User ID: 80606119  China07/13/2021 10:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just saw this, I am a programmer, and I would be interested in what you are talking about. Although I think the statement, 'there are problems' is a bit of a stretch. I don't have a PM, so I can't talk that way. Just here to have fun and blow off some steam. My focus is on python and learning. Just FYI. Internet infrastructure has always had a slap-dash feel to me and I just can't stand it. Building something that can circumvent ISP would be critical. Then the next step is something that automatically cracks down on bad actors. I have never thought about completely subverting the ISP. I knew some people that had done things similar, but never thought about a large scale implementation. Can't Stop the Signal Mal. It needs to be simple and elegant. A fun design.

User ID: 76809911 United States07/13/2021 10:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never stopped working on P2P related stuff to help decentralize communication on the internet. Quoting: BoatyMcBoatface One of the latest things I've worked on is creating a mesh of p2p tracker servers so decentralized apps no longer need to depend on the few overloaded public tracker servers. I'm trying to work out how to make servers participating in the swarm of trackers more secure for individual applications, but still allow them to share other trackers between each other. Ideally, it would be a giant globally interconnected mesh of P2P tracker servers that can be used by whatever P2P app needs it... Much more work to be done. It's fun to work on, but I need a collaborator or two... Ironically, building P2P technologies happens to be a very isolating endeavor. Probably because it isn't easy at all.  |
