Update 30 October

Work is continuing rapidly on several fronts, first and foremost investigating the cause of download failures reported by the community.

We've successfully implemented paymaster for uploads in Dave (GUI front end).

Plus, we’re making good progress with the Merkle tree transaction verification (a.k.a. gas fees minimisation) integration.

And there's a new video from Jim

On Oct 20, AWS went down and took 1,000+ services with it. One DNS error, one data center, millions affected.

The internet wasn't meant to be this centralized. You have alternatives.

🧵 The Big 7 media giants shaping what most of the world watches, streams, and reads

1. Comcast: NBC, Universal, Sky, Peacock — cable, broadband, and Hollywood rolled into one

2. Disney: Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, ABC — nostalgia and your kids’ favorite shows

3. Warner Bros.: Discovery, HBO, CNN, Max — drama, news, and nature docs

4. Paramount: CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon — big in broadcast and streaming

5. Sony: Movies, music, PlayStation — cross-cultural dominance

6. Netflix: Originals, algorithms, binge culture — the global studio in your pocket

7. Amazon: Prime Video, MGM, Twitch — retail entertainment meets surveillance capitalism

They own the pipelines and the stories.

What does #decentralization mean when 7 companies shape the global feed?

Can federated media offer real alternatives?

☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.

When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑

🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.

Resilience = decentralization

Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

@hiphopheaven We could all populate #Loops with a ton of great stuff...

You think #GenZ wants to see our content from Millenials, GenX and Boomers?

That's not a selling point, it makes it pretty cringe to them.

They also don't care what underlying tech it uses, just like all those who left for #Bluesky don't care about #decentralization.

No #Algorithm in loops & no advertising money = Something cool here, but little meaning elsewhere to most folks using social platforms.

I send you this toot for asking you to move out of mastodon.social, mastodon.social became too #big, and endanger the whole #decentralization of #mastodon, recreating a unique massive point of failure, and make it #unbannable if their #moderator go rogue.

please read the #information here on @FediTips and use the integrated mechanism to transfer your account on another server please.

#MatrixConf2025 is over, and we produced an avalanche of great talks available via https://media.ccc.de/c/matrix-conf-2025 for you to watch while recovering from 4 days of conference! 😁

But the talk of the day instead is @mcnesium's https://media.ccc.de/v/ds25-506-enter-the-matrix-oder-warum-signal-auch-doof-ist from #datenspuren25 #aws #signal #decentralization
