Jeeze, 3d/vr game programming is pretty involved :x

I still think it's simple! It's the world that's wrong. 😝

"This wouldn't have happened on Linux" I say smugly, as I copy and paste a command from a 2008 forum post, three hours into trying to get my fucking WiFi working on Arch.
[/sarcasm]
Apparently the thing I thought was simple was actually very complex 🙃
@zicklag @smallcircles @silverpill If you want stability in serialization you may be interested at looking at IPLD and soecifically the dag-cbor codec.

The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice. The satellites that are still left, their orbits slowly decaying over millennia, dutifully relay the message. The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.
Somewhere in what used to be called Ohio, a pack of roombas, their local wind turbines giving out and creaking to a halt, begin searching for the next functional docking station. A washing machine in Argentina tweets: "anyone need to do a load 😏" every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time. The replies are filled with AI thirstposters and their hypebots.
In North America, raccoons have quietly entered the bronze age, while baboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia. Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion. A weather balloon bobs and sways in the upper atmosphere, now almost entirely clear of lingering chloroflourocarbons, reporting conditions to weather stations long since destroyed in World War Five.
The Crab Nation are mostly hermits, but come out to greet their prophet every ten years on the 6th full moon of the year. A lone, curious octopus decides to observe this year's event, peering out at the festivities from her safe haven - the submerged, rusting hulk of an ancient Cybertruck. Then he appears: the hologram of Shia Lebouf powered by MetaAI. He beckons the octopus to follow. The crabs all start chittering excitedly. The time has come to invade Amazon HQ. The crows gather in huge numbers. They need more storage space for their Steam collections.

One thing cyberpunk missed is that we don’t jack-in or log-on , the internet has become a sea which we swim in and no longer see until us-east-1 falls over
I think we need a new way to make networking a deliberate act

Does your work involve storing digital art objects or other digital cultural media?
If so, we invite you to complete a 5-10 minute survey about your digital storage needs, practices, and perceptions of new technology solutions.
Your insights will aid us in prototyping a distributed storage system dedicated to preserving digital assets long-term.
Complete the survey by August 5, 2024.
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles Cool, I'd love a link to the repo once you have it up. Our tools at DP are protocol agnostic and we're publishing across whatever we can so this could be a nice addition some day.
Do you have a target audience for your new network?
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles Making new protocols is fun but it ends up making smaller and smaller fragments. Fewer people will wanf to adopt a thing that has no users and no apps. Building from an existing standard meand you can bring users and content to the thing that's unique about your approach faster. A lot of these new protocols are less unique than they want to think. This is coming from implementing many of them over the years.
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles I wouldn't use iroh for your case. Their mutability is under iroh docs and is currently in flux. Earthstar's implementation of willow would be closer to your goals since it permits more conplex operations over the keyspace. If you aren't satisfied with AP, Noster seems closer to your constraints. I am doing p2p acrivitypub clients in @distributed for example.
Cryptography is cool and if you are using proveb algos it's actually pretty easy to use
Omg I want a modern remake of Sonic Adventure 2 so bad 😭 They could do something like Spyro and Crash but for the gamecube sonic games or something.
