I think you're completely failing to understand my point. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3482389/how-many-primiti... You only need about 9 primitives and can build the rest from there. You can implement

I can probably answer the LISP question; the Core LISP Languages is incredibly simple. It has only 8 or so keywords you really need and 5 syntax forms (probably wrong, I don'T have the exact numbers in my head) It comes with very few

The autoresponder is more of a "This domain accept OAuth" and sends back the email body. That way, the autoresponder doesn't need to know anything about the process nor does it authenticate the user. It merely sends back a ma

Manipulating DNS is sadly very easy, but a TXT record of this type should be better than a MX record, as long as a oauth signin also contains a normal login link. In this case, the worst-case is an attacker injecting a TXT record to force O

A possible solution would be a DNS TXT entry (some with custom mail domains will have some sort of access to their DNS), which Portier could look up and use to determine if the service supports some form of OAuth. Alternatively, if DNS is n

A screenshot doesn't live on IPFS forever. IPFS has garbage collection, if content is not requested from any peers, the peers will drop the content after some time. So your screenshot will probably live a couple hours or days but not f

Probably not but it should make them more robust. On Ethereum you can model complex PKI which IPFS nodes can utilize to validate IPNS data. IPNS data should be signed by external keys you can revoke and manage. Or ideally even encrypted.

Most "slowness" is related to content that is either relatively fresh on the network or or rare content. If my node is the only one seeding the file, accessing it via gateway.ipfs.io is slow but it's pretty obvious why; I

Well, technically that's already possible by putting some form of index under the IPNS name. There is no real standard tho.

That is true but most external or IPFS-external sites will probably want to point at the IPNS link, bookmarks are gonna point at the IPNS link, etc. In the same way you could still use the old IP + header manipulation if someone took over a

Well, as I understood IPNS is a bit limited; it only has one resource and there is only one authority that can change content, the node in this case. It does protect against DDOS, since old content remains visible and online but if the priv

Well, it's certainly not something that needs to be avoided at all costs but in the long term it can be less efficient and more costly. It depends really, there is no single true language (except LISP) to solve all problems in the enti

I mostly agree, types are nice but they should not clutter code like in C++ or C. If the compiler can safely infer a type, it should do it, that's a no-brainer, modern compilers are very capable of doing just that. This is why I like l
