptocurrency they can use to fund their nuclear weapons program is the problem.

Both projects would not be permitted under this policy.

Yes. Hello. We have thought about spreading support requests out throughout more of the SourceHut staff if my bandwidth becomes insufficient, though.

All companies operate according to the moral compass (or lack thereof) of their founders. Some of them simply choose not to state their morals. I don't think that the slippery slope argument which is being made here and throughout the

Inaction is a political position in support of the status quo. It is the equivalent of saying "I am fine with this".

We just set up a new datacenter installation in Europe and we're working on setting everything up. I can't offer a timeline on when things will move, but it is planned.

Tornado Cash would not be permitted.

You can assume for the time being that this project is permitted on SourceHut. Once it materializes further and its relationship to the social problems of cryptocurrency becomes more clear, we can evaluate it properly. It seems that you at
