  • Ha ha yeah if there were only more competition :-D

    The idea is people run nodes (the hard part: routing incoming internet traffic to your PC) and nodes chit chat (any new nodes? Hey I just changed IP address!, ... etc) so that there is a lots if known nodes. Identities rely on RSA keys (like ssh does).

    Then on top of that (thus making it useful) you can propose a deal for another node: you share my data and I'll share yours.

    Which means people can access your data from your PC or from that other node sharing it for you.

    Share it with several nodes (you obviously are sharing theirs) and there will be a very high probability your data is accessible all the time.

    The sharing is completely trust-less, if a node stops sharing your data, you just stops sharing theirs and gets a new partner, no hard feelings.

    Added bonus is that it might be shared all over the world, so hard to take down.

    All traffic and data is encrypted, so no node even knows what they are sharing.

    You can change IP:port address, and update your data easily (that was the big work to be fair).

    That's about it, the implementation is written in python3 + cryptodome and uses RSA & AES-CTR.

    The basic use could be to host a website, or a chat for example.

    What do you think?

  • Thanks!

    I actually went there maybe 6 months ago, but they were (which is totally okay) not interested in my protocol or how it works. I'm probably not very good in selling it either 😞😊.

  • I'm building a sort of new internet protocol, so that we can do away with registrars and dns servers (so everyone can have their "web site"). But I'm quite abysmal when it comes to get people interested :-p

  • What about the illegal, but moral acts?

  • A side question : I'm making a similar protocol, anyone knows some space where you discuss stuff like I2P, IPFS etc?

    They all have their pros and cons, and I'd like to see if my protocol and its possibilities would interest.

    Cheers

  • Europe have been a sleeping beast, or a lot of sleeping beasts, since the end of WW2. Looks like everyone is kicking the hornets nest thinking it's "just old Europe" or something.

  • Thanks again, I think I have to bite the bullet and rewrite my programs so they can work in a folder, but I'll check out your suggestions first 😊 !

  • I think I must let the scripts run in a subfolder, I have started to understand the mounting of a folder into the already existing docker file system and well I guess I just have to bite the bullet 😊.

  • IIRC it was around one misplaced atom every century for some throughput. It's like digital vs analog or so I understood it.

  • Interesting! Will check out.

  • Thanks for the thorough answer, really appreciate it.

    You sure had my hopes up a bit too 😁 but it doesn't work. I also tried with the absolute path (from pwd) and others to no avail, docker run has an "inner" working dir of /data/ still. Guess it can't be ./

    Funny you are talking about compiling and such, the project is in python and I have frozen executables (not the most elegant solution, but its fire up and forget for the user), I just thought it simpler in a docker image.

    So back to the drawing board to figure out the best way to tackle it all. As I do have one image running a server, I could make it take commandline arguments and dispatch, but it's not exactly a beautiful solution. Or make the softs work in a designated directory.

    Thanks anyways!

  • Atomically Precise Manufacturing.

    Where a printer can print an exact copy of itself. For example.

  • In the maths in Engines of creation, the errors were supposedly so small they were negligible.

  • So what about APM? That's the thing I'm waiting for :-)

  • Je me suis inscrit mais qu'après une nombre assez grands d'essais, le site est vraiment pas bien fait (mobile avec adblocker & ghostery).

  • The best developers are the laziest.

    I'd take a dev slowly using a library with a one liner than a noob writing 500 lines of code doing the same thing any day.

  • If you just knew how many libraries we use...

  • Haven't been sick in ages! No friends though.
