Peer-to-peer networks are the foundation of the decentralized web. Today we dive into what P2P networks are, how they differ from the popular client-server model, and the advantages of decentralized file sharing in P2P networks. https://fission.codes/blog/introduction-to-p2p-networks/ #p2p #dweb
@michaelgemar Yeah! Gonna be hanging out with folks at 1RG tonight :)
Hanging out in #Toronto this week. :)

I am floored and fascinated by the near-literary quality of many of the descriptions of images that people carefully craft when appending pictures to their posts on Mastodon. Some of them will reveal a detail that had escaped my attention. Others will help me understand a subtle joke I had missed. Others still are true poems. ALT are their own microblogging world that reveals itself as you hover on a picture. And I hover, and hover.
@makeworld I used to use this node module a lot: https://www.npmjs.com/package/husky
Just presented this today. Took an hour longer than planned but I think that's a good sign!

@brecht @juergen_hubert The most important thing to know about every feature is how to disable it
Secret (not really) sneak peek at some #p2p #database stuff I'm working on.

Also Code: https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer/tree/initial
Listening to some hardcore and writing slides on why verifiable indexed databases are good.

@jonny @evan Yeah big agree, especially on technical subjects if you can get search indexed afterwards for folks to discover in the future. Also love linking to past conversations when making plans on technical matters.
Kinda why I prefer discussing a lot of stuff on public github issues instead of more private discord channels.
One of the neat things about using content addressed data structures is that you can trust that a database query is valid by verifying the subset of a merkle tree related to your data instead of needing to trust a central database server that it isn't omitting or inventing data.
It also allows you to parallellize donwloads from larger peers and reduce the bottlenecks on central "full nodes".

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.
Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit

People working in tech need to be paying attention to what is happening with unions and strikes across America right now.
Take notes y’all.
Also kinda surprising that #golang doesn't have built in `set` types? I get that you can "use a map like a set" but it feels super janky and lacks any of the APIs one would hope a set to have. 😅

Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.
@coop Would y'all be into working together to get more fediverse tech into the Canadian government?
@computersandblues We're currently coding it up. Aiming to have it ready by September :) I should have smaller milestones before then that folks can try out though. I'll be using the #DistributedPress tag for updates.
@martinsstar good to know. I'll try some benchmarking and profiling. :)
