The content you’ve linked really does a good job at showing how completely decentralized P2P social media is a terrible, terrible idea.

Ah yes I forgot that’s how things work- if anyone writes a report on something trivial, all non-trivial issues cease to be.

Really we should be thanking journalists, we wouldn’t have world peace if they didn’t write articles like this.

Well the main argument of the article is that they physically fall apart quickly, and are difficult (or impossible without fabrication skills) to repair

It’s completely asinine to make some observation of our material conditions and declare that we’re “hard wired” to act a certain way

Not everyone, not if you have an eye for identifying discount grocery stores with clearly grey market goods!

if you read the mailing list, you know there’s a lot of reasons. Linus hates out of tree and closed modules for quite a number of reasons- but in this specific context it seems the most relevant.

Nope- that generally only applies if you’re a celebrity; or if otherwise your job is your image.

The cops will lose this.

That’s exactly why they want you to do it with them though- so they can make you do it too their standards.

You’re practically not supposed to to build external modules. It’s supported to only the most minimal degree- Linus, and the Linux project, WANT you to build things in.

And as everyone else has told you, this is so that support for hardware is in Linux and in distros BEFORE users have to taint their kernels and create crazy bugs kernel devs have to deal with.

You can, and should, build things in public.

EDIT: I just don’t trust promises for things to be open source. Notch said Minecraft would be open source, and look where that went. A promise let’s you skip out on releasing the code if it turns out to be a convenient or profitable options.

> System call filtering isn't a sandbox. It provides a clearly defined mechanism for minimizing the exposed kernel surface. It is meant to be a tool for sandbox developers to use. Beyond that, policy for logical behavior and information flow should be managed with a combination of other system hardening techniques and, potentially, an LSM of your choosing

They aren’t (and do not) require any privleged system calls, whatsoever.

If you can actually exploit a system call, neither a MAC based approach or a pledge will help.
