I don't really get the idea of decentralized internet.

The internet is already decentralized. There are millions of websites hosted on thousands of separately-owned machines.

"Decentralized" services like the fediverse use thus exact same structure and bind them together by a search/aggregation API.

The "centralized" part of the internet is DNS/IP Assignments, Service providers, and search.

You are perfectly allowed to go your whole life without using search, or by self-hosting searX.

If we go back to the age of webrings, that is essentially decentralized internet. It seems like every decentralized internet idea is just a rehash of this with some Tor ideas sprinkled in.

You are never going to be able to pull a "Silicon Valley" and make every device into a mini server. The ping and uptime would be horrific.

Like how the traitor insurrectionists were that tried to overthrow the government? A lot of good that did lol.

Hopefully with biden in charge during the next attempted coup in a few months things will be handled instead of ignored.

This seems like classic corporate backtracking when their customers spot a terrible, deliberate decision.

That being said, I am happy about it. I got my company to use it and finally got my girlfriend to use it and just recommended it to her brother. Would hate to have to try to find something else

Freecad mainline.

The feature freeze is on and they have a UI overhaul and a Topological Naming Problem fix.

I am using the 0.22 dev version with the fix and oh boy it makes a huge difference. Obviously deleting a face where there was a feature attached to results in an error still. It makes it viable to use the mainline instead of realthunder fork.

To be fair, the UK is essentially aiming to be America 2.0

Many countries are trending more expensive (Belgium went up 30% house price in 4 years) but the UK is on another level of the wealthy literally owning all property and purposely leaving tens of thousands of houses empty just to spite the working class.

Parent control

I thought someone had gone to the waybackmachine and confirmed that it said it was optional initially and changed it when they made this decision?

The problem with that is that will cause areas to drive up housing prices to expand the untaxed group to general more "upper middle class" to price out undesirables and draw in higher earners as a form of tax break. This already happens without the tax bracket scaling and would probably get 10x worse.

I don't have a great alternative, but maybe a weighted CoL combined with 0% below median income in the district? Something like that, but that would probably cause low CoL areas to pay way more taxes. Maybe I am thinking of it wrong.

To reduce that, there are a few things you can do.

Option 1:

  • Only open port 443 and run everything through a reverse proxy like traefik. You can open other ports ad you need them (game server for example)

  • Run crowdsec to get rid of 95% of bad actors

  • Whitelist IPs that you know traffic will be coming from and drop everything else

Option 2:

  • wireguard VPN and just VPN into your home network to access your server

Option 3:

  • Run tailscale

  • run fail2ban

Yes during winter when we need to heat anyway, but the extra energy cost (as seen through the energy meter) is more than 200€ per year here in belgium. I can't justify that cost right now.

That's what happens to monopolies and oligopolies. Pretty much unilaterally. That is the steady state of capitalism without very heavy government regulation

Not a fan od it. I had more of a problem with unattended upgrades at least weekly restarting my system even though I had restarts explicitely disabled.

After a lot of "impossible" in the support forums saying "that would never happen" even after showing that it happened in flesh during the unattended upgrade, I uninstalled it and voila, I have only had a restart intentionally or by a crash.
