@enigmatico @sc_griffith > (Then you look into the Moomba's website and you notice that the project is backed by at least two major corpos)

That's not inevitably a red flag, so long as the project doesn't /depend/ on them. If it starts to, forking considerations should be taken in mind.

@lanodan @mirabilos @phnt They can perfectly work on a user level and Veilid has shown a very simple way of ensuring that even for low technical literacy noobs.

Simply build the support for it into the application/program (personally I much prefer pluggable transports but that's right back to noob-unfriendly). A lot of them already conflate "Facebook" (or whatever other brand app) with the Internet or don't understand they're all technically using the same network. So there's no user-facing change (to their understanding) there.

Sure it's more efficient and provides much better anonymization opportunities to have something aware of the global communication state and managing it (Veilid does also support a daemon mode like I2P & Tor do), but it'll still work.

Got to love anticompetitive practices.

Indeed.

That was sarcasm, obviously. (I don't feel like opening up the client capable of edits atm)

@lanodan @mirabilos @phnt > I don't think it's a monkey paw, it's the equivalent of saying "No, you cannot run an email server that's an open-relay".

Do you really expect ISPs to be reasonable about it? Or to act in good faith?

> And services *exclusively* available via overlay networks are basically either toys for nerds, or are for criminals.

Everything should be mostly or only available through those. Because of the middlebox problem it is /impossible/ to switch to a content-addressed model without those anyway. (It's also generally a bad idea to tie the hardware to a particular protocol/scheme.)

That's a monkey paw one. Don't.

The clearnet has long outlived its usefulness as anything other than a routing layer for overlay networks. It has been unsafe and unfit for anything else for decades now.

Manhua presence is unexpected though.

@davidaugust @pluralistic Makes El Salvador sounds like a totalitarian shithole.

How far off the mark is that impression?

@angelastella @wakame Well, that is one way yes, I was mostly wondering how this specific instance by @markarayner does.

I would be inclined to have a dedicated autorepeat on/off switch and leaving it off entirely most of the time.

@Natanox @CiaraNi @jalict > It should just work, tinkering with it doesn't have to be exciting.

Here bidets are aftermarket add-ons (built-in is far too overpriced). Not anything exciting or complicated, but something that needs doing anyway.

I don't use a car, but apparently with newer DRM-locked cars it can be necessary to modify the seats to enable heating feature & so on.

> To share a buyer's guide for ready-to-use Linux devices would be more useful in most cases.

I would recommend against using pre-installed OSes in /general/, whether Linux, Windows or something else.

They usually come with pre-installed bloatware and potentially malware.

Linux distros tend to come with weird nonstandard package repositories that aren't properly maintained.

@Suiseiseki > There is the option of putting a power conditioner in between, but those are is expensive.

Yeah, in theory and practice that should work, but I'm weirded out by the manuals for conditioners warning against that use. Whatever else do they expect them to be used for?

Utterly befuddling.

Double-conversion UPS manuals that warn not to use with an alternator generator. Other equipment for power correction by the same company carrying the same warnings.

wtf is one supposed to use then? Are they just expecting one to melt the generator for scrap and buy an inverter one instead?

Even if the clipper chip had been made widely present/available, would it even have seen any use?

The OpenBSD-like approach of just refusing to use hardware accelerators would have defeated its point.

Proper (software-based) encryption could have been used atop it.

Was anyone pushing it even thinking about it for a few minutes?

@p @scathach @jeffcliff @sicp @Suiseiseki It's not even the rights assignment all that much (though it is distasteful at best), it sucks in that aspect, but the hard no-deal is the mandatory doxing (which they incidentally require for the corposcum behavior).

@sicp @scathach @jeffcliff @p @Suiseiseki I have been keeping an eye on Genode, though I am disappointed by the contribution agreement.

Working on it (rather than with it) would consequently require forking it.

> Unless you're doing pure message passing it sounds like you'd need either a runtime or some hairy control scheme in order to get this to work.

If the system is a Lisp runtime with support for first-class global environments, that one runtime is enough.

Otherwise one gets back to process-based separation using the kernel and messaging overhead goes back up.

@sicp @scathach @jeffcliff @p @Suiseiseki > Sounds proprietary. :absolutely_proprietary:

It's comparable to a lambda in Emacs Lisp (to a more limited extent, Elisp gets weird about the lexical vs dynamic situation and there are a bunch of caveats) or Common Lisp.

One can put access to some resources inside of one, and from within the language there is simply no way for anything receiving that lambda to crack it open and retrieve that resource (at least without messing with FFI and starting to parse the runtime's memory).

> A process shouldn't have to give away the resources you don't need, but whatever you get your hands on you should be able to do with what you please. If you're just sending blunt data it's not even a problem.

Consider C as the host language. It permits any function to dig into any memory it feels like. There is no simple way to have separate programs share memory without also enabling ambient authority of that sort.

And so an additional runtime capable of enforcing sane isolation properties becomes necessary.

That said, Common Lisp as standardized isn't sufficient for a single runtime with arbitrary program threads. Nesting environments without arbitrary access to others (via various dynamic/special elements) would be necessary (concepts written about in SICL, first-class global environments).
