  1. Irgendwie habe ich den Eindruck, dass Suchmaschinen auch nicht mehr das sind, was sie einmal waren. Oder besser gesagt, ich habe den Eindruck, dass bestimmte Seiten aus welchen Gründen auch immer nicht mehr im Such Index bestimmter Suchmaschinen erscheinen.

    Bin ich mit diesem Eindruck alleine? Was ist aus Projekten wie Yacy geworden - weiß da jemand etwas? Letzte Aktualisierung war 2021...

  2. My Idea for a Decentralized P2P VPN Protocol and a botched master's thesis proposal attempt.

    blog.t1m.me/blog/designing-a-d

    Some know that I'm still trying to finish my master's @rwth while working full-time @littleworld Well, I have been tinkering and exploring #peer2peer #p2p systems for a while and am quite intrigued by the decentralized, independent nature. Then sometime last year, when I was getting into #golang I started building with #libp2p

  3. Первый вход в RetroShare: как найти сотоварищей

    В RetroShare нельзя «найти людей» в привычном смысле. Здесь не ищут, здесь договариваются. Это ключевой сдвиг мышления, без которого первый вход всегда будет пустым.

    Первое, что нужно принять: в РШ нет глобального лобби. Пустота после установки — не баг, а честное состояние сети без связей. Пока у тебя нет доверенных контактов, у тебя буквально нет сети.

    Базовый способ — внеполосный контакт.
    Сотоварищи находятся вне RetroShare. Это знакомые, коллеги, участники тематических сообществ, люди из Matrix, XMPP, IRC, Mastodon, форумов. Любая площадка, где можно безопасно обменяться ключами. РШ начинается не с кнопки «поиск», а с фразы «вот мой ключ».

    Второй путь — контрольный союзник.
    Самый надёжный вариант для первого входа — собственный второй инстанс или человек, с которым заранее согласован эксперимент. Это снимает неопределённость: если связь не установилась, проблема техническая, а не социальная.

    Третий путь — тематические острова.
    Существуют небольшие сообщества RetroShare, живущие вокруг идей: приватность, P2P, darknet-исследования, оффлайн-активизм. Они не рекламируются широко именно потому, что сеть не рассчитана на поток случайных людей. Вход туда всегда начинается с диалога, а не с клика.

    Что не работает.
    Публичные ключи «в никуда». Ожидание, что кто-то сам добавится. Надежда на автопоиск. Это мышление централизованных сетей, перенесённое в среду, где оно не имеет смысла.

    Как понять, что сотоварищ найден.
    Контакт появляется онлайн. Соединение держится. Начинают работать сервисы: чат, форумы, обмен. В этот момент RetroShare перестаёт быть абстракцией и становится средой общения.

    Итог простой:
    в RetroShare сначала появляются люди,
    и только потом — сеть.

    bastyon.com/post?s=b2e2d378c83

    RetroShare ломает ожидания: здесь нет «поиска людей», потому что сеть не существует без доверия.

    Если у тебя пусто после первого входа — всё работает правильно. Это не баг, это честная модель: сначала контакт, потом связь, потом сеть.

    Любая централизованная привычка здесь мешает. Ключи не «публикуют», ими обмениваются. Людей не «находят», с ними договариваются.

    И да, самый стабильный первый узел — это либо твой второй инстанс, либо человек, с которым ты заранее согласовал эксперимент.

    RetroShare начинается не с интерфейса, а с доверия.

  4. Распределенные сети для инференса ИИ: как это работает, какие технологии есть и когда мы перестанем кормить NVIDIA

    Представьте мир, где ваш смартфон не просто запускает нейросеть — он становится частью глобального вычислительного мозга. Мир, где беспилотный автомобиль обрабатывает данные не в далёком облаке, а в динамической сети соседних машин и дорожной инфраструктуры. Мир, где умный завод принимает решения не централизованно, а через коллективный разум тысяч датчиков и роботов, обменивающихся нейронными активациями в реальном времени. Это не сценарий далёкого будущего — это насущная потребность сегодняшнего дня. Пока гиганты ИИ соревнуются в создании всё более крупных моделей с триллионами параметров, реальный мир сталкивается с жестоким парадоксом: самые продвинутые системы искусственного интеллекта оказываются беспомощными там, где они нужнее всего — на периферии, в условиях ограниченной связи, скудной энергии и жёстких требований к задержкам.

  5. An #E2EE messaging app unaffected by #ChatControl

    * App: chat.positive-intentions.com/
    * Code: github.com/positive-intentions
    * Reddit: reddit.com/r/positive_intentio

    How it works: positive-intentions.com/docs/p

    TLDR: I'm working on a #P2P messaging #webapp. Webapps are generally not considered secure because of the nature of serving statics over the internet. This is correct, but not a limitation of this project. (#selfhosting options: positive-intentions.com/blog/d).

    As a webapp, I can provide the app with zero-installation and no-registration. The app is only using (local-only) browser storage (specifically #indexedDB). So in a P2P interaction, the traditional concept of "the cloud" is just the physical devices connected over #WebRTC. This allows for things like P2P authentication: positive-intentions.com/blog/s.

    Future:
    I'm aiming to create the most secure messaging app out there... (more than #Signal, #Simplex, #threema, #session, #deltachat, #bitchat, etc). I know I have a long way to go to get there. The UI is fairly ugly for the average user, but I think the mechanics are working as expected. I think #JavaScript is underrated in what you can do with it. I'm actively investigating improving the #encryption approach further to align to how the Signal protocol works (currently using a #DiffieHellman key-exchange).

    Support:
    In the age of #ChatControl, I would like to keep this project #opensource, but open-source funding is not working for me. I don't want your donations (but don't let that stop you) because it isn't sustainable for a long-term project. I have so far only experienced grant-funding rejections. I have no idea what I'm doing in trying to get funding for this project, so any support/advice is appreciated. In recognition of the project in its current state not being able to get funding... (sorry) I will have to go #closedsource (which I'd like to avoid because it undermines several #cybersecurity claims I'd like to make). I don't accept collaboration on the project because this would make tough decisions like going closed-source also immoral.

  7. 😏 Ah, the age-old quest for peer-to-peer connections without the digital equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine. 📠 Introducing 'Iroh'—because who knew connecting two computers was as mythical as finding a #unicorn that writes perfect code with GitHub Copilot? 🦄💻

  9. Happy new #peer2peer dev-world!

    Finally I got my #radicle seed node up and kicking. Updated with recent released radicle. Running the radicle-explorer.

    seed.pipapo.org/

    Now I think about putting gitea to rest.
    What do you think?

    Of course this comes with some changes:

    * Contributors will need to use radicle too when they want to PR something or open issues (git clone will work just fine). This probably/certainly raises some entry barrier.

    * Easier administration for me since I don't need to tend the influx of bogus account creation requests some bot armies do on gitea. There is much less state (aka close to nothing) to backup.

    * radicle is still young, there are a lot things missing. Esp the UX/discoverability could be better.

  13. Peer-to-peer energy in developing nations

    https://youtu.be/j6oB1UjwY5w?feature=shared

    It’s estimated that globally 1.18 Billion people are living in energy poverty and 700 Million are living with no electricity at all. [1] Many of them are in rural areas with no chance of ever getting connected to a mains (Fossil Fuel) grid because the electricity/maintenance would be just too expensive. Enter peer-to-peer energy trading technology, coupled with cheap solar and storage. A technology that has the potential to lift millions out of energy poverty, especially those living in equatorial regions.

    Established in 2015, SOLshare, in Bangladesh, has developed one of the world’s first solar peer-to-peer energy exchange platforms, allowing households with rooftop solar home systems to trade excess electricity in real-time. This technology enables users to become both producers and consumers of electricity, enhancing energy access in areas where traditional grid infrastructure is lacking.

    The SOLshare platform is comprised of three key elements

    • SOLbazaar Platform: This is the core of SOLshare’s P2P trading system, which connects households and small businesses. Users can sell surplus energy generated from their solar installations to neighbours, facilitating a decentralised energy market.
    • SOLbox Meter: A bi-directional smart meter that allows for the measurement and trading of electricity between users. It supports mobile payments, making transactions seamless and accessible.
    • Mobile App: The SOLapp helps manage user energy and tracks consumption and trading activities, enhancing user engagement and efficiency.

    SOLshare’s initiative has significantly improved energy access for rural communities in Bangladesh, where approximately 60 million people still lack reliable electricity. Some of these communities have never had access to reliable electricity. By enabling households to monetise their excess solar energy, SOLshare not only addresses energy poverty but also empowers local economies by allowing individuals to earn income through energy trading.

    The company’s technology exemplifies the benefits of a shift towards decentralised and sustainable energy solutions. The Fossil Fuels industry to this day claims that renewables can’t power the world, but if history has taught us anything it’s centralised Fossil Fuels can’t power poorer regional areas. While this technology is most applicable in rural areas it can be deployed in cities to help combat blackouts and rising electricity costs.

    There are other similar initiatives happening in the developing world. I touched on another initiative in Africa in this article HERE. Also in Cambodia Okra Solar are deploying something very similar which they call a Mesh Grid. It can be quickly deployed, and in this case below, redeployed when needed. Someting that is increasingly important when it comes to Climate Change adaptation.

    You can see other projects that Okra Solar are deploying around the world here: https://www.okrasolar.com/category/case-studies

    It’s not just the developing world that can benefit from this type of Solar Micro Grid. In Australia remote communities that are currently dependent on diesel generators are now being powered by Solar and Batteries. These towns would also benefit from the addition of peer-to-peer energy trading as a way to save money and build more resilience into their micro grids. https://reneweconomy.com.au/horizon-slashes-diesel-use-with-solar-and-battery-microgrids-for-remote-towns/

    Solar and Storage will 100% power equatorial regions, and beyond, in the the future. It will be cheaper and more reliable. It will allow for more energy independence and will dramatically reduce emissions. We just need to hit the accelerator pedal and get deploying these projects faster so they can benefit from economies of scale.

  15. At the crossroad of life and technology, I had the pleasure of joining the Hersh Repun podcast as a guest!
    [Link to the full episode in the first comment!]
    We dove into the fundamentals of blockchain, addressed common misconceptions, and highlighted the importance of ownership and value in our digital age. I also shared my personal brand journey and lifestyle insights, offering practical tips for those just starting out with blockchain.

  17. I would be happy to hoste a docker container as a node on my home server to support the infrastructure.
    Something like #peer2peer but for server infrastructure.
    Don't know if it's even possible so please consider it a #showerthought for now 🤣

  18. The Oldest Living Torrent Is 20 Years Old.

    The Fanimatrix, a 16-minute amateur film just popular enough to have its own Wikipedia page... would unknowingly become a crucial part of torrent history. It now stands as the world’s oldest active torrent, with an uptime now spanning a full 20 years.

This si White you must absolutely not use the #peer2peer navigator #tor to access #research throught #scihub (if you cant access full text by asking the author or institution) because it illegal and very slow and most authors don’t get pay according to the astronomic price of their #article.

    Share for awareness, it’s important to do the right thing (pay)
