Yes. I wanted to write max.

All files stored on IPFS are public. It’s also incredibly slow and inefficient. You would be better off using BitTorrent.

Maybe it’s in an airport within a ski field?

They killed Cortana?

Let them go bankrupt

Hm not sure what to make of this. The author of the article states pretty clearly what company they are affiliated with. The comments seem to push a product called Splunk which doesn’t appear in the article at all.

Lemmy is the only community I know where claims of “toxic extreme leftist” cannot easily be dismissed.

I haven’t recognized any posts as covert ads here I think. Can you give an example?

The NGO is a decoy organization with exactly the same people (minus one) as the VC funded startup. Go look at the “core spec team” and find out which organization they belong to.

Your information on XMPP seems to be quite outdated. File transfer in XMPP is now mostly done by uploading the file via HTTP and sending the URL. Audio calls are done using WebRTC and work two ways.

Telegram requires internet access and even worse, relies on a central server. It’s not a mesh network.

Every website has access to the password you use on that website. ALWAYS use unique and randomly generated passwords for every service.

“protocol extensions” (aka: incompatible)

Reality shows that implementations can very well implement the same extensions. If you don’t use extremely outdated clients you will find they do have compatible file transfer and A/V calls. ActivityPub works the same way.

Meanwhile Matrix Ltd. cooks up a completely new, incompatible protocol instead of building upon existing internet standards.

I don’t see the reason we need a venture capital funded bloated protocol anyways. Just switch to XMPP. It’s much more lightweight and it’s the internet standard for instant messaging.

XMPP works well and the community is actively developing server and clients. There aren’t any big corporations funding it anymore that’s all. Still the best instant messaging protocol in 2023.

Here is what I used before I switched to desec.io: https://gist.github.com/haansn08/50565768c66c5fbf382b2bc2484e8a41

tar + netcat are really nice. Not very secure but gets a folder from A to B using standard tools.

Or just have a bus factor greater than one.

I’m pretty sure they don’t profit from sending you to another McDonald’s.

feddit.uk seems to be online.

Didn’t even mention Mastodon once.
