> There is a pressing need to hold Israel accountable, not only for its longstanding violations of international law, but specifically for its longstanding refusal to abide by its Charter obligations. In the face of this recalcitrance, the UN must move towards expelling Israel from the organization, not only because the UN exists to uphold international law, but also to maintain the UN’s integrity as an organization. The persistent, open violations by Israel of binding UNSC resolutions cannot go unpunished. The current situation, where Israel openly accuses the UN of bias, refuses to cooperate with the organization on multitude levels, defies binding orders of the ICJ, physically attacks UN premises and staff, and even moves towards designating a UN agency as a terrorist organization, is a clear threat to the authority of the UN – an issue which the UNSC raised explicitly in the case of South Africa. To allow the situation to continue would show that international legal norms, and rules of the UN binding member states, are applied on the basis of double standards: specifically, that states allied to powerful Western countries are afforded impunity. https://opiniojuris.org/2024/10/09/israel-must-be-expelled-from-the-united-nations/

@2024-10-09T08:11:00Z It an easy way of twt-adressing by using the timestamp instead of a nick, which is arbitrary anyhow. Just my suggestion for a new reply-model ;)

Yes, URL can be considered ugly, but they work and are understandable by both humans and machines. And its trivial for any client to hide the URLs used as reference in replies/treading.
Webfinger can be an add-on to help lookup people, and it can be made independent of the nick by just serving the same json regardless of the nick as people do with static sites and a as I implemented it on darch.dk (wf endpoint). Try RANDOMSTRING@darch.dk on http://darch.dk/wf-lookup.php (wf lookup) or RANDOMSTRING@garrido.io on https://webfinger.net

@lyse will do my best! 😅 Milton has sustained winds of 270 kph now, but it is still at sea. Once it touches ground it is bound to lose strength.
@movq yes, there is no evacuation going on where we live—Central-East Florida. It will be category 1-2 here. Non-flooding area.
Good luck and all the best wishes, @bender. Please don't die!

Honestly... not much. Have abandon two projects (both private) on Golang and one related to cryptography. My mostly languages are Python and Javascript (also can PHP). After writing code on Go i spend same time on fixing dumb errors
similar to data packets in NDN, each message has multiple names. a true name, which is an encoded cryptographic hash of the file itself. we call this kind of information self-certifying. given a true name, you can find a file and verify its integrity. additionally, agents can associate a self-certifying name with a pet name or subjective label of their choosing and share it with their friends/peers. zoko's triangle can suck it. gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/wiki/cryptogen--specification/
once the minibase work is done and i have my testnet up, i can start to consider the question of brokerless pub/sub. i found state vector sync pub sub in the name-data research and i wonder what a toy version of that would look like. i started work on a demo of gemini pub/sub as a soft fork of molly-brown we we'll see where that takes me!

@xuu I guess the way SimpleX does its routing is quote clever and ingineious really. -- However we never designed Salty.im that way. That wasn't an attack vector we were really concerned with right? I've been using SimpleX with you for the last day or so now and reading up on it, and whilst there are some overlapping and similar ideas I feel that SimpleX has slightly different design goals right?
I mean Salty.im is more designed to be self-hosted, with good crypto but we never tried to set out to build a complex multi-broker, relay network-type protocol right? Do we need to? Probably not I _think_. Hmmm 🧐

@doesnm I mean generally speaking you would cache things for a period of time right? There are other things you could do as well to build a better more resilient system. These are good conversations to have, however we, and by we I mean mostly @xuu and I really, haven't had a lot of time to spend/invest in Salty.im of late 😭
@doesnm Are you interested in helping continue it's development with us? Do you have any experience with cryptography and/or programming language like Go?

So... Yes all this is sorta/kinda true, remember I used to work there once (_great place to work, awful company_). It isn't by design or on-purpose I don't think, at least not from the perspective I had back then.
What really needs to happen here in general, and I've said it before; is this:
> Profiting off of user-generated data and metadata should be made illegal.
Social Media (systems) don't need to be regulated beyond not allowing minors to access social media. But if you enact the changes to laws (_see above_) such that profiting off of userdata is made illegal, then you minors can be potentially "safe" from predators. Let's be honest, predators are the "big tech" companies that make this shit™ highly addictive to the point where it "rots your brain".

@prologic currently? it wouldnt :D.
we would need to come up with a way of registering with multiple brokers that can i guess forward to a reader broker. something that will retry if needed. need to read into how simplex handles multi brokers

minibase has a network security architecture with a number of overlapping layers of protection. first, routers and discovery endpoints either require a password or an authorized public key to accept traffic. this setup restricts who can reach the endpoints to an extent, but peering with enough third parties with less restrictive policies will practically allow global routing. since this is a possible policy choice, minibase also requires internal traffic to be authenticated. overlay traffic is automatically encrypted by yggdrasil, but applications should still treat the traffic like its clearnet and use tls. currently i'm requiring a dns acme challenge to generate wildcard certs, but eventually it might make sense to scope the certificates to the specific service its associated with. we don't have much config generation in the nix modules yet, but something like this should be possible eventually. i'm working on configurations for ory oathkeeper, hydra, and kratos to provide a federated auth framework that your network services and minibase configs can integrate with.
@bender Cool ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏 I agree, on the surface this looks bad for privacy and community well being.
