How to keep your TV from spying on you:
Take the back off, look for a wire that goes to a small module which generally is at the top or the bottom edge.
Unplug it and tape it down. The TV will assume the wifi card failed and will continue to operate just fine.
Smart TV features will no longer work, which is what you want.
If you ever need to update the firmware you can always plug in the RJ-45 jack to a router, then unplug when finished.
 
All "Smart" TV's will still sniff the internet via wireless when getting ads and sending your viewing habits to them as part of their profit schemes, even if you turn off wifi on the TV.

Eeeeh. They aren't really for privacy but can be used to escape government censorship if they block sites at local ISPs.

I'm going to leave an invitation to a crypto pump group on Telegram.
 
In this pump group you don't need to know anything about the market or know how to operate or anything like that, you just buy and sell at the price they send you. To join the VIP group you talk to the moderator, who is the @ in the posts.
 
You just need to understand the basics of crypto, buying and selling on Binance, etc. It's really easy.

I'll also leave my Bitcoin wallet address here in case you want to thank me later.

Pi Network es una nueva criptomoneda desarrollada por un grupo de doctores de la Universidad de Stanford que puedes ganar con tu teléfono celular.
Puede ganar sus propias monedas PI de forma gratuita, simplemente descargue la aplicación Pi Network desde Google Play Store o Apple App Store, después de instalarla, simplemente ingrese el código "Berssange" e inicie sesión en la aplicación una vez al día para demostrar que no es un bot y listo, ganarás una determinada cantidad de moneda por hora.
No agota la batería de su teléfono y ni siquiera necesita dejar la aplicación abierta, el Pi no afecta el rendimiento de su teléfono ni usa los datos de su red.
La moneda es nueva y aún no tiene precio, es un buen momento para ingresar, así que simplemente venda la moneda cuando entre al mercado.
Buena oportunidad para conseguir Pi gratis y obtener muchos beneficios más adelante.

I posted about this a while back but it was still in the early stages then, I've been working more on my P2P imageboard software, and after the underlying p2p database engine (Peerbit) has undergone some major upgrades, the performance and stability are a lot more robust now. There are also a lot more UX improvements recently based on user feedback. I've attempted to keep the dependencies minimal and make the install process as simple as possible. There are several nodes online to my knowledge but I don't necessarily have a full map or total knowledge of the network. Feel free to try it out and join the swarm lol.
https://gitgud.io/threshold862543/peerchan
 
For moderation I've kept a totally "flat" architecture where each node is free to delete any content at any time. But this deletion only applies to the node itself by default. If you want to be able to delete things on other user's nodes, they have to subscribe to your node as a moderator, and then when you delete something, that deletion action will be broadcast to others and they will accept it in their own local database. So you can subscribe to other people as moderators if you trust them to be able to delete things for you.
 
Each board is it's own independently-seeded topic and you can watch (join) or unwatch (leave) a board topic at any time.
 
There are various config options to customize your experience too.
 
Posts and file uploads are made under a newly generated temporary identity every time (by default) for the sake of anonymity. If you want to anonyitymax at the networking level I recommend using Whonix to connect, though ideally eventually native integration with Tor can be developed for Peerbit or libp2p itself. That being said, already there is no association between a post and the uploading IP, when you receive a post from another node, the original poster is not known, as posts and files are relayed from node to node without recording the source.
 
And this is the Peerbit p2p database system it uses which is built on libp2p.

Why is your proxy location set to J$p$n? I think I had seen this project before but I can't seem to remember where exactly did I see it, probably in here, in 4chan, or browing trough some webpage. What even motivated you to work on this project in the first place?
 
Also two questions:
 
What's your end goal with it?
Do you believe it will eventually replace the boards we have in the modern era? It's not like imageboards have had any relevance whatsoever except in the eastern asia archipielago, which is where they originated from to begin with. I just think pseudo anonymous websites are the best. Too much anonimity and it is just screaming to the void, and broadcasting your entire persona in a website is detrimental in the long run. Having forums where you go with nicknames are the best imo, although there are uses for anonymous imageboards for sure
JapanBernd2024-11-04 08:54:49 · 2yNo. 325733reply
I posted it here earlier this year when it was still in the earlier stages of development. Now that there have been enough upgrades to Peerbit that I think the system can handle more throughput I'm thinking it's time to post about it again.
 
The main motivation for me is that I notice how imageboards and online communities often fall to control of rulefags, who often organize offsite to control the experience of the users and manage the content. This ends up stifling the creative freedom of the userbase and leads to the cultural collapse of the community.
 
I very much value free expression and think that the most interesting memes and ideas are able to develop and emerge in environments of freedom, and this is something I want to facilitate. I think to do this, power should be returned to the individual user, to control the content they wish to replicate. Self sovereignty of data, you can say.
 
Personally I appreciate the anonymous imageboard format as I think the anonymity is a key factor in being able to express onesself without restriction or hesitation based on social or personal factors. Content is "detached" from the individual poster, and able to stand for itself rather than being linked to an identity.
The client-server model has sort of limited this from reaching it's ideal state however, as on the backend, moderators have access to IP address information that they can use to track individual users and even suppress their expression based on that "backend identity". Such moderators typically communicate off-board using static identities and personas and, and this causes a fundamental misalignment between the interests and mindset of the userbase, and the interests and mindset of the moderators.
 
My main goals are to to support freedom of expression, memetic evolution, and self-sovereignty in communication; people being able to communicate freely and directly with their peers.

I think the idea of a p2p board is really cool.
Is it fully p2p only though? As in, is all data lost if all nodes go offline?
JapanBernd2024-11-04 17:54:55 · 2yNo. 325800reply
Yeah, if all nodes go offline and you started a node you wouldn't see any of the existing posts or files until one of them goes online again.
But there are at least a few "always online" seed nodes running for several of the boards.
