I just discovered this while stumbling around:

https://yacy.net/

YaCy is free software, under the terms of the GPL 2.0, that provides a decentralized search engine. It runs on a peer-to-peer network.

Generally I've used DuckDuckGo, but this sounds even more interesting.

It may turn out to be a dud (occasionally these things are), but, I'll try it out to see.

#Decentralization #TechnologicalResistance #Encryption #P2P: "This book brings together voices from various fields of intellectual inquiry, based on the idea that technological, legal and societal aspects of the information sphere are interlinked and co-dependent from each other. In order to tackle the existing gap in shared semantics, this glossary converges the efforts of experts from various disciplines to build a shared vocabulary on the social, technical, economic, political aspects of decentralised, distributed or sovereign technologies: artefacts which seek to challenge the techno-social status quo by, for example, circumventing law enforcement, resisting surveillance, or being participative.

The idea ofthis glossary arose from the need for a workable, flexible and multidisciplinary resource for terminological clarity, which reflects instead of denying complexity. Situating the terms emerging through technology development in the wider context of multidisciplinary scientific, policy and political discourses, this glossary provides a conceptual toolkit for the study of the various political, economic, legal and technical struggles that decentralised, encryption-based, peer-to-peer technologies bring about and go through.

Choosing relevant technology-related terms and understanding them is to investigate their affordances within a given ecosystem of actors, discourses and systems of incentives. This requires an interdisciplinary, multi-layered approach that is attentive to the interlinkages between technological design nuances and socio-political, economic implications."

It might be banned on YT and not working on #altCensored by one may get the video via #I2P torrent here:
http://tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?action=Download&id=59938

The above link will not work on the normal internet. You will need to use the peer-to-peer network, called I2P to access it link.

Find the user-friendly (Java) version of I2P, with a #torrenting app included here:

Давно хотел написать - я смотрю, что многие, кто требует хороший мессенджер без привязки к номеру телефона, на самом деле хотят безнаказанности. Чтобы при любых банах создавать новый акк и продолжать доставать людей.

You'd think after nearly a decade following a project in depth every day, that there wouldn't be much left to learn but 🤦‍♂️

TIL 1: the big flaw of #blockchain and its derivatives is consensus. It was seen as essential but is its Achilles' heel because having every node in agreement comes at great cost (energy, computation, throttling, centralisation).

TL 2: you can create a #p2p robust economic system without consensus.

That's #DavidIrvine's biggest innovation in #SafeNetwork.

a #decentral #Radreise. #p2p. No central authority involved. #freedom. Similar to #email, the #fediverse and #matrix 😂 ...all parts of the #openinternet.

Upcoming ➠ Game-Changers: The Game
https://panke.gallery/event/game-changers-the-game
🎉 Get ready for an evening of excitement and engagement!

🎲 @pankegallery, Thursday, 28 September 2023, 7-10 pm

Introducing Game-Changers: The Game, a public storytelling board game that blurs the lines between reality and simulation. The stage is set for a clash between Capitalists and Commoners as they battle it out to seize the hottest buzzwords of the new economy. And that's not all - enter the interactive audience, known as “peerticipants”, who have the power to shape the game's outcome in real time.

In the game, two teams that embody seemingly opposite discursive poles – for example Capitalism vs. Commonism, Green Growth vs. Degrowth, or Vectoralists vs. the Hacker Class – compete in creating compelling storylines about transformation in order to lay claim to playing fields consisting of real-world “new economy” initiatives and related ideas.

To create these stories, the teams must use the Challenge and Intervention cards available to them at a given time or respond to the cards already linked to particular playing fields. Another, third set of cards, Wildcards, is composed of “external” events which can offer unique windows of opportunity for either team or skew the balance in a number of ways.

Audiences (peerticipants) evaluate the players’ storylines in real time and, in doing so, affect their chance of success. As a peerticipant, you also have the option to contribute prompt cards (prior to or during the event) for the players, making the game a dynamic knowledge commoning and scenario-building tool.

Get ready for an evening of interactive excitement, strategic gameplay, and meaningful reflections! We look forward to having you with us, either as a member of the audience or as an active peerticipant.

I feel like I could spend the equilvalent of a full time job solely #ripping music.

These last several weeks I've been finding, subscribing to, and local caching full albums, EPs, and compilations via #LibreTube.

Anyone have channels to recommend?
I'll post my list later on.

Thanks to all the uploaders, bands, and labels for making your music available! (Or at least not having it removed.) And artists creating the cover images!

@johnleonard nice article John 👏

I suspect projects don't mention cryptocurrency or tokens because so many people have a knee jerk reaction to them. I see it all the time when they read a bit about Safe Network and lump it in with everything they hate about the last few years. 🤷‍♂️

But as you point out, a non blockchain token or some other means to incentivise providers will be essential for a truly #p2p alternative to centralised cloud and app services.

At least #SafeNetwork kept clean of VCs

@encthenet #SyncThing is a nice tool to synchronize files between devices. Easy to use, even on smartphones.
It uses #P2P #bittorrent protocol for sharing.

Tinkoff Bank and Sberbank, prominent players in the Russian banking sector, are no longer available for peer-to-peer (#P2P) transactions on #Bybit and #OKX exchanges.
