@aral The number of people who have the money, time, and expertise to run servers prohibits this from ever reaching critical mass. Check out what’s happening recently in P2P, we just shipped https://sockets.sh, that’s step one. This month we’re open sourcing the P2P libraries that make it possible for users to communicate without servers, even if people are offline. No servers == no landlords.

@aral servers are and always will be landlord-tenant oriented, this is antithetical to a free and open internet. I don’t object to commercial ventures but the fundamental stack must be absolutely free and open. No black boxes. No gate keeping. No rent extraction.We designed a packet relay algorithm that was originally intended for partition tolerance, however its design also makes it suitable for *significant* partitions (hundreds of hours at the moment)

@aral correct, it’s highly nuanced but we have a huge FAQ on the way that includes a lot of maths and models. Even as a (relatively) small network it works nicely already. My whole team can be offline and we still send chats and files reliably. E2E FTW 🙌

I found this circulating. I suspect this was created by @Quinnypig -- but whoever it was absolutely nailed it.

What's the only thing better than free-tier?
Free forever! That's what you get with Peer To Peer. #P2P. :nocloud:

@happyborg Safe’s P2P lib doesn’t handle NAT traversal or network buffering, in fact it appears to only handle server-to-server connections (https://github.com/maidsafe/qp2p/tree/main/src) For the user, there seems to be a few SDKs in different languages, and it appears to use Electron as the primary client. 1/2

@happyborg Socket is built from scratch to replace Electron, and ships a binary that is about 200% smaller. Socket is a 100% P2P network with comprehensive NAT traversal and optimized packet buffering. Socket is 100% “web tech”, so all you need to know is HTML, CSS, and JS to build secure, fully P2P apps for desktop and mobile. 2/2

I made this meme because it seems like a lot of developers are missing the point about #p2p. If your peer isn’t connect directly to another peer, it’s not p2p. If you need a server it’s more like p2s2p, which is also known simply as web development.

A lot of people think #p2p could be a security problem becuase “if stuff is on my computer; what if someone gets access to that stuff”. Now consider what happens today if someone gets access to your computer.

@changelog Socket runtime is also becoming a viable alternative to Electron and Tauri. https://github.com/socketsupply/socket

First of all, if you're not Italian, or can't speak it fluently, your opinion doesn't count. i don't care if you know how to put food in your mouth, or if you've been doing it since you were born, this argument isn't about merit.

if your side of the argument is FOR pineapple on pizza, ok, sure, whatever, just stay out of my way, i really don't care about what you think. im sure you also love tacos al pastor. this thread is none of your business.

if you're AGAINST pineapple on pizza, i'm going to need you to SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. having this opinion doesn't make you interesting. in fact, it makes people think you are a cry-baby. so unless your cook book has been translated into more than 15 languages, shut your pie hole and stop telling people your uninteresting food opinions.

When you're installing and building a large rust project, no mater how professional it is, you **will** almost certainly find a critical transient dependency maintained by an internet rando named "batman69" or "bearballz13"
