It’s a convenient file transfer/sync tool. Copying data has to happen somehow, I’m not surprised someone thought to use syncthing for that purpose >.<, since it can do that. But its not really different than any other tool here.

Most anti copyright people I see (including me) hate those kinds of laws lol

Its a bit if an issue with the rust ecosystem in general tbh. Wish more stuff was copyleft >.<

Wonder how it interacts with neurodivergent people too :p

I use the marksman language server with my neovim configuration. It makes a navigable wiki-ish system ^., especially when you set it up with completion.wiki.style = "file-path-stem" in the .marksman.toml ( see: here for what that does.

This, plus syncthing or git, works for syncing ^.

Sounds great as long as capitalism and billionaires are eliminated. People like Bezos and the systems that enable them are the biggest threat to a better future nya >.<

Say you’re a control freak without saying you’re a control freak 🤣

Sounds like the war on general-purpose computation manufacturing

I don’t think you understand anarchism.

We need i2p or veilid torrents ASAP, to protect uploaders and downloaders. One of the main reasons people don’t seed is the threat of lawsuits.

Depends on how radical we’re talking.

On the less radical side - UBI, donations, contracts for creation of art that people want even if it’s not copyrighted afterward, Convenience Factor (often used by FOSS projects), and also the fact that a lot of art is created and intended for free redistribution anyhow ^.

On the more radical side: re-examining our entire concept of work and labour and rent, decentralused gift economies, automation, the destruction of capitalist structures as a whole, etc.

Absolutely based af :)

Thanks ^.

I have a very shitty notebook this is likely to be very useful for ;p

It might be because I live in the UK.

The internet I use is permanently stuck in “use phone carrier as backup” mode and we don’t have ipv6 because of that.

Data for me also seems stuck in ipv4.

Yes, somewhat. The problem is places still suck at adopting it, especially phone carriers, and most people are primarily connected via their phones and a lot of people even use that infrastructure as a replacement for broadband as well.

VeilID might be something you find interesting. It’s designed to solve exactly this problem by enabling most nodes to NATsmash with help for p2p stuff, and also provides a general and very strong privacy framework including torlike routing ^.

It was only unveiled at defcon this year though so the team behind it (Cult Of The Dead Cow) are trying to put docs in place ;p

Its completely written in rust, easily embeddable, has good content locality and is probably the cleanest, most performant, and most easily integrated into projects architecture for stuff like this that I’ve seen, as a programmer who’s into this space and familiar with things like i2p, tor, etc. I really hope this one takes off, and the quality of it means I really think it could (at least once they throw the docs together ;p)

How does this compare to zswap. For me, if you still want a swap device on a real disk, this might be better? Idk >.<

Edit: arch has zswap enabled by default https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap - someone below says it is better if you have zswap when you already have a swap device :)

And it’s a good thing. Fuck proprietary software 😎
