@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 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.

i just let rip a new piece of writing:

a year-long observation on trends in the peer-to-peer space, namely the appearance of companies building platforms on top. outlined are a few of these platform companies, accompanied by questions regarding expected futures, as well as a small essay on the importance of community infrastructure

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.

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

i think in general i feel that software developers are not meaningful innovators, or rather, i do not trust them to come up with a reliable encoding for a system (reputation) that whole disciplines have studiously avoided encoding because of its fluidity and relativity. so when a dev says to me, "we don't need more mods, we just need TrustPoints (TM)" i get very skeptical

@ninabreznik @heapwolf @lutindiscret The main difference is that you'd need to run the js versions of most modules and replace hyperswarm with something socket-specific

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

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

@fleeky @cblgh @mntmn IIRC I saw folks using the power packs from drills to power their cyberdecks.

Yes I am in fact procrastinating on the fediverse instead of updating the budget / timeline of this grant. :P

Does have a spec for communities to expose their combined timeline?

I think that would be super cool to combine with indexing where you could follow entire instances by lazily querying data from their timline index on the fly instead of needing to load everything on your server first.

Playing really helped put the fedi into context for me.

They did a good job of giving the aesthetic of random trolls and blogs on the internet just kinda existing in their tiny communities.

It helps that they have a 90's/00's retro aesthetic, but it's pretty much just a more exaggerated version of what we have now.

@lutindiscret I think @heapwolf had the right take. GunDB has a data model and a replication protocol that's pretty useful for graphs and "subscribing to data", but it's networking layer could use some more love since it's mostly servers and WebRTC at the moment. Socket would be a good way to make it work over local networks and have a nice path for deploying the app to mobile/desktop.
