Nip it in the bud. The reactionary dismantling of the federated Internet.

There is a huge outcry about the fact that a discussion forum was held at the CCC's Chaos Congress to discuss the possibilities of centralizing and censoring the federated Internet. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/de/event/fediverse-governance-fishbowl-diskussion/

Now, the #Chaos in Chaos Computer Club stands for chaos (get it?) and not for order and cleanliness. If I had wanted surveillance and law and order, I would have joined the CDU or become a cop. It is also impressive that the independent Internet is referred to as “radical anarchism” and that is obviously a bad thing. And now we don't know exactly what a non-radical anarchism would look like? With a king? Or a police state?

And what I always ask myself in the face of such authoritarian outbursts is: who then makes the rules that we are supposed to follow? Usually it is the fantasies of omnipotence of those who demand it. But why should we follow them? Where does the authority to decide for others come from?

In “Radical Enlightenment A world of open sources” this question is also asked: Freedom, our greatest good? https://word.undeadnetwork.de/freiheit-unser-hochstes-gut

In this context, @tuxwise criticizes the discovery plan of the Mastodon project. Quite rightly, I must say. https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/issues/46

In summary, I think both #Mastodon and #CCC are great things that I have actively supported for many years. And that is why these reactionary, authoritarian tendencies must be strongly opposed! The FOSS community has been creating tools to do just that from the very beginning! NIP IT IN THE BUD!

@Hoss @catmanmancat @nyanide @Hyperhidrosis With any luck, fedi will end up like the Voynich Manuscript of the internet.

Stop, think of the video game DOOM. Imagine playing it, moving through a level.

DOOM is now running on you.

Here are some published random number projects.

In 1955, the RAND corporation published a book titled "A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates".

The random number were produced via an electronic simulation of a roulette wheel attached to a computer. The results were filtered and tested before added to the large table.

The book is 400 pages each containing 50 lines of 50 digits. Columns and lines are grouped in fives and the lines are numbered 00000-19999.
