De-Orchestrating #Hyphanet with the QUEEN program:
draketo.de/politik/de-orchestr

Sadly still relevant today, in many contexts.

The most obvious fix is: Stay friendly, stick together, keep honest and greet every newcomer as a potential ally. And call out disrupting behaviour early on.

@Freenet Found bin/remove_cronjob.sh and ran it.

Do any of my followers use #Hyphanet (formally #Freenet) so I can add you as a friend?

@light The funding by FUTO sadly led to the forced renaming:
hyphanet.org/freenet-renamed-t

That new project does not have privacy as a goal.

We (Hyphanet) are fully volunteer-driven now. #Hyphanet has been working pretty well for the past two decades and is continuing to move forward. Features:

- websites
- Microblog (Sone)
- Chat (FLIP: IRC server)
- Forums (FMS)
- decentralized database

@caten #Freenet is being funded by @futo and it's predecessor #Hyphanet (formally called @Freenet) has been around for a long time.

For the 1501 release, our #Debian package was missing. It had been built by the pipeline, so it just needed to be added to the release:

Thanks to tompom for asking!

@CCC Vielleicht sollten spätestens jetzt möglichst viele Leute ihre Kommunikationsstrukturen¹ dem öffentlichen Zugriff entziehen.

#Freenet / #Hyphanet kann dabei helfen, indem Nachrichten unter Freunden vertraulich werden und öffentliche Kommunikation über Pseudonyme läuft, die kaum auf reale Personen zurückgeführt werden können.

@ModernDayNTK actually we had to rename almost two years ago, 23 years after it started. The name is #Hyphanet now. Some background, if you want to look:
freenetproject.org/freenet-ren

A takeaway — a lesson learned: if a project you contribute to has some structure with some board, make sure that the people with a say are in touch with development and have a stake in the success of the project.

Took us 18 months to pick up the pieces so we could create releases on all platforms again.

OK Once more, one will say that @Freenet is just a space for nerds with high computer skills... But that's not true...
BTW I did participate in a small coding challenge in the spirit of good old #demoscene and you can check the results at gitlab.com/hyphanet/demo-chall
Join us ! It's nice and fun !

Eine Regierung unter Merz wird Überwachung bringen. Wir werden kämpfen müssen, um das zu begrenzen.
Und wir werden Strukturen brauchen, um vertraulich sprechen zu können.

Eine Möglichkeit dafür ist #Hyphanet, das ursprüngliche Freenet:

hyphanet.org

🐇

Dezentrale Freie Software für vertrauliche Kommunikation.

Es liefert seit einem Vierteljahrhundert eine technische Säule für Datenschutz, einen sicheren Hafen, um den Widerstand gegen Überwachung zu organisieren.

@geo @madeindex Freenet/Hyphanet's opennet mode is fundamentally broken (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphanet#Vulnerabilities) and the project plainly admits it too (https://www.hyphanet.org/pages/help.html#wont-attack-x-break-hyphanets-anonymity) (onion/garlic routing and cover traffic would help).

Correlation attacks are pretty much the death knell for opennet and darknet mode has unreasonable trust requirements.

As for #I2P, it does have some cover traffic in a way, with its mixing tunnels. It'd be nice if the batching & delay TODO work was done though.

C'est #vendredilecture ! Le livre de cette semaine sera L'art zen du temps d'Erik Pigani.

Cet ouvrage vous donne des méthodes pour réapprendre à prendre son temps. Un livre indispensable en ces temps ou tout va toujours plus et trop vite.

Personnellement il m'a fait beaucoup de bien. Il n'est pas sans me rappeler la philosophie de mon réseau préféré : #Hyphanet

#books #livre #lecture #zen #meditation #yoga #time #temps #freenet

Cette image montre la couverture d'un livre en français intitulé "L'Art Zen du Temps" écrit par Erik Pigani. Le sous-titre indique "Mieux gérer sa vie tout en restant zen". La couverture est élégante et minimaliste, avec un design épuré en noir, blanc et gris. Un caractère japonais apparaît en gris clair en arrière-plan, et il y a une petite illustration d'une branche d'arbre verte. Le livre est publié aux éditions "Presses du Châtelet". La mise en page est équilibrée et reflète bien l'esprit zen du titre avec sa simplicité et son espace blanc.

@cferdinandi that might be bad, yes …

Regarding the political climate: did I already invite you to #Hyphanet?
hyphanet.org/

It doesn’t look great (its UX is quite subpar in places), but it provides more confidential communication than other tools — and has been in use for almost 25 years now.

@cferdinandi Signal would already have helped the kid stay safe in this situation (so: please keep spreading Signal!). But remember that one of the supporters of Trump is Peter Thiel who owns Palantir.

The core product of Palantir uses metadata to find targets. You’ll want to get ready before that’s getting trained on people who annoy Trump.

⇒ get #Hyphanet to move at least some of your communication out of its reach:
hyphanet.org

@cferdinandi I can only dearly suggest getting on #Freenet #Hyphanet *now*.

If Trumpists already go after schoolchildren whose political opinion annoys them, you need a place to organize confidentially, and you need it as soon as possible — ideally last week.

hyphanet.org

I’ve been warning of this danger for years and now that time has come in the USA.

Also invite your friends:

peer-to-peer networks that worked
core challenges, routing, and privacy

#slides: draketo.de/software/p2p-talk.p

This 90 minutes talk describes how peer-to-peer networks managed to interactively search 4 million computers with the bandwidth of 2004, which goals they failed to reach, and what information the networks expose as part of their operation.

Part of the title slide:

 From Gnutella and Kademlia
 Over BitTorrent

 Those who don’t learn from the tech of the past are doomed to repeat its mistakes — with less time and brain share, since “the problems are already solved”.
