@eri On the contrary, if you need HTTPS it means you're using the wrong network.

The should be deprecated.

And HTTPS on & (among others) is risky for a number of reasons (especially with enabled OCSP querying).

@theresnotime > The option for corporations to refuse to serve
The internet and other similar networks are essentially critical infrastructure and required for full social opportunities, but at the same time the is unsafe.

So ensuring access to all (infrastructure is a public good) and ensuring we don't misuse it is important.

@theresnotime No application or service should be directly doing anything with the .

and is way too easy on it because of its structure and it can't really be fixed at the physical/infrastructure level, even if the will was present (and it most certainly isn't).

@theresnotime The option for corporations to refuse to serve say... critics of monopolies though is one of the many reasons networking infrastructure should be nationalized infrastructure.

The insane way Canada and USA does things right now gives an absurd amount of power to private monopolies that do not have their users' best interests at heart.

As for the routing part, it's really just that we're all idiots for relying on the as anything more than a routing layer.

Strongly recommend w highest Safety level and added, as per how provide Tor to . Great for browsing the and onion sites. Put the addon button in the topbar to easy enable js for trusted sites.

For we recommend a Firefox based browser that is hardened like TorBrowser. A good place to start is the spyware.neocities.org site, and the Archlinux wiki (surprisingly), on hardening Firefox-based browsers.

> this would only work if you know exactly what inputs/outputs you will need

Could the installer tell the person which packages or sources a person will need to download and put on USB or DVD to perform the install? The person can then use their initiative to fetch the files and put them on disk.

Upon inserting the disk the installer looks for such files to verify them and proceed with the install?

Going on gives data to repressive entities unnecessarily.

@accretionist @tante You know, there's this, but then somehow manages to do better with a fraction of the funding, by simply giving up on the pretense the was not doomed from the start as anything other than a transport layer due to its inherent design flaws.

I2P also has more than one implementation, significantly reducing bus factor.

And then there's also , which occupies a somewhat weird in-between space.

@ellenor2000 Aye, and yes.

A lot of good ideas there, and unlike *many* other protocols and standards, it lends itself exceedingly well to , as it was in fact a major design consideration.

It makes its use away from the , or indeed away from any network or peer outside of occasional synchronization, a definite option.

@mariusor @efi @schappi The domain should be treated much like a phone number or DHCP-assigned address, a convenient routing short-hand that shouldn't be relied on in the long-term.

This would have some very good implications for portability of instances away from the as well.

@efi @schappi Impersonation, but it'd break pretty instantly since the instance no longer has the same key.

In fact, anyone who saw the previous version would have a pretty hard time even intentionally federating with the new one.

It's one of the other major issues with domain names not canonically being remotely unique over time while assuming in one's program that they are.

@moof @efi @darkphoenix Perhaps not the same reasons as me, but having to get hosting has some pretty nasty deanonymization / risks and some considerable costs.

The assumption of constant end-to-end connectivity also greatly complicates multi-network uses such as say... hosting on , and (for example) at the same time. Or hosting primarily on I2P but intending to interact with clearnet instances.

In general, sadly was ignored.

@jeffcliff @brewsterkahle One of the issues with seeding or on the is that in some countries like mine that is actively hazardous.

As of the last time I checked, there's no prison involved, but the monetary penalties are steep-enough to dissuade the non well-off and the & publisher cartels are petty enough to bother with lawsuits with a guaranteed inability to recover legal fees.

@disabled Interfering with basic infrastructure routing isn't okay.

Of course this whole issue flows from the 's clear (hah) inadequacy at being anything more than an inter-network transport layer (yeah it's literally in the name: internet, it's a routing layer not a messaging layer) which shouldn't be directly be used by any program, but unfortunately the majority have made and continue to make this mistake.

Yet another reason the widespread hosting on the is a bad idea.

So long as we haven't gone with , it is a bad idea to do anything on it.

In gaining additional from the easy , we also get to disregard stupid laws that aren't worthy of any respect.

Turns out the IWF gleefully reinforces the ecosystem the corposcum have put in place.

It's all by design of course. It puts a minimum & mandatory price-tag on community-hosting on the and if you don't go along with the extortion you face the risk of serious legal consequences & prison the moment a user or paid provocateur posts any CP on your services that evades your notice for long-enough.

@coolboymew @alex @graf@poa.st @Moon And once more I'm vindicated in my statements that hosting anything or on the as non-corporations is unsafe and made intentionally so too.

(That specific incident feels like old news at this point, but anyway.)
