I think it's always better to have the mirror be located in a separate datacenter and then connect both via a SDN.

The subsidies are irrelevant, US college degrees can indeed cost around 50k, if European universities have the same cost (despite having lower GDP PPP per capita) that's a even larger problem, except the taxpayer is in trouble.

Also for entering it. We really need more neutral technologies.

China has a fucked up time variance, not so much India.

Add 9.9.9.9, and the other IP. Besides 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1. Also the IPv6 equivalents. There's almost an infinite number of DNS servers.

Saying the web started at CERN is about as much intelligent as saying the internet was originally a US military communications network.

Freedom of association is dead.

Oddly accurate.

Allows owners to make back some of the money spent on the hardware via mining, a la NiceHash and friends.

I can't recall of a single war in this century that wasn't mostly murdering defenseless people.

You are confusing anonymous and pseudonymous. Tor for example can afford you request-level anonymity.

>They might not be bearing arms, but they are contributing to the russian economy.

I didn't realize we were in a total war. What's next? Drone strikes so the "economy" shrinks?

You're mistaken if you think they are pro-free speech.

Please donate a few bucks to CAGE or something to address Guantanamo Bay too, I know you can.

Who's "we"? The Internet was supposed to be decentralized from the start, to prevent actions like this.

People don't need "trust", they need alternatives. SWIFT is currently in a monopolistic situation right now. Any abuse of that position will lead to eroding trust.

Russian Federation I guess will guarantee the security of Donetsk and Luhansk and liberate further Russian-speaking areas.

Yeah imperialism sure sounds like weaponizing international systems nominally neutral.

CIPS & SPFS.

TBH, anything that stops the blatant abuse of international systems for political goals by the hegemony looks good for me.

Why would China shut off Russia when it also faces the same adversaries from across the ocean? This is their moment prove CIPS.

The time for the US to stop acting as the world police has gone, why does the US need to intervene in a former buffer state ~10000 km away? NATO will presumably step in when the threat comes close enough.

>Crimea all over again

This is not really Crimea, it's just Kosovo but this time someone else is acting as the hypocrite.

>CDN for commercial software

What does that have to do with IPFS? IPFS doesn't really care what's on top of it.

All of the prospective "stores" can host their own IPFS nodes and contribute to the bandwidth availability, just like how a CDN works.

As bad as the HN echochamber is, NFTs.

Two words: Fallout 76

Crypto, there are axes to grind.

Who do you think the shareholders are? One unified group of cartoonishly evil mustache-twirling villains?

I'd be very pissed off if dividends or bond yields from across the industry dropped 50% overnight.

Of the largest shareholders of major corporations are mutual funds, pension funds and such that fund people who are completely dependent on investment income to live. A policy that causes a 50% change in profits would be a massive shock to those people.

Another factor I'd want to add is the impressive destruction of multi-generational households and even relationships. It has cemented loneliness in the old and lack of family values and destructive behavior in the young especially when both parents are working.

I don't know what cartoonish depiction of shareholders you are alleging here but they probably wouldn't be very happy to have a sudden 50% drop in profits without any prior planning or intimation.

Good Lord, we'll have to sacrifice Google, Facebook and Microsoft (and probably the two As) to the Gods, I'm fairly sure Facebook is certainly worse than fast food companies.
