Took me 2 hours, but this scene seems to actually be *done!* And holy cow, my word count for tonight is 261, not negative. What the hell, I'll take it.

Is Veilid good?

Is it better than IPFS? (I've started to worry that IPFS is maybe not very good.)

in reply to mcc

so, ipfs is pretty specifically a distributed CAS, but Veilid is application sync, so they're not really comparable?
in reply to AstraLuma

ipfs is not a distributed CAS it is 7 layers of half-assed protocols they copy pasted from anything that seemed like it would play well in marketing copy and the most half-assed local db i've ever seen with yet another half-assed CAS interface slapped on top
in reply to d@nny disc@ mc²

So I guess a clearer way of phrasing my question is "if I start developing something atop Veilid, will I find myself slowly regretting the decision, like I did with LibP2P?"

key features from wikipedia:

Versioned file system: Supports file versioning and allows users to track changes over time.

Interoperability with distributed applications: IPFS seamlessly integrates with decentralized applications (dApps), offering a robust storage layer for blockchain and Web3 ecosystems.

cdc doesn't fuck with cryptocurrency. even if their individual architectural decisions are suboptimal they won't sell out

I love this. Using #Civictech to help the public follow and influence policy. #Democracy thrives when government is transparent and accountable. We should strive for this at every level, from local to global and everything in between.

You should be less worried about which bathrooms people choose to use, and more worried about whether they washed their hands.

Well, I made it to brunch and back today with my legs hurting, but not as much as yesterday. We went to an old favorite restaurant that had closed and was renovated and reopened with new owners. Very nice! We'll definitely be going back.

And I realized just now that my foot has barely hurt at all today, so maybe the long-awaited progress is finally here.

#Today



Hallo, oder sollte ich sagen Ahoi, hast du eventuell Interesse, dem #Faschismus am Tag der #Machtübernahme durch die #AfD zu entgehen? Ich meine den Tag am Tag der Bundestagswahl, an dem die #Union als #Juniorpartner bei der AfD einsteigt. Ich persönlich habe vor, an dem Tag auszuwandern. Möchtest du dich mir anschließen? Ich habe vor, ein Schiff, eine Arche, bis dahin zu haben. Ich spare darauf und ich werde sie bis dahin errichten. Möchtest du Teil der Besatzung werden?
in reply to BigBro.84

@bigbro84 Ich habe immer weniger Vertrauen in die etablierten Parteien. Von Union bis Grüne halte ich sie inzwischen alle für korrupt oder rechtsoffen. Ob ich bereit wäre, für ein Land zu kämpfen, das von innen her so verrottet ist wie unseres? Ich weiß nicht. Da gefällt mir mein Plan B besser, und es könnte ja sogar noch anders kommen, und die Parteien könnten sich ja noch als handlungsfähig gegen die Faschisten erweisen. Allein der Glaube fehlt mir.

Ich verstehe deine Sorgen. Ich denke, wir erleben gerade das Versagen jahrzehntelanger Politik. Und dieser mischten so einige Parteien mit.
2026 wird das Jahr der Entscheidung sein.
Wir werden uns die Demokratie wieder zurückholen.
2026 friedlich.
GG steht über allem und muss beschützt werden.
Es wird angegriffen und wir werden es verteidigen. Durch alle die können und wollen.


Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) makes the point that archeological artifacts unearthed from Egypt should not be exported to Germany, but to the United States instead. 👍

The U.S. wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO's conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials said, a deadline that struck some as unrealistic. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/… #worldnews #politics #us #europe #nato #donaldtrump #usmilitary #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar
