no but linux containers aren't secure. yeah, they're administrative boundaries. a sandbox would be nice, but this isn't Sun. we have fallen from grace. tape the box closed with AppArmor if you need to and flip the exact 11 switches that apply for your impending scenario. i'm sure nobody will steal your data.

my workflow for posting images is awful XD
The plan is coming together. I am making friends and I'm doing the LA gay shit. I'm going outside, I'm getting laid. I'm like a real person. I have an old friend back in my life even.
at some point i will unfuck my mkfiles so i don't have to do a full rebuild to properly regerate the indexes
this is a test
my whole life, i've been leaving things behind. venturing far away from everything that i know. these days, i'm trying to find connections that i can still rekindle, mend, and remember. this is much much harder than what i was used to

i'm over here thinking about how to get free internet to millions of people and keeping the system requirements as low as possible.
but everyone is talking about making a computer using scraps that can barely render a few lines of ACII and maybe some non-latin characters as images.
imo the only useful application would be so that I never have to get a new computer again unless mine breaks. i like being able to talk to people from around the world, so its going to have to include internet and video (y'all saw the impact tiktok had on the gaza situation, can't deny that video is important)

some day, you'll be able to download nix-on-android from f-droid and nix run git+https://git.cyb.red/pkgs/free-internet.flake and join the no se vende mesh collective.. something like that
i'm excited about how the new system is coming together. i've chosen bento as the system admin runtime. the centralized model simplifies some things and encourages people to setup their own (if small) binary caches. the whole thing is federated in the end and i think we can find some ways to make an HA bento. co-ordinator nodes i think are important for making a stable network. a spare laptop can easily buffer some power, run a secondary radio, and have an ethernet hookup. even a phone can make a nice one.
tried out a demo vm setup of nixos, but i really want to level up my server game and provision the whole thing using terranix.
NDN is looking pretty neat https://docs.named-data.net/NLSR/current/INSTALL.html https://github.com/named-data/ndn-svs#installation

re: reticulum i might just make my own internet replacement protocol if i keep finding out that the extant ones have yellow snake flag people attached to them
honestly kinda hype about this one https://reticulum.network/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#sideband I think some concepts from named-data networking (andana and statevector sync in particular) and secure scuttlebutt (plumbtree) could help make it more robust, but I like the overall direction and architecture a lot. the multi-hop transmission design in particular 💋
biiiiig oof when it comes to compiling big things on my laptop. i'm gonna have to get a binary cache up and running pretty soon
i have successfully put a docker container inside of a nixos container, a turturken so to speak. next up, we get arion-compose working in there and then see about mem_limit and cpus!
I'm bringing back the tilde system again pretty soon, I just have to do one more full rebuild of the service infra to make sure its reproducible and we'll be back in biz
i have a cryptographically verified and deterministic operating system with reproducible builds, but the sound still doesn't work right.
i decided that the only good browser is mullvad-browser, though tor-browser is a close second.
i have finished porting my laptop config to nixos in record time. i did the entire rebuild in one day, only a handful of hours total. love it.

i want to use something similar to ssb producer tokens as the basis for novo atlantis trade protocols. interfacing with scarcity currencies has been a headache, but i think something like taller that does delegated settlement can link coop credits to another currency for foreign trade could work. devil is in the details.

i think AP is doomed by its complexity. i want things like the fedi to exist, but they have to be a fuck lot more simpler if there's ever going to be a big big pile of indie server options that can easily be mutated to suit every group individually. shit like twtxt and gemini gives me hope because they are small enough to fuck with in very small bursts and still get somewhere.

yo if a DAO can facilitate post-scarcity in a tangible way i'd be hella impressed. otherwise a DAO is just reformed capitalism again and my people still don't get to sit at that table. "you gotta spend money to make money" fuck dog i'm broke i'd spend it were i able.
where's the DAO that puts money in my pocket? i rack up debt daily taking care of my shit. i bet you think insurance can cover my needs! sure i got treated (by racking up thousands in fees). i wrote a paper about this in 2016. i imagined a world where my friends wouldn't bleed. like that even matters.. the world's a cruel joke. either you pay and you win or you're in debt till you croak. https://infinite.ai/

> Today’s cult of convenience fails to acknowledge that difficulty is a constitutive feature of human experience. Convenience is all destination and no journey. But climbing a mountain is different from taking the tram to the top, even if you end up at the same place. We are becoming people who care mainly or only about outcomes. We are at risk of making most of our life experiences a series of trolley rides. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/opinion/sunday/tyranny-convenience.html
