Because I've tried using LLMs to generate code and I've seen the results. They are not usable. They *resemble* valid code, but they typically throw exceptions and raise errors, they can't pass unit tests, and they don't correctly handle edge cases. AI-generated code is a mess that *superficially looks right* but isn't fit to purpose.

There is a meme going around about the fact that you can tackle a normal coding task by spending 3 hours to write code and 1 hour to debug and test it, or you can use CoPilot to spend 15 minutes to write the code and 8 hours to debug and test it. That matches my experience.

I've been uses Name.com and Google Domains for years. The recent sale of Google Domains to SquareSpace incentivized me to look for alternatives. The advise I got mainly came down to Namecheap and Porkbun.

I moved some domains from Google to Namecheap and it went fairly easily except for one which was a total pain in the ass which required intervention from an online support specialist, and even then it sucked.

I moved some others to Porkbun and it was as smooth as glass. I moved the rest of my Google domains over and have started migrating my Name.com domains over there as well, due to it becoming so pricey.

I have the orders product name:

the Asus GTFO

The new Freenet is written in Rust.

lol - same thing with pilots ;)

Thank you!

You're very welcome :)

When the new Freenet is up and running, I think it will be the first system of any kind that could host something like wikipedia, not just the data but the wiki CMS system it's built on. An editable wikipedia, entirely decentralized and very scalable.

I think when the history of the last decade is written, it will be about - in part - the terrible social damage caused by opaque and biased social media algorithms manipulating the public discourse.

Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.

Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.

Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.

I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing :)

Totally agree about the importance of naming, and Freenet has the advantage of literally describing what we're building - a free network.

We've already had interest from everyone from video game developers who want to build a decentralized MMORPG, to political advocacy groups across the political spectrum. Plenty of people value freedom.

You're being surprisingly judgmental when it doesn't seem like you even read the first few paragraphs on the website about it, let alone the other available documentation.

We're still early but we already have a user manual that goes into quite a bit of detail, if you'd like to take a look and if you still have questions I'd be happy to answer.
