The Asymptote magazine just published five poems by a prominent soviet underground poet Yan Satunovsky (1913—1982) from the upcoming book Prosthesis Factory (Publ. by World Poetry Books), translated to English by Ainsley Morse & Philip Redko.

I'm so delighted that Satunovsky's poetry is finally available for the world readership to know and love! < 3

After careful examination of all the various encryption algorithms, apps, alternative radio communications, mesh, and more... I have decided this is the best technical workaround for Fascist clampdown on free speech. #samizdat

Electric #samizdat seems easier to scale and share than the typewritten sort was.

Whenever someone tells you that preventing disinformation requires giving states total control over what people can say online, remember the role of samizdat in bringing down the Eastern Bloc dictatorships. Those governments also believed that giving themselves total control over what their citizens can publish was in everyone's best interests.

Trump’s war on knowledge requires re-inventing academic publishing as diamond open access

A year ago, Walled Culture wrote about a growing risk that we will lose access to the world’s knowledge, because of a failure by traditional academic publishers to place copies of the articles they publish in key backup archives. Although unacceptable, that oversight is more a matter of laziness and cost cutting on the part of publishers, rather than a result of outright animosity to the […]

Michael J. Blood & Samizdat:
🎵 14th Floor (There's A Fire)

#MichaelJBlood #Samizdat

https://mjblood.bandcamp.com/track/14th-floor

In February, #Marc #Andreessen described the #Chatham #House group chats to the podcaster #Lex #Fridman as “the equivalent of [Soviet era] #samizdat”
“The combination of encryption and disappearing messages really unleashed it,” he said. The chats, he wrote recently, helped produce our national “vibe shift.”
They have rarely been discussed in public, though you can catch the occasional mention in, for instance, a podcast debate between #Mark #Cuban and the Republican entrepreneur #Vivek #Ramaswamy, which started in a chat.

But they are made visible through a group consensus on social media.
Their effects have ranged from the mainstreaming of the monarchist pundit #Curtis #Yarvin to a particularly focused and developed dislike of the former Washington Post writer #Taylor #Lorenz.

They succeeded at avoiding leaks (until, to a modest extent, this article) in part because of Signal’s and WhatsApp’s #disappearing #message features,
and in part because the groups had formed out of a mix of fear and disdain for journalists they believed were “out to get us,” as one member put it.
“People during 2020 felt that there was a monoculture on social media, and if they didn’t agree with something, group chats became a safe space to debate that, share that, build consensus, feel that you’re not alone,”
said #Erik #Torenberg, an entrepreneur who was the first employee of the tech community hub Product Hunt.
As #Krishnan was setting up a set of tech group WhatsApp chats at a16z, #Torenberg independently founded a group of tech chats on WhatsApp and some more political Signal chats.

“They’re having all the private conversations because they weren’t allowed to have the public conversations,” Andreessen told Torenberg on a recent podcast,
after claiming in the name of secrecy that he’d never heard of such groups.
“If it wasn’t for the censorship all of these conversations would have happened in public, which would have been much better.”
Their creations took off:
“It might not seem like it, because of all the sh*t that people still post on X, but the internet has fragmented,”
the Substack author #Noah #Smith wrote after my inquiries for this story spilled into public Saturday.
“Group chats are now where everything important and interesting happens.”

@Ustinoff @awinkler @SLUBDresden

Die Deutsche Bücherei in Leipzig (1990 aufgegangen in der Deutschen Bibliothek, jetzt @DNB_Aktuelles) hat meines Wissens auch in der #DDR-Zeit Belegexemplare von allen Verlagen erhalten und müsste so ein ziemlich vollständiges Abbild der DDR-Literatur haben (vielleicht abgesehen von Untergrundliteratur/ #Samizdat).
Die #DNB müsste auch #GND-Nummern für die DDR-Autoren vergeben, deren Bücher keine ISBN erhalten haben. Wenn nicht, fände ich das so schlimm wie du.

If a school requires parental consent before #students can borrow #books on certain sexual topics from the #library, this is the next step: "If a student does receive parental consent, the policy requires the student to sign an agreement that they will not share the content with other students. If they do, they will be subject to disciplinary action."

The #fascists are trying to control the narrative and consensus reality. If they get power "Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."

Want to make sure that people in the future at least know that you existed, how you felt about it and perceived it?

Write your story down. Make a work of #HeirloomFiction to make sure that you can't be erased. Pass it onto people. Bury a copy. Put one in your attic.

(1/2) Naum Sagalovsky: "Sergei Dovlatov once suggested to me a completely ridiculous idea - to write an operetta based on Friedrich Engels' book "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State". I found the idea interesting and started writing texts — "Couplets of a Pithecanthropus", "Monkey Chorus", "Feudal Tango" etc".

#slavistic #literature #russian #soviet #emigre #ruslit #samizdat

Okay, so, #Samizdat.

I think I can use Subresource Integrity stuff (specifically, Request.integrity API) to off-load verifying sha-sums of content pulled using alternative transports to the browser:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/integrity

This is important, as using a JS library for verifying sha-sums would be resource-intensive to a point of simply not being an option for sites with a lot of resources.

This means content verification might be pretty easy to implement. Yay!

Okay, so, #Samizdat updates!

And I mean this also in the stuff-being-updated sense: #IPFS libs got updated. Tried updating #GunJS too, got told by devs that the whole 0.2020.x line is b0rked and unstable (why do you publish it as stable in npm then, *sigh*): https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/issues/62

Dived into implementing #IPNS+IPFS plugin:
https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/issues/2

Turns out in-browser IPNS is nowhere near ready. So implemented IPNS-via-gateway plugin (live on https://samizdat.is): https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/blob/master/plugins/gateway-ipns.js:

I am also more and more considering moving #Samizdat away from Gun. Gun is currently used to map from a well know address ( Gun user pubkey) to the content-adressed resources in IPFS. This can be done using #IPNS.

So far my experience with Gun has been bumpy. It seems a bit easier to use than IPNS, but with all the trouble I've had with it... not sure it's worth it.

I'll probably develop gun+ipfs plugin a tiny bit more, and then move focus to IPNS/IPFS. Added benefit: fewer dependencies.

I have taken a way-too-long sabbatical from working on #Samizdat, but finally getting back into it.

First step (making sure pipelines work again) was easier than expected: my #GunJS superpeer was down. All green:
https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/pipelines/43312

New documentation-related issues to work on:
https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/issues/54
https://0xacab.org/rysiek/samizdat/-/issues/53

And need to improve how the pipeline verifies stuff is available in IPFS, pretty sure the 504s there are because we get throttled by gateways:
