decentralized textboard

I was thinking of using peerjs plus local webstorage. Is it possible?

1) offline page connects to 0.peerjs.com, gets an id to do handshakes

2) gets someone elses id (how?) and connects to it using peer.connect(id), then sets up the callbacks etc

var conn = peer.connect(peerId)

3) after locally posting something and hitting synchronize button, it "uploads" this post to other peers by sending it to them with conn.send(data). This syncs their own local copies of the textboard which exist in local web storage (actually only the changes/diffs get sent).

4) ??? Decentralized textboard!

Federated and decentralized are related but different concepts.
In decentralized every single user holds a copy of all the posts and threads.

True decentralization is impossible on the internet. Unfortunately.

Isn't that called USENET?

Lifetime Failure Award

Wearing a Calvin Klein designer necktie in defiance of any lifetime failure award, Wotnot the Nitwit sat down to sip cafea arabica and to read his Daily Intelligence Briefing a.k.a. the New York Times. On the fifth day of this year of the harebrained espiocrat, the NYT headlines cast doom and gloom. "Russian Troops Use Cellphones At Their Peril," intoned pages A1 and A7, going beyond the idea that cellphones cause cancer and MAGA Republicanism. "Football Fans Forced to Weigh Their Love for a Violent Sport," kicked off from page A1 for a touchdown on page A17 and reminded Wotnot of the day he went with Aardvark to a bullfight in Guadalajara and was at first rooting for the bull -- until the matador was gored and lay helpless on the ground. Now the stories by Kurt Street et al. in the NYT made Wotnot feel sorry for Damar Hamlin and all the football players who suffer lifelong traumatic brain injury (TBI) so that the National Football League (NFL) can earn billions of bloodthirsty dollars from their suffering. Wotnot decided to take action against the evils of football. He encoded a message for his network of agents running in the field.

USENET isn't some kind of google product now?

>>3
wouldn't that be distributed?

>>8
That's just a secondary interface.

>>10
please give usenet standalone desktop client now!

I hope you test my anus before then!

Nice meme! I laughed 5 times! Keep memeing!

Yes! I guess that's the word I meant but didn't remember it to use it.

I don't want to host my own signaling server so I was thinking of some hack for connecting people too.

Something like a contact list in which you manually place a person's identifier, and then afterwards you'll always connect to that person as you login, and you will trade/sync the posts made.

So we could "post our contact info" (meaning a unique id which is just some base64 of length n) here and talk over there, using peerjs like I've said, which is a peer to peer javascript library. The "app" would in a sense be pure js without php so it could be hosted on any website or even as a separate document on your computer/smartphone folders.

Cloudy with a chance of jail. Let's welcome our newest inmate, Donald Jailbird Trump.

Hey, Mentifex, what do you think of the idea of a distributed, peer to peer textboard?

Hey, Mentifex, what do you think of the idea of a distributed, peer to peer textboard?

It sounds like a good idea, if it is free of CENSORSHIP.

CENSORSHIP is interfering with my efforts to announce a TikTok AI video.

This video is unusual because it shows Mentifex in U.S. Army uniform as a Nuclear Weapons Electronics Specialist stationed in Germany.

Sounds pretty fun, did you already start building it?

Kind of. So far I have a peerjs chat working that I hope to turn into a peerjs textboard.
