I suppose a simple server with very little computing (web, irc, stuff like that) should benefit from this

by rakoo 4y ago
Apart from websub, which does require some resources, servers could provide long-polling such that the socket remains open, and give a reply as soon as there is one. Clients don't poll, servers aren't flooded (but do need to keep

If memory serves well, mailvelope can actually be used for any text box so you can use it even in non-email contexts.

It all boils down to what kind of freedom you want. Open source = libertarianism. You can do whatever you want, even if it implies making the life of everyone else worse by making them subjects of surveillance capitalism, akin to what Faceb

Oh wow. I was sure I couldn't do that last time I used it, and I didn't see it in the doc so I assumed it was still not possible. Cryptpad is now much much better, and can even be a better bet than Nextcloud+something else. I&#x27

I very much like the idea of cryptpad, especially the organization of multiple docs in folders, but to be fully useful in any org it needs a way to store files and documents of any type. Otherwise you'll need to juggle with multiple ap

BSD content can be taken without contributing back, it's in the license. Copyleft content cannot. That's the main difference, and even Google doesn't want to touch copyleft content with a 10-foot pole because of the fear they

Why should anyone make a profit ? Why is it important to guarantee individuals accumulating money belonging to others, instead of a common enrichment of everyone ?
940.
by rakoo 4y ago
This is the exact reason why copyleft licenses are important: you can reuse (A)GPL content, but if you do so the result must be given back to the community. If you're not going to pay anything, at least your product benefits everyone

Your question relies on multiple assumptions that not everyone, including me, may agree with: - domain names should be distributed based on some measurement of "utility" - the Nissan company is bigger than the Nissan person, there

I have lost hope that public torrents can serve as a good availability system. The issues are not technical but "societal", ie what rules do we collectively follow, to make content available. Private trackers are perfect for this

There actually are BEPs to manage cross swarms sharing, but I don't know of clients that do handle that. BEPv2 should make this easier though, because each file has their own hashes on top of the top-level hash.

I do use torrents daily, and I don't use private trackers because I subscribe to the idea of shared content available to everyone if the cost is nil. There definitively is spam, but it's not kazaa- or emule-level of spams: it&#x27

by rakoo 4y ago
At this point torrent clients don't provide much if they don't have a really differentiating set of features: - torrents work if they are shared more than they are leeched, so it's just easier to have it run in the background

No, capitalism is based on exploitation, and it's true that current society is neck-deep in neoliberalism but that hasn't always been true. Other organizations existed, that were completely horizontal, without hierarchies and expl

But the added value of the company is perfect execution of the idea, not juste the idea. The code being open source only means other people can try to be better, but it shouldn't be the number one issue.
