Setup a gateway to do this or host your own GitLab. GitHub Pages uses a shared IP. Blocking based on IP would require them to rework their infrastructure.

Note that IPFS has had a browser extension for quite some time for IPFS support. This inclusion is mostly akin to bundling a browser extension. While it is great to see it included…

Based on the centralization of hosting and cloud services, it is about time that we re-evaluate ISPs and cloud providers.

If government uses this as another 911 to push another Patriot Act, then we should suspect our government was not only aware of what was happening but they also participated in it.…

Twitter and Facebook never claimed to be the anti-censorship platforms. If you want anti-censorship then you look for platforms designed for this, not hope that the government stri…

Again, I applaud them for their efforts. I think it is cool. However, it would also be cool to have a standalone crossword app that uses an ncurses-type of library to play crosswor…

Leaking almost anything to anyone provides enough information to trace you back as a potential source of the leak, thus compromising your identity. A Zoom meeting is no exception. …

Emacs is meant to really be a text-editor. I'm all for utilizing Emacs and Vim to do unique things, like ledgers and time tracking, since those are essentially markup formats for t…

> Do you notice how that starts me, as someone who is firmly anti-censorship, off on the defensive as you seem to view me as an insincere or stupid bad guy? Please note that I said…

I get that this is cool and all, but why Emacs? Why not just use a text-based library and have it as a standalone app?

I for one have been a huge fan of platforms like Kubernetes, because at least they abstract the cloud away from specific providers to some degree. Had they additionally used IPFS f…

There is a C++ implementation that is pretty nice: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd

I'm not being silenced. I can setup a website easily or my own Mastodon, or whatever else. If I really wanted to make it more censorship-resistant I'd use IPFS and a decentralized …

r/conservative r/conspiracy r/donaldtrump all come to mind as communities that (up until one was recently banned) complained about censorship while constantly banning users for pro…

Does that mean if I call my boss names and he fires me, he is censoring my free speech? Now apply that to Facebook. Facebook isn't censoring free speech and the definition of free …

I'd be much more worried about governments telling me what I can/can't say, rather than private companies not letting me use their platforms to say it.

Well many of them will hopefully have family that is able to take the role, but sometimes the consequences of a failed insurrection aren't well thought out.

If you're not signed up as a foster/adoptive parent, now is a good time if you want to have an impact. There are going to be a lot of kids flooding into the system from families th…

Strength through adversity? Maybe this will be the fire needed to improve decentralization and alternative currencies that are more censorship resistant?

That is precisely what IPFS and ETH domains are for: https://docs.ipfs.io/how-to/websites-on-ipfs/link-a-domain/#... I don't want this to sound wrong, but I perceive most of the pe…

Partially, regulation is one thing but being able to kick someone out of your establishment is also part of the law that has been upheld by the Supreme Court and in the constitutio…

They already can. No one is forcing you to use Twitter. There are plenty of other platforms, or you can even... wait for it, this is such a radical idea... host your own website.

No, to let them spy on America. There are several instances of Trump going against his intelligence community, specifically in regards to Russia, to weaken America's cyber-defense.…

The best thing we can do is not let history forget what happened today, and what will happen with we let someone like Donald Trump have free reign over the political institutions w…
