Just feel things are very different now. Much harder to fight/work around with govt. And this leads to my 2nd link that, kinds of conspiracy, that we maybe already have backdoor in open source projects because they are hard to detect as long as there are pre-build tools.

Anyway, lots of feelings after reading this post…

How things is done 30 years ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#Criminal_investigation

And this by Ken Thompson 40 years ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)#Compiler_backdoors

Or, I think this can be, kinds of, archived by ‘simple’ enhancement at client side without changing today’s server side implementation. At Lemmy client, user can choose to group several different communities to user defined virtual community. Like today’s client, we have ‘All’ and ‘subscribrd’ 2 big groups, If the web/app client allow user define more group like ‘news’ ‘meme’ etc, and combined then in one view, then that’s pretty much meet your needs? Tbh, this will be very cool feature if any client can do this, or there is already such client?

Maybe because Linux rarely die?

There is simply no way to pre-store any arbitrary long text because the possible combination is just tooo huge. It is like draw a bullseye where you arrow landed. You search any paragraph, it search existing index, if not found then save it and assign it a new index. Of course it may use some algorithms to optimize/decrease the space needed.

From it’s wiki page, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel_(website) ‘’’ The website can generate all possible pages of 3200 characters and allows users to choose among about 10^4677 potential pages of books. ‘’’

PS, I think again, indeed this actually does not need any storage, it can be URL to text encoding/decoding, the URL itself can determine/generate the actual text. And same for the opposite direction

Yeah, I agree with you, but it is this way in the repo: https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy/tags

Full of ‘excuses’, don’t want to repeat, you can google many articles about gpl violation (or not). My opinion is this is bad. Your based on thousand other people’s free/open source work, and added your work, if you want to limit/restrict public access, then don’t use gpl based linux, go back to your AIX. ( This restriction is violation GPL, I know lawyer with huge money can argue anything, so again imo)

Haha, TSR, man, good old memories… Is there a famous TSR called sidekick? Chain of CD 09H… :)

yeah, I agree with you, for anyone new to debian maybe should follow official suggestion. But as user using debian so long, I think I understand the risk (of course the benefit) of my setup. Maybe I will try sid someday. Have a nice day!

Want share my 2c as I prefer testing over sid. It is balance which side you want. Sid got break more freq but also fixed more quickly. Testing has less break but fix also come slowly. For me I prefer less break. So I setup preference/policy to get testing higher than sid. This is not for breakage/fix nor security fix. This is about package available. I think Firefox is one example that testing only has esr so it will install latest from sid and most other packages still tracking testing. Again personal choices and that’s beauty of Linux.
