Let's decentralize the internet

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.

I've never stopped working on P2P related stuff to help decentralize communication on the internet.

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.

That’s what some crypto currencies are trying to achieve. Think Cardano is one of them.

The minute you stated web aps and trackers, I got a laugh. I block all trackers all the time. You are not going to find much of a crowd out there with the compute/storage power to do any good. On a single web page, I get one hell of a lot of traffic, combine that with a lot of other users and it is a burden.
Great idea, just not gonna work.

You’re a good dude, so I find no joy in saying this.
There will be no free internet in a very short time.
Do you know how to weld?

i want to lean in this direction

digital identity is a human right that should go above any agency or company.

we need to manage our own agency.

i think tim berners lee at inrupt.com has a good model.

China is asshole

Wow, I am not a country dumb@ss.

I also know more about the firewall than almost anyone but the builders of it... Well and maybe some facebook employees. LOL.

You wouldn't know anything about selling your soul for financial stability though would you.

I can say that I have NEVER done anything I find morally objectionable or even suspicious for a personal paycheck.

Though you didn't offer to help.

AC's I'm not hating on you. I just don't trust you. Sign up, and we can chat.

I've been developing software since the late 80s up until the present so I have a good understanding of how networks and applications run on them but I haven't done any p2p development.

I knew it.

Just another scheme to turn us into blue names.
