  • I’m not doubting the complexity. I’m doubting capitalisms ability to properly fund and plan the necessary redundancy of critical infra.

    The problem you describe is not the same as mine. That’s an IT/DevOps problem I am extremely familiar with, and planning for spikes in usage is much simpler than battery backup and independent power. Internet services can scale extremely well these days. That’s a solved problem.

    The point is that critical infra should be architected to handle this type of scenario.









  • I donate to the internet archive every year, but they need to decentralize their data into a distributed p2p protocol fucking ASAP.

    Trying to fight fascism in oligarch-owned courts is a losing battle. All it takes is one corrupt judge and we lose the library of Alexandria. Centralizing an “internet archive” in any jurisdiction was always a mistake. I don’t want to fund court battles. I want to donate hard drives, CPU’s, and bandwidth for the rest of my life.

    The longer they do not do this, the less value I see in my donations, and the more I feel they are not proper custodians of the data they hold. It feels like they aren’t taking the risks, or their value, seriously.




  • I’m well aware actual leftists oppose Israel; I’m one of them. My point is that the corporate media and Israel invoke “the radical left” boogeyman on anyone who opposes them, even against neolibs and conservatives that oppose them.

    Seventeen members of the group, from France’s Ecologist and Communist parties, said they had been victims of “collective punishment” by Israel and called on Macron to intervene.

    So who were the other ten? The fact they are omitted indicates they are likely more “moderate” than the 17 mentioned, and their inclusion would’ve only served to legitimise the actions of the other 17 (can’t have that).
