The alternative is not have that one choke point that can be hammered. Decentralize.

It wasn’t really that we wanted to have a CRDT per se, but as it was implemented on top of an op-based append-only log CRDT, it turned out to hold those properties, which makes it …

Agreed, the undoing and replying isn’t exactly non-fancy. Peristent B+Tree is also not very non-fancy.

Cool to see a write up on this! Discovered the same method years ago and also wondered why it doesn’t show up in academic literature. I implemented this in a decentralized context …

Not if 1 million people install and monitor them instead of 100 people.

There’s also OrbitDB https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb which to my understanding has been a pioneer for p2p logs, databases and CRDTs.

Number two is calling for nukes, anywhere by anybody. Nobody else brings that to the conversation.

One way to do authorization is to sign each operation/message and then verify the signature to match a public key in an access control list. This also enables CRDTs to work in a pe…

Great analogy! Well done.

Are you or your people being, or have been, slaughtered by a fascist, barbaric military? If yes, I’m sorry and I understand your position. If not, gtfo.

Maybe? Depends on the rest of the software you’d be developing and what features and abstractions you’d need. The point was that “just use redis” is a poor and incorrect advice.

Can you run Redis in browser? You can’t. Is an in-process, in-memory database faster than making a query over network? Yes it is.

*and if you don’t want to sign up for DDNS :)

Accessing a “home computer” behind a NAT you don’t control or has a dynamic IP, eg. computers/devices that only have mobile connection and many (most?) broadband home connections.

I think this is true if the system is global or there’s model where Sybil resistance is “here everyone, have an access to write to the database”. In a system like HN there’s value …
