<p>Here is another, not so new, idea:<p>Username is your public key, password is your private key. So we get end to end encryption and account ownership out of the box. Something similar to how .onion addresses work.
Needing easy to remember addresses? Build aliases on top of that. Needing server-side automation? Handle trusted server your private key.<p>Also, almost everyone carry a 24/7 powered and Internet connected device in their pockets. The Internet - network that allows globally sending any data between devices. Maybe with full redesign third-party email servers should be made optional.<p>I believe we should focus less on how to redesign whole service and build more universal layers instead.
First, vsending any data to any machine. Second, optionally remotely accessing our data. Third, mail-like format of data.</p>

Also it is a factor we cannot change, so if someone obtain a video of our face like that or success in making a working fake, we cannot change our look like we can with a password.</p>

<p>Uruky allows JSON formatted output and basically started to use them as API for my private SearXNG instance. Basically using them as paid search API that is much more reliable than scraping DuckDuckGO and Brave, with the benefit of blocking common AI slop sites and manual ranking of domains. Having EUSP first and Mojeek second somehow gives very satisfying results, both small nearby European businesses and big sites are searched up well, even without depending on American index.</p>

<p>Almost all LLM do traditional web search in the background anyway. So if you want data straight from the source without probabilistic text generation, it will be faster to do the search yourself. Like if I want to know the country of origin of a company, would type its name and go to Wikipedia. While LLM would usually search literally "What is the country of origin of ..."? and then visit LLM generated sites that SEO optimized the query on which a fraction of text is going to be relevant after which the information is very low quality.</p>

<p>As some not deep into networking, just home(lab) stuff, learning OpenWRT took some time. But now cannot think of buying a router not for OpenWRT, once I learn what is possible I want to use it.<p>Fot example from my ISP I can have two options for PPPoE connection, first is legacy IPv4 only but lacks IPv6, second is IPv4 but behind CGNAT and with modern IPv6.
With OpenWRT, I am able to make two PPPoE connection over the same wire and have the best of both worlds.</p>

<p>Does "open source" even mean something anymore, or should we give up and just accept it as common catch-all phrase for everything that suck less, without one definition?<p>Open source AI without a source. Open source software, oh but only up to 4000 users after two years of release for people on south hemisphere. Now open source hardware but your copies of design are for noncommercial use, only our copies are not restriced.</p>

<p>As much as this is nice protect, and physical one so different things any, still you cannot give/sell some software/design/media and restrict who, where and how someone can use it (noncommercial, not in this country, not at that phase of moon) while calling it open source, public domain, or similar.<p>As long as softwsre isn't going to be proprietary, it is a good idea just shouldn't misguide about being open source.</p>

<p>>  I'm not a CAD user, and I don't want to install one just to draw five lines and a circle.<p>I have installed LibreCAD years ago and used it 3 or 4 times to add measurements on a downloaded drawing. Installed it with just "pacman -S librecad" and enter. Takes just ~82.7 MB on the disk. No account, no background service, completely gratis. Never asked me for an update, because it is always updated with the rest of the system. For all the years it sits there, waiting for a moment to be needed.<p>While I do get the appeal of the ability to squeeze desktop program into a browser, especially when using someone else's computer, so thank you for the project, while I do not understand the level of push away desktop programs get sometimes.</p>

<p>Internet needs an open, integrated and universal payment layer. But first the payments should be done well (look at: Taler project), then integrations should be build, not the other way around.<p>I know many people here would be against anything related to payment on the Internet, but I do believe the ability to have a button like "One click here to anonymously with no account pay 0.02€ and download the media" could be a net positive for Internet freedom.</p>
