I like the article, but agree with so many of the comments here as well.

Ultimately I think one thing I'd love for would be a way to simply provide services (like Immich) for people but where the client is end to end encrypted, and neither the user nor the service has to worry about the how.

Example: how can I share an Immich with my family and friends, but where I don't have access to any of their data. I.e. what signal does, but immich or any other service. I want to share my server with friends/family, but I don't want access to any of their data. It isn't a lack of trust, it's that I don't want that as even something they have to worry about

That same concept then extends here to community hosting. If we can solve the problem for a few, it should be scalable to many.

Thank you for the detailed reply! Yeah I realize now Mestastic.Org has everything I need.

Planning to prolly get:

A rak wireless kit for a local repeater on my roof powered via PoE, and then a TTGO TEcho for my personal device.

I know that I should just get the latter and play with it first, but I live high on a hill with a great vantage point of the city so feels like a disservice to the community if I don't also host a repeater.

One thing I'm curious about, is if I use it via poe, can I also send messages via the repeater? I.e. locally from my network initiate a message through my repeater?

I would want it in repeater mode so it would forward any message even ones I don't have the encryption key for.

How do I do this? Shats the easiest way to get started?

Both a personal device and a repeater on my house

Religious extremists.

Yes. Clickbait shit

I can't wait for mine.

Just provide a way to self host searx instance and then provide nightly backups of the DB so you don't have to run the crawler

Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they're doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.

Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success

My point wasn't that the switch was or wasn't flipped, but that, do we know there isn't a bug or electrical failure that caused the computer to think it was flipped when it wasn't.

Idk it seems very unlikely given how carefully designed aircrafts are, but so many things are less "control by wire"

though airplanes do seem to retain that safety still... but Boeing's recent decade with the new max planes def leaves me with some doubts of their quality and design decisions.

Well, we're told it can't happen by accident. I agree that it probably can't, but I also don't know how all the wiring and programming is made.

I love graphene.

Fuck that. I love my 6ghz WiFi.
