    I live in a shared flat, because it is very cost effective. But I have been living here for a couple of years and theoretically the people that live here could have bought the flat together and just paid the bank so we would own it in a couple of years...

    I don't like how housing is used as an investment, to wait for prices to rise and sell or even worse - rent out very expensive and earn multiple times the money it would cost over decades. Do I have a better system? Yes and no. I like cooperative housing and it would be better if most housing was from a cooperative system, which is non-profit in nature, but we'd probably need some speculative houses for some purposes. Idk

    Also I just found someone's take on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmemes/comments/dkh6jx/luke_smith_starter_pack/) about luke smith that I pretty much agree with:

    Dude is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Arizona. Sloppy understanding of syntax, riddled with confusions about what's top-down and what's bottom-up, rambles incoherently, thinks he understands more about syntax and computation than legendary figures like Bever, Piatelli-Palmarini et al., and having to listen to his incoherent ramblings about "syntax" is more of a pain in the ass than having to listen to a creationist about evolution. His political understanding is not that much better. Paranoid for the most part, and not for the right reasons. Mostly libertarian apologies for capitalism, and every once in a while ranting about "corporations" without making it clear what he means by that term. He is like an even weirder version of Ayn Rand. I have been told by multiple high-profile professors not to bother responding to him in conferences, although it is certainly hard to ignore him as he keeps interrupting you when you are trying to present a paper. I'm just glad I don't share a department with him...

    https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/videos/watch/bd0ebff8-245c-4092-a1fa-b604086a460e

    I mean in the description of this video he writes "Please support my Peertube instance by donating! (((YouTube))) pays, but Peertube will have to survive on donations, but it will be worth it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_parentheses

    I don't believe his play with alt-right memes is just play, I believe that he very cautiously uses the memes to signal his positions while he is at the same time actively avoiding to say anything political. I believe that him using triple parentheses here was a mistake where he actually showed his face, because he doesn't use many dog whistles apart from right-wing memes which arguably aren't clear dog whistles.

    I agree in principal, but in our society TODAY the government is the only entity responsible for many things that would have to be solved otherwise and as a quick fix in a crisis I believe that forcing people to wear a mask in certain situations to stop the spreading of a virus that's on the cusp of halting our economy and taking every imaginable freedom from us is a-okay.

    That was just 1 sentence.

    Hmm looks interesting, they even got that one libre artist from that filesharing video, but I don't understand their matching concept. The more people give to a project the more money each of those people gives?! How does make sense and how does this work to sustain stuff long term... Idk I am not convinced at all but obv wish them luck.

    I think that their economic growth and fight with poverty is impressive, but it comes at many costs that I am not sure a proper democratic country (more than one party etc pp) would have taken.

    Other than the elimination of poverty I don't think that the CCP is socialist at all, but I don't know much about them I only ever hear about china.

    To me socialism embodies not only solidarity, freedom from capitalistic oppression etc but also many freedoms and I don't think that china does very well on that front - not even being a democracy.

    In my mind a state that's not a democracy can't be called socialist and honestly it will never be socialist because socialism can't be dictated by a benevolent dictator it has to be understood and fought for by its citizens.

    overview on DNS and addressing alternatives for personal use

    Sorry this is mostly just my opinion and I may lack understanding here and there. PLEASE correct me if I am wrong or add additional info, maybe I forgot or don't know about similar programs! **IPFS** is probably the most known, it does content addressing. [ipfs website](https://ipfs.io) It's kinda nice, but it's geared towards people who are building applications and people who manage/serve large amounts of data. As your typical user you can't do much with it but serve files with it, but it doesn't really help with hosting from home etc. Also you typical programs you want to run don't have IPFS integrated so they can't make use of it. **Yggdrasil network** is a p2p network based on generated IPV6 addresses. [yggdrasil website](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/) You start it on two machines, they both get an IPV6 address which enables them to find each other in the network and have encrypted connections. **OpenNIC** is pretty cool and basically just a DNS service with some new tlds. [OpenNIC website](https://www.opennic.org/) It's cool, but you still have to change DNS on all your systems while still relying on a central authority to manage top level domains. **KadNode** introduces a .p2p tld and resolves it through bittorrent p2p. [KadNode on github](https://github.com/mwarning/KadNode) Unfortunately that's all it does, you can't get a specific domain but instead the address is <public-hex-key>.p2p. as another user mentioned [in a previous post of mine](https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/35474): **GNUnet** has GNS (alternative DNS), filesharing and their routing protocol CADET. [GNUnet website](https://gnunet.org/en/) To address a machine in the network through GNS you have to make an identity which works as your DNS zone and that means that you can't reach other domains in the network without adding the zones of others via adding their public key. Please tell me that I forgot major ones because I don't particularly like this list, for selfhosting it's probably easiest to just use a free subdomain or something like that because the alternatives seem like a lot of work for not that much benefit.

    p2p DNS

    Is there something like a p2p decentralized DNS alternative where you can actually get domain names? Maybe it has .p2pdns tld and you can get mydomain.p2pdns and manage it and use it whereever this p2p dns is installed?
