Totally agree with you on Eth. Not mentioning the security issues coming with its core concepts, like MEV.

Never had the chance to use BTC lightning (never found anybody accepting it). I assume it must have some disadvantages explaining the huge mempool / fees. What if your relay goes down, are your locked coins committed into the blockchain?

I use Signal, but I'm unable to force everybody to do the same.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?

Sounds to me that it would have been easier to create a web-based client for an existing messaging system with such features (like Briar).

It seems to me that there will be much less relays than there are AP nodes. Users won't publish/subscribe to hundred of relays (if they did, relays would not scale). Hence more bad content to less moderators, and poor moderation.

Adding client filters would just shift the censorship power to those maintaining them.

Try out those (at your own risk):

A bunch of eDonkey servers were seized in 2006. This was before the implementation of Kademlia in emule. It highlighted the vulnerable centralized part of the protocol and pushed people to alternatives. Also compared to bittorrent, the lack of moderation and low speed played a role.

IPFS has 2 and 3 (they almost f*ed-up 3 with CID v1 actually)

I wish they chose IPFS instead of Bittorrent v1.

Thank you for clearing my doubts off 👍

So that you can't sell later ?

I'm able to max out my 1gb/s card easily most of the time.

Russia's «defense» budget is estimated to be around 60% higher than France's, though France's GDP is around 70% higher than Russia's.

I'm pretty sure that France has the largest defense industry in Europe also.

It generated a suffix of two digits when I tried (you can set it explicitely but it is mandatory).

The Facebook mobile webapp works just fine nowadays. Pretty sure it's even possible to enable notifications in most web browsers. I still don't get why people are willfully installing apps instead of just pinning web browser bookmarks.

I'm struggling to get something done with this stack. This will certainly provide some inspiration, thanks!

I don't get it; if I pay my taxes in my country of residence, how is it illegal to work for a foreign entity ?

Why would I need a visa if I stay in my own country ?

Wao didn't know this one, impressive thx for sharing !
