So from what I can tell, the reason y'all keep pushing for NURIs has to do with the focus on hash-addressing, right? You're trying to get away from the concept of domains, which does make sense: a content-addressed folder or blob

They're pretty similar. Beaker supported both once, which may be what you're thinking of. This is what guided our decision: https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/inside-beaker/other-technolog... The two feature

We use Dat in Beaker[1] to host sites and files from the user's device. It's a pretty interesting protocol. It's developed by Code for Science[2], a 501(c)(3) led by Max Ogden[3] and with protocol dev led by Mafintosh[4]; the

The downvotes on replies are baffling over here. Here's what AljoschaMeyer said, and it's all accurate: Patchwork is a user interface for displaying messages from the distributed database to the user, and to allow the user to add

@cowardlydragon you got downvoted to death but that's a fair assumption so I want to reply to you here > forking a website so easily also makes spoofing very easy... A fork copies the files of a site, so yeah, it certainly would be

My role was to provide an applications perspective. I worked on UIs and data models. Dominic's the maker of the tech. I ended up removing the gif maker in one iteration because it was so frequently buggy. That was probably the worst ca

I loved the premise of Unite; it was a home HTTP server with dynamic DNS via an opera-run service. Very cool idea, but it wasn't that good of a product experience. (Maybe somebody should try it again using Electron; "node in your

Actually I think there is a good chance of that, if we can demonstrate interest. I know for a fact that Mozilla is looking for decentralization tech.

Very sensible design decisions and it's hard not to get excited about Rob Pike's involvement. I think Dat confers significant advantage by being hostless, but with Google's name behind it, you never know where Upspin could go

Yes - In Beaker we have plans for a userland namespace, which will be under the "app://" scheme. And we may someday move from DNS-over-HTTPS to something like DNSSEC, but that's not planned yet.

This is a part of the Beaker p2p browser project [1]. This server lets you host websites over the Dat protocol with DNS shortnames, as well as HTTPS as a fallback for (let's say) "legacy" browsers. Happy to answer questions.

Lots of good to say about Dat. They're running a project to keep the open.whitehouse.gov dataset alive [1] and they're funded by the Knight and Sloan foundations to preserve science and government data. The protocol distributes fl

Thoughts from skimming the post: Using all of the associated accounts across services to do user lookup is really quite cool, and the CLI integration and public broadcasts look very fun. Nice work there. Multi-device key management is one o
