I’m not actively looking but please do share references! Other people may read this and they may want to know too. Perhaps I’ll jump back in the rabbit hole at some point too 😁

Exactly. The Semantic Web is broader than Solid but Solid is great for personal apps.
Say you buy a smartphone. The specifications of the smartphone likely belong elsewhere than in a Solid Personal Online Datastore, but they can be pulled in from semantic data on the product website. Your own proof of purchase is a great candidate for a Solid POD, as is the trace of any repairs made to it.
These technologies are great to cross the barriers between applications. If we’d embrace this, it would be trivial to find the screen protector matching your exact smartphone because we’d have an identifier to discover its type and specifications. Heck, any product search would be easier if you could combine sources and compare with what you already have.
The sharing tech exists. Building apps works also. Interpreting the information without building a dedicated interface seems lacking for laymen.
IPFS would replace Content Delivery Networks in present day.
It would also allow you to host software and other content from your own network again without the constraints modern Internet Service Providers pose on you to limit your self-hosting capabilities.
If applications are built for it, it could serve as live storage for your applications too.
We ran ipf-search. In one of the experiments we could show that a distributed search index on ipfs-search, accessible through JavaScript is likely feasible with the necessary research. Parts of the index would automatically be hosted by clients who used the index thus creating a fairly resilient system.
Too bad IPFS couldn’t get over the technical hurdles of limiting connection setup time. We could get a fast (ElasticSearch based) index running and hosted over common web technologies, but fetching content from IPFS directly was generally rather slow.
The semantic web and social linked data. We could have applications share data without depending on big tech, but rather based on application standards.
It can be used today and gains traction but I wouldn’t mind it going faster. Especially the interoperable personal app space could use some love and attention.
Belgian here. It’s about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders’ wealth first.
Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.
Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.
I’m not a legal expert, but this talks about “inability to fulfill a contractual obligation” rather than the refusal to do so.
I assume the problem is slightly different and it is mainly a problem of not being able to go after the money (perhaps at reasonable cost) if the travelers have it?
https://github.com/mu-semtech/sparql-parser contains an EBNF parser for SPARQL, an LL(1) language. You might be able to borrow code, not sure how well it translates to scheme. GitHub asked me to log in to see the gist so I’d have to have a peek later.
sparql-ast folder contains the relevant bits regarding the parsing.
Kubernetetes is crazy complex when comparing to docker-compose. It is built to solve scaling problems us self-hosters don’t have.
First learn a few docker commands, set some environment variables, mount some volumes, publish a port. Then learn docker-compose.
Tutorials are plenty, if those from docker.com still exist they’re likely still sufficient.
The sentiment I hear around me is that you have been lied to.
We have kept the lights on, like many of you asked, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new humorous generation.
Sure, it is not going to be under the same conditions. Things have moved around when you left. Empty voids have been filled. Regardless, I’d love for us to see the propaganda of the time for what it was, propaganda and lies, and to bring the actors and platforms responsible for willingly spreading lies to their knees.
Together we stand stronger in a strong Europe, and reuniting is a sign of Europe’s resilience to external influences.
My whole work environment is tightly integrated ensuring I can use the same tools nearly everywhere. Things like keybindings (deleting a sentence, spellchecking a region, multiple cursors), macro’s (ad-hoc repetitive command sequences), the consistent mostly text-based visual look & feel. All of this lowers the cognitive load.
Comparing to an IDE, Emacs is more of a hyper-configurable integrated work environment. In my case, my code editor (Emacs), my knowledge base (org-roam), my tasks manager (ad-hoc on top of org-mode), my email client (mu4e), my tiling window manager (exwm), interaction with git (magit) and git issues and PRs (forge) as well as some other tools are controlled from Emacs. I call them ‘my’ because they’re sometimes slightly modified to scratch my own itches. I could integrate my calendar but Google’s webdav APIs seemed flaky at the time and FireFox only gets some consistent keybindings.
Just a few more years and Emacs will turn 50 years old. You never know what the future will bring but there’s a reasonable chance I will not have to throw away what I have learned so far.
Some examples of this integration:
M-x develop-projectname
command that boots up the application, arranges my windows with the right folders open, backend and frontends started, and a place for FireFox (not integrated, only uses some of the same keybindings)If you want to come to the dark side and like VIm’s keybindings, you may want to use Emacs’s evil-mode and keep them. It might just be the best of both worlds.
I am waiting for federation to land. Would love to give it a spin and see how smooth that works across instances.
https://browse.feddit.de/ has helped me discover some good subs
I had to read the overview and it looks nice. It reads like IPFS without some of the challenging cruft. Well written!
IPFS seemingly works small scale but not large scale. What makes tenfingers handle millions of files and petabytes of data better than IPFS? Perhaps that is not the goal. In what way do you think the tech scales? Why will discovery of the node which has the data be short?
I want to ask for benchmarks but you can’t do a full benchmark without loads of resources.
