I seriously think this is the missing piece for those "computer in your house" startups. I worked a bit with one in the past and I really wish they figured out the how. Veilid with a web browser frontend seems great. I guess provided the speed keeps up? I hope it's faster than tor or i2p. The mobile first approach is my fave part I think.

Socket Supply is another great contender. I wish it didn't need to have each app loaded as seperate native apps instead of instantly. It makes sense why tho

For real though I'm so pumped about #Veilid I can't shut up about it at work. I wanna set some time aside for running http services behind tunnels and to wire the front end to @agregore so I can make it easier for folks to self host services which they can access from anywhere

@dade It's actually so funny when I start hitting hardware limits because my little NAS is absolutely *straining* to make sense of it.

I am greatful to the QT/KDE and GTK ui duopoly for allowing me to run my apps without either shell. It feels so good to be rid kf the clutter taking up CPU and disk read times.

i think the only thing I need to figure out is Matrix as a systemd daemon I can connect with a TUI so I can have multiple windows open

I have been seeding so many "Linux ISOs" and "Big Buck Bunny.avi" (copyright friendly open source movie) that my regular internet speed has ground to a halt. I've got my up bandwidth *saturated* over here 😎

@thomasfuchs I would love to read the training data needed to make it do that.

Honestly my online socialization skills have gotten weaker since I started prioritizing my offline self more.

The thibg I like most about tbe fediverse is its like forums but less structured. At least that's how I use it. 😅

@darkrat OMG I have given up and just clear everything past a few months (media storage wise). It's a leaky engine and needs constant tape but it pretty much gets the job done

I know I upgraded recently but my computing power feels so low compared to what folks use these days. Honestly I could probably cope with 8GB RAM even but having even 32 feels like such luxurious excess. It does mean a lot of chromium based react apps can siphon more resources tho. 😝

For real even a few GBs of VRAM extra would make some stuff so much easier. I hate that LLMs make me want a beefier computer.

@erlend Yeah, I used to bring my cardboard around to conferences and show off my web based dev environment. These days I'm working towards using "steam deck" form factor computers with consumer head mounted displays like the Rokid Max and am working towards using @stardustxr for the spatial computing part

Also IoT! And NoSQL

One thing I find sad is that a lot if folms treated VR as just another tech fad and ditched it for crypto when that became the fad. Now a bunch of the same folks are following AI. Especially sad when fad chading meant ditching code and community for the next best thing only to abandon it again. It feels like the fad chasing means the fad in question doesn't get a fair chance to actually accomplish it's potential.
