I recall that, yes. It seems plausible to me but I still haven't used the language (because closed compiler).

Yes, indeed.

IPFS is not technically part of the design. It works analogously to IPFS, but has its own protocol and block structure; I had some different design goals from IPFS so I have different constraints, and IPFS is a bit slow. Revolver can, however, use IPFS as an alternative storage backend (which allows for blocks to move through IPFS's network) and it can attempt to optimistically fetch from IPFS (because we're using the same hashing algorithm), so IPFS is available as a side-channel of sorts. (That part is already done, but I have it disabled on most of the nodes because of the performance problems.)

> So is this screenshot relevant still?
Yes. There are some chunks of the PleromaFE that might not work, but I'm still shooting for enough compatibility that you can use a stock PleromaFE. The rest of it is still accurate.
> And if I have it right, you are talking decentralized Fedi, going from client-server to peer-to-peer instances?
Yeah, to talk to non-Revolver ActivityPub instances there will still have to be public instances associated with domains, but the problems with instances will be solved: storage, hosting, liability, all of that.
> Do you know about non-Fedi Scuttlebutt
Yes. There are a lot of P2P systems, SSB is kind of designed around everything being walled off. The "Pub" in ActivityPub and LitePub is incompatible with that kind of approach, and I'm writing it to replace the software running on FSE, so it's got to talk to fedi: I'm on fedi because I like fedi. If you look at Twister, that's closer. It had some architectural problems, but the intended functionality is closer to that than it is to SSB.

@npub130v…3lvv @npub1p7f…2srj @npub1kd0…s4m4 @npub18k3…upyq Ha, yeah, most of the VMs on there were allocated to friends; the intention was to start selling hosting, but I scrapped that due to the stability problems with the machine. I kept the VMs running for the people using them until the box shat itself completely.

@npub1kd0…s4m4 @npub1p7f…2srj @npub18k3…upyq Shucks, guys.
> the general antipathy to religion that's in the air nowadays.
Yeah, that's real. It's been like that a long time but it does seem especially hostile these last few years. Speech, peaceable assembly, press, religion, and petitioning the government, all things that the government and a lot of private citizens seem hostile towards lately.

@npub108z…dkr5 @npub1lka…jeym Apparently replacement keyboards are widely available.

@npub108z…dkr5 @npub1lka…jeym Ha, because it's a Blackberry keyboard, but Blackberry got mad, so he had to change the name from "BeepBerry" to "Beepy" and then blur out the keyboard. Basically it is just a board with a Pi Zero W, an LCD, and a replacement Blackberry keyboard.

Pretty good use-case for the DevTerm/uConsole. I leave it on the nightstand when I go to bed. Or for even lower-fi IRC/ssh/etc., this lil fucker is pretty goddamn slick: beepy.sqfmi.com/
