@feld @p @silverpill @jeffcliff ok, very interesting to read these thoughts on the degraded state of IPFS and how unfit it currently is for use with fedi (in browser as an add-on and as a server).

it fits with my thesis that foss on m$github is getting slowly compromised, by the shell accounts that the corporate state have on that weaponized platform.... a controlled platform, at best, and a platform that deanonymizes devs, which is a way to control them at the very least.

Id consider going back to 2021 and looking at their codebase then, and comparing it to today, there were some very prominent independent media folk talking about IPFS back then and so i suspect that THAT is when the controlled demolition may have started. My understanding is once the corporates have their sights on a codebase they force the programmers to accept bad tradeoffs. Trade-offs exist everywhere, and permutations of tradeoffs can be chosen ad-infinitum. my learned experience is that foss on mshithub tends to not improve in ways that would allow it to compete with corposhit, especially in the #ux department.

to accelerate  fediverse centric adaptations, just over a week ago i wrote about having #ipfs on another repo and i now, having read both your comments i think it may need to indeed be a fork. a week ago i suggested the acronym DCN (decentralised content network) a tongue-in-cheek reference/reversal of CDN....

so yeah if anyone wants to run with that idea, u have my blessing

@Hyolobrika @nadia the year is 2024.

this is important. because in 2024 there is no longer an excuse. #msgithub

How about just starting the day by saying, "Today I will not use Microshaft GitHub, or CloudGlare GitLab, because its time to support a diverse #ecosystem of development, and by feeding monopolies I would in the long-term, hurt myself and those I love."

Start the day like that and get the fu$k over it.

@Jerry
Is there a non-#MSGitHub version?

We would love to look at it, but on MSG means it will take a random but not trivial length of time before we can take a look, and a random non-trivial length of time before we can get back to you that we have looked at it.

Has anyone successfully setup #BTCPayServer to federate over #I2P network, rather than than Tor?

From this resource it would appear not:

While on the topic of #federated systems, aren't #bitcoiners embarrassed that they're on the invasive #MSGitHub platform? This question extends to #fedizens who list the #MicroShaft forge prominently in their bio.

The sooner we use alternative #forges day-to-day, or move to something like #ForgeFed the better.

@mconley
Now we just need them to stop sending things to Google via "#GoogleSafeBrowsing" and other telemetry.

Or get them to publicly endorse the #DigitalFeudalismCounteraAction setup that blocks the plutocrats at the network level. 😄

If they are seriously using #MSGitHub at Mozilla, then really what hope is there?

Riddle me this.

Seriously like what the hell.

#git #gitRepos

If everyone in #GNULinux and #FOSS was an unencumbered #whiteHat, #Microsoft wouldn't have existed beyond 2017, possibly sooner.

It's clear that #blackHats exist in the #freedomSoftware space.

How can we expect blackHats to gain knowledge on whiteHats and to inhibit them? Universities? MSGitHub? #LinkedIn? CloudFlare'd services?

Our thinking is 'all of the above', but the most effective tools hide in plain sight — #MSLinkedIn and #MSGitHub.

Use them at your eventual peril.
