Responding to yet another "BGP hijacked by country X" incidents I can only repeatedly remind: the problem has been long fixed - see https://www.internetsociety.org/tutorials/manrs/ #internet #routing #bgphijacking
Уважайте! https://roskomsvoboda.org/47707/ кстати по-польски "уважайте" означает "осторожно" :)

Facebook now publicly praises privacy, but in court they present a different message saying “There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy” & "You have to closely guard something to have a reasonable expectation of privacy." Um, no. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/facebook-lawyer-no-expectation-of-privacy/

ℹ️⚖️ I silenced Librem.one.
The reason is that there already a lot of alt-right people on there, cause there is no real moderation.
Why not suspend Librem.one?
Cause there are probably also many people who still think Purism is trustworthy. I don't want to cut off those people from Todon.nl. So if you see a lost soul on Libre.one please tell them about the real face of Purism/Librem.one.
Alt-right/nazi/fash scum can be be reported for suspension of course

Hey, how about instead of trying to jury-rig a reliable transport protocol on top of UDP to make HTTP faster, we just put less stuff in sites? If you make HTTP faster, sites will just get even more bloated.

I'll have to bookmark to recommend to people looking for ReCAPTCHA alternatives: https://kevv.net/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/
Great overview of the topic! And the sheer volume of links he had for hated that service is was amusing.
A nice rant about #ipfs https://macwright.org/2019/06/08/ipfs-again.html
TBH I made two attempts to use IPFS but it... just doesn't. Using #dat protocol on the other hand I was able to make a working website in ~5 mins https://dat.foundation/
Here's a good, comprehensive article I found on challenges of rail electrification in UK and it comes out I'm not the only one "standing in a haze of diesel" and wondering why it didn't work https://www.railengineer.co.uk/2018/12/11/the-past-present-and-future-a-look-at-electrification-of-the-uks-railways/

@paulfree14 @axx @StuC @rysiek If there were legislation that Facebook must use open protocols such that users on Facebook could communicate with other systems not owned by Facebook and be fully interoperable then suddenly there's no reason for me to be on Facebook because I an still keep in contact with a few people on there without having a Facebook account. Siloing is the main reason that Facebook retains its power. Deteritorialize Facebook and see what happens when its in an open environment.
Ah but what about Gmail, you might say. Gmail isn't fully interoperable with other systems due to its increasingly selective blocking of any email server not run by another megacorp. They havn't completely destroyed email, but are moving towards siloing "confidential" emails.

Hey, it's only 2019 after all! :) Most railways in my home Poland were electrified like 40 years ago...
