Zerk fitting?

I agree. It seems ironic that Nostr devs keep building Nostr on GitHub (Microsoft's centralized platform) while touting the importance of decentralization, even as our own community creates a decentralized git alternative. There are other options, like Codeberg/Gitea/Forgejo, that are readily available.

GitHub has a major problem with fake rankings, which could put users at risk of attack

Don’t trust GitHub stars, report warns

https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/github-has-a-major-problem-with-fake-rankings-which-could-put-users-at-risk-of-attack

What you need to know:

- GitHub faces a significant issue with fake star ratings, with approximately 4.5 million fake stars identified across nearly 23,000 repositories

- Stars on GitHub function similarly to social media likes and influence a repository's visibility and ranking on the platform

- GitHub's repository rankings and recommendations are heavily dependent on the number of stars a repository receives

- Malicious actors create automated accounts to artificially inflate star counts on suspicious repositories to spread malware

- A collaborative study by Carnegie Mellon University, Socket Inc, and North Carolina State University uncovered this widespread problem

- The researchers identified 1.32 million accounts responsible for creating fake stars, demonstrating the scale of the issue

- GitHub has recognized the problem and is taking measures to combat fraudulent users and repositories

- The platform is described as central to modern open-source software development, making this security issue particularly concerning

- Users are now advised to look beyond star counts and consider factors such as repository activity, authenticity, and code quality

- The problem has shown an increasing trend throughout 2024, indicating a growing threat to the platform's integrity

Check out #Reticulum 's NomadNet. It's a complete terminal based client

Yggdrasil is great, for IP-based commms and routing.

Reticulum as a further routing layer for different types of low power networks (but even high bandwidth ones would do well)

#Reticulum has enormous potential to combine industrial data and financial markets in a totally novel + self-sovereign way.

Currently doing the Khan academy course on Linear Algebra because I have noticed that I have some serious holes in my math knowledge.

Never thought I would actually like math. I have to thank Cryptography for making it interesting

Well was going to use some cash that I got from Christmas to put towards a 3d printer. I didn't and instead I just added to my stack.

I reached a point a while ago where instead of buying something I would like to have to just trying to add to my stack.

I don't have time for the printer right now anyways so......here we are

The worst thing about modern AI isn't that it's ruining the web, search results, books, online product reviews, news, and so on.

It's that it sucks all the air out of the room.

Even if you're working on some other tech, the comments are polluted with questions about how AI will be leveraged. When you explain that it won't, the next question is how AI might affect what you're working on.

It's like a mind virus, infecting nearly everything & everyone.
