Nostalgic piece of late 90's web design, just as I left it back in ~2000 :) https://www.ceti.pl/?ceti=informacje The ISP however still seems to be operating.
@nikolal Oh, in such case you should try Dostoyevski ("Idiot" is my favourite) and "Master and Margarita" (Bulhakov). The latter has a very good series filmed in 2000's. From modern prose "Day of the oprychnik" (Sorokin - dystopia) and "Metro 2033" (Glukhovsky - sci-fi)
@nikolal Strongly recommended! Also "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" (also Solzhentsyn) and "Darkness at Noon" by Arthur Koestler

Just read about Google pushing out a lovely update that caused outages all over the globe, and read this portion in the article (from zdnet, which i don't reccomend, so I'll find another link to somewhere less... um somewhere I'd feel better about linking to.)
A sysadmin wrote this angry message to Google about this:
"Do you see the impact you created for thousands of us without any warning or explanation? We are not your test subjects," said an angry sysadmin. "We are running professional services for multi million dollar programs. Do you understand how many hours of resources were wasted by your 'experiment'?"
Dear Sysadmin: Yes, yes you ARE their test subjects, according to their behavior. Take this as a lesson to NOT use their services or their products, because they treat you as a test subject, _always._
Also, they're not the only one.
(I seem to recall finding this in Firefox at one point and saying "HELL NO WTF")
Я не согласен. Если хочешь постить приложения для паблика, тогда конечно нужен Snap Store. Но у меня веб приложения ходят на Snap без никакого магазина. В плане изоляции Snap более продвинут чем FlatPak судя по документации.
@rysiek "I understand that federation and defined protocols that third parties can develop clients for are great and important ideas, but unfortunately they no longer have a place in the modern world." (Moxie, 2016)
@aral BTW apart from OpenNIC do you know any reasonable decentralised alternatives to DNS? Emercoin, Namecoin are effectively dead. There's ENS for Ethereum but serves slightly different purpose.
@Ferretsyndicate@radical.town The sentiment may be not mutual granted what communists did with anarchists after October Revolution

Linus Torvalds: Git is a distributed version control system, which means even if you lose a remote, you still have your local copy, so your code is safe, unlike centralized VCSes.
Developer Community: wut?
Microsoft: Hmm. How about you use our Visual Studio Online and push it to GitHub, both hosted on our computers, so that you don't have a local copy?
Developer Community: Yaay! Such innovation! Very cloud! Much wow! 🎉
Trump: Thou shall not use US services.
Developers: Where's my code? 😭

"Dutch investigators say they have intercepted telephone calls that implicate the Russian government in the MH17 downing over Ukraine in 2014."

[BREAKING] Leaked Facebook emails reveal "number one threat" to its platform: decentralized platforms.
Centralised Architectures in Internet Infrastructure
Centralised deployment models for Internet services and Internet business consolidation are well-known Internet trends, at least when it comes to popular and user-visible service. This memo discusses the impacts of similar trends within the Internet infrastructure, on functions such as DNS resolution.

Wow, for a moment I was thinking maybe she speaks of the "new ice age" (proposed by some scientists back then) or ozone layer depletion, but she specifically mentions greenhouse gases.
That's Margaret Thatcher in UN, 1989
@mhamzahkhan Also check https://falco.org/ I've just recently discovered it but looks very interesting
@mhamzahkhan Thank you :) I have learned about these things from other people too, so always open to exchanging experience!
