Plebbit is a fully peer-to-peer, decentralized alternative to Reddit Built on IPFS that doesn’t rely on centralized servers or federated instances like Lemmy or Mastodon. Instead of traditional infrastructure, .No single point of failure, no global mods with ultimate control, no admin backdoors.

In theory, this should mean true censorship resistance and user ownership of content. Communities (subplebbs) are moderated locally with cryptographic keys, and moderation actions are transparent and accountable. It’s a different model than just “federated social media” this is more like BitTorrent for discussion forums.

Do you think a system like this can scale in practice?

Can it maintain quality discussions without centralized moderation?

Will regular users adopt something this technical?

Is it really more decentralized than alternatives, or just differently centralized?

Hi all, I'm planning to do a clean install of Linux Mint on my laptop and completely remove Windows. I have about 300GB of personal data on the system and only one SSD, so everything is currently stored on that single drive.

Here’s what I want to do:

1. Back up all my data safely, without losing any metadata (timestamps, folder structure, etc.).
2. Wipe Windows and do a clean install of Linux Mint.
3. Restore my data with everything intact—timestamps, folder structure, and metadata.
4. Be able to open or run file types that are only supported by Windows, like certain .exe, .msi, or specific file types.

I don’t have a second internal drive, so I’ll probably use an external hard drive or cloud storage.

What i want to know is:

1.What’s the best way to back up and restore my data safely while preserving all metadata?

2.What tools or methods should I use for backup and restore?

3.How can I access or use files that are only supported by Windows once I’ve switched to Linux? Are there workarounds or compatibility layers?

I’m fairly new to Linux, so beginner-friendly advice would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

Among SwiftUI’s many APIs, .ignoredByLayout() is something of an “understated member.” Information is scarce, usage scenarios are uncommon, and its very name tends to raise questions. It seems to suggest some kind of “ignoring” of the layout—but how does that differ from modifiers like offset or scaleEffect, which by default don’t affect their parent’s layout? When does ignoredByLayout actually come into play, and what exactly does it “ignore” or “hide”? In this article, we’ll lift the veil on this subtle API in SwiftUI’s layout mechanism.

• The new class of vulnerabilities in Intel processors arises from speculative technologies that anticipate individual computing steps.
• Openings enable gradual reading of entire privilege memory contents of shared processor (CPU).
• All Intel processors from the last 6 years are affected, from PCs to servers in data centres.
