Beep boop time to wire up some codes.
Today in "Mauve Remembers How To Golang":
- Set up an IPLD blockstore (or whatever they call it)
- Wire up an ndjson parser which parses dag-json
- Wire up the IPLD Blockstore to a ProllyTree blockstore
- Sketch up indexing data into the tree

@thegibson Why wait until August to say anything about how it works? There's dozens of projects in this space already.

Twitter is falling apart. Reddit is falling apart. Facebook fell apart ages ago. Meta is a trashfire. Instagram is baloney. Google can't even search for anything you want anymore.
You know what website still miraculously works?
Wikipedia.
You should donate to keep it that way.
The life of a technomancer can be stressful sometimes but I do so enjoy mancing that tech!
Like, dang. Being a domain expert and having my expertise prove to be useful is pretty satisfying.

i made a MASTODON AWESOME MODE userstyle!!!
it makes the background and text cycle the colors of the rainbow slowly, as well as turning everything into comic sans!!!
userstyles are custom CSS thingies you can use with a browser extension like stylus to override the default appearance of a webpage with something prettier
be sure to point it at the URL of your instance in the settings after installing it!!!
Luckily I can bend computers to my will by sticking my hand into their brain and rummaging around to route around problems.
Tomorrow me can figure out a more permanent solution.
Yay! Love it when data gets corrupted on prod just as I was about to go offline. :)
@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.
Can a hypergraph of all graphs contain itself?
@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.
@alex@social.giurgiu.io Yeah, I've got a two drive one so far. Might as well splurge a bit and get the big boi. 🤔 Honestly even a couple hundred TB would probably get me far enough.
@cblgh yup! But not in the browser.
Shit, gotta start hoarding data in preparation of the web collapsing. Anyone got recommendations for a box I can just put in my home to reliably store a petabyte or two of data? 🤪
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.
