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!

Okay, this comes from someone who used to have crappy #SatelliteInternet where I used to live. It never ceases to amaze me how fast my #Internet is now. A #Windows reinstall that took days before now takes hours on good #FiberOptic Internet. I'm still in the country, but this area happens to have great connectivity. #RuralInternet #TechTalk #InternetSpeed #tech #technology


This morning, I took my wife to the hospital for routine blood tests that had been scheduled for some time. Everything was going smoothly: check-in, number, waiting room. Suddenly, everything came to a halt and shut down. I was connected to the hospital’s public Wi-Fi and noticed that my connection also went down.

Having managed a couple of similar facilities, I immediately understood what had happened. I saw the staff panicking and calling the technicians, but they quickly reorganized within 10 minutes. They managed to process everyone who already had a number and then proceeded with the others in the order of their arrival. Despite the ten-minute delay (even though people started complaining right away), they were extremely efficient.

I later confirmed that the entire booking, check-in, and queue system is “in the cloud.” The hospital experienced a connectivity interruption, and all related services stopped. The staff no longer had access to anything, so a technician sent the lists to a manager via another channel, and everything resumed manually.

For years, I’ve insisted that certain things MUST be local. The healthcare facilities I manage have all the necessary systems for the operation of the facility internally, including patient records. External services like websites, emails, etc., are secondary.

Everything essential must always be accessible locally and, in special cases, it should be possible to physically access the servers and connect directly to them, bypassing any network/switch failures.

There has been only one interruption in the past, due to human error. Today, we have redundant servers (not HA on virtualizers, but two machines running the same software with replicated databases - on separate power lines) so such an issue shouldn’t happen anymore.

Not everything can be anticipated, but history is a great teacher. The Internet connection will eventually be interrupted :-)

When it comes to the health and survival of people, there are no compromises.

So, does anyone celebrate World Blog Day? Not seeing a ton of information about it online, other than that it started in 2005 and the date was chosen because 31/08 spells "blog" (3108).

So OpenAI can use everything ever posted on the internet to train their AI, but Internet Archive can't scan and upload books for people to borrow?? Got it. 🙄

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).

a@a.com is redundant but Shift + F10 OOBE/BYPASSNRO comes to the rescue.


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.

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.

Страниц в папках всего: 2223 или 11.5Gb

1) Видео о содержимом 13Mb можно по этой ссылке:
mega.nz/file/cLMUHSAT#PHjc7WfT…

2) Скачать архивом .7z - 3.3Gb (сжат):

4) Копия архива .7z - 3.3Gb:

5) Ссылка на репозиторий, если кому-то удобней скачивать так:

О содержимом.

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.

Hey #Fediverse! @Seirdy has a 'forever' article: A look at search engines with their own indexes

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.)

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."

The commons we've enclosed

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.

Unix is user-friendly — it's just choosy about who its friends are.

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.

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!

Did you know that DMOZ.org is now Curlie.org?

curlie.org/en

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.

Boost is very appreciated.
