@xj9 @aral Did they fix IPNS yet? I remember that smugboard needed like 3 minutes to load a thread because lookups were so goddamn slow with the js implementation of IPFS.
-
@xj9 @aral There's no daemon in the js implementation though, which is the really interesting thing.
-
@xj9 @aral It is an IPFS daemon written in js. Which means you can load an ipfs application by just visiting a website. We had an imageboard (smugboard) on the old server, but I didn't bother to port it.
-
@xj9 @aral Yeah it's a shame. It'd be really cool if we could finally have fast, server free IPFS apps that don't need to install additional software. It'd really help the whole thing along.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral That is the most unstable software I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Remember that time when the whole network keeled over? That was great. NNTPchan is really the last thing I'd want to deal with.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Even GNU/Social doesn't care about that. If your software is less stable than that pile of PHP garbage then I dunno man.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral I doubt it's about muh hotpockets. Anyway, you can have one server with 1pph and one server one million pph on the fedi and it still works. No reason why nntpchan should keel over in that case.
Also, Smugchan for example lets people subscribe to mods they like, and only the posts that the subbed mods delete are hidden from them.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral It would really not affect SPC at all. TWKN would be a bit slower, but other than that it would be just fine.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral We're like 5 people here man.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral I mean, sure, the end game for GNU/Smug is to take over google, faceberg, amazon and twitter, but we're no there yet.
Honestly, make your software work. Even the "holy shit 8ch is gonna die in the next three days we need /something/" tier build of smugboard are preferable to nntpchan imho. Boards and even individual threads can just run on different machines and even if those machines die then the threads merely become read only thanks to the magic of IPFS.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral We tested it and it did just that. You can turn off the server and the thread still loads.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral *super slowly though. It needs a couple minutes to actually find the tread in question.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Well, each thread has a server, that's true. They can be on different machines though. So if you have IPSFkampfy marking a thread as deleted and shutting down his threadserver out of salt then there's still nothing stopping someone else from having their own thread.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral At least it works, man.
-
@jeff @nepfag @xj9 @aral i dont trust nntpchan which is why ive almost finished coding an alternative federated anon board
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral I know "the user has to take care of it" is enough for ISO 9001 certification, but it's really not how you should build your software.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral You said that it works if users take care to make it work.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Someone can turn off all smugchan servers and the site still loads. Not sure what more you would want, really.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Not without the threadserver. It'd be trivial to let people post without it, but then everyone would know which IP made which post.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral For each thread. Then one (or a different one if you like that other one more) to organize the threads into boards, then again one (or a different one, if you want to) to organize the boards into a site.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral Yeah, which is why it's not done like that.
-
@jeff @xj9 @aral ?
