My friends made an app. It's very cool. Imagine a youtube-like interface except you fetch videos and data from different sources and people write plugins for each source. As a result, a creator can switch from e.g. Youtube to Odysee to whatever else is the best without losing their audience. There's also decentralized comments and thumbs upping and downing

We are destroying Youtube's network effect. They are fucked.

https://grayjay.app/
It's an open source android app. There's no desktop version yet because making it work well on another platform is a lot of work.

Another interesting thing is that Youtube is now deleting videos that mention Grayjay

>just look at how sophisticated their tracking systems are
They were already as sophisticated as they had to be a decade ago. There were already ways to de-anonymize browsers and phones made that even easier. All they do now is change shit to show higher ups they're doing something so the higher ups can tell their higher up that they are doing something. 
A monopoly is a two sided dagger. They're the only video site but because they're the only video site there is always going to be hundreds if not thousands of people working 24/7 to crack the site, and they can thwart any roadblock Google is willing to pay for.

never heard about it yet QRD me on this algorithm

Also speaking of censorship (when 2020 started rolling) what are your thoughts on wokist/lefty youtubers who suddenly encoraged users to visit "bad-goy" websites like 1984chan and the likes and they also admitted to shitposting themselves (mutahar and moonreal is a big example of this) this whole thing honestly looks like standard practice at this point to appear unbiased and legitimate even though anyone who isnt retarded can see thier hidden agenda.

its just strange isnt it? dunno if its just me but why is youtube suddenly allowing covert "far righter rhetoric" under the guise "godly self imporvement" its almost like they earn good profit from selling out "toxic nofap motivation" ideologies from these staged eceleb channels behind everyones backs.

i fucking swear to god the comments section is literlly filled with edgy teenagers trying too hard to LARP as self righteous mature 10/10 chad aryan males spewing out (sometimes fabricated) force positivity quotes and trying to bully those "ebil weak men" who dont confom to thier "mentally strong mindset™" literally like /r9gay/ but inverted.

you never get the actual link to anything, the server generates timed links and give you a scrambled url, the ytplayer has the instructions to descramble the url into a working link, its just a sequence of shifts and splices on the url but it changes each week, its easy to get around only because they always obfuscate the code exactly the same way so its easy to find the cipher instructions they could make it a lot harder they just dont care

What happened to the creator of mpv exactly? Why did he get kicked out from his own project? What lead up to the mpv creator getting kicked out?

I posted this thread on Lainchan earlier, but I didn't get to see any replies and then when I went to check back on it, it got deleted most likely because it was offtopic despite it relating to FOSS. There is no ban message.

I'm looking for a way to get notifications when posts are made on all my favorite imageboards as a way to 
A) Discourage myself from spending hours aimlessly lurking dozens of sites and finding maybe one or two new posts, while I have stuff I really should be doing.
And
B) Encourage activity on these places by being able to respond promptly.

I want these notifications delivered to my phone, because I spend most of my time outside. I know /whitelist/ on Junkuchan has an RSS and an Atom feed, but I don't think most boards do.

If there's some app that already does this that would be cool, but it needs to work for any IB. I've tried out some IB browsers but they only work on a handful of boards, and never the ones I actually use, and with the current state of IBs to rely solely on some guy, who's probably knee-deep in a computer science major, and working on 6 other projects, to learn about every new IB I like and get it on their app doesn't seem practical.

And besides, I don't need a IB browser, just something that notifies me when a post is made. If this is something I'd have to make myself, I'm willing to do that, and if so, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction(s). I'm not particularly learned on computers or programming, but I've always been able to mash out anything that I set my mind to. So, I'm up for giving it a shot.

Such program doesn't exist. Image boards use different software and clients usually only support some of them.
To write your own, you can either web scrape or find & use apis of specific image board software.
Just make it yourself. I did too.
There is one braindead easy way to do it, which is what I do: periodically curl the page of the board you want to keep watch and diff it with the last one you downloaded. If they differ, a new post was made, you can do whatever you want with this information. I just push a desktop notification.

I just had an interaction with the website of some average business, and it made me wonder if email and regular communication is dead. That business has a contact form on their site, they receive 5+ spam emails every single day even though their contact form has a google captcha on it. Meanwhile, people struggle to receive legit emails because every email provider blocks literally everything.

If you put more heavy-handed captcha solutions on the site, you start filtering normalfags and hindering your business. While being able to filter bots would be a great victory, but it's only a half-victory because spammers can use some third world captcha farms to use human labor to solve captchas.

How would you logically fix this? How do you allow people to contact each other without having to deal with this AIDS? The dude who created Freenet has talked about a few techiques that sound interesting. The first is a token cost-based system, there's some thing that generates tokens over time or whatever, and then you must pay those tokens to send messages, and the received can customize how many tokens are required to send a message to them.

The second is a human network -based system where you choose to trust certain people, and whoever other people create a linked list from you to other people, the closer they are to the people you trust the less suspicious they are. The network of trusted people could then be used to judge people and websites/services as trustworthy or untrustw

KISS, just make spamming expensive. Ban any subnet that spams, and then reject all emails from them with a note that says they have to pay to get unbanned.
>>13000
I doubt spammers are using some kind of content analysis tools to find email addresses because nobody really hides them like that, at most people add spaces or parentheses around @ or replace it with "(at)" or something. I've seen a few websites that put their email onto an image.

I think sharing the contact address indirectly is very powerful at stopping the vast majority if not all bot spam, but it'll only work as long as it's unpopular so it's not any kind of final solution to spam. Replacing the "@" and "." with images would probably be enough too, it's unlikely that any bot is smart enough to figure out there's an email there unless they render the whole page and use an image-to-text converter on that (which they might start doing if everyone starts obscuring their addresses).
There are some very advanced techniques to del with spam. Take a look at rspamd, you can use bayes classifier https://rspamd.com/doc/configuration/statistic.html and even neural network https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/neural.html to deal with spam.
With how llms are popular today, I am surprised that it is not commonly done.

There's way too many people, even in business settings, who speak like troglodytes, and chat bots are indistinguishable from humans at this point. I don't see how analyzing sentence structure can detect a bot for that reason. AI may be able to do something but I'm not very confident about it because a lot of spam mail sound very similar some kind of business offers, who knows though.

That's what happens when you put your email address somewhere where it can be scrapped or give it to a company that sells it.
There is no solution to that if you want a permanent address inbox open to anyone.

You could regularly change the public address while staying connected with important people with SimpleX which I made a thread about but nobody is gonna use that just to write some stranger one message. I could be wrong though.

So there you go. It's gonna stay fucked.
I receive no sms spam though. Probably because it costs money to send them or because I haven't given it to any shitty websites nor posted on the web.

As others said, putting it in an image is probably a good solution.
Maybe put it vertically in the image and make @ larger, so it can't be ocr'd as easily.

BitChan has been updated to v0.10.0 and is looking for people to try it out. It's a decentralized imageboard that runs on top of BitMessage. You can create and completely control your own public or private board, globally moderate as an owner, add admins who can also globally moderate, moderate your own instance locally as a user, upload literally anything with size limits theoretically up to 100gb. Uploads can be sent purely over BitMessage or you can choose to use a hosting service. Uploads that use hosting are subjected to heavy duty protection: every file is zipped, encrypted/password protected, the zip's header is removed and random chunks of the file are removed before being uploaded. The removed parts are hidden in the PGP encrypted message that's sent over BitMessage. Once the upload is received the zip is put back together again, decrypted, unzipped and displayed in the thread. 100% of BitChan traffic happens over tor. Private boards prevent posting from all but explicitly added IDs. The permitted ID list can be edited by the owner at any point to include new IDs or restrict old ones. On public boards any ID can post until it is banned, but because of how BitMessage works, you can always just make another ID. Communications on every board are PGP encrypted. This means that even if someone somehow guessed the board name on BitMessage (basically impossible for reasons I won't go into here), they would be unable to read anything without also having the BitChan PGP symme

Just so you can be careful, this idea has fallen into my brain lately, and I think it's kind of smart.
Internet swindlers, especially beginners, have a problem with the domain. For example, you find suspicious sites that have a strange name domain and not as usual, so the victims ignore it.
What if someone had a kind of conversation with these nowadays zoomers who interested with " Darknet Bullshit" and gave himve a onion site to try on for exemple Facebook on Tor " facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion " and tell him that you can login in Facebook while using tor and shit, or you can do any site that pretending " Green Machines, Gore sites".

Back to the topic of minimalism, I had this idea of bootstrapping a minimal linux userland without any GNU tools. I was (partially) successful by using projects from the BSD/Android worlds:

-- toybox:		provides a shell (sh) + coreutils (cp,ls,mv,mkdir...etc) + gunzip/bunzip
-- oksh:		OpenBSD ksh ported to linux, much more powerful than toybox sh
-- sbase:		from suckless.org, provides expr and tr which are missing from toybox
-- bsdgrep:		FreeBSD grep ported to linux
-- oyacc:		OpenBSD yacc ported to linux
-- awk:			the "One True Awk" (build with oyacc instead of GNU bison)
-- curl:		alternative to wget (and toybox wget which doesn't work)
-- zig cc/c++:	the Zig compiler bundles clang, letting you compile C/C++ without an SDK
-- pdpmake:		general POSIX make tool with some GNU extensions
-- jlibtool:	alternative to libtool (not properly tested yet)
-- minlzma:		provides minlzdec for decompressing xz archives
-- cedit:		zero dependency TUI editor similar to nano

The main reason for me is the L/GPL. I can't e.g. statically link GCC and distribute it, or statically link my program to glibc and release it, because that would be against the license... Other reasons include bloat, difficulty of compilation, "debatable" standards conformance, and monopoly over the FOSS world. GNU software harms the software development ecosystem as much as it benefits it, so I'm looking for alternatives.
