It is really fucking scary how many websites are behind a #Cloudflare these days.

This amount of #centralization is disturbing.

The #matrix.org Homeserver is down, and will be for some time.

This is why it's a bad idea to just use the default instance in any decentralized network. It leads to centralization and any issue will impact disproportionally more people, not just the local users but also anyone they want/need to communicate with on other instances. Not to mention the longer time to recover due to the data size.

Status update: we’re 47TB through restoring the 55TB db snapshot of the matrix.org DB, but then have to rebuild the DB and replay the subsequent 17h of DB traffic, which will take several hours. Thank you for your patience, and apologies once again for the outage.

@static @Noisecolor TBH, #npm suffers the same problems and then some as #AUR and has seen it's fair share of #abuse and #CyberVandalism ranging from malicious commits to flat-out #malware distribution, so it has the #centralization problem!

@finalstaticfox @dansup Well, #Ethereum is a #Shitcoin and it's "#GasWars" really make it not conducive to #payment applications.

  • That being said #Monero doesn't have that issue and is also fully #private as in noone can see the senders' balance, sender, amount sent, beneficiary and their balance without having full access to both wallets. #ProofOfStake rather increased #centralization compared to #ProofOfWork just like ASIC-based mining did.

Again, I don't deny the problems. I just think it's way less sussy than Western Union or god forbid Hawala...

The #myth of the modern #market, backed by #neoliberalism’s #destruction of the #commons (#Dardot & #Laval), is just the latest outcome of millennia of #domination through #centralization, #specialization, and successive #proletarianizations (#Stiegler).

@bakerjohnj #Virilio, through its critique of #technology, #speed and #accident, allows us to dive into the depths of #time where multi-millennial #dominations are masked, and to reflect on their possible #disappearance, before the complete accident, the result of the policy of #centralization and #specialization, occurs.
