@jae ah yes. i remember learning C with just that thin book of K&R, no network, just a BDS-C compiler on a Kaypro and lots and lots of time. lots.

@logical_map in your view, are things better or worse now? 🕵

@jae From what perspective? There are many worse things, but purely from "I'm coding interesting things", what we have standardized in modern web browsers as well as run-time engines (Deno, etc.), as well as standards like SVG, HTML, with MDN documentation, and other free tooling like rollup...Graphviz (speaking of Bell Labs)...GNU/Linux, the work that tbl did bringing this all together... that's awesome. Better, I'd say, but computers coupled with global trade accelerated biosphere destruction.

@logical_map sorry, should have narrowed the scope. comparing then to now. you're sitting at a desk with your computer, writing c (or whatever language applied then if not c). do you feel you can still get work done without all of the luxuries we have now? consider a collapse scenario where you have transient periods of no connectivity sometimes up to a week.

@pernia i always dream of driving two cars home from the dealership at once. think of how rollerskates work. same theory. now transfer that to digital and i've got a broken leg and a busted wheel.

@jae Yes. I'm in a better position to create truly useful tools than back then. At least, the tools *I* think are useful, like visualization of complex nested systems as we deal with the new normal after collapse events in our long tail downward. Pure text doesn't work well to visualize relationships. I'll run for a day developing with my machine completely offline sometimes, both to keep me focused, but to test my kit. I have Yari (MDN app) running locally. I'm further up the stack than DuskOS.

@logical_map likely context matters. it's tougher sustaining computing activities higher up the stack. the work and research i do is much lower so it lends to an easier switch to collapse scenario. i often unplug and see what's possible. it's driven me to design a new system that is ~98% offline and relies on async batching mechanisms to exchange data.

@jae My messages for map updates are small. Further, much like Nostr (I also use Schnorr), I sign each update, and assume public as it is intended for crisis response. I only sign for highwayman reasons (how we are resolving water/food/shelter is everybody's concern, but the map updates need integrity/author, even if it isn't DNA identity). All that to say I can bounce off of plain websocket relays; however, alternative transports (syslog, atproto,MQTT) work fine too. @delta also seems possible.

@logical_map @delta delta is possible if you have the rpc_server implementation running locally or wherever your system is. you can construct a bot/actor around it fairly easily.i really like your approach

@jae What/where is your system? My main push is the visualization. I figure transport is an extensibility deal, particularly with my requirements, so identifying possibilities is useful. I'm also identifying alternative ontologies like #Valueflows. In both cases, once the initial crisis is dealt with, it leaves the possibility that the model could be part of a more permanent cognitive exoskeleton (without the bit barns).

@logical_map my system is a small cluster of computers located in my lab area. i have multi-fiber upstreams, but they are almost never used for this system. there's a coordinator i built that continuously monitors upstream traffic conditions and when it sees a window of opportunity it takes queued transmissions and dispatches them up and out the gateways. this async approach doesn't work for things like fediverse, although i have some ideas about it. but for things i do it works fairly well. it's still in a poc phase (for over a year)if you want to talk shop sometime let me know, can send you deltachat link
