Hamas had a ring doorbell, which is why we must level this hospital

And the infrastructure can be far more decentralized than oil wells and refineries which are easy targets for missile strikes.

Running a comrade-adjacent communication server on a residential IP is probably worse for your privacy than using a cloud provider. Especially considering how many other instances will try to talk to yours.

I understand the cost argument completely. I’d only really recommend using a VPS for the Dendrite server, just so your identity isn’t linked to the server…or at least reverse proxy from a cloud provider so your IP isn’t exposed by running it. Would also be considerably cheaper than running the homeserver itself.

Dendrite is at least significantly lighter on resources. How well does it run for you? Any significant hiccups or maintenance burdens?

You are running a synapse server on a residential network? Wild.

I think its far deeper than just payments.

Payments covers basically anything of material impact. Information spread is pretty useless if you do not have the means of acting on it.

They want to track, and have full control over, all online traffic.

Track, yes. But I really doubt that they have any intent on implementing draconian control over information flow.

Letting people believe they have free choice goes so far to strengthen the system (see voting in bourgeois democracy), and OSINT sources are too valuable for taking out those who do actually make an impact.

The gameplan IMO is to:

1. Flood the space with LLM bullshit.
2. Track everyone producing or consuming content outside the sphere of bullshit.
3. Use that information to make targeted arrests, deportations, or assassinations of high impact figures.

Now is as good a time as any to start making friends with comrades outside your country and setting up server hosting and encrypted tunneling.

To me all of these point to a concerted effort to control the internet, and what content is available on it. They’ll start out on the easy PR ones like Piracy, and “Kids Safety”, and then move on to political speech pretty quickly.

Nah, they will allow piracy and porn and whatnot because it allows them to maintain the illusion that Westerners are free. What will happen is an absolute crackdown on browsing social media & and posting on one of the major networks without giving up your identity.

The entire purpose is to preempt political thought. Commie YouTube video = “sorry not verified, please confirm your identity” Now to read posts by comrades, you will be forced to have your name register on an NSA server.

Corporations will love this because it gives them another reason to roadblock their content behind a spyware auth paywall to prevent LLM scrapers from proxying their content.
