Who needs sex when you have peer to peer databases?

Ah you see, it's a `raw` block of data instead of a `file`. *That's* why it can't copy it. It's obviously to so meaningfully different that it should error out. Yup. Great. Gotta love computers. 🙃

When people hire me to do consulting for p2p, it's not because I'm particularly smart. The APIs are usually really hard to work with and I've just spent many hours at this point smashing my face on the keyboard trying to figure out why it's saying "example.txt is not a file" when it very clearly is.

Is anyone using their #SteamDeck as their main machine? I was thinking about it and I think it'd be useful to just have a doc for it and have it replace my Intel NUC.

Honestly, the #MeganeX #VR headset is super exciting to me. It's a shame that it likely won't be usable from Linux devices for a while to come.

Especially if #VR / #AR interfaces ever become a thing. It'd be easier to be able to move the "post new toot" screen somewhere different than then "view my timeline" screen in physical space.

I wish multi-window applications were a thing again, particularly with web apps. Instead of cramming all the UI on a single screen I'd love to have floating bits that I could dock among all my other windows.

See, I'd do the shitposting account if the Mastodon web UI made it less annoying to switch accounts. :P

My friend mentioned that the Gideon Fhe Ninth series is related to #Homestuck and now I can't unsee it.

I'm reading Harrow the Ninth and they're literally in a similar scenario as Homestuck with ghosts and drama

BTW, if anyone is looking for a #gig to get @agregore published across some of the major platforms, I'd love to chat.

Ideally you'll have published an Electron app to either Windows/Mac OS/Ubuntu/AUR.

Boosts appreciated.

The hardest problem in computer science is getting any of your dependencies to compile cross platform. The second hardest is app distribution across said platforms. 😜

Jeeze. I wish there was a tool or service out there to publish apps to all the major #linux package managers. I really dread having to learn like six package manager systems and create scripts to convert my app to them in order for users to be able to load it. 😭

I wanna make a fedi server which leans heavily on #p2p on the server side. E.g. instead of duplicating media locally all the time, it can upload it to #IPFS and have a way to resolve the media URL to a p2p URL so that clients can load it from cache or the network. This would combine with the cache pruning of IPFS so that the instance's size is bounded and unused media gets purged as part of garbage collection.

Very thankful that people exist that can do maintenance on servers for reasonable prices.

I've been using etke.cc for all my #matrix stuff and they're great. It'd cost me many times more of my time to do the stuff they can get done.
