  8. Mochi 0.3 is out. It's a federated platform for distributed apps: feeds, forums, projects, CRM, wikis, git hosting, and P2P chess/Go/word games. Anyone can run their own server. Anyone can create and publish apps.

    mochi-os.org

    0.3 brings full app sandboxing, a new Projects (kanban/ticket system) app, CRM app, git repository hosting, AI tagging and scoring for feeds and forums, and hundreds of smaller improvements.

  9. [Перевод] Разница между параллельными и распределёнными вычислениями

    Параллельные и распределённые вычисления часто ставят рядом, но это далеко не одно и то же. В новом переводе от команды Spring АйО разберем, как устроены обе модели, чем отличаются их архитектура, способы обмена данными, масштабируемость и отказоустойчивость. Статья подойдет тем, кто хочет понять, когда достаточно ресурсов одной машины, а когда без сети из нескольких узлов уже не обойтись.

  10. Offer an alternative Vision

    #ACID#BASE
    Cloud first → #LocalFirst
    Always online → #OfflineFirst
    Client/Server → #PeerToPeer
    Centralised → #Distributed
    Surveillance advertising → #Privacy & #Security
    Leaky → Minimal #Metadata

    And while you can make fair money making honest software, you're clearly not going to rake in the exuberant profits of rent seeking mass-spying data-mining middlemen

    But I know there is a valuable niche for tools like these made by humans for humans

  11. New docker release of #decentralized #p2p search engine YaCy arrived. yacy.net
    A better alternative to duckduckgo #searx .
    new images are now about 400MB instead of 1.3-2GB because of enhanced packaging. And they are multi-arch!
    With docker you can run YaCy simply with:
    docker run -d -p 8090:8090 yacy/yacy_search_server:latest

    P2P technologies and P2P search engines are more sustainable and fault-tolerant than centralized cloud or VPS-based systems because they distribute data and processing across many independent nodes rather than relying on a single or limited set of servers. This decentralization reduces energy consumption by leveraging existing resources on users' devices instead of massive data centers that require constant cooling and power. It also enhances fault tolerance, as the network remains operational even if multiple nodes fail, avoiding single points of failure common in centralized models. Furthermore, P2P search engines protect privacy by reducing reliance on centralized data collection. By democratically sharing load and data, P2P systems create resilient, scalable, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional centralized architectures.

    alternative classic search engines swisscows.com/en kagi.com frogfind.com
    alternative p2p tech to try that provide p2p distributed search capabilities : dc++ , gnutella2 , zeronet , holochain

    If you do self host YaCy, or maybe use fancy non bittorrent p2p & publish a video review on peertube - let me know.

    Please boost, re-toot, re-tweet this post across #fediverse this is important.

  12. 😴 Oh joy, another tech bro convinced they've reinvented the wheel 🛞, but this time with more buzzwords! Apparently, condescending lectures about "distributed systems" are the new hotness 📈, because why wouldn't you want to turn a simple file operation into a dissertation on ACID transactions? 🙄

  13. @drmorrisj consider doing your own debian blends like enc persistent bootable nvme - i mean you have to install most of the forensics tools yourself first - with the enc persistence that would be all set up for the user#forensics_full #chattr #federated enclaves #distributed inference #compintel/osint/BI #erp #crm #tagged metadata #pkt cap #audit trail #tcp_replay #rational clearcase #malcolm ids #kibana dashboards #monitoring

  14. I really like the concept of “speed back” high bandwidth full team peer feedback retro sesssions.

    Particularly for how it normalizes giving feedback to each other and makes it an expected part of the process.

  20. Another week with lots of action at the @jugch! Ronald Dehuysser will be presenting his talk “A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!” on 11.02. in Bern, on 12.02. in St. Gallen, and on 13.02. in Zurich. Come and visit us, guests are always welcome! Registration and further presentations on our website: jug.ch

  21. Question: what are the chances that #science #communication & #information systems will be impacted by the current administration? Can the #technology that #Bluesky is based off be used to create more #distributed versions of #Wikipedia, #Archive, etc? Can & how do we #decentralize #accademia?

  22. Why is it that #Ireland has such a problem with illicit production moreover mass distribution of #Gabapentinoid substances such as #Lyrica #pregabalin #gabapentin #neurotin

    #CIA #FBI - Is the plan to replace #fentanyl? Or something like that epidemic, from from a mind-control approach?

    drugsandalcohol.ie/29105/

    Why is there so much of it being produced and trafficed illegally?

    There's something very peculiiar and alarming about it to me.

    1.) "The truth is, as we know it:" It changes the way you think.
    2.) "The truth is, as we know it:" it causes #memoryloss and symptoms resembling #braindamage / #stroke
    3.) "The truth is, as we know it:" it causes #psychosis and #hallucinations

    The truth is, as we know it: pregabalin
    * makes a subject #pliable and
    * open to #suggestion in terms of
    * #interrogation

    Alarming? Why is it really allowed to be #distributed as it is?

  24. Interesting look at an algorithm used for distributed collaborative text editing.

    "Collaborative text editing algorithms allow several users to concurrently modify a text file, and automatically merge concurrent edits into a consistent state. [...] We introduce Eg-walker, a collaboration algorithm for text that avoids [...] weaknesses [of other algorithms]."

    My dream social media platform. What do you think, what are the most interesting ideas, what other features would you like to see, how would be your perfect social media platform?

  26. Today the #RC5-72 project at #distributed.net crossed 10% of the space. It's only taken those like me who donate spare CPU cycles 20 years, (7447 days) to get to this point.

    stats.distributed.net/projects

    This is going to take a while to get through the other 90%

  27. Ah crap, just found I had 8 OGR-NG28 stubs sitting in buffer waiting to be processed.

    Duly updated and flushed, all the clients back to RC5-72. Hadn't submitteed a block on that one since April, now adding to the 7,289 working days already on-file.

  28. New #ITtools required for functional #transparency & #democracy ..:

    a) #uncensorable and #verifiable #citizen #voting . Secured & enforced by e.g. #blockchain + #distributed #checksums and #P2P #storage .

    b) Enforce real #representativeGovernment through citizen-controlled transparency for decision-making in #politics using #multilayer #digitalidentity & #decentralized #socialMedia .

    c) #MultiFactor #authentication incl. a mix of #biometrics + manual factors. Controlled by each person, not a #centralAuthority . No need for #passports etc. anymore.

    d) Decentralized / #synchronized storage, verifiable (#irrefutable) by anyone, any time, anywhere. (Soon technical & #economical #reality. We're at the brink of a #disruptive storage #technology #breakthrough . Needed for most parts of modern #progress / #society / #business )
