@RussSharek Hah, years ago I was interested in the Business Card Linux, a distros to our on a BC sized CD. You had 50MB if I remember correctly. I built a variant that removed some stuff and added Emacs instead. πŸ€“

@ajroach42 I guess what I’m saying is that BitTorrent solves this particular problem. What would you need from ssb beyond seeding, downloading from multiple servers and all that – the ability to sync while you’re online in bits and pieces? I think BitTorrent can do it. What it can’t do is find the archives for you – but if the works you share are PD then indexing them is easy. PirateBay is not required.

@ajroach42 Is storage or bandwidth the problem? I’d hope that a single instance (possibly with low band width) β€œseeding” would be enough to keep the network alive and all the movies available?

Back in Switzerland. Had a nice but exhausting vacation. Tomorrow I'll look at #golang #activitypub stuff. Plan some stuff out, catch up on some projects, and maybe code a little.

@pkotrcka it’s terribly flat and a lot windier than Switzerland.

has the biggest church of . It makes me feel small.

@c25l Sure. What I care about is that we shouldn’t design systems to make this the default, though.

@starbreaker @aral I was prepared to ignore a post with the title β€œHow the Blog Broke the Web” but it turned out to be an interesting read. I don’t agree with the main point, but it was interesting none the less. Thanks for the link.
