Is there anyone who is in the #vi #broadcasting space who would like to fill in any open slots in their station programming? I have a buddy who would like to learn this skill and get some experience with today's tool chain. My experience is limited to the #winamp / #shoutcast setup that was used years ago. #a11y #internet #radio
The Man in #Seat61 seems like a relic from a forgotten age of the #Internet.
Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train
He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).
His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.
Kids, you would hate it. You would feel so alone, you'd never find your 'tribe', you'd feel like you would have to conform with what everyone else would be doing and there would be little outlet for you to complain about that.
I was a kid without Internet, the problem isn't the Internet, it's the Nazi Peados who control it. The Tech Bros, the Governments, those wankers.
Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.
Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.
Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.
A few things to be wary of:
People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

today is officially *THREE* weeks until the submission deadline for Good Internet magazine!
Good Internet launches in May 2025. it's a volunteer-run, not-for-profit print and digital quarterly magazine for personal website owners and those interested in using the internet as a means of self-expression, art, and recreation.
🔍 we're looking for 1,500-4,000 word articles about anything related to that!
if it relates to hobbies on "this side of the web," whether you call it the #smallweb or indieweb, we probably want to run it!
you can have your article as low-media (meaning only text and images) or interactive, where you code an entire webpage to help tell your story.
if you're interested in learning more, you can sign up for our email list for when we launch or you can check the submission guidelines @ goodinternetmagazine.com!
Someone on #Reddit complained about #BambuLab changing their warranty after they bought something and refusing service based on the new "terms". They used @internetarchive to prove that the change was made.
Love this! A 22-page DIY web archiving zine that "shows you why everyone should participate in preserving the things on the web they care about, and how anyone can do so (no special expertise required!)".

Another Chromium fork that basically has UBlock origin built in. Haven't tried it for accessibility but no portable version, so I won't be trying it any time soon. Still, for the brave among me, ublock-browser.com/ #Web #Internet #Chrome
On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.
"January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."
Whois is one of the older protocols still in use on the Internet, playing a critical role in managing and distributing information about domain names and Internet numbers, such as IP addresses and autonomous system numbers (ASNs). This talk focuse...
This is an important effort to help explore what can be done to make the #Web less energy-hungry…. and thereby help reduce the impact of the overall #Internet on #ClimateChange. (Since web traffic is such a huge amount of Internet traffic.) Good to see this happening!
The newly launched Sustainable Web IG will publish the Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG). The guidelines are in line with the Sustainable Web Manifesto and aligned with GRI Standards and the UN Sustainable Development Goals to help organizations in…
20 Jahre OpenStreetMap: Auf Augenhöhe mit Google Maps und Apple Maps
Als OpenStreetMap gegründet wurde, kannte es nur eine Handvoll Aktivisten. Mittlerweile ist der Globus fast abgedeckt und OSM nicht nur in Krisen nützlich.
didn't know this before, and didn't have to because i haven't installed windows in the past 10 years. but for those who need to do this, this workaround should be known:
Thankfully, there remains another way to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. When you’re at the log-in screen, you can hit Shift + F10 and type OOBE/BYPASSNRO, which will let you create a local account instead if you do not have an internet connection (so disconnect the internet for this).
Geoff Huston's offers interesting commentary on DNSSEC and the problem of securing the domain name system more generally: potaroo.net/ispcol/2024-05/dns… My own domains are DNSSEC-signed. The necessary Bind 9 configuration is simpler nowadays than it used to be, as much of the process has been automated - a welcome change. #Internet #DNS #DNSSEC #security
[ValdikSS]Возможно, вам это будет интересно. Я нашел эти ссылки в интернете.
В связи с намерениями правительства удалить всю информацию по обходу блокировок из российского сегмента интернета, кто-то, решил принять меры. 🙂
ОН, судя по всему считает, что статьи это важная часть культуры и нашего прошлого. Особенно, комментарии больших групп образованных людей на habrahabr.ru.
Этот человек, скорее всего считает важным сохранять и распространять полезную информацию. А так же, делиться мнениями других людей, т.к. это развивает и помогает обществу рости в лучшую сторону.
Не смотря на мои предположения, для меня остается загадкой мотивация этой неизвестной личности.
Но я разделяю некоторые идеи, в плане того, что знаниями нужно делиться.
Мне всегда становится грустно, когда я обнаруживаю умерший сайт, или удаленную страницу и потерянную информацию.
Поэтому, делюсь этими ссылками с вами. А вы, можете поделиться с другими. (будет что почитать, если интернет совсем кончится)
К тому же, 14 марта на хабре вышла статья "Надежный обход блокировок в 2024 протоколы, клиенты и настройка сервера от простого к сложному" под которой один человек предложил сохранить статьи по обходу блокировок. (эта статья сохранена в этом сборнике)
UPD1: "Статья уже была удалена. Но доступна если искать из другой страны."
UPD2: Сейчас, автор статей по "актуальному обходу блокировок MiraclePtr" - удален((
Учитывая времена, думаю стоит сохранить все локально, потому что не известно, какие именно категории данных будут удаляться в будущем. И нет надежды, что веб архив не будет заблокирован. Да и не понятно, как сильно все изменится со временем.
Судя по ссылкам в страницах, они были сохранены с середины марта 2024. Информация собрана по темам (список вверху) и все рассортировано по папкам.
Сохранены практически все страницы (за исключением откровенно рекламных статей).
Возможно вы встретите небольшое количество дублей, т.к. темы пересекаются. (так же, встречаются одинаковые статьи опубликованные в разное время, но имеющие разные комментарии)
Возможна какая-то информация вам будет не интересна.
Есть страницы с устаревшей информацией (с 2008 года). Они и комментарии из этих статей сохранены для истории.
В архиве есть index.html, через который можно искать статьи по ключевым словам через Ctrl+F. Так же, под этим сообщением есть скриншеты и видео о структуре.
Если у вас в закладках, есть страницы с инструкциями для построения защищенных сетей, или что-то, что вы считает полезными и это может быть потеряно, добавляйте ссылки под этим постом, с описанием. Может быть, ваша информация будет кому-то полезна.
Страницы были сохранены через невероятное дополнение: SingleFile
Если кто-то захочет оформить раздачу на rutracker, то этот человек очень поможет нашему большому обществу, когда страницы будут удалены с хабра (я считаю, это вопрос времени). Как это уже произошло со страницами сайта 4pda.to.
Хочу сказать спасибо MiraclePtr за чудесные статьи и отдельное спасибо UranusExplorer за простые инструкции. А так же, всему Хабр-сообществу, которое десятилетиями писало статьи и делилось своим мнением в комментариях.
2023 has brought lots of changes to Tuta: new name, new domain - and most excitingly lots of new team members! In 2024, we'll continue this exciting path. Welcome with us five new team members who are joining our fight for privacy!
One thing this article should remind you all about: there are three dominant #search indexes - Google, Bing, and Yandex. And Yandex is dominant outside of English.
But there are real options, and many of them are open source, especially for outside the commercial internet. (I am partial to the MarginaliaSearch project.)
Internet search engine for text-oriented websites. Indexing the small, old and weird web. - GitHub - MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch: Internet search engine for text-oriented websites. Indexing ...
this post @capjamesg wrote is almost plucked right out of my brain; been having these thoughts for a while, and i'm so glad to share it. thank you for writing it, james!
"To have a personal website is, presently, an act of rebellion. It is a statement. You are saying: I want to define my experience on the web. I'll let you in on an open secret: Big tech companies aren't the only ones who get to decide how we share ideas on the web. The web is yours. You can put up a website where you share whatever it is that you want to share with others."
I went twenty-two years not knowing how to cook an egg. Cooking classes were a rough time for an anxious student like I was. I did not know I was suffering from anxiety at the time; that is a recent realisation.
I, unironically, love Reddit. But it's just USENET with a better UI, and a few moderation improvements.
Most days I use DropBox. But it's just FTP, but a bit easier to use and automate.
I waste a lot of time on Slack. When I explain it to old-school nerds, I say it's IRC - but developed by someone who gives a damn about user experience.
Most people in the world don't have access to WWW. Instead, they use Facebook which gives them a much simpler way to post photos and share their thoughts. It doesn't ask them to hand-edit an .htaccess file.
I don't know anyone who uses Listserve. It turns out that Telegram is faster, more convenient, and doesn't require esoteric commands.
Indeed, why bother with Email? You don't need to learn how to configure SMTP when you have WhatsApp.
What other, classic, decentralised Internet tools have been turned from open protocols to closed and proprietary services?
A large part of this is our fault. And, by us, I mean gatekeeping nerds. We developed tools which were unforgiving. We had no interest in the "soft" skills of empathy. We were too socially-awkward to speak to real users. We were insular and we liked it! Worse than that - we revelled in it.
LOL! ROFL! LMAO!
And then Apple eats everyone's lunch by relentlessly focussing on being user friendly. Good for them. But it means handing over control to a single organisation.
I don't claim to be any good at user experience - far from it. But I despair at some of the redecentralised efforts I see springing up. They are technically brilliant, and follow the open-source philosophy of scratching one's own itch. And they all - without fail - are terrible to use.
Redecentralisation won't happen because of us nerds. It must happen despite us. Despite our ingenuity and despite our self-infatuation. It must be inclusive, and put user-needs at its very heart.
How long till the state outlaws it and arrests the company for selling this in the name of stopping child abuse? Joking... I hope, at least for now luckily. Thanks again for everything you've done to protect the core of an open #internet in the face of an unprecedented onslaught by world governments! ❤️ #Librem #Purism
Got just over an hour to spare? Want to learn way, way more about #modems in the 90’s, and how people got around managing both #voice and #data calls without hanging up your #internet connection and getting mad? You do? Me too. Well then.
I've been sitting on a pile of bizarre modems for years and I'm incredibly excited to show you their dumb features that you didn't want then and still don't ...
Since some time I have been drawn to research Minitel, a French Videotex-based system for accessing information that predates the Internet. It was a revolution in terms of digitalization which made activities such as buying train and plane tickets, signing up for classes and reading newspapers digitalized as early as the 80's. You can read more about it in the following Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel There were many devices invented to make Minitel accessible to the blind, although the system itself wasn't designed with this target group in mind. Mostly, they were external speech synthesizers like in the case of Lectel: lemonde.fr/archives/article/19… or the Valentine text-to-speech card for the Apple II: blog.atalan.fr/valentine-carte… The history of the Eurobraille company, the makers of the popular Esys, Esytime and B.Note Braille displays, starts also with a speech synthesizer for the Minitel terminals. eurobraille.fr/notre-histoire/ As I found out, however, most of France's blind community at that time did not have access to this kind of technology and Minitel only became accessible on a global scale in the 90's when regular PC's did but then it was almost the time of the Internet so it never gained the same momentum as it did with the society at large. Pity as this could have been an opportunity to push the inclusion of blind and partially sighted people to whole new levels. Always design with accessibility from the start! #Accessibility #Blind #AdventCalendar #France #Internet #Minitel #Videotex #RetroTech
DMOZ was the internet directory from 1998. People use it to find websites before Google Search era and contribute website's URLs to it before Wikipedia era. It was discontinued and succeeded by Curlie in 2017.
