Yeah, pretty much. Except this gets a lot more specific.

Running a constant arp poisoning attack on a whole network trying to mitm the dns server just to block ads is going to be unreliable as hell, and it’ll screw with more than just dns traffic.

But it would be a fun little project.

I miss my days of playing with Wireshark and aircrack-ng. Although, now I can just whip up the same thing with Python and raw sockets.

Pretty much. Any ad on that network, using normal DNS would be toast. No router or device configuration.

You have to set Pihole up. This would intercept all DNS traffic through a MiTM, and block ads.

Gotcha.

Also, I’m now wondering if it would be appropriate to have a network of distributed servers, each dedicated to a particular country. Would provide a lot more breathing room.

What country code uses INF?

I was hoping to demonstrate a particular city with that reference.

That’s because sites have stopped indexing their own info, because of Google.

Also, I’ve toyed with the idea of creating product categorization with a Dewey knock off. I’d be happy to catalog your site, if you did.

I just need to build out the system in a logical manner.

Wikipedia would be inf.ref.enc. Webster and Urban Dictionary? inf.ref.dic.

Standard library locations.

As far as the university goes, the system’s incomplete.

A library has books on several universities, but the book can only be in one place.

The site would have a very Google-esque feel. The listings would look similar.

That’s the plan. Moderators for categories.

Pretty much.

It also doesn’t catalog individual pages. It lists domains and their descriptions.

I’m considering 501c.

They issue updates constantly. And nobody will want to use a different DDS than their local library.

Wikipedia says their starting days were a garage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google), but point taken.

I’m currently using MongoDB.

Everybody’s gotta start somewhere. Google started in a garage.

I originally liked Dewey because it slid from one topic to the next. And, as you were transitioning, the fields just merged into one another. It wasn’t obvious that 2 particular subjects were separate. My original plan was to use this to allow the user to go from page to page to page, after they’d originally chosen a starting position, they’d scroll pages like library shelves. I haven’t found another system like that.

The Library of Congress system isn’t as intuitive as Dewey either :'(.

I won’t be using web crawlers. Probably will stick with the site admins choosing where they’re indexed via an index.json file (or similar name).

Because of the social expectation that Lemmy sets. The social expectation is that moderators have the option of defederating anyone on their users’ behalves. They shouldn’t have that right.

I understand that moderators exist across multiple jurisdictions, and their servers fall under multiple laws. So, while a moderator would be able to control his own server’s content under my system, his users would be able to login to other servers which he lacked control of. Granting mods control over local content, but not user interaction with the network.

Balancing expectation between user freedom and server ownership – the mod also being able to whitelist servers he’ll accept other users from.

Lemmy works by your posts propagating to other servers.

If you’re on server A, and I’m on server B, server B’s moderator can block all of server A. They can make it where I never see your content.
