Is there some way to mirror the original bar? I’d like access to open folders & softs on both.

Thanks again!

Hey it actually works! But it only gives me an empty one 😅

Does Mint let you do that? I was mildly annoyed about having the “bar” only on one screen, I did some looking around but didn’t find anything useful.

Now this is interesting, I know about Tor ofc, with all problems surrounding it (exit nodes etc) but I guess an onion website could be made well protected and shared & updated. You have to host it yourself though I guess.

Freenet, gotta dig down and see how it works under the surface, it looks very promising but it’s kind of complex and I haven’t yet figured out if it is all benevolent sharing for example and what happend if some random node sharing your stuff goes offline.

Very interesting!

I think (I’ll dig more to see if it stands) my advantage would be the redundancy (so the data always stays up and is hard to take down), the no need of benevolent nodes, and potentially the ease if use.

Thanks!

Interesting!

I poked around in the (slightly verbose) documentation and stumbled onto this:

Servers should not re-use URIs, regardless of the mechanism by which resources are created. Certain specific cases exist where URIs may be reinstated when it identifies the same resource,

So I wonder if it has the same inbuilt limitation that IPFS has, which means you cannot just update the data you are sharing, without also having to create a whole new link (I know IPFS are trying to work around that, but have seen no decentralised solution yet).

I’ll poke around some more!

Thanks for the link, I hadn’t heard of them before.

Cheers

Ha ha yeah if there were only more competition :-D

The idea is people run nodes (the hard part: routing incoming internet traffic to your PC) and nodes chit chat (any new nodes? Hey I just changed IP address!, … etc) so that there is a lots if known nodes. Identities rely on RSA keys (like ssh does).

Then on top of that (thus making it useful) you can propose a deal for another node: you share my data and I’ll share yours.

Which means people can access your data from your PC or from that other node sharing it for you.

Share it with several nodes (you obviously are sharing theirs) and there will a very high probability your data is accessible all the time.

The sharing is completely trust-less, if a node stops sharing your data, you just stops sharing theirs and gets a new partner, no hard feelings.

Added bonus is that it might be shared all over the world, so hard to take down.

All traffic and data is encrypted, so no node even knows what they are sharing.

You can change IP:port address, and update your data easily (that was the big work to be fair).

That’s about it, the implementation is written in python3 + cryptodome and uses RSA & AES-CTR.

The basic use could be to host a website, or a chat for example.

What do you think?

I’m building a sort of new internet protocol, so that we can do away with registrars and dns servers (so everyone can have their “web site”). But I’m quite abysmal when it comes to get people interested :-p

Well not too up to date as we just have witnessed 😁

Doesn’t work for me (lemmy.mindoki.com) okay I maybe have only one or two users but still 😅. BTW I had to tilt the phone to get put of the too small “reactive” page so that the search bar showed up.

Can someone back up my claim that 10-20GB writes per day is nothing for a modern SSD?

Edit: with a 256 TBW and a 20GB write/day it gives some 13.000 days so the lifespan of an SSD will largely be the limiting factor.

Lol 😁 those people sure do know how to acronym!

I know TWAIN, so mow I’m curious what SANE stands for.

I think you don’t understand how federation works.

It’s like you show something sensitive on TV, and you want to “erase” that from everyone seeing it.

Lemmy isn’t centralized like Reddit or Facebook.

Impossible to be done if not every servers plays by the rules.

Sort of non news too, “don’t put sensitive data on display, especially on the internet”.

Do you know if it works well with GPIO from python? IIRC I had to use a OPi image and then fix and compile some low level lib.

Slightly less good (software wise) but so much worth the money IMO. I’d avoid like the i96(IIRC. If no video output well I couldn’t setup ssh etc. That was some time ago so take the information with a grain of salt).

It’s a little more difficult space to navigate but worth it if you know why you want one for sure.

If it should be done say only twice a day, then your way would be completely cumbersome.

I imagine open source boot software being better than closed source (a real no brainer) but whats the difficulties with the open one? I’m not very versed in those very low level things.

Splurged some crazy money on a Crucial MX 256GB, 320€ IIRC, I still think about it sometimes but god what an upgrade :-)

After years as my boot device it spent running lots of familys PCs witbout a hiccup, now it’s retired as a small extra ssd in a linux box.

I remember there were single cells, double now triple and quadruple, and back in the day single wete considered the best, IDK what’s the story today.

Thank you!
