I think the argument is framed as wanting a human during take down dispute, not pre-approval. There's no need to treat this as an absolute. Why are human contact and reasonable expediency considered mutually exclusive? There is a lot o

While I believe it is probably production ready, due to how Go is implemented with implicit coroutines/yielding, generated WASM from Go is larger and has many more instructions than a lower-level languages that map more directly to mac

Not as far as it can go. It can still go many dozens of miles in every direction, and has, and will continue. Companies are following employees to the burbs and employees are moving even more with the uptick of remote work. Home prices are

A little while back I wrote something similar[0]. Basically I applied AFL principles to the JVM by similarly implementing bytecode instrumentation in the lightest way I could and having "passes" of sorts that manipulated inputs us

My dream (and something I may build given the time) is a large set of curated, regularly updated scripts using headless browser automation (e.g. playwright) to provide popular website services (e.g. FB, Twitter, etc) as a local API I could

I doubt very much it's too late. Tor can be statically compiled into the apps, and assuming Signal is centralized, they can just run their own onion service and otherwise communicate as though they were using TCP.

Using onion services doesn't use exit nodes, that's only for exiting to the public internet.

It can be hard for people to self host due to local router settings and what not of course. You should consider an option to auto configure as a Tor onion service so their desktop website is immediately available to all (that use a Tor brow

For anyone else wanting to, this might be fairly easy to do in Qt with QWindow::fromWinId and then using a tab widget. I have recently done similar w/ a POC to embed FF into a tabbed UI on Windows[0] when researching making a new brows

Don't forget Google's which is probably the most robust: https://webrtc.org/ (source at https://webrtc.googlesource.com/src ). Other libs, such as mediasoup, take pieces from this.

Nice. I was considering the same (did POC w/ just screen no input a couple of years ago[0] tho may not work since I used gunjs). One thing I was considering instead of Electron is a systray daemon that send input to a chrome extension

Directory servers, the DNS of Tor iirc, are a central point of failure I believe. I would guess it's hard to distribute this and keep queriers anonymous. Can do a DHT over Tor, but you still need known address list to bootstrap.

You jest but I toyed with just this and came to the conclusion that it is feasible. In my case, I just transpiled to Kotlin (but would take a different approach when Loom is completed). I don't have much interest in the JVM anymore, bu
