Photons are both particles and waves, not only waves (that’s because of the wave-particle duality discovered by/after Einstein’s theories).

Yes, the point with Iroh and IPFS is that they are content-adressed, and therefore addressable, so they massively deduplicate what is uploaded, and as a consequence there is hardly any redundant data, if not no redundant data, and that makes it more efficient, reducing the bandwidth and space required on all nodes, so if something is archived once, then all subsequent archives of that same thing will be just references to the original file, and will be very resilient since It’s like a torrent (you can seed, pin, or hydrate the content so it won’t disappear so easily).

I don’t think so if it’s not in a single central server. Although I can be wrong, that’s not the point I mean by uncensorable and undeletable, what I mean is something like a government, agency or person can’t arbitrarily try to shut down, censor or delete something legitimate that’s archived, like has actually happened with Wayback Machine (and what’s thus one of the main reason why I propose this); of course I don’t want CSAM, doxxing, GPDR violations or illegal content whatsoever, and if the authors wants their content deleted, they obviously have the right to be forgotten, but there’s also situations when a web is totally taken down in a illegal or arbitrary way, or when something turns into lost media or almost lost media, and that’s when this is valuable, along with making the collective memory more reliable and durable.

Yeah, it’s archiving the Web (and more, basically a digital time capsule) then publish that to AP so it’s more accesible, and of course have a web and/or a native client where you can manage easily all of that (with a UX similar to the one in Wayback Machine).

It’s better in my view. It can be done but then it’s again scattered. Like, what I think about is something like Wayback Machine but totally FLOSS and descentralized.

Repost: I don’t think so, because IPFS is just more sort of a framework and platform to those kind of applications, something as Nostr or some types of S3 storages, or a CDN. What’s necessary thus is all the business logic, the specialized nodes and clients, the metadata, identifiers and namespaces so that that application is not just a directory spread over IPFS (or in our case, Iroh, which is much better than the vanilla IPFS node, Kubo). Something also like in HTTPS you don’t see a lot of loose hyperlinks, but rather applications that use HTTPS underneath as another layer.

Yes, although in theory you can completely do without a Blockchain and instead use the Holochain for the entire transaction book and the backlog, although without anything economic involved since an archive has to be accessible to anyone — except perhaps some small profit in tokens for seeding, pinning and/or archiving websites or any other type of content, so that there is an incentive to make it functional. Using small-world topology to optimize such CAS also sounds attractive.

In fact; is committing a fallacy of intransitivity, that’s a type of non sequitur fallacy.

And that’s how it is in Cuba and in my country too, and that’s why I’m able to believe that about Cuba in the first place.

The Cuban and Venezuelan governments are the same: the vast majority of the population is below the global thresholds of extreme poverty, in a very precarious situation, where basic services do not work most of the time (in my country we are privileged compared to Cuba; here at least water can reach us from time to time, even if it takes a long time [normally more than a month; although the duty is that it is always present], and the electricity is cut off 8 hours a day [at least that is how it is in the state] where alive], but there is almost no drinking water service and the normal thing is that there is no electricity; they can be without electricity service for more than 18 hours); but obviously they are not going to demonstrate that just as in Brazil they are not going to show you the Favelas, they directly create tourist areas that are a bubble isolated from the reality of the country. It is simply a political ploy to pretend that everything is fine, a facade.

Exactly.

Aight. I don’t think that they really understand Marx or Engels or socialism and communism at all.

Along with how to destroy an entire’s country economy, quality of life and democracy. I don’t think either that Cuba represent any kind of threat to the US, but for a really different reason than you. You can’t defend Baphomet just to fight Lucifer, because both are two pieces of shit. And how do I lnow this? Because I personally know Cubans, and my country is going in the same direction (and is more or less the same: Venezuela).

Anyone in Silicon Valley, but especially Sam Altman, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and anyone who has anything to do with Apple.

Thanks for the invitation and advice! I would love to do it but I don’t know if I have the makings of a moderator. Although perhaps someone would be interested in moderating it, luckily that is Fediverse.

Anyway, I’m not sure where or how to create a community on my clients (Blorp on Android and Photon PWA on desktop [along with Interstellar when I don’t want to—or can’t—have my browser open]).

PS: It’s kind of funny the specificity of the percentage, I love it! 😄

It’s possible in theory, hard in practice. You can, for example, look if they have any repo with their fork (if they forked) or mirror (if just mirrored for one reason or another). Well, that’s the easy part. But even if so, you could think that you can’t know if the code in the repo is the same as the running one. But that’s not always true, as for example if the code has reproducibility guarantees; just like in F-Droid, or in Nix, or in Guix. There are projects that make it more localized, at the application level, publishing everything from the compilation recipes along with their scripts and DBOM, to their default configurations. If they claim that the program they are running follows just those structures but you cannot reproduce it when compiling or self-hosting, you may become suspicious. Of course, divergence adds another problem here, and the method is not perfect either since it depends on there being a certain initial assertion to test against your evidence, but it is much better than nothing. And I don’t know in any case why you would join an instance that claims to be reproducible but does not give access to its code or one that gives access to non-reproducible code.

Actually, that’s a problem on ActivityPub; DMs are hard to cipher within AP because of the AS and JSON-LD particularities. Though there’s some good software that done it, like Bonfire.

Well… Empty empty, I don’t think so; think about the whole issue of vacuum energy and the consequent virtual particle-antiparticle pairs, or the mere fact of the existence of quantum fields that permeate everything — like the field responsible for mass itself, the Higgs field.

That’s a simplification; a useful one, but a simplification nonetheless.
