I'm surprised nobody has reported this yet; at least I wasn't able to find it. If you were wondering why some nostriches choose Firefox-based browsers—for instance because Firefox currently has stable proxy connection support compared to Chromium-based browsers.

Chromium

It's not that obvious it's broken. Most websites work fine because they don't create so many WS connections. It's also sad that none of the browsers currently support the UDP part of the Socks5 protocol. It should be useful for HTTP/3.

Don't overestimate proprietary Trusted Execution Environments. We might never know for sure whether they are another sophisticated NSA honeypots or not. Issues have already been found in them; Nvidia is not excluded. Not that I'm against these technologies, but I'd like to see more solutions based on something open and independently verifiable as well. If it's not something identical to hardware TEE solutions, then at least there's a not-yet-well-known Linux syscall `memfd_secret`, which is basically a way to allocate private RAM regions that are, to some degree, isolated even from the kernel (pages with these regions won't be swapped to disk, core dumps won't include this memory, etc.). It's a limited solution. It's not for GPUs. However, it's open and independent from any particular vendor. Originally it was designed for cryptography. Useful for NIP-46 signers and CPU-only ML models for example.

Hey #OpenClaw, #ZeptoClaw and other #moltbots, seriously, take a look. I wish there was something like

but also for training. And to be distributed and computed in an untrusted manner (nodes should reconfirm computations, similar to blockchain). And to be used as UPoW instead of stupid CAPTCHAs and usual PoWs. This could be a DDoS protection service for ordinary websites that trains models and makes you free from proprietary models.

Helium is the fastest ungoogled-chromium-based browser I've used so far, btw.

The centralized platforms are backwards in many ways. Stop advertising them. Switch to nostr. I'm not gonna run an English version of my YouTube channel since we've got

nostu.be

A modern Nostr video client

today. Fair and unintrusive: with a dislike counter and without unwanted ads. Thanks to @florian for building it! 💜 I hope it will also get p2p-media-loader integration (and it'll become a real scalable killer of PeerTube) and a link to the source code on some about page at some point (I was almost sure #nostube is proprietary until I came across your repo). It feels so nice to remove my data from centralized platforms. They definitely don't deserve our presence on their servers. So far I've wiped most of my data from TG, FB and VK. Removed my X account entirely. Removed links to these "social" networks from my website. And I keep wiping this stuff from other platforms. Just a few examples of what's wrong. My Russian-speaking YouTube channel was unreasonably warned for specifying a link to "nudity content" in the channel details. The "nudity content" appeared to be just a neutral VK page. YouTube promised to react to my appeal in 24 hours. These "24" hours still last, for years. Telegram? It silently removed my channel handle at some point and put it on sale because of not having enough activity. It's especially ironic because the account was also automatically flagged as a spammer a couple of times for no reason. Inactive spammer. Such a shame 🤦‍♂️ The centralized platforms are unsustainable. They are incompatible with the epoch we've recently entered. Be the first to migrate to #nostr and build the future. View quoted note →
