@jonny Yeah... check out socketsupply if you haven't yet. Also the Berty chat folks have some mesh adjacent networking working on mobile which is neat.
@jonny FWIW the networking part has been open for ages. I personally don't even care about the client itself being opened. The thing that's frustrating is that they haven't published any open source stuff for how to get their stack working on mobile.
At least one project ran out of funding trying to figure it out on their own so it's one of those things where it's very obviously hurting the ecosystem and adoption of the core tech. 🤷
@jonny Yeah it's pretty cool. Sucks they haven't opened their source though.
@cblgh If you're interested in making one I'd be down to help out. In particular I think the DHT mutable PUT/GET API would be great to expose to web peers.
@cblgh Sadly not for the DHT. There's been stuff brought up on and off for years but nobody actually took the step to get it working.
However there are "hybrid" clients that talk to both the WebRTC trackers and the DHT so they can act as bridges if they have data loaded.
@hank *drool* That's a lot of storage.
@cblgh yup! But not in the browser.
Snake feeding
@queenslight Ha ha, you should have seen the first few weeks I had her before I got the gloves. 🤪 Sadly this snake is elderly and wasn't socialized well for being held so she had a habit of trying to take my finger off. But it's really no big deal at all, they're small babies with little teeth that barely pierce the skin. 💜
Snake feeding
Lol! Just got my corn #snake out for feeding and it decided it didn't want to wait for its rat and chomped onto my gloved finger 🤣
She tried wrapping around my whole forearm whuch is pretty ambitious for her size. Had to do some gentle wrastling to untangle myself.
@trevorflowers Yeah I think ultimately of I can give people a bit more power over their computers it'd be enough. i'll try workshopping some ideas with the librarians.
Hello #CoSocialCa!

* Follow #CoSocialHour
* Co-op Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be this fall; members will vote for a board and discuss major issues
@trevorflowers I suppose. But it still feels off for me because it still depends on servers and hosting and an always-on internet connection. I suppose it's better than nothing.
Yikes, seems like #WebTorrent is having trouble reaching the Mainline #DHT today or something. :/
Not ideal when trying to run tests! Might be a good reason to set up some more bootstrap nodes.
Having a rough one focus-wise today.
Listening to #DeathGrips and fixing up #BitTorrent integration with #DistributedPress
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
