Just post an external URL to it like i did, similar to old reddit

It’s also more lightweight to the instances, I strictly only upload images I don’t want to rot on here

They used to say NordVPN would boost your game’s latency in their ads so I’m not surprised

There’s the lijiang tower map that has some really cool aesthetics, I’d say kinda cyberpunkysh:

One thing I don’t like about this new Anna’s archive is the fact they have no fedi/Matrix/XMPP presence.

They only exist on Telegram, Reddit and Twitter. Why? Maybe it’s easier to avoid problems there? I don’t know, but I don’t think it would hurt them to be on other platforms too. Maybe they don’t have the resources to be there too? I mean, it does make sense they only exist on mainstream platform, after all that is their target, but it’s still sad.

The website is awesome though, as well as their mission

Nice article, still waiting for the day when I can 3D print my own solar panels

There’s this project: https://watchit.movie/#/ https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app

I never got to try it, but they are doing exactly what you want it seems. I don’t know how much of their backend they have open-sourced, though. I definitely need to research this more.

They do have a matrix channel and a fediverse presence, so they already look quite alright from the start, and the project is very interesting.

A Fairphone 3/4 might be your solution, definitely check it out

They said they wanted to support it for more than 5 years but the industry won’t allow it since they stop distributing the components after a few years, but they are gonna support it as far as they can AFAIK.

As of August 2023, the best way to avoid the problem of

untampered compiler

AFAIK Is using an MNT Reform With GNU Guix as its OS, I really liked this article “The Full-Source Bootstrap: Building from source all the way down”. This approach could, potentially, solve the problem of the untampered compiler. Damn, maybe it already does.

As for the MNT Reform, the only thing I’m not sure is open is the actual processor firmware, but the schematics for its usage are available and even the Wifi firmware is open, so there remains the problem of actually verifying the hardware you get is actually the hardware you ordered, but that is a bit more complicated I think.

Very interesting article, never assume that a single assembly instruction can’t be a bottleneck!

This seems much more exploitable than Meltdown/Spectre.

I wonder when fully libre/open source CPUs will appear. Maybe then we’ll just reprogram the FPGA in our CPUs and things like this will stop happening.
