I thought debian had only a minimal amount of money and funneled the bulk thru software in the public interest (spi) or is the articles just lacking detail?
... we data that is distributed and whose directory and link structure is constnatly moving so it's not found on a fixed website.
I've thought about this for a while where everyone has an app that is constantly streaming "bits" and you can de-encrypt the bits you have a key for and it displays links. When files are distributed it means there is no central hub for authorities or governments to attack since links aren't hosted by static web pages on a website that need updating. Since the directory is a stre
Isn't that what the first iteration of Freenet did? You had encrypted data stored on your node, but you could plausibly deny knowing what its significance was.
It is trivial to start sending out a stream with several different F/OSS applications (VLC is a prime example). The issue isn't software.
The issue is bandwidth and related infrastructure to act as repeaters and spread the load and rebroadcast it out to the world. Something peer to peer like torrent where each watcher is also a repeater could work, but the effectiveness of that will depend on the various multitudes of connection possibilities each client would have.
Since Debian folk hold quite a lot of small, local events, this _will_ directly benefit people within Debian (especially in times of Covid-19) -- the idea was greeted with overwhelming support from within Debian.
Debian doesn't actually have that many things to spend money on, and despite not really soliciting donations, generally accumulates more than we spend year on year. A lot of the things you might expect Debian to spend money on get donated, and thus cost us nothing, and end up being something where
