#veilid

Got #veilamp running inside a Debian #incus container. And a #nix flake sort of working (though the window chrome is off). Learned a bit about alsa and pipewire. Why do I have to make everything difficult? 😅 I need to build up a library again! I've gotten complacent stream-ripping most of my music with #NewPipe. Which works (but for how long) and quality is garbage. Projects like this make you want to become the net we should have had. It makes me want to do better. The world needs #veilid now more than ever.

Updates to the #veilid developer guide have been pushed to prod (and not on a Friday at 4:20!) so check it out if you have projects in mind. https://veilid.gitlab.io/developer-book/

Here's an interesting talk on Neighbourhood-First networks; not just a technical topic, but also a human process. The idea of groups of independent small servers contributing in an eventually-consistent network over multiple transports, providing services to a geographically-local area, seems very powerful. It's adjacent to #veilid of course, but lives much higher up in the network and human layers of the stack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCbzHfKjTDs

@teohhanhui@mastodon.social I've been playing with #activitypub ideas in https://codeberg.org/cmars/medina recently (very incomplete and slightly incoherent rough sketch). I had this idea of a hub or relay where the identities are moderated but the clients own their keys and data in a portable #sqlite db which could be hosted by an instance or relayed. Exploring that balance between moderation and autonomy. I'm also testing some of these ideas with #veilid in another project that I haven't shared yet. Looks like you're using #iroh which I haven't tried yet. It's hard for me to commit to side-projects right now, but very interested to see how your project goes!
