I know someone who works in gov (Australia, not US) who told me all about a FOI request that he was stonewalling. From memory, the request was open ended and would have revealed more than it possibly intended it to, and would have revealed

I think the avoiding exit nodes part is probably the most important to me. Exit nodes have always been problematic - from memory about 20% of relays have an exit flag but most of the traffic is directed to the most performant relays. Tor ac

They use SHA-2-512 everywhere else already, presumably for post-quantum resistance. I guess it gives them a smaller cipher footprint? They use the same data type in their codebase for hashes? 512 bits is sufficiently future proof? Future us

I always though the 16 bit port was too little. GNUNet CADET (admittedly a very experimental and non-production system) uses a 512 bit port number. A port can be a string, like "https" or "my-secret-port" which is hashed

OP mentions DigitalOcean as a compute provider. Is there much info on which compute providers will ban you for, say, P2P or BitTorrent activity? Presumably this is against the ToS for most providers.

There aren't many good alternatives to ZFS if you specifically want snapshots and compression. LVM? Managing it sucks and the performance is bad (there's plenty of information on this). I think Red Hat's Stratis was supposed

As you mention, it differs from system to system. When it hits that threshold it becomes immediately noticeable - I/O performance will basically fall right down. At my old job we noticed it around 93% on Solaris 11.x, and maybe 85% on

In terms of the protocol IPNS, DNSLink and PubSub come to mind. You can publish things that change over time. IPFS also does some deduplication against the data when you publish things. In terms of the software, browser integration, which t

I've been meaning to use Manyverse for ages, but admittedly I've been delayed by procrastinating setting up my own SSSB pub node. The DHT sounds nice, in theory, but I heard in practice it doesn't work well which is a shame.

I might just be living under a rock down under, but I don't really get what's satirical about that news segment. Is it the lockdown whilst having low case numbers? Only one death in Sydney on that day? Just keep in mind Australia
