WEBDEVS: We just published the #torrent for this #icon pack over I2P. A benefit of using this icon is it cannot legally be used to link to non-#AGPLv3 servers like #Fbook's. It's only 1Mb so there are no excuses. 😋
"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.
a plea for keeping physical libraries available. (but it is key to remember that all living library collections include materials that come and also go)
@jeffcliff@brewsterkahle That is an interesting option, though I'm not sure #Tor is preferable to #I2P for torrenting or other #bittorrent-adjacent protocols (even if it lacks padding, loop messages, delays, batching, etc) .
Although they're not using the default Tor network, their implementation doesn't seem like it'd quite reach the effectiveness of an actual #mixnet.
That could of course be added to their protocol in time.
So the new Instagram text thing is reported to have ActivityPub support and instead of being happy at all the new labor that could potentially be coming to the standard, Mastodon people are now actively encouraging instances to not federate with any of that stuff. K.
@SecurityWriter@film_girl I think we should've been regarding that as extremely likely anyway and investing in #AnonymousNetworks a whole lot more, such that finding the host of any given service or instance is somewhere between impractical and just not happening.
Along with such precautions, maximizing the ability ability for our software to operate across and between multiple networks.
