New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday
she will mobilize her followers to oppose what she described as an “acquiesce” by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to accept the House GOP funding bill.
“I think there is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal,”
Ocasio-Cortez told reporters in Leesburg, Virginia, where House Democrats are huddling for their annual policy retreat.
She said she and her fellow Democrats are mobilizing the Democratic base against Schumer’s plan to allow the GOP funding bill to advance.
“We have time to correct course on this decision.
Senate Democrats can vote no.
We can correct course,
and that is the most important thing in front of us right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

GitHub - Timshel/s3-dedup-proxy: An object store deduplication proxy
An object store deduplication proxy. Contribute to Timshel/s3-dedup-proxy development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
The main problem I have with these solutions is that when someone wants to move out of Masto.host I would have no simple way to provide them with a backup of the cached media files.
So, deduplication on the actual object storage filesystem would be much better.
There are other issues, but that is the main one :P
For example, if a media file gets cached and you want to delete it because it contains some illegal content or something you don't want to host. Then, you would need to go to the databases one by one and delete references to that file. It's probably impossible if you don't store the hash each proxied file generates or something like that.
More edge cases like that if I spend some time thinking about it.
this is a good point. I figure you would need an api endpoint to ban a hash?
then it should clean itself and stop future uploads.
Yes, something like that.
In the end, I am still not sure if server resources/costs (to deal with the proxy redirects) plus extra development and maintenance vs object storage resources/costs would be a net positive.
keep in mind you don't just want cryptographic hashes but also perceptual for moderation.
(I'm actually going to prototype something in the T&S side of this space soon)
(unless I am mistake) jortage/s3-proxy does that... you have separate api tokens per tenant.. and they upload a file and get back a unique path... and the file path is written into the DB with a hash to a file
The file is uploaded to the backend if it's the first upload, or deleted from the proxy on the second upload.
The jortage dev was talking about a "rivet protocol".. so mastodon instances could say.. do you have a file with this hash already? before it uploads otherwise it just asks for a reference URI to the known file... to save an upload
(I really need a day or so to make an official end to end spec for a fediverse storage protocol/solution... then somebody could code it for me 
)

I know it's probably not gonna happen for the time being, but I'd love to see links to loops for short-form video content!
Tiktok comes with a lot of baggage I'd love to avoid altogether, but I know loops is still really small for the time being
Thanks for being here on the fediverse ❤️
Many people of conscience have now lost faith in the international system and the principles of justice and equality, because of the “persistent disdain for the reports and recommendations of legitimate independent entities, as well as [states’] preference for political interests and considerations over moral and legal obligations.”
