It doesn't mention "tracker" anywhere and only mentions "bittorrent" once.
Please consider people who:
know nothing about the project
don't care about who you are
have under 5 minutes (most likely 1 minute) to be intrigued
are not necessarily technically inclined
Ask yourselves who the target audience is and maybe even state it on your webpage.
Lastly, it's probably too late to change the name and it's a matter of taste, but making it a homonym to PsyOp make me immediately think that this has a connection to anti-vaxxers, chemtrail believers, flat-earthers, illuminati freaks, and just conspiracy theorists in general.
Maybe I'm the only one thinking this, but as it currently exists, the project feels very much like the old-school C projects that assumed you were "in the know" before even arriving at the website or project. It does not make it inviting - at least not to me. It may be a completely false impression, but it is my impression nonetheless.
That company really is good at marketing. And their customers will parrot their ads and marketing to you all the time. "No, they care about privacy!", "They are climate-neutral!", "They have the most secure devices on the planet!", and so on. Whatever the company says is gospel at this point.
The joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn't that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.
I've been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).
This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I'm also just a recluse 🤷
I don't know of a tutorial, but most tools have to have support for I2P built in, otherwise they won't work. A good torrent client that does is qBittorrent.
Browsing I2Ps network with HTTP happens over a SOCKS5 proxy, so if aria supports that, you can use it too. https://geti2p.net/ should have more information.
I would then encourage you to look up how those work and what proof of work actually is. Proof of work requires some work to be done by the client. If you want regular people to browse the internet normally and "do work", that means JavaScript, otherwise it requires them to install an extra binary like TOR or something, which would lock out most of real users. I imagine that's not the goal of site operators.
There must be a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.). Does that not exist? After 20 years of these systems existing, somebody must've tried...
Also, it's clear that once again, open source needs some kind of funding model, because it's a little crazy that a project like this can get so popular so fast, the dev flooded with praise, thanks, and issues but not money to maintain and develop it.
How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it's not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I'm curious how you would implement a system without JS.
Companies are already resisting because they can't figure out a good way to interview people. "We tried nothing and are all out of ideas". Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.
MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it's out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.
I didn't expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn't know because I'm on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn't found until now.
I like the concept. It helps with not having to rewrite the same stuff over and over again. It's like a package registry. Whether it's implemented well is debatable of course and it's understandable you don't like it.
The only good thing about Github Actions is the "marketplace" or that you can publish and find actions. The rest is just... not the way I'd do CI. I'm so glad I don't have to touch that anymore. Only thing worse than Github CI is Jenkins. Shudder
Thank you for sharing Post Open. I like that idea. We need a solution to companies just leeching off of opensource projects and not contributing back. It looks like a good initiative.
@jonny@neuromatch.social I want to like this, but the repo and website do not convey this fundamental information about the project
The repository only has deployment notes.
The webpage has:
