In the context of DTube IPFS is simply storage for video files, where the metadata + interactions are on the SteemIt block chain. It's cool that the author has generalized the concept onto pure IPFS. It may work better than my experien

I did what you said: created a video platform on RasPi + static site gen + CDN. The live streaming and everything work great. I've recorded some comparisons with IPFS / DTube and looked at BitChute / WebTorrents a bit. I rema

Fun. Lately I have a growing pile of RasPis and SD cards everywhere. I guess I built enough PCs in the 00s and now they’re $50 so why not build clusters/etc? Back then PC games were around $60 or upgrades $200, now weekend projects wit

GP means to say that git can cover most use cases via Merkle operations/properties. What Merkle does is give a trustless distributed ledger. Mining/PoW allow fully trustless+anonymous while other methods are trustless in the sense

My life history shows this isn’t hypothetical. Rising star from midwest now on a life raft in SF, rent 6+ wk overdue, most accounts closed, no cash and bank account frozen/thawed if I can get funds, and most everyone’s abandoned me. Ca

It’s because silicon valley is stuck in ego battles and fear and risk aversion, eyes on world domination or bust, while China is a scrappy underdog not worried about pixel perfect proof of concepts. I like their style, like smaller US marke

I built a live streaming system with VoD constrained to RasPi+CDN with minimal code in a few weeks, fully FLOSS and offline capable. All design and hours of live hacking are online, comparison here: https://ispooge.com/2018-

Excellent. I can’t read it because of the pay wall, but the key value it brought, being one to always live blocks from a coop, was the sack of seasoning and the like in the right amount. Previous attempts at learning to cook had always lead

I assumed that’d be the case. What’s the average response and resolution time for pro customers? Difference for free customers? How’s your escalation process, if I may ask? (PagerDuty, etc). Can you speak to false positive rates? I break t

Now is as good a time as any to mention that I’ve been running a channel that I am moving from YouTube onto my soverign origin RasPi with some fancy scripts, and I’ve been doing daily 720p livestreams using it as the origin with CloudFlare

Used to live in MV, comment is legit. I still drive down to RedRock from SF at times on the weekend, years after moving (40ish mi).

I don’t agree that it’s best you don’t describe anti-abuse techniques. I’d be impressed if your manager agrees. I’ll argue points if you like. Can you talk about topology relative to ingress and origin? Eg. is execution pinned in select PoP

Similar bg: Minneapolis, short time in Denver, probable lifer in BA (currently by the beach in Sunset SF where vagrants abound). It’s just too nice here to leave, even with offers of couches in swank condos in other cities. Wealthy vs. poor

All this centralization has created all these problems. We need to federate our systems, perhaps at the app level even. I worked at OpenTable for a short and their arch was interesting. Each PoP in the old version is its own system that pus

XMPP is a good machine for bait and switching. I discovered it after building my own AOL-like chat systems from scratch in high school, in VB, C, PHP, etc (many iterations) and engaged heavily. To this day all I hear when people talk about

I’ve revoked all badge permissions; literally all, even text and vm... I usually just reply to notifs when I can and leave the ringer on if I am expecting anything. Interestingly I get frequent notifs from Settings about Apple Pay and more

Maybe a bit OT, but my understanding of meat causing cancer is that if you don’t eat enough fiber to clear out the intestinal sludge then it harbors the conditions for cancerous cells to come about. I need to follow up on that more. Even mo

I’m sick of this. I came here ready to elevate my career (network=net worth) but all I have to show for it is a resume full of craters and a black book full of people who wish me unwell (emptying). A few good connections in tech, but I most

I wonder how much talent is turned away at HR or decides to not even pursue for cultural reasons. The brightest I know are mostly in business for themselves. The only reason I want a job is to work on massive scale problems again, but being

Good stuff. I posted some technical videos about DTube/IPFS vs. HLS+CDN in the past few days (2x 20min), and design lectures in the past 90 or so days (2-3x50min)... I forget etiquitte about posting links but my profile has some pointe

I wonder what happened to human discernment. It’s like people think liars get away without detection. The only reason a person who bullshits an interview gets hired is because the interview was a formality to begin with; eg. Friend of manag

Hang in there man. You're going to be competing with me for the top spot on Patreon ;). I've been setting up the same style operation. Willing to live in car if I need to, the stuff I experienced in the workplace actually had me w

Accurate breakdown. If you looked at my life as a 14 year old, you wouldn't have been able to picture me as a 28 year old. If you looked at me as a 28 year old, you wouldn't have been able to picture me as a 33 year old. In the la

Upvoted gray. I’ve observed at least one of my comments removed from HN. I was a liberal when I came to SF, but people shut me down constantly since coming here... I determined I am being bullied for the first time; as a 30+ yo man it is an

Funny timing, I am deleting my account now. Decided on messaging, cropped friends, posted notice, and am messaging and unfriending individuals after short convo. It's been kinda fun. Own-domain email setup, and page with my name in met

I miss not having team chat. People figured stuff out and felt it was important enough to document... failing that they got up and walked over. This was 2003ish. Now I end up either being drained by lack-of-effort questions all day on chat,

Too little too late on the Fam thing. My exit plan was well underway when they announced it. FB stopped being for emo in 2013ish last I cared, yet I'm still going through the emotionally taxing process of extracting my friendships from

Good summary, thanks. I'd come to a less clear version of the same tradeoffs, thinking in terms of commitment level and capacity over time. Eg. 70hr week might be okay once a year but not 60hr for several weeks in a row due to draining

Not GP but I've had 5 jobs since coming to SF in 2014; walked off the last 2 within months. I was innocent and naive when I arrived, now I see how my late brother receeded to him bedroom for the final years of his life. People are horr
