Audio recordings in this would be useful, but the rest just kills the product.

At least archive.today actually works to bypass paywalls... and provides content quickly. archive.org is massive and cool but it usually doesn't contain snapshots from paid articles, it is also very very slow, US-controlled and the way you look for a snapshot and move the dates is painfully slow.
Yeah Microsoft for what's worth does play ball, you can open complaints and they'll actually read those and act fast. Google is a total pain to deal with, even if you're on some type of google partnership they'll not do much.
It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting.
I do save my settings for the various programs in a git repository...
If it need documentation means things are over the line when comes to complexity and I should scale down / simplify. :)
Complexity and over-engineering are a serious problem, I really try to keep it as simple as possible so I don't have to waste time managing it, dealing with updates and potential security issues. Simple code/infrastructure breaks less and has less potential insecure points.
Unless someone finds a way to advertise nodes that doesn't depend on the entry point then yes. Consider this example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1b2460bd5824170ab85757e35f81197199cce9d6/src/chainparams.cpp#L112 if someone takes down those domains it is game over for a new node until someone updates the code.
I get your point, those systems make it harder to take down things permanently but they aren't as resilient and perfect as people paint them to be - an it has nothing to do with being pedantic, it is just the reality of things.
My point was: if you still need some central point of contact what's the point in decentralized, you can still get fucked.
For instance the DHT systems you talk about, they're good but still require some centralized points. In a bittorrent network with DHT a new client cannot join without either a tracker or the knowledge of at least one member of the network to exchange peers with. Bitcoin still has some hardcoded DNS seeds in the core client... etc.
bittorrent decentralization
True bittorrent decentralization never happened.
There's no real / true decentralization. You're always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there's also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you've to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.
Here is what I don't get about Wine. Even in 2023 it seems to fail to handle basic Windows software written in 1996-1995 like the classic convert.exe (https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/). This program and others run flawless in ReactOS for instance, why not under Wine?
Another things I don't get include:
- Why is Wine is still stuck on that Windows 98 style GUI instead of a more modern thing;
- Flickering;
- How can ReactOS, that shares code with Wine, run everything way more smoothly?
For reference I'm using Debian 12, Wine 8.0. Also tried with Soda 7.0, same results.

Sure we would also all be under water by 2005 or something.
Look, I do believe there's some damage to the environment made by human activity, however these guys lost all their credibility after all the shit that Al Gore said for years and years that fortunately never happened. Anyways, did you notice that the artic sea ice is peaking right now?...
