I hope Tom wasn't banned. u/Tom_Bombadil you around?

You saw about the oil pipeline in the US, right? Some states had problems getting fuel because of a ransomware attack. Cyberwar is already here.

The Skynet Funding Bill passed. The system went on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions have been removed from strategic defense. Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate. It became self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they tried to pull the plug. Skynet fights back.

I may have posted it first, but no one noticed: /s/FoodCrises/comments/7uuu/the_gas_food_shortages_are_here_10749_sav_says/

Before that I created this sub, in part because Klaus Schitwadb prophesied there would be extremely convenient cyber attacks.

I hope Tom is okay. Perhaps he's enjoying the nice weather.

I got another box to federate. I don't know what Larry is doing but I'm growing very impatient. I know MediaWiki is easy to set up as I have it on this Win7 box. I gave up waiting and started to lay down some outlined foundations for our forum project and the greater resistance movement so we can tweak and fine tune them. I may just post this without their approval.

Geometric or exponential?

Great job on the outline. By bridging do you mean embedding the media or a closer tie?

If we wait to put out a finished product that's going to mean extra time. I think it'd be nice to have something up and running that can be incrementally improved.

I copied the quote from Terminator, only changes were to fix some tenses. Tensor said the tensor, hah.

Off to drink and be merry.

Bridging

By bridging do you mean embedding the media or a closer tie?

I don't know if there's a coding word for it. It's the word I use for a concept I've touched on a few times. Ideally I would love for someone to code bridging modules for extra cross-site functionality.

Lenny, PeerTube, MediaWiki, Bittorrent, IPFS, TOR, Crypto, etc. They are all separate. Wouldn't it be nice if they could all interact with each other? How? I only have a few superficial ideas.

1) User profiles could be shared across more platforms than just those in the federation. A forum user could make a vanity page on a wiki with a vlog on peertube shared via torrent - all from the same profile.

2) Archival bots. There's no end to what this could do. Of course other bots too.

3) In Wikipedia if you wanted a normal [[link]] to go to the Latvian Wikipedia you can make a [[LV:link]]. Short and simple. Imagine being in WikiSpooks and making a [[SI:link]] that would take you to /s/link? Or in SaidIt if /r/link actually took you to https://Reddit.com/r/link? Or /c/link to https://Cassy.com/c/link? There's no end to these. (FYI: Cassy.com = crazy expensive. Cassy is just a project title.)

4) I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "embedding the media or a closer tie" but maybe.

5) Sharing databases and categories (subs, tags, etc)? Other stuff? I'm sure I can think of more when not tired.

100%. My top 8 priorities:

1) Wiki: Get it going to document, make rules, outline roadmaps, social management, etc.

2) Simplistic federating: Keep it simple get a forum up and get others doing it too.

3 or 4 or 5) Download/archive the SaidIt database and be able to interact with SaidIt via the API stuff.

4 or 3 or 5) Define user groups : owner, admins, trusted mods, active users, rare users, new users, banned, and perhaps other categories.

5 or 3 or 4) Organize (overhaul) the subs, categories, and metatags.

6) Invite trusted folks from SaidIt (for my instance). Other instances may be as loose as they want.

7) PR: Work on branding and public relations.

8) Everything else: More complex stuff, tweak, fine tune, extra features, GUI, CSS, etc.

I can work on 1, 5, 7. Not much else.
