The case for this browser, is that there needs to be multiple independents web browsers, to push for innovation. Google Chrome is NOT open source, and is bloated and monopolistic. Competition drives innovation!

Northstar browser is implements in C, takes a few minutes to compile and is secure because it doesn't rely on a JIT compiler.

Available for Windows on Windows store
Git repo https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/nordstjernen-browser.
There are 3 variants of the browser now, so we can do experiments and research. We also need funding. All variants are available open source.

We are 3 developers now, a Polish man, a Spaniard, and me in Norway.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

Submission + - Freenet: Apps Without Platforms

Sanity writes: Earlier this year Slashdot covered the launch of the completely redesigned Freenet. I recently gave a talk about what we've been building since then. Unlike traditional web applications, apps on Freenet have no central server or database, with application state instead distributed across the network. These now include decentralized group chat, publishing, search, and fully decentralized Git hosting. The talk also gets into some of Freenet's internals, including how we use machine learning for network routing.

You're incorrect. You couldn't be more wrong.

In the case of old-style vaccines, the antigen is not attached to any cells. The only thing that the immune system attacks is the antigen.

For mRNA, you want the mRNA to stay local, since the mechanism has your own cells producing antigen, and those *cells* are attacked. Not an issue with muscle cells.

However,if the mRNA enters the bloodstream, it means that actual organ cells may be the target of the immune response, which in turn causes inflammation. The heart? Myocarditis, pericarditis. The ovaries? Sudden erratic periods. The brain? Brain fog.

This is why there were negative side effects. See: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a... - tl;dr is easily read in their conclusion:

"A wide distribution of vaccine mRNA in organs can lead to systemic adverse effects and, therefore, there would be a need in the future to develop lipid nanoparticles allowing targeted delivery of mRNA vaccines in specific cells..."

So no, you absolutely don't want a "generalized response" - at least, not from the underlying mRNA mechanism.

Comment Re:Cut the pseudoscientific nonsense (Score 1) 209

That's not how mRNA vaccines work, or at least, how they were advertised to work. You will not find any cite that indicates that they're supposed to enter the bloodstream. They were supposed to stay at the local site, and produce the antigen at the local site of injection.

See: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/vacc...

It clearly says:

"After vaccination, the mRNA will enter the muscle cells. Once inside, they use the cells' machinery to produce a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein."

Happy to see evidence to the contrary, but I doubt that you'll be able to produce it.

Didn't know that mRNA vax is not even cost effective for the most part.

I forgot one other issue:

* The mRNA has huge variation in how long it's in effect, in addition to how much antigen it produces. Not an issue with "old school" vaccines.

No more mRNA vax for me.

Comment Nope Nope Nope (Score 0) 209

The covid mRNA vaccines are problematic for the following reasons:

* The mRNA does not stay localized (i.e., your arm muscle). It has been shown to travel all over the body. This may be partially related to how injects are administered. If you get an mRNA vax, ask for aspiration before injection to insure that they're not hitting a blood vessel.

* mRNA that arrives in the wrong place can cause significant issues for certain organs. This is likely the explanation for heart inflammation, erratic periods for women, brain fog, etc.

* There is no "off switch" - meaning that the amount of antigen that is produced varies tremendously for each individual. Too much antigen is not a good thing.

I will not touch an mRNA vax again unless and until these types of issues are addressed.
