Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Alright. Time for my first vacation off work (for two weeks) since I started working full time. 🤪

No extra obligations, just relaxing and not focusing on productivity or commitments.

Page 37 of this PDF really spelled it out for me. :O

Each of the "stores" can be IPLD Prolly Trees and the connections can be via distributed compute pipelines. 😍

Even the query layer can be distributed across multiple workers in order to take advantage of locality and parallel processing.

Who needs earthly pleasures when you have distributed database engineering. 😎

Just learned more about how HTAP databases work and can't stop thinking about creating pipelines for auto-generating p2p search indexes over raw p2p data collections. 🤓

Cool thread from birdsite on how #IPLD fits into the #IPFS stack.

Wrote up my blog post on #p2p databases on top of #IPLD / #IPFS Prolly Trees. Hoping to switch up how databases are approached with a focus on performance and the ability to combine datasets determenistically.

@technobaboo Yeah, maybe once you have some of the foundations stabilized you'll have more time to look into what sort of stuff can be built on top of them. :o

Luckily the state of VR/AR hardware still sucks (especially with open platforms) so there's plenty of time to iterate before people can actually start depending on this stuff. :P

@technobaboo Yeah absolutely! I think your work on stardust is some of the most exciting in terms of VR environments. :o

I'm not sure if you've been attending the omi scripting group meetings, but that might be a good place to discuss standards with others so we can make objects more interoperable (assuming that's a shared value in the first place 🤪).

Might also find a way to get funding from Protocol Labs or something to work on loading interactive objects from IPFS via WASM or the such.

@andrew I think this means that the fediverse is in need of a "private groups" feature in general that's not just tied to instances and the instance moderators. E.g. a private group can span many instances and have cross-instance moderation for adding and removing members. 🤔

It would probably not be a mastodon feature but a new fedi-capable system.

@andrew but then only ottawans on your local instance can see it and ones that are on others (like myself) can't. Do I to choose your instances moderators and infra to engage in my phyaically local community? Multi account setups make this easier I suppose 🤔

I've got #p2p #vr spatial computing on the mind.

Had some chats today about what interaction with virtual objects would even look like. So far it's a big question mark.

Another is the interfaces that should be exposed to 3d objects to be able to make them interactable but which keep them sandboxed from wreaking havoc on the rest of your space.

@heapwolf Heck yeah. Sounds a bit like the Goblins thing @cwebber@octodon.social has been working on at Spritely. :o

Have you seen the Prolly Trees article yet for using content addressibility for building and searching B-Trees? https://0fps.net/2020/12/19/peer-to-peer-ordered-search-indexes/

I'm working on standardizing it over IPLD, but it might also be useful for SocketSupply apps down the line.
