@sun eDonkey2000 and Gnutella are my two main suspects, based on very hazy memories from the mid-2000s of reading deep dives on P2P implementations

does anybody else who's fascinated with #p2p #decentralized #DHT apps remember some ancient p2p network - maybe ed2k, that era - which would fall back to scanning all of ipv4 space to find other nodes if it couldn't connect to any other nodes or bootstrap servers at startup?

I read a paper on this in the 2000s. there was a degree of analysis of how long it'd take the network to re-establish itself given n disconnected nodes at the start. I'm looking for that paper/article.

boosts appreciated!

@thendrix @sun my very first *nix account was on a SunOS box when I was like 13 or 14 🥲

@thendrix @sun I feel so elderly, I started in 93-94. vindicated tho: my mother (who was essentially a systems analyst) told me in 98 that it'd never go anywhere and to get Microsoft certs and work at Microsoft, lol

the decision as trek reached the TNG era to make Klingon women ravenously horny was one of the best canon decisions ever made, don't bother trying to change my mind

@sun wow, really? it's been years at this point but I always liked Jetbrains IDEs

I feel like we need one moar big reddit flustercluck before the Lemmy + Kbin 'threadiverse' has critical mass for a ton of niche communities to coalesce

there's nothing quite like riling up materially comfy shitlib nerds on Ars Technica comments while having my morning covfefe

it's nice living in a city where even a heterosexual man can walk around with a manbun, eyeliner, and nail polish, and not be noticed as remotely unusual.

wish I could pull off the look, but I don't have the proper visàge :sadness:

@sun thanks!! I'm prob gonna go thru it in the next few days

like can you fucking imagine being so invested in that shit that you stan Joe fucking Biden and then Kamala fucking Harris in your one (1) microblogging profile

ugh lol sorry, I'll stop

@sun ha, I love it :blob_laughing:

I ended up going full Wordpress for the purty portions of the projects I'm developing, but will be using MkDocs for the documentation repo

@sun nice, I know what I'm reading this morning!!

@sun also love how it appears we both settled on the same "ugh I suppose I'll start keeping docs in Markdown so they're as easy to publish as possible later" strategy ... been doing that for a couple years now and it's close to paying off

this is one valid way of being, personally my approach is to cut people who would have "decorative towels" out of my life starting with my narcissistic parent,

@sun I am looking forward to this, you're publishing it? nice.

my entire underlying goal with all the fedi stuff I've been doing at sub-glacial speed for the past few years is to make it easier for people to set up and run small instances for themselves and their friends

@sun setup doc ping! :)

@sun it's been easier for me to pay for shit overseas with cryptocurrency for years at this point

@sun yeah I watched the whole thing, very good presentation

@lanodan my entire existence once I had any server to maintain again a few years ago 😑
