Re: Decentralize the Internet?
Well, As far as net censorship goes, I can attest personally that it *DOES* exist. I have been shadow banned on twitter for over a year (I have a viewpoint that is apparently at odds with the corporate theology). I have tested this through several sources, so it’s a verified fact from where I sit. The same thing has been happening on other social media platforms. Of recent note: Twitter, Facebook and Apple have either banned or removed Infowars (and Alex Jones) from their platforms. All of them have cited terms of service violations as the reasons, yet others who have done far worse are still on those platforms. So, free speech (and free software) are in danger. You might not think that one goes with the other, but they do. Without free speech, authoring software outside of “approved publishers” becomes vastly more difficult (as those publishers could bring pressure to bear and possibly get you, the open source author, arrested, jailed or silenced). There is a reason why the world enjoys the fruits of the current technologies, and it all comes down to the fact that we, here in the US, largely invented most of it. Firstly was the first telegraph that was electrically powered. This came about in the very late 1820’s. It wasn’t long before the telephone came along (an outgrowth of this technology). Combine that with The invention of the light bulb, and also Tesla’s discovery of alternating current and you have the basis for all that follows. Those 4 items were invented here in the US under a system that allowed for technological innovation (and free speech played a large part in this, even if not apparent). The first electronics? Invented here in the US. The first solid state electronics… same thing! So, yeah, I have trouble with large organizations that think they know better than we do what information should pass and what is held back. We saw this play out since 1991 with the invention of a new OS called Linux and the efforts by which another large organization tried to have it killed (both by the courts or by sabotage in the public space). So, yeah, this problem is real and already has far reaching effects. What will happen to free software should the big tech companies deem it a threat? That question is no longer one of conjecture. Btw, sorry if this sounds like a rant folks, but it’s clear to me that a lot of people just aren’t seeing the problem (they are being distracted by a lot of side issues, and deliberately so). -Eric > On Sep 6, 2018, at 8:21 PM, techli...@phpcoderusa.com wrote: > > On 2018-09-02 09:05, Matt Birkholz wrote: > >> I hear tell there is talk of decentralizing the Internet, maybe even >> breaking up the NSA/Google/Facebook duopoly fnord.

Re: OT: New Chromebook won't reach printer
Odd thing, but if you replaced it, it probably got a new ip address that it sees as something other than the original device. Might check to delete the old and add the new. I went through this replacing my home dhcp server with another, and let most general things reset. Broke all my home automation stuff that that rely upon things in one fashion or another.

Re: Containers
I finally got the danged thing to work. Forgot that xfs on cent7 doesn't support the overlay2 d_type dependency. So, what I did as root was the following. created 2 ext4 lv's. moved everything in /var/lib/docker to one and mounted it up on /var/lib/docker. the other was blank and I mounted it up on /opt/seafile-data. That got it to start. The root webpage doesn't have a redirect, so you have to poke around a bit. http:///accounts/login/ if the d_type thing is your problem, it'll be hanging around in your journald logs.

I have been trying to install seafile via docker, following the guide found online at seafile's website. However when I attempt to invoke the dock with it utilizing /opt/seafile as the root directory for the instance, I get errors that the dock can't create directories during the initialization. At this point I'm ready to give up on trying to use containers and simply install upon the bare metal. Thoughts? Ideas? Any requests for specific error output will be delivered when I can get back home and get to it from my computer instead of my phone. -Matt --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Todd Cole >>> Ubuntu Arizona Team >>> 2928 W El Caminito >>> Phoenix AZ 85051-3957 >>> to...@azloco.com >>> 602-677-9402 >>> --- >>> PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >>> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >>> http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >> >> >> >> -- >> James McPhee >> jmc...@gmail.com >> --- >> PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >> http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > --- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -- James McPhee jmc...@gmail.com --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
