@lutindiscret @adele Ooo! Yes would be great to connect on that. Also regarding p2p been meaning to add #veilid and #iroh to the mix.
@boris I was thinking of doing something closer to #Pidgin / #libpurple where there are existing data sources and you make them available behind a standard API and interface. I'm thinking socials, chat, events, wikis.
@boris Yeah defs not saying people shouldn't go the wasm route. More that I only see that direction and almost non of the other. I think the closest I see is Solid data pods but that still leaves much to be desired IMO (e.g. efficient querying, general DX).
A big caveat is the data should be queryable. I feel like GraphQL made some progress back in the day but there wasn't enough standardizing on UIs and reusing schemas. It ended up just being used by servers and single app specific UIs.
@hank Very relevant, ty :)
@danie10 Honestly I might make my own thing instead. Been toying with this app I wanna make that will combine all my information sources in one place and make then queryable in a coherent interface.
Low key miss the default mail and calendar apps that came with Windows 7. I think that was my peak in terms of email management.
wait. so physics is imperative, but magic is declarative? #xkcd https://xkcd.com/2904
@makeworld I should get a paywall detector into my AP client or skmething :P
I am blown away by the quality and comprehensive nature of the eXo projects--especially eXoDOS with its related books, magazines, and soundtracks. Why did it take me so long to pay attention to this resource?
Granted, it takes a commitment to download ~2TB of data but what a preservation accomplishment. With projects for DOS, Windows 3.x, edutainment titles, Scumm-based games, LucasArts-games, and the Apple IIGS, this project focuses on playability, and it delivers.
Oh no, I think I want a petabyte of storage at home 😵 Like I want to have multiple copies of wikipedia locally to perform various data transformations on, but I'm so limited by space. If abytbing I can let the conpute run for stuff like that over a week if needed but I just don't want to deal with doing this stuff in the cloud. I think I hate subacription services and just prefer upfront stuff I can have forever?
@codinghorror god I love this story.
In programming, it directly translates to “any sufficiently powerful model is inherently incomplete”. And boy howdy have I felt that.
But it’s also clarifying: you can save a helluva lot of time if you design for your model’s imperfections rather than demanding they not exist.
If you’re a fan of Gödel… hopefully you’ve read Gödel Escher Bach?
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
