My approach to hosting with Got has been to make it easy and secure for users to host from any machine. INET256 solves that problem nicely. If you have access to an INET256 network, then all you have to do is swap addresses and two Got ins

Yep, your link is indeed to the probabilistic tree used in GotKV. Here "probabilistic" just refers to a way of balancing a tree. Rather than having a set of rules to keep the tree balanced, like with a btree or red-black tree, ba

Sure, Git stores data in a trie. Each file is one blob identified by hash, and directories (called trees in Git) are blobs where each line is a directory entry with a name and the hash of a file or another tree. This means that modifying a

I can think of a few reasons to exclude a character: - Requires quoting or escaping in the shell or some other programming environment - Hard to type on mobile keyboard. - Not in a given person's touch-typing repertoire. The correct wa

I've been working on a project "Got". Which deals with the LFS problem, mentioned in the post. https://github.com/gotvc/got Got isn't really trying to do software version control better than Git.

In the same space is the key-value store underlying Got: GotKV. https://github.com/gotvc/got/tree/master/pkg/gotkv It stores encrypted blobs in any content-addressed store, and provides a copy-on-wr

Author here, happy to answer any questions. Diet256 is a centrally coordinated, densely connected overlay network, implementing the INET256 spec. It's the same simple INET256 API, but without any of the peering or routing configuration

The "ideas from WebFS" that are mentioned in the README are just building a filesystem on top of 2 well defined primitives: compare-and-swap cells and content-addressed storage. Those primitives are general enough to deal with th

I was not aware of Plan 9's WebFS. It looks like it presents websites in the local file system. IPFS can do something very similar with its content. I have used that before. The name here comes from using web resources (referred to by

A WebDAV file could be used as a WebFS Cell. The locking would allow emulation of the compare-and-swap functionality. The reference HTTP Cell: client and server are way less complicated than WebDAV though, as many here have alluded to.

Yes, you could use the HTTP Store over Tor. I think you would have to configure the proxy environment variables for Go's HTTP client.

Encryption keys are derived from a secret and the hash of the data. The secrets are set per Volume. An empty secret would be a convergent encryption strategy, maybe suitable for public data. If the secret is set then the keys will be con

Just to clarify: All data is encrypted on the client, going after a server backing a Store will get you encrypted blobs. Encryption keys would not exist on the server in plaintext.
