MinusBrowser 2.43.1 is Published

MinusBrowser is a browser for the Minus, Gopher, and DICT protocols, with limited support for HTTPS.

MinusBrowser is written for Linux-based operating systems. GPLv3.

  • MinusBrowser will now handle videos on media.ccc.de/v/ (Chaos Computer Club) as well as videos on YouTube, YewTube, Framatube, and Undernet.
  • The built-in Minus server no longer reports that a file is not in the library when it should report that the URL is bad. MinusBrowser will never allow bad URLs to be requested from the server, but there may be other software that will. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • MinusBrowser now correctly handles all file:// URLs that specify files that do not exist or that you do not have permission to read, and not just those in links. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • Fixed a mistake on the Home Page. The status display is to the left of the "Home Page" button, not the "Bookmark page" button. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • MinusBrowser now works around a problem with some symbolic links to directories in /usr. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • MinusBrowser can now list items in directories in /dev. This fixes a bug in previous versions.
  • MinusBrowser now correctly handles URI schemes with unexpected characters, including -. This fixes a bug in previous versions.

To update to this new version, if you already have MinusBrowser 2.1 or later, just follow the instructions on your browser’s home page. You will not need to use a web browser to update.

To get MinusBrowser if you do not already have it, download this file from Codeberg.

https://codeberg.org/giXzkGsc/Minus-Protocol/raw/branch/main/MinusBrowser.tar.gz

There is no need to install MinusBrowser. Just download the .tar.gz file to your home folder and unpack it with

tar -xzf MinusBrowser.tar.gz

or use your favorite GUI software to unpack it. If you have a version of MinusBrowser earlier than 2.1, unpack the .tar.gz file into the same directory as your present MinusBrowser folder.

To follow the progress of the Minus Protocol Project, click on #minus-protocol or look at https://nerdpol.ch/tags/minus-protocol

You can download MinusBrowser from a terminal window with this command. This will work only if Tor Browser is running because it borrows Tor Browser’s SOCKS5 proxy. (Both Tor Browser and MinusBrowser contain their own copy of Tor.)

curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 -O gopher://mvxpelpxu2f7kzotb2s2t6fkmggvrd7qdg2wjs6waiyf2nbhkawux4yd.onion:1990/9/MinusBrowser.tar.gz

This works because all Minus URLs can be translated into Gopher URLs.

minus://something.onion/gopher://something.onion:1990/9/

Meltwater from Greenland and the Arctic is weakening ocean circulation, bringing unforeseen changes

https://www.resilience.org/stories/2024-12-12/meltwater-from-greenland-and-the-arctic-is-weakening-ocean-circulation-speeding-up-warming-down-south/

Our (modeling) results show the Atlantic overturning circulation is likely to become a third weaker than it was 70 years ago at 2°C of global warming. This would bring big changes to the climate and ecosystems, including faster warming in the southern hemisphere, harsher winters in Europe, and weakening of the northern hemisphere’s tropical monsoons. Our simulations also show such changes are likely to occur much sooner than others had suspected.

Bernie Sanders: "A Mass Movement Can Beat Health CEO Greed"

https://jacobin.com/2024/12/sanders-movement-health-care-mangione

I do not agree with anybody who thinks that health care is not on the minds of the American people. I don’t agree with people who don’t think politically that this is a winning issue. Taking on the insurance and drug companies is exactly what working-class Americans want, whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent.

DENIED HEALTHCARE IS VIOLENCE
and DON'T BACK DOWN!!

Ocasio-Cortez Has A Blunt Message For Those 'Confused Or Shocked' By CEO Shooting

“This is not to say that an act of violence is justified but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” the New York congresswoman told CBS News’ Jaala Brown.

Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that Americans’ collective “pain” is being “concentrated” on the shooting, said people go homeless as a result of “the financial devastation of a diagnosis that doesn’t get addressed or the amount they’re going to have to cover with a surprise bill.”

“And when we kind of talk about how systems are violent in this country in this passive way, our privatized health care system is like that for a huge amount of Americans,” explained Ocasio-Cortez, who noted that she didn’t have health insurance until she was elected to Congress.

She later continued, “Health care in this country has gotten to such a depraved state that people are living with things they should never have to live with. And this is not to say and this is not to participate in that glorification but we need to understand that extreme levels of inequality in the United States yield high degrees of social instability.”
