Look I'd have more statistics but my computer is throwing a hissy fit and I'm slightly tipsy, okay? For now you get a moving median. I'll try the Kalman filter later.
Also I'm just going to post this figure again because it was so vital in refining the way I think about network-y things.
"Centralized" is gmail. "Decentralized" is gmail. "Distributed" is IPFS or other P2P protocols.
The thing is, "decentralized" is really easy. Decentralized is 1980's tech. There's no technological reason to not have most things be decentralized.
Distributed is a lot harder. That's still an active research problem for many domains.
You can complain about central authorities but there's no reason running one of these key authorities should be any harder than running a DNS server, so it can be as decentralized as you want (distributed is harder; it should be possible, but it's a research project. Decentralized is entirely possible with 1980's technology; see fgure). https://octodon.social/media/ZiBMrqBg7jp6hq6m3wE
heyyyyyyy I made a thing and it maybe doesn't look like absolute garbage.
I mean... it IS garbage, because the source data is kinda crap and there's all sorts of background junk that I'm just totally ignoring. But the actual PROCESS seems to work!
