Testing OLSR2 on the !Freedombone mesh. If this works then I'll make some toggle to switch between protocols. I could also do something fancy such as broadcasting the protocol via avahi and the automatically switching based on maximum consensus.
@thegibson I expect they're mostly for commercial or government surveillance, and it's probably not hard to make a bot which looks human enough just by mashing up random tweets.
@peter It's always a good idea to think about adversarial scenarios and security. How could someone try to stop this system working? What if there are bad peers? Does it matter if data at rest is unencrypted? Is any unencrypted data transmitted between systems? Are there any default passwords (which users won't change) ?.
@ajroach42 It's sometimes said that what goes onto the internet stays there forever, but in its current form internet content is very ephemeral. Unless you save it on local storage or put it on archive.org there's a high chance that information will disappear within a few years.
To fight Centralization: - Own your data. - Archive your data online and off. - Use decentralized services like Mastodon and Matrix and whatever whenever possible. - publish to places that aren't facebook or medium (and if you must, only use central services for syndication.)
To fight user hostility: - Use ad blockers and privacy badger - If you can get away with it, use no-script or similar when possible. - Stop using, or reduce your use of, platforms that profit from treating you poorly.
