At least Alpine and Arch use the demo (testing) version. IIRC their initial announcement said that the distros can continue using the demo version and not the stable version unless they pay. And no distro can get the stable version even by paying because Brad knows that the distro would have to redistribute the sources as per GPLv2 and thus he will only make ridiculously high offers.

There is no distro or any other consumer product that does or ever will have the stable patches. Brad is a greedy asshole and all around a bad person.

Sounds a lot like Tahoe-LAFS[1].

Nitrokey is based on FST-01.

That name alone should tell you that they don't give a hoot about anything other than WWW and HTTP.

It's not just domain names. CA and IP have the same problem.

It's like everyone just forgot Freenet when IPFS came around. Compared to Freenet IPFS is very boring and uninnovative.

Then why are they marketing it?

What a horrible choice for a name. Canonical has had Mir for a while now. Choosing an unique name isn't that hard. Not everything needs to be 3 letters.

https://launchpad.net/mir

This had me confused for a while:

> Introducing MIR (rust-lang.org)

Is this targeted at web developers or something?

> I've been here since the beginning and I think comments have gotten more hostile since then.

I've been reading HN since around 2010 and to me it seems that there is now less hostility about technical topics but more hostility against anyone who isn't 100% politically correct. I also think that the quality of comments has decreased dramatically since.

> No one outside of HN that I interact with discusses HN, and if there's ever discussion of this stereotype here, I've missed it.

Many IRC communities I'm part of know HN and sometimes discuss it and the stereotype in those seems to be that HN users are overly sensitive, hypocritical, greedy and toxic. Many of them are also former HN users who now hate the site.

And if these limitations (frequencies, output power) for radio technology were lifted do you think we would have something that has the benefit of both worlds?

What would be the negative effects, if there are even any?

How exactly did they come to the conclusion that it is 4500 years old?

> if websites wouldn't display ads and other website owners wouldn't buy ads, how would end-users find out about products, content, apps, etc?

Word of mouth?

> Wouldn't that take us to a "medieval age" of browsing the internet?

I would love this.

> Why do you block ads?

I don't.

> Please don't include answers like "saving bandwidth" or "keeping my ram unused", i'm looking for ^real^ reasons for which ads are bothering.

The main reason many people block ads is because it's hip to do so.

I wrote some of my thoughts regarding advertising on my website: https://GNU.moe/thoughts/ads.html

Some people want to talk to interact with <10 year olds. This does interest us as well.

But HN is one of the worst moderated places on the net.

Hmm. I could have sworn there has been some way to make the quotes more distinguishable but maybe I was wrong...

Hacker news post limits for shadowbanned people really suck as well. Especially when the ban was for no good reason. Even worse is that HN only has perma bans. Oh wel...

It's kind of ironical that they are quoting Snowden and their own site blocks Tor.

E: didn't HN used to have markdown quoting?

>> some rw, some ro > Seems lacking in tmux at the moment, but possible to implement on its own, without reinventing everything else.

I wonder if this coul be done by having two users and only allowing read access to the tmux socket for the second one...
