Unless someone finds a way to advertise nodes that doesn’t depend on the entry point then yes. Consider this example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1b2460bd5824170ab85757e35f81197199cce9d6/src/chainparams.cpp#L112 if someone takes down those domains it is game over for a new node until someone updates the code.

I get your point, those systems make it harder to take down things permanently but they aren’t as resilient and perfect as people paint them to be - an it has nothing to do with being pedantic, it is just the reality of things.

My point was: if you still need some central point of contact what’s the point in decentralized, you can still get fucked.

For instance the DHT systems you talk about, they’re good but still require some centralized points. In a bittorrent network with DHT a new client cannot join without either a tracker or the knowledge of at least one member of the network to exchange peers with. Bitcoin still has some hardcoded DNS seeds in the core client… etc.

bittorrent decentralization

True bittorrent decentralization never happened.

There’s no real / true decentralization. You’re always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there’s also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you’ve to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.

Apple should be fined to the ground for this bullshit.

Incus OS

That will be the end of Proxmox. And I really hope it happens fast.

I know, but I can’t enable backports. Same goes for the risks with using the Zabbly and their dependencies.

Lenovo brand new is bad, refurbished, well, you just want to have a bad time. This only applies to the new Chinese owned Lenovo, the IBM ones are fine in all possible states.

Trust me, at that point there won’t be any explaining possible :D

We’ve been burned by a lot of distros in the past and right now it all boils down to using Debian and RHEL, everything else mostly failed at some point or will not uphold the stability guarantees. Even containers with Alpine fucked us over once with the musl DNS issues and a few other missing parts…

Yeah, I did that in a system as well and seems to work, for for the others I’ll have to wait for the final release, too critical. I’m one of those guys who runs a lot of Debian because the risks of a distro like Ubuntu Server are way over what I can be exposed to.

Actually I’m waiting on Debian 13 to get Incus 6.0 LTS! Current machines with LXD 5.0 are starting to annoy me.

Jesus, people analyzing Debian releases like if it was the stock market 😂

Apple carefully made it in a way that complies with the law but doesn’t really change anything. And imposed small charges and requirements here and there com make it totally impractical.

You don’t understand, because side loading in iOS doesn’t not work like it does in Android - not even close. Side loading in iOS is full of restrictions, apps that only work for 3 days and require reinstall etc. And it all still requires binaries to be signed with a valid certificate approved by Apple.

Yeah, this is unfortunate.

a system with the ability to run ANY generic non-signed binary if the users chooses to do so

I guess you didn’t read this part.

allow installing of other app stores

Because this is all good, but it is way more simple for Apple to allow us to run unsigned code than to come up with all the infrastructure so you can sign your apps without 3rd parties.

Side loading is a pile of shit designed to make it appear that you’re freedom and you aren’t locked into the store when in fact, you are. They still charge bullshit charges, force app notarization etc.

Apple should be forced by someone to turn iOS into what macOS currently is, that is, a system with the ability to run ANY generic non-signed binary if the users chooses to do so. They can burry it under the settings, force people to accept a bunch of warnings but we should be able to run unsigned code.

The current state of things is bullshit, Apple is very good at sandboxing, they can keep the system signed, secure and intact while allowing unsigned code to run.

I wouldn’t. Those kinds of maps are very powerful, they provide accurate and constantly updated information from millions of users.
