And to add to all of that the user experience is bad.

If you want to get the job (of publishing a blog) done fast, and move on, then use WP. If you want to mess around probably look at editorjs.io.

At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

Yeah Microsoft for what’s worth does play ball, you can open complaints and they’ll actually read those and act fast. Google is a total pain to deal with, even if you’re on some type of google partnership they’ll not do much.

It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting.

I do save my settings for the various programs in a git repository…

If it need documentation means things are over the line when comes to complexity and I should scale down / simplify. :)

Complexity and over-engineering are a serious problem, I really try to keep it as simple as possible so I don’t have to waste time managing it, dealing with updates and potential security issues. Simple code/infrastructure breaks less and has less potential insecure points.

Unless someone finds a way to advertise nodes that doesn’t depend on the entry point then yes. Consider this example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1b2460bd5824170ab85757e35f81197199cce9d6/src/chainparams.cpp#L112 if someone takes down those domains it is game over for a new node until someone updates the code.

I get your point, those systems make it harder to take down things permanently but they aren’t as resilient and perfect as people paint them to be - an it has nothing to do with being pedantic, it is just the reality of things.

My point was: if you still need some central point of contact what’s the point in decentralized, you can still get fucked.

For instance the DHT systems you talk about, they’re good but still require some centralized points. In a bittorrent network with DHT a new client cannot join without either a tracker or the knowledge of at least one member of the network to exchange peers with. Bitcoin still has some hardcoded DNS seeds in the core client… etc.

bittorrent decentralization

True bittorrent decentralization never happened.

There’s no real / true decentralization. You’re always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there’s also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you’ve to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.

I wouldn’t. Those kinds of maps are very powerful, they provide accurate and constantly updated information from millions of users.

This is great news!

Let me rewrite a part:

Why is this important? Because intelligence agencies (in Europe) allegedly don’t want to depend on Google (most likely NSA controlled) and might be using the data from OSM and they want to make sure it is good.

When facebook was all over removing anti-vaxx posts and “misinformation” that later turned out to be very close to the truth that guy was okay with “working close with the regime”, now he suddenly isn’t. I wonder…

Yeah, that’s a good one as well.

Filebrowser is great, it just lacks two things 1) 2FA and 2) the always upcoming OnlyOffice integration. If we got those two nothing else could ever compete with it. It already does pre-views and text editing, but Office documents would be great.

I can split the config to another file, not really a big deal. :)

In the simplest form it might be SSO. It does support multiple users and if you look for instance at the filebrowser it’s very possible to pass the username. But yes, this is very simple, very crude and exactly what a lot of people need.
