@jgoerzen@floss.social i love those features, but i don't like the idea of starting SSH sessions with kermit as a wrapper systematically, and then i bet that when i'll need it i won't have a kermit wrapped SSH, how do you deal with that?

@franklinlopez there's some filaments that are made from recycled plastic, printers made of parts made by printers, there's some loopy stuff going on there, but fundamentally, well... it's plastic.

the canadian government foolishly turned off an essential weather radio service that is useful in remote areas or emergency situations, vote to bring it back https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7290

@ybon @postmarketOS that looks amazing. i think if i could get a brick dumbphone like those nokia to run just signal and SMS, i would ditch any modern phone this instant (organic maps would be a nice bonus)

RE: @alissaazar@kolektiva.social
you remember when they made #antifa illegal and you thought "well, surely that's just on paper and no one will go to jail for being #antifa"? well we just passed this point now #wtf

@axolotl@kolektiva.social if you are looking for a website, go on http://web.archive.org AKA the "wayback machine", which is a subset of the internet archive specifically made for browsing website archives, not archive.org, which has much more material

@axolotl@kolektiva.social so if you don't want to touch substack but read this, check out the wayback machine *now* and let me know what's missing, maybe?

@axolotl@kolektiva.social that said, to answer your question more directly: hard to tell. right now, the bot has found 20k links and crawled 5k, but as it crawls links, it finds more, so that is far from 25% done... we are careful about crawling substack because they have rate limiting, so this is a slow process. i'd say "dozens of hours" or "days". once the site is crawled, it also takes some amount of time to trickle back into the internet archive and, from there, the wayback machine

@axolotl@kolektiva.social well the site is already at least *partly* crawled by the internet archive, see https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://anarchosolarpunk.substack.com/ in fact, it looks like it already has decent coverage; my archive bot run is merely a safety measure to make sure we have *exhaustive* coverage

@franklinlopez@kolektiva.social @hydroponictrash@kolektiva.social re archival, i just scheduled a crawl of the site with archivebot, so we should have a good copy at the internet archive shortly

@corbet@social.kernel.org i just had another thought on this: i think search engines are dead. they were dying even before AI slop started hitting harder, SEO is a class attack against the founding principles of Page Rank that made search so good back then. instead, perhaps what we need to build is an open, "allow-list", topic-specific search engine, one that would index all sites (like LWN, Wikipedia, and so on) *and what they link to*... perhaps we could find good contents there!

@corbet i'll be giving a workshop on "digital sovereignty, federation and mesh networks" and i realized that one of the alternatives to "google" i need to suggest is not only, say, Kagi or Qwant, but mostly Wikipedia and "your public library", because about a large majority of what people search for can be answered by studying there... it's more work than asking a LLM or SEO crap, but it's more reliable, makes you smarter, and it will be more likely to survive peak oil and the AI bubble crash

@corbet that's going to sound quaint, but the answer, in my mind, is still this old internet we're on right now... #mastodon and the #federation is not exactly "old" but it certainly matches the old school usenet/email models of old, warts and all, but it feels mostly insulated from this madness... search engines are dying because of AI, but we still have, thanks to you, trusted sources of news, and those will stay places we can rely on, not by stumbling on them randomly, but by directly seeking content there, because we know it's there.

@franklinlopez@kolektiva.social finally, worse is better: e.g. reticulum is superior in cryptograhic design, scalability, and so on, but meshtastic has the critical mass right now, so i'm playing with that. don't let the best theory get in the way of getting stuff done

@franklinlopez@kolektiva.social all good. one thing i would add to that list is that the time to start experimenting with that stuff is right now, not when the shit hits the fan. i know that sounds like #prepper stuff, but it is what it is.

@franklinlopez@kolektiva.social i'll answer the same thing i answer every time this is asked, decade after decade, and it's amateur radio. sure, 10 years ago, it was wifi mesh (someone mentioned reseaulibre.ca here in the thread, that's still hosted in my basement), and now it's meshtastic, but none of those have the resilience and scope of ham radio. just do it, get your license already. i have books and knowledge.
