@staltz May I ask how this work got funded? this is such a useful tool for the node community to have available
@jonny Mind libking me tk the guts of how it structures data (what does discord see, what does the wiki see)? Having a bit of trouble navigating the code.
@staltz yrah and tbey sypport ethernet over the connection tk auto cobfigure devices into the network. V good boilerplate for smart homes imo (with p2p networking and service discovery of course)
@jonny That is very good to hear! I am a major fan of wikis. I prefer more losely structured docs witb a big central index usually. Tho honestly usually the only "index" is sort by recently viewed and show title
@jonny It'd be cool if we could make wikis as hip and as useful to use as discord. Unclear how "typical" individuals feel about that mode of interaction
@indutny if you end up using it in gpt4all I suggest tuning the parameters base on the demo of the model on the official source. Default gpt4all is too "noisy" so you'll get worse results (more likely to pick tokens it doesn't think are as likely) for code at least. Dunno if that's somehow better for speech.
The real truth is I can schrdule more time for art in my free time instead of tv or something. Just gotta get around the hand pain 😅😅😅
AI (fancy matrix math) tools for cellular automata are cool and also scary when you connect that with cybernetics (not scifi, academia)
Low key wish I could maintain my current quality of life using art instead of coding sometimes.
Every now and then I am reminded that I am anomalous in my interests.
@indutny kinda?the replit mosaiac ml model runs locally but youmight need to do some coding to make it do anything

@requiem Considering the nature of the bulk of my searching, I'm beginning to think I'd like a search engine that incorporated:
* 3rd party curated resources (i.e. like a library)
* 1st party curated resources (things I think are reputable)
* Federated search from trusted comrades.
* Last would be some sort of webcrawler. Maybe.
I know this goes against the grain of modern life, but the idea of instant answers seems to have poisoned our minds. We tolerate wrong answers as long as they're fast.

With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?
Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.
Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

Most screen readers say "link" before each link, so links don't need "link" in the link text. For images used as links, the alt text for a graphic doesn't need to say "link" or "link to," as screen readers could say "link graphic link to Products," which is redundant.

"Daily Driving Mobile Linux" posts are too overdone. What about a "Not Daily Driving Android" post?
- I did not get popup ads obscuring my apps.
- I did not have to restart Google Play Services
- I was able to remove the apps my OS came with.
- My phone did not overheat because it is too weak for built-in Google tracking.
- My phone did not get a virus from the official app sources.
- I didn't have Sudoku 2 preinstalled.
The only "BS" that "I" will tolerate is WiFi IBSS. 🤪
@hughsie IMO gateways in general are a bandaid and in some cases hold back p2p adoption with folks not bothering to actually run nodes. Ipns in particular was historically quite slow. With pubsub it's been a lot better
Come see me talk about #p2p! 🥳🥳
