[18:18] Techrights-sec Like Uber, which is to knock the bottom out of th eelabor market and crush [18:18] Techrights-sec low end unions, it masquerades as something other than what it really is. [18:18] Techrights-sec Yes, it is very good that self-hosting is still permitted. However, self- [18:18] Techrights-sec signed certificates are on the way out unless things turn around. If they [18:18] Techrights-sec don't turn around and if they continue the current path then even self-hosting [18:18] Techrights-sec will be in danger. [18:19] psydroid2 it beats me why people should be glad that self-hosting is even permitted, as it should be the standard [18:19] psydroid2 is the government only there to protect the interests of companies? [18:19] schestowitz-TR I have just posted the second batch of Daily Links [18:19] schestowitz-TR a dozen links there are gemini [18:19] schestowitz-TR an all-time high [18:19] schestowitz-TR even if it means less expsoruree [18:19] schestowitz-TR priuncipl;es counta [18:19] schestowitz-TR and a "gemini-fiorst" policy would set a good example [18:19] schestowitz-TR that does not mean no http/s [18:19] schestowitz-TR but that means we are at pleast playing our part [18:20] Techrights-sec ack [18:25] Techrights-sec psydroid2: it /should/ be standard but like vouching for certificates yourself, it is [18:25] Techrights-sec increasingly looked at ascance by many interests. One set of interests still [18:25] Techrights-sec wants the WWW to be like what cable TV once was. [18:25] Techrights-sec However one reason out of several why self-hosting is not the standard is that [18:25] Techrights-sec there are so damn few people that know anything about how to use computers. [18:25] Techrights-sec And that number is decreasing every year as people retire and or die. Then [18:25] Techrights-sec there is the M$ influence on development which ends as every project becomes [18:25] Techrights-sec so hard to use and complicate beyond comprehension that it eventually implodes. [18:26] Techrights-sec Look at HTTP versions, especially HTTP/3 as proposed [18:26] Techrights-sec The only way out is to scrap it and go straight to HTTP4 with improvements [18:26] Techrights-sec based on HTTP1.1 [18:26] Techrights-sec Improvements not changes for changes sake or complications for job security [18:26] Techrights-sec sake. [18:46] psydroid2 we could use even lower-power hardware and adjusted software to be able to run servers off solar or battery power [18:47] psydroid2 I think that's more important than offering more and more performance ● Mar 16 [19:55] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@s6z2vtdssdmes.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Mar 16 [22:17] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:22] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@cvzavd64njpaw.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [22:36] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [22:38] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Mar 16 [23:25] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@joseon-rmogvn.g0d7.dtdf.mc4289.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [23:25] *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@hngiv8sdpiaf2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [23:26] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:28] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@6bqftbb7y26fc.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
