Before BitTorrent and even before LimeWire took off, there was AudioGalaxy. It was the unsung hero of peer-to-peer music discovery in the early 2000s, offering remote searching, smart filtering, and community-curated playlists. The RIAA inevitably came knocking, but those who used it still remember it as one of the slickest, smartest sharing tools of its era.

Unlike Napster, AudioGalaxy leaned heavily on decentralized file sharing, letting users build enormous libraries across connected systems. It quietly shaped how future services would think about music discovery and sharing.

#stigmerge update!

The stigmerge-peer crate has been heavily refactored into an actor-based architecture, a very CSP-like design with supervisors. i have a strong aversion to frameworks, so I implemented my own model inspired by ryhl.io/blog/actors-with-tokio/.

I still need to implement much of that advice.. Deal with backpressure, etc. but...

Last night I sent a file through successfully with share announcer, resolver, seeder and fetcher actors!

Hoping for a new major version release in the next couple of weeks. It will likely be a protocol and CLI breaking change.

ryhl.ioActors with Tokio – Alice RyhlThis article is about building actors with Tokio directly, without using any actor libraries such as Actix. This turns out to be rather easy to do, however there are some details you should be aware of:

el número de cuentas por instancias

Cada vez menos instancias, concentran la inmensa mayoría de las cuentas

No me sorprendería que la más grande de todas, de lejos, ya concentre mas del 30 o 40% de todas

Y seguimos creyéndonos que este modelo tiene futuro

Mientras no pasemos a uno verdaderamente #p2p, en cada uno de nosotros sea independiente, libre y responsable por si mismo, seguiremos con esta tendencia

I'm developing a demo app to be called to show how to use my APIs for the decentralised network.

I struggle with raw HTML, CSS & JS and am much happier with Svelte but this is going to be an app in a single HTML file so it's taken a while but the hard part is done!

Thinking about next steps has clarified what else I need in the API and how to provide a neat security model for p2p web apps!

I do love code!

What is know about these people from "1984 Group" who made the Utopia software? u.is/en/

Has anyone tested their software for claims like "no tracking" and "no telemetry" and many others alike?

Side note: they are claimed to be an anonymous group, and I was able to found some "1984 Group LP" in UK companies public registries, not more.

Have to note that the software is not an opensource project.

I've been lax at updates to the dweb REST API which now supports most data types.

Web apps can POST/GET immutable data such as files and Archives (public and private), do multipart uploads of file(s), POST/PUT/GET Pointers (mutable references to other types) and POST/PUT/GET Scratchpads which are mutable storage for encrypted or public data.

To view APIs:
- get rust
- cargo install dweb-cli
- dweb serve
In another terminal:
- dweb openapi-docs

@cunyxa , лучше #aTox (Тох-клиент для #Андроид)? Этот тоже #P2P, текстовые сообщения в офлайн ставятся в очередь и когда оба в Сети - делается доставка. По-моему, #Tox распространён даже немного лучше, чем #Jami(?) E-mail и номер телефона тоже не просит. Но в свете последних событий (#РКН) всё же выбрал #Signal - как зарегаться теперь там и другие подробности: tinyurl.com/signalpm (9kb, txt)
