@serapath Holepunch is a sketchy company and absolutely not anti-capitalist (and did some very shitty things to Dat)

@eater (Bezorgrestaurants heb ik niet zo'n moeite mee, maar wel met ghost kitchens die weet-ik-hoe-veel merken gaan runnen alsof het onafhankelijke bedrijven zijn terwijl het allemaal eigenlijk van 1 partij is en het net zo goed 1 menukaart had kunnen zijn)

@eater Huh, echt? Ik wist dat ze tegenwoordig een hoop bezorg/afhaalfilialen hadden, maar niet dat het echt volledig ghost kitchens geworden zijn.

Nee he... de ghost kitchens zijn nu blijkbaar in Nederland ook in opmars. Uitgebaat door Johnny's Burger Co in ieder geval.

"Considering more general distribution models is a good direction for future work"

Ah yes, the "we couldn't be bothered with this" comment in academese

@jdp23 (Basically, blockchains kind of wrecked this entire research space, and I'm hoping that there's some work somewhere that I missed)

@jdp23 Cwtch is 'just' built on Tor, right? I'm particularly looking for novel network designs, consensus mechanisms, actual networks, that sort of thing, that try to advance the state of research in P2P systems, rather than applications built on existing systems.

Are there any exciting developments in explicitly anti-capitalist P2P systems lately?
(I know about Veilid)

every adhd thread is like

0: shitpost about topic
1: pondering something serious about the topic
2: realizing something they’re unsure or confused about
3: excitedly quoting the wikipedia page with surprising things they are learning
4: (10 minutes later) book report summarizing the last 10 years of research on the topic

@hye It does! Though I've already read that one 🙂 Thanks nevertheless!

(Sidenote, if you've *published* queer hopepunk books, please also tell me!)

re: personal venting 

@artemist @ZeroEcks Note that Electron also does sandboxing by default and it's generally a choice of the publisher of the software to explicitly turn that off (for a variety of reasons, most of them bad)

@smveerman Ah, no, that looks like a query for some search backend like ElasticSearch, a boolean query language basically

K1 hat aus einem Stück Restholz und einem #ESP32 eine Lampe gebastelt und möchte gerne, dass ihr Sternchen verteilt...

Anyone have recommendations for queer hopepunk books, other than those in that hopepunk bundle a while ago?

personal venting 

@freakazoid Some pointers to that end: the actual thing that Electron uses is CEF, Chromium Embedded Framework, which can more or less be thought of as "just the engine part of Chromium without all the other browser stuff" (ie. mostly just layout, parsing, and an embedded JS runtime, similar to modern UI toolkits), the baseline memory use of Electron is somewhere in the region of 50MB at most, V8 is a very fast and well-optimized JS runtime (achieving close to C performance in some cases... and often better performance in typical I/O-bound scenarios), and most of the 'memory use' of both V8 and the rendering subsystem are optimistic memory allocations/retaining that are not actually used yet to prevent memory fragmentation, and which disappears under memory pressure.

personal venting 

@freakazoid Like, all of these claims are literally just false, but nobody ever bothers to actually *check* them before repeating them.
