Wireguard is p2p.

EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

That’s rough. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.

Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.

I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo “price for life.”

The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.

Both Clinton and Reagan were economic neoliberals. It is neoliberal policy that has fucked us.

Maybe I just don’t think “country” == “government”, and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

India is pretty much a piece of shit country

All while being racist as hell

Cognitive dissonance much?

Agreed.

And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what’s happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.

Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.

What are you talking about? BlueSky has absolutely nothing to do with Facebook. It’s a different company using the open AT Protocol.

Technically it’s an open protocol. Whether or not any other implementations will surface remains to be seen.

There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn’t see in an intro algos course (which I’ve actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.

• bloom filter
• btree
• b+ tree
• consensus algos (PAXOS, RAFT, VSR, etc)
• error correction codes (Hamming, Reed Solomon, etc)
• garbage collection (mark+sweep, generational, etc)
• generational arena allocator
• lease (i.e. distributed lock)
• log-structured merge trees
• min-cost + max-flow
• request caching and coalescing
• reservoir sampling
• spatial partition (BVH, kd-tree, etc)
• trie
• write-ahead log

Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).

Sorry if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but how do we know that BlueSky isn’t padding their stats with internal bots? I could see this being a viable strategy to attract users and overcome the social network bootstrapping problem.

Stop using Brave, people.

Rate-limiting could also be applied at the federation level, but I’m less sure of what the implementation would look like. Requiring filters on a per-account basis might be resource intensive.

Why resort to an expensive decentralized mechanism when we already have a client-server model? We can just implement rate-limiting on the server.

Are sockets not files?
