Meet the New Authoritarian Masters of the Internet

We can do peer-to-peer BBS style right now without modems.

It’s called FreeRepublic.

FR is hosted on a friendly server by a friendly guy. There are contingency plans left and right for it’s continued operation.

There are people here who are on Shortwave who can gladly relay bits and pieces here and there.

about 98% of the world calls Facebook “The internet”. They have lost focus on what the internet is: A large network. That’s it. It’s all routing and endpoints.

When the Chinese “take over” the internet as they are doing, they are actually blocking the content that most people consider “The internet”. But go to a CLI and start building routes, sending messages and browsing folders.

We need to get out and start shaking more hands.

Patriot groups throughout your area, meeting at secret clubs, cafes and meeting houses.

The French revolution didn’t have distance communication, and neither did our own revolution. This one does but to rely on it may be to usher in it’s own death.

We need to meet each other face to face and develop real plans to fight back.

The problem is when certain words, etc. are also blocked at the routers that everything goes through, and then you have a game of encryption etc. There are global chokepoints for all of this stuff. Eventually a non-TCP/IP parallel solution may have to be brought into existence. Packet radio can be effective, but that certainly limits your audience. The overhead of all this stuff also threatens to limit the future communications to text only with maybe some low-res graphics. There are lots of not necessarily conservative smart people out there who want to keep the communication flowing, so we will see what happens.

aren’t the IP addresses based on hexadecimal (i.e, each octet between 001 and 255)? So say we built something were the first octet was say 333, and the browser ones to go elsewhere, wouldn’t that serve as a bypass?

Just my $.02.

Because we are running out of IP addresses the whole net is transitioning to IPV6 which uses 128 bit addresses vs the 32 bit address space of IPV6.

Your proposal would fall out of the 32 bit space into the IPV6 space. Probably not what you envisioned. For a more detailed explanation see What is The Difference Between IPv6 and IPv4?

[Mycroft Holmes]

Whoops!

s/b “vs the 32 bit address space of IPV4.”

There will be an effort to have the USA partner up in regards to internet, that once Mr. Trump gets elected, it will get resolved.
