Dr. Booth (her late husband) was one of my engineering professors back at the University of Victoria back in the early ‘90s. It’s amazing that modern CPUs still use the multiplicat…

People hating on IPFS DHT performance probably aren’t using the experimental accelerated DHT client. https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimenta...

“Disrupting data” sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

You can see the live file storage deals here. https://filfox.info/en/deal

There isn’t really a single price. Each miner sets their prices dynamically (off-chain). Some miners set ridiculous prices to scare off load and some even set their prices to zero …

You can mine under 10TiB. You aren’t eligible for block rewards until you are proving at least 10TiB. Filecoin+ verified data deals count for 10x power. There’s a lot of power on t…

For long term archiving, it’s essential practice to move data from machine to machine over time anyways, as machines get old and obsolete and can’t be repaired after a certain age.…

Security, mostly - if the proofs fail, it’s not just the data that could be corrupted - bad actors could attack the consensus itself and steal unlimited funds. The params for the p…

Take the total storage size on the network, figure out the number of spinning disks, multiply by the power consumption per disk + typical overhead for servers and switches, etc. Th…

Everything is in a grain, but I think the Earthstar applications could be decomposed to just handle a single document at a time. I made a quick demo recording and updated the READM…

I've been doing some experimentation along the same lines ... I've got a small proof-of-concept working where I can sync Earthstar databases between multiple Sandstorm instances - …

I joined a set-top box startup in 2002 based in Palo Alto (Digeo) that ran out of the former Altavista offices - same building as PAIX. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives…

I made a minimal web API for some experimental stuff I was trying: https://github.com/jimpick/magic-wormhole-service Not really hardened for production usage.

This is terrible... I have a copy of my “DAT Shopping List” demo I last opened about 6 months ago saved to my iPhone home screen... I opened it, and the data was still there. I’ll …

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. I think I've experienced some of the same frustrations at times, and I think most of the bugs/problems are well known to the development t…

IPFS works fine. I'm on the IPFS team and I use it everyday. Depending on the app, it may or may not be a good fit. The performance you get out of it depends a lot on what features…

(peer-base maintainer here) This is really cool! I found the share link, and just tried it between two Chrome browsers, and it worked great! Thanks for using peer-base! There's a l…

Japanese elementary and high school students spend years learning how to memorize and hand-write 2,136 official Kanji. That’s an expensive skill to learn, and has some advantages .…

Definitely the former in this case. British Columbia uses a British parliamentary system.

And then there’s how they wait in line in Cuba... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/in-an-onli...
