@xil so you're speculating that ISPs would be forced to limit users by either government regulation or business relationships? -

@bob @bthall fair point, but I'm raising it as an example of the way proprietary dominance affects me, even as a committed free code user -

@xil where would the ports be blocked? -

BTW No offence meant to your Mum or her OS choice, I just chose that example because my Mum has a Windows PC which I end up maintaining :( -

Ergo, if your Mum is using Windows, she cares about convenience over security, and will therefore never learn to manually edit her registry -

If you care about a secure PC, you don't use Windows, you use a free code OS (eg Trisquel or Debian with non-free repos disabled) -

@xil #CCleaner is a much more efficient use of time. Manually editing a Windows registry is like watching paint dry -

@xil @rysiek theoretically this is a threat, but I've never come across an example in the wild. Good protocol design and exception-handling? -

@rysiek eg the Green party here have policy supporting "open source" in gov, and used to use #CiviCRM, but got sold #NationBuilder -

@rysiek @xil this doesn't stop people running normal servers, but severely limits how much they can be used. This is a self-hosting issue -

@rysiek @xil ISPs in my country either impose monthly data caps, or "reasonable" use conditions and "traffic-shaping" of various kinds -

@xil @rysiek no, #P2P is mesh network between apps running on the end user devices only. Federation is client-server though -

@rysiek the two are effectively inseparable. People's individual actions are constained or emancipated in all sorts of ways by what orgs do -

@rysiek just like lots more organisations started using #GNU-Linux on the desktop when #Ubuntu made it much easier to do -

@rysiek if there was an easy-to-use distro like #FreedomBone or #YUNOHost aimed at small-to-medium organisations, lots more would self-host -

@rysiek I work with lots of community organisations who grasp the ethics of software freedom, but can't afford commercial free code prices -

@rysiek I think what killed office self-hosting is a lack of #GNU-Linux trained office techs, and a plethora of "cloud" snakeoil salespeople -

@rysiek don't all these same issues apply to the scale difference between the #STACKS and #P2P? -

@rysiek I think it's because #PopcornTime requires obtaining extra software and getting it working. Watching streams just needs a browser
