OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.

Does that count?

Same.

Brexit

To be fair to the French, they do try to stop the boats. For example: https://www.thelocal.fr/20230902/tighter-french-coast-patrols-in-place-to-stop-channel-migrants

However what went missing after Brexit was the Dublin convention where migrants could be turned back to the first EU country they entered, in this case France.

I think the government tried to negotiate a returns agreement with the french who basically just said “Non!” and that was it. There is a deal where the UK pays France to patrol their coastline and stop migrants however. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong about this last part.

Can peertube be run over I2P or are there technical limitations preventing it?

Compiled my own kernel way back when and decided that network support wasn’t really needed, on a computer locked away in a room to which I didn’t have access, late one evening with nobody else around to unlock it.

Also deleting the whole /boot folder to see if I could fix it.

Time or money?

Time to openstreetmap, i2p, Wikipedia and others. Money to KDE, UN, Amnesty, and others.

“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” ― Josh Bazell, Wild Thing

Not for a Finn. 🤣

Have a look at i2p and yggdrasil. Sounds a bit like that’s what you’re looking for.

My first computer had a clock speed of 3.5MHz. That’s probably a lot slower than most activity bracelets today. 😆

Seems to be doing a good job. Around 3TB transferred over the last 50+ days. I’m happy that I don’t have a metered connection.

I run an I2P instance and I’m starting to look at Plex. I wonder if those can be combined.

What makes it different is that I2P uses something called garlic routing to anonymize you and everyone participating in the swarm. So nobody can tell what you’re downloading, except those in the same swarm, but they can’t tell who you are because your id in the swarm isn’t connected to your IP-address.

Other than that it’s pretty much normal torrenting. Many clients such as BiglyBT already support I2P.

Perhaps today is the day?

“Public Service Announcement”, sorry, I thought that was a common shorthand.

With all this fame I can probably quit my job and become a full time influencer.
