If the FSFE were to use gnu taller, the taler bank would’ve probably requested the same information through some other nonstandard channel sooner or later. The traditional electronic money has become like show breed dogs. They are no good without the papers. Especially in europe.

We need to eliminate the banks and the payment gateways from the paymemt process.

I know nothing about the game, but came here to see who’s offended by it, and by how much. Was not disapointed.

The idea of a national ID would never pass in the US. Both parties are against it for various reasons.

So… nobody changes the default settings, therefore everyone should change the default settings… to the wrong option?

edit: Why is it that homo sapiens is always willing to go an extra mile just to hurt itself?

Why are they always coming up with some kind of bullshit excuse? :D

A bit of unrequested advice… Help expand, or start a mesh network in your area. The SX1260 lora chips are a modern miracle. Plus, It’s basically hiking and socializing activity masked as a tech hobby. There’s also a chance of learning a little bit of physics, or community organizing as a bonus.

With the new people you meet, there’s also a chance of finding a new hobby. I’ve met an unexpected number of paraglidists through my various tech interests. People from all kinds of backgrounds are really into flying. Who knew?

On the other hand, it’s one of the least intrusive proposals I’ve heard in this round of debate. The parent flags the account as a child, the browser sends one (or more, in this case) extra bit indicating if it should receive the adult content (whatever it might be) or not.

No ID verification, no face scanning, no credit card checks, no companies building profiles of everybody on earth and sharing them with shady institutions. Plus, it pushes the responsibility back to the parents, who (hopefully) know the child the best, and can adjust the restrictions either way if needed.

Now I can finally accept that the age verification issue is merely “controversial”, instead of absolutely evil global conspiracy.

Is this related to Glance in any way?

U.S. user data stored on Amazon Web Services servers.

What data?

Why does a rail company even need a customer database?

It’s hard to hear what they are trying to say over all the gun fire noise.

We still don’t know his true clients (people he worked for). These guys were just his marks.

We had a similar guy where I come from. He was actively seeking connections with politicians and businessmen, acting as their friend, while recording every online and offline conversation to be used for extortion in the future.

He, and the prostitute he was hiring to do his bidding, made the mistake of getting directly involved in the murder of a journalist, so she ended up in prison for 25 years, and I haven’t heard anything about him ever since.

Correction: The guy also ended up in prison after all.

So it’s not just me. The peering between europe and asia IS crap!

I’ve been to thailand in november and the connections to europe were hit or miss the whole time. The latency was poor and the reliability varied day by day.

The only thing that made any difference was switching providers on the EU side. It seems that some ISPs have better peering than others.

Also lowering the MTU for the vpn tunnel seemd to help a lot, but that might’ve been a placebo.

the rest only accessible through login and verification

Yes. If you can’t fight the death of the www, embrace it! Help making it happen!

speed will increase as development continues

LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.

There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.

For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

Yes. They should use a generic word that’s already used by 15 other projects… that’s how everyone does SEO these days. :P

Only half joking, though. It’s such a rare and refreshing experience to enter a name of a thing into a search engine and get the relevant results.

It should be available. Right click / Translate selection.

Isn’t this whole project just a showcase for their unique backend? They must be really insecure about it to ban any competition in the license.

Never give up!
