Date: May 06, 2019 “FinalCrypt is a Java-based application that takes a different approach, encrypting your data using a large cipher file, making it pretty much impossible to crack without access to that particular file. It features a simple UI and is quite easy to use.” Haven’t actually tried this yet. |

IPFS: A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more open…

“HTTP is inefficient and expensive HTTP downloads a file from a single computer at a time, instead of getting pieces from multiple computers simultaneously. With video delivery, a P2P approach could save 60% in bandwidth costs. IPFS makes it possible to distribute high volumes of data with high efficiency. And zero duplication means savings in storage. Humanity’s history is deleted daily The average lifespan of a web page is 100 days. Remember GeoCities? The web doesn’t anymore. It’s not good enough for the primary medium of our era to be so fragile. IPFS keeps every version of your files and makes it simple to set up resilient networks for mirroring of data. The web’s centralization limits opportunity The Internet has been one of the great equalizers in human history and a real accelerator of innovation. But the increasing consolidation of control is a threat to that. IPFS remains true to the original vision of the open and flat web, but delivers the technology which makes that vision a reality. Our apps are addicted to the backbone Developing world. Offline. Natural disasters. Intermittent connections. All trivial compared to interplanetary networking. The networks we’re using are so 20th Century. We can do better. IPFS powers the creation of diversely resilient networks which enable persistent availability with or without Internet backbone connectivity. IPFS aims to replace HTTP and I’d be lying if I said I was clear, as to what this is all about…but, I stumbled across a few web pages, while searching for an old website online…and they were hosted on this service. Thought I’d share it, to see if anyone has anything to say about this. Apparently, this is peer to peer content hosting? |

Date: March 13, 2019 “calibre is a powerful and easy to use e-book manager. Users say it’s outstanding and a must-have. It’ll allow you to do nearly everything and it takes things a step beyond normal e-book software. It’s also completely free and open source and great for both casual users and computer experts.” I finally just got the most recent version of Calibre installed on this PC… …I’ll be totally up front…It’s been years since I used this software…and that was a much earlier version…It did work well, for transferring e-books into different file formats [including PDF]…but, I’ve not tried much of anything with this latest version. I’m out of the loop…so, I cannot offer any real advice on using this software…I still wanted to share the link. |

“Dissenter is the comment section of the Internet. Install the extension and comment on any URL while also discovering what others have commented across the web. For the full experience and more features visit Dissenter.com.”
This extension works with Chrome, Brave, Opera, Chromium, Firefox, Edge, and Safari…possibly others. 01) Open up an account at Gab.ai 02) If you don’t already have it, download and install Google Chrome. 03) Install the Google Chrome Dissenter extension. Once you have it running, you can click on your profile icon, click on the “download” option, and find the download links for the other browsers…with instructions for installation. The new icon that is added to your web browser. What opens, when you click on it. Browsers you can download for. I cant and wont tell you, that you should use this for MAP issues…I’m not sure of all the possible hazards… …But I will say…the potential for completely unleashed free speech, is possibly in the realm of what this extension offers… Is this the Web 3.0 technology, that a certain someone was alluding to in the past? |
