@omar@mastodon.bsd.cafe mastodon is cool. TCP filtering is not cool. We need to circumvent TCP filtering so more people can achieve mastodon. It is global problem called internet fragmentation. Filtering evolves, and very soon I will be unable to reach outside of my zone, which happens to be RU, and no TCP based proxy will help because there will be no TCP. Your country may implement similar technique at some point in the future. So, before the link goes down, my last message would be: please, accept it as a challenge. I am not able to solve this alone. https://vmst.io/@nikhotmsk/116125295461052201 #freedom #censorship #meshtastic #freifunk #lora

This is a public service announcement from Norway, it is also a good comedy sketch on internet enshittification and right to repair. https://youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ #righttorepair #enshittification #norway #internet

I will probably be unable to post anything on Mastodon very soon. Reason: Russia uses internet filtering based on white lists, it is hard to circumvent and they are evolving. Googling "white lists in Russia" will get you an idea on how it works. Please, help. #censorship #freedom #network #freifunk #meshtastic #lora #diy

I modified the code of Maelstrom (1992) video game. I got a special variant of it so if the player picks up an ACME canister the effects are preserved across deaths. Call me a cheater if you wish.

This variant is more fun to play.

Jack Phillips was the senior wireless operator on the R.M.S. Titanic. He repaired the spark gap transmitter despite the Marconi company protocols. This allows the crew to send distress signals next night.

Marconi longterm polity requires complex on-ship equipment to be repaired at port by a technician. Jack Phillips was acting in defiance, thus saving lives.

There is a common misconception that critical equipment shall be repaired by manufacturer only. Actually, the world would be much better if there were repair manuals and parts for everything.

The most important site still works.

Mastodon Aliases and Migration 101.

The purpose of the move mechanism is to move followers (not posts) to the new Mastodon server.

You are locking up your old account and set a redirection to a new one.

It does not solve the concern of a Mastodon node go offline unexpectedly. Your old server must be online to confirm the move.

Also, move is irreversible. Think before pushing.

If your old node is announced to go offline permanently, its admin will probably advise you to migrate your followers.

I tell it is a move because old server will dispatch an ActivityPub 'move' method to other servers where your followers are.

@Herne@corteximplant.net thank you for your node.

I think skyjake - the author of lagrange gemini viewer - must add automatic page archiver to save the nodes that go offline.
