Beaker looks dead simple indeed.

Now I only have to understand the P2P part.

@charlyblack can you access the /gdprref folder?
I thought I needed this DAT thing to actually be visible from the outside

@dataKnightmare yep I see that too, the dat address points to the whole /library

@charlyblack good then. feel free to roam, that's my collection of (mostly in Italian) GDPR stuff

@dataKnightmare my rotting brain will get lost if I try to read probably :P, but thanks!
btw I wonder if there's a way to share selectively with chosen peers..

@charlyblack I may also add my "data&society" and "AI" reading folders :)

@dataKnightmare my links collection is always hungry

@charlyblack doing it now. Only doubt: is this Node.js thing worthy? wouldnt like to bring in a can of worms into my own PC, would use a VM instead.

@dataKnightmare mmh.. I am not sure I follow, I am trying the AppImage, didn't build from source

@charlyblack oh, me too. Node.js is needed to run DAT proper. Maybe it's the part needed for proper file replication. So far I am "seeding" your files, but I see no trace of them on my disk.

@charlyblack excellent link list. Some I already read, but not too many. Interesting.

@dataKnightmare what would be really cool is integration with a web-archiving tool, so that in case the links break there's a local copy of the web pages permanently recorded and stored

DataKnightmare @dataKnightmare

@charlyblack think we're looking for the same thing. If it's P2P, and on top of git, I should have a chance to fully replicate the website, only instead of everybody cloning down from github, you clone the directory I publish. I'm trying to see if this is the case.

@dataKnightmare this too yes, for the material that you host directly, but for the links list I was dreaming also of something to record the standard web pages the links point to, like the wayback machine...

@charlyblack yeah. On the other hand, I see Beaker *is* maintaining a copy of your website. It's internal, so to say, and I can choose to "save an editable copy" by downloading it as .zip.
IBut I want to see if it's only maintaining the catalog or the actual files. If it's only the catalog, it seems to me it would not really be p2p at all. checking...
