One reason I want to create an @agregore OS based on Chrome OS is that there's loads of #ChromeBook e-waste that could be repurposed into #p2p #meshnetwork nodes.

They're probably cheaper to get a hold of than other computers since there's so many being flooded as schools buy and get rid of them.

Adding p2p mesh stuff and de-googling them somewhat would be useful to bring utility to folks with less means or in situations where always-on internet just isn't viable.

Really cool video by @b5@octodon.social looking at optimizations over #kademlia #dht algos by taking latency into account when searching for data. Seems like it would be very useful for #p2p and #localfirst protocols.

@ninabreznik Honestly I think I'm doing more work that should be possible for me. 😱 So trying to take as many breaks as I can

@ninabreznik mostly p2p publishing stuff with hypha coop, a bunch of p2p db stuff with IPLD, soon some ipfs stuff with webrecorder again. And some other stuff on the go related to agregore and other p2p things

@indutny whoa. Your toot really didn't prepare me for the whiplash on that code of ethics

@ninabreznik same old, just here in Ontario. 🤪

I love all my european colleages but god damn is it painful to have to get up two hours early to attend meetings 😭😭

@bennlich I have a big infodump of all my thoughts on it here: https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/peer-to-peer-databases

@bennlich It's like a database index, but the database is your timeline served on the p2p network.

Right now ActivityPub has "OrderedCollections" which get downloaded fully by servers into their database (e.g. postgres), and that database has indexes that make it fast so search through to see just what you need.

With p2p indexes over people's timelines/outboxes/etc you can search the data with (closer to) the same efficiency as if it was a local database, but p2p and over the network.

God I don't want to work today. I just want to be cozy in bed and listening to a spooky podcast or something.

Sadly I need to instead do end to end testing of distributed publishing workflows and make sure it's all working by Thursday. 😓

@cuaxolotl @garbados I think a pivotal point in me understanding systemic injustice and how tech+science can be blind to it was reading Seeing Like A State. It's a really good read IMO. #books #theory

We'll know the #fediverse has finally made it to the mainstream when we start seeing screenshots of posts on people's Instagram reels.

It's amazing that database queries work at all given how groady some of the join pyramids people use are.

#SQL is powerful as hell but the evil magic that goes into making it possible is pretty intense.
