FEDBOOK contracting is a good sign
by professor rat 18 May '22

18 May '22

Fedbook now marks a dirty high-water-mark of the globalized internet platform. Sort of like a McDonalds of the web. And now both corporates are receding from the fiction of Francis Fuck-yo-Mama that we had reached the end of history with corporate globalized neo-liberalism. You may say that's bad since the rise of Red Fascism in China and Chekist revanchism in Russia. But neither of those two can make any claim to global hegemony - and they know it. This leaves an opening for us and the posing of a stark choice - cryptoanarchist revolution or business-as-usual conformity. We are now the only valid and viable alternative to the status quo. Welcome to the revolution!

I thought it was funny that a supposedly ( world-is-flat ) globalized net platform was suddenly turning patriotic American standing firm against the looming totalitarian menace from the East. Remember " True Lies "? Similar preposterous nonsense. But I hear you - I'll put in some emoj's next time. Also add context for uber morons - like " FEDBOOK as last- (USA) line-of-defense

ISP/System/Remote-API Misbehaviors

This morning, I saw a long test upload of mine had failed. It keeps failing on restart. It calls out to a tool called arkb, but fails with this: Requesting: https://arweave.net:443/tx_anchor Error: timeout of 100000ms exceeded The error shows it is a simple GET request, and happens again when I run the process again. You can see the full error uploaded at https://arweave.net/bxVRcuA4AIDlVqV_Z5L2tW742TQkS4pwxVnw-FZotxA . Meanwhile, if I do the request manually, it's working fine: $ time curl https://arweave.net/tx_anchor t4cNiM_h_U_6lA0DGq5qYSb-vGGp3L7B0K0L74M6f-4LfJNZP2sHfe_nB3M3bQFF real 0m0.564s user 0m0.024s sys 0m0.011s Similarly, uploading the error message worked fine. The failure only happens from a specific arkb upload, and presently is happening reliably. It's frustrating that I see no immediate indication of why the error would occur, and would need to resort to a packet log to properly diagnose it. The call happens within a dependency library of arkb.

He's ignored all comradely, collegial and convivial requests to modify his output downwards so that's why I started a deadpool on him ( and his fellow spammers, Gramps and Nazi ) If cypherpunks can't clean up their own back yard how is crypto-anarchy ever supposed to work world-wide? Money where mouth is - put up or shut up - and TAKE out the TRASH - the worst first.

American Edge ads bash policymakers seeking to regulate the Internet as having a “misguided agenda,” or wanting to “take away the technology we use every day.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/17/american-edge-facebook… In advertisements and op-eds, American Edge plays on fears about the tech prowess of China, a talking point of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The group also argues, in ominous tones, that new antitrust laws will weaken the American tech sector, hurting the tools used by minority-owned small businesses and dismantling companies that could provide a line of defense against cyberattacks from an increasingly aggressive Russia.
