  4. Re:User generated content belongs to the user... by paxcoder · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Why Online Privacy Is Broken

    Yeah, you just have to know where to connect. Similarly with searching: You have to know whom to ask, so you ask the one who'll know whom to ask and that's the server.

    However, I don't think the original poster isn't talking about random file sharing - such as BitTorrent. He is perhaps talking about decentralized (social) networks with peers/users/friends having their own servers (see SheevaPlug), and controlling both data and software on it (see http://ur1.ca/lch5 and http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Group:GNU_Social/Project_Comparison - the right part of this page).

  5. Why not release the link database? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on URL Shorteners Get Some Backup

    Firstly, tr.im is still working, and even better, it's now open source (on github). Secondly, although this backup stuff sounds good, there's probably a much easier solution: put your link database online and release it under a free license. That's exactly what ur1.ca did (and this one is open source too).

    rot & reliability loss (tr.im claims they will be forever open and totally not sell domain to highest bidder and whatnot, but domain is still weakest link - it goes broken and tons of links get broken too)
    A solution: put your entire link database online under a free use license. ur1.ca does it.
