base64 image is just text...
How do you stop someone posting base64 encoded CSAM. And as it is "censorship resistant" you can't even remove it.... It was even a problem here in Lemmy, assholes are around the internet to destroy anything.
Also cryptobros:
The captcha service can be replaced by other "anti-spam strategies", such proof of balance of a certain cryptocurrency. For example, a subplebbit owner might require that posts be signed by users holding at least 1 ETH, or at least 1 token of his choice.
The more I read about this it sounds more and more terrible.
From the whitepaper it seems like you cannot comment at all? Or each comment is a post also, so you need a server, you need to host it to be able to reply? I don't see a mention how an upvote/downvote system could work.
How this is even similar to reddit? From what I could find it's much like a topic based microblogging, and it's a very one way communication. As it's similar to IPFS and torrent, which are also very one way communication. Seems like an interesting idea, but I don't see why it was compared to reddit.
Personal opinion, IPFS clones are reinvented about every year, and because they sound very good on paper, but noone could figure out a legit usecase - maybe except piracy - they fail after a while. Maybe if we would become an actual InterPlanetary species with colonies on Mars they could be useful, but until I don't really see a point trying it again and again and again...
I don't said your devices will stop working, you misunderstand the whole conversation. Form factors change all time, I have here a 5.25" 8 MB HDD next to me. "Planned obsolescence" that I can't use a 30 years old component? You can hardly buy a motherboard with floppy or IDE/PATA ports. Do you also miss them?
I mean, it's expected that new devices won't have all the old ports, like USB killed all the serial and parallel and other terrible single use ports, thanks god. You can always buy dongles, like, I have IDE-USB converter so I can still use my old devices. I recently bought a laptop IDE-m.2 converter, so I can use m.2 sata SSD in a Win-98 era laptop. Where is this obsolescence, I could work it around easily. SATA won't disappear, and 2.5" to 3.5" adapters are cheap as hell, as it's just a plastic frame.
It's the same with NVMe, what do you mean.
Have you ever opened a 2.5" sata ssd? half of the box is empty, it's just there so you can screw it to the case on the other side. I hope that form factor will die soon. We need nvme in m.2 format for everything small, and 3.5" for servers. 2.5" should disappear.
Veritasium had a good video recently about SS7, and how users can be tracked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y

Other benefit of zigbee that devices can't connect directly to the internet, so you don't have to trust them, you don't have to create vlans, they can't be turned into a botnet. Also in zigbee every device can be a router, so they can more easily cover bigger houses.
I wouldn't replace a wifi based system with zigbee, but recommend it to anyone starting now. This post wanted to be an advice to newcomers...
Ikea bulbs use zigbee, their prices are very good and they are more reliable than chinese stuff.
It's up to you how you automate your smart home. My useful light related automations:
- When I arrive home and the light sensor see it's dark it switches on the living room light
- if I pause a movie in jellyfin it turns on a light, if I hit play it switches it off
- The off timer of a movement activated light depends on if my projector is turned on, it switches off more quickly when the projector is on
- If I'm not home it switches off everything automatically, so I can't forget any lights on
