A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.
It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."
also portable and accessible to all platforms, everywhere.
Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @… our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!
So, whether or not this is timely, I don't know, but should you need to suddenly rebuild some semblance of civilization from scratch…

Ruby Central has objectively acted badly, on purpose.
And so many Rubyists are rushing to defend them.
Maybe because they don’t want it to be true?
The gist is Ruby Central isn’t trustworthy anymore and we have to accept this and move on from them. Maybe with new package manager and distribution; which can be moved into a non-profit or whatever later.

Yet another #sigh. Everything I have read suggests these community based efforts are effective at reducing shootings. And police programs that work are rooted in partnership with community groups. But maybe the #millervought administration knows that and has other motives?

By the way, we’ve never managed to get any hashes or urls from the so-called non-profit organisations that claim to share CSAM material hashes or links for detection. We’ve come to assume we’ll never receive any, so supporting actual detection was out of reach for us.
So we decided to build it ourselves. We now provide a public onion lookup service where you can look up Tor onion addresses to check whether they’re linked to CSAM for filtering and detection.
Lookup example (non CS…

onion-lookup is a service for checking the existence of Tor hidden services and retrieving their associated metadata. onion-lookup relies on an private AIL instance to obtain the metadata.
