On #Archival, #Libraries, #Analog #HumanReadable #storage and the importance of libraries as #PublicGoods.

The linked article has some unsavory takes though (particularly around gender studies), but the Fedi conversation around this thread is still interesting.

What should I use for #HumanReadable #Configuration files?

INI kinda sucks for a number of reasons, #JSON works but it's JSON, its derivatives are much the same but harder to parse...

Would that be a reasonably good match for #RecUtils?

#XML sucks as a user-facing anything.

I though of s-exps but the reality of intern bombing & arbitrary execution in the Lisp reader make me rather reluctant to keep using that now.

And Cloudflare's emergence has nothing to do with the controlled demolition of comedy and the rise of CentralBankDigitalSlavery.

Our pet peeve is how under the guise of safety they had to make the URLs go from 16 characters to 50 characters.

Gotta futureProof #Tor for the year 34288.

I2P stands for #InvisibleInternetProtocol.

Some benefits of #I2P over Tor:
🌟 its a fully #distributed network, meaning everyone using it is a node (though slow ones are less used).
🌟 it loves traffic including #torrenting and comes with a native #torrentClient,
🌟 get #humanReadable web domains not governed by an authority, eg. yaylife.i2p,
🌟 no "Guard" nodes,
🌟 the more traffic you offer the more anonymous you get!, and
🌟 no #NFT moneyLaundering goes to devteam!!!!👈 💗😂

#TorProject: Over past months we've been breaking Tor Hidden Services (#HSv2), but we are now only just telling users in the browser that those accessible #onionAddresses are being dropped.

"Oh and here is #DuckDuckGo's website, still (by some miracle, obviously) using the #humanReadable address we know you prefer.

We would honestly compile a version of Tor that had 17 letters of entropy, if 16 doesn't take enough billions of years to crack.

Tor is now officially designed to kill grassroots movements.

We can no longer support it for anything more than maintaining some of the already popular movements.

We need to trust our intuition. As much as we liked #Tor we cannot let this blind us to the notion that it is now another captured and corporatised entity.

#TorProject dropping #humanReadable and memorable addresses by forcing the adoption of #v3Addresses is an aggressive move, to kill any possibility of #grassrootsAction.

#ByeTor

"The human-moderators issue becomes less problematic if there are at least multiple authorities fully independent of one another."

This is how #i2p addressing works, if we're not mistaken. Also a #fourColoured #graphing method. It can take a few minutes for someone to have access to #i2pWebsites after performing the command, 'i2prouter start'.

Interested in #humanReadable? Then check it out :)
