@daaain Could you elaborate now how the ReadableStream API applies to this context? Do you mean that folks should parse `fetch()` responses as a binary buffer stream and that that would be used for subscriptions along with a custom NDJSON based wire protocol instead of the EventSource API?

IMO EventSource give us more to work with, but I would agree that NDJSON with a series of Activities would be easy to implement.

@happyborg Maybe if we can figure out how to get SAFE protocol handlers into @agregore ? :ooo

People are always like "what are the financial incentives for #P2P protocols??" but I'm here seeding like 50 TB per month out of the goodness of my heart and my unlimited fibe internet.

All Linux ISOs and copies of Big Buck Bunny.mp4 of course. 😈

Defs gonna set up some sort of TOR and Veilid relays or whatever. Maybe also move my server hosting to be on prem in my living room?

@iatendril@snug.moe Also speaking of scope chain, the `with` statement still works and can help you perform true acts of evil with your code >:P

@evan Websockets means inventing more wire protocols and is much harder to implement. Server Sent Events are a simple text based standard and have a way to deliniate event types / reconnect logic / etc. Fitting an event stream of AP Activities is a small amount of spec work and implimentation compared to websockets. (cross language too) Also easy browser APIs!

@iatendril@snug.moe Yeah from what I understand the scope chain looks like globalThis => dom IDs => global `var`s => module level const/let => function/block scope const/let

@evan Ah but that is for servers to get data pushed to other accounts' server inboxes not for clients to pull updates from a server.

E.g. a client application would need extra apis specific to their sever to be able to get updates.

I'm into thick clients over implementation specific server APIs. 😅

Managed to haggle with my ISP to increase my speed by 500 mbps and also save me 25 bucks a month. 🥳

Still costs me way too much compared to other countries, but at least it's not coax anymore :P

@causalislands DNA 🥰

Giving myself cringe damage remembering how I'd do presentations in professional settings with anime girl backgrounds on my laptop backnin the day 💀💀💀💀💀

@iatendril@snug.moe I love using this for when I make small single file apps. :P The trickiest bit is to not mangle globals.

@thisismissem Interesting. Seems to be an order of magnitude more complex than what I had in mind, but it covers a lot more cases which is interesting.

@thisismissem Yup! I've done a lot of work with scaling EventSource, HTTP2, and push based stuff in general. :)

I'm thinking I'll eventually start working on something similar to SOLID pods but more client-side.

It'd be cool if one could open an EventSource on an OrderedCollection to subscribe for changes in a user's outbox, This could be used as a basis for real time chats and games.

Probably needs to be on top of HTTP2/3 to handle more subscriptions over a single connection.

Maybe even with a Triple Pattern Fragments querystring to filter by Activity type/author/cc/etc?

@ZachWeinersmith I think a lot of folks that comission artists will continue to do so. People that want free porn will just keep not paying for it. Often it's not that you can't find the thing you want out there but that you like a particular artists work and want to support them / see more stuff in their style. It's mostly the exploiters and low ballers that will turn to ai generation.
