eyedeekay I figured everybody heard about the Freenet/Locutus/Hyphanet drama
eyedeekay There are 2 Freenets now and one of them isn't anonymous(Yet? Will be? Maybe? It's not entirely clear what they intend to do), but the non-anonymous one is a rust-libp2p thing that used to be called Locutus
eyedeekay they're a whole different ballgame now
zzz eyedeekay, this sentence came out a little garbled, you may wish to get it fixed up:
zzz The whole Go language part of the ecosystem maintains the Android branch, writes some news, updates the website, and all kinds of stuff.
eyedeekay Talking about the interview? yeah there's a couple places I'm going to email them about today, it looks like the transcriber had a little trouble
zzz makes it sounds like Go people maintain our website ((
eyedeekay Yeah there's another one about halfway down where they got something like "bend the width" for bandwidth, I think I was just talking too fast
eyedeekay There are a couple more like that, I'll gather them together and ping them about it
zzz probably should ask for an edit pass on part 2 before it goes up then
dr|z3d onbiously haven't been paying enough attention, eyedeekay, never heard of the freenet/locutus split.
orignal how can you measure latency?
orignal prop 168 looks good
orignal if you don't care bandiwth then don't send this option
orignal if you run like a video hosting request bandwidth
dr|z3d orignal: you don't measure it, you assign tunnels that are requesting low latency higher priority.
eyedeekay dr|zed yeah it's a bit of a weird situation, I kind of think locutus is cool especially since being libp2p based it could adopt I2P as a transport protocol, but Locutus was not what the extant Freenet community thought of as Freenet, and the name-change from Locutus to Freenet was handled in a way the community found quite jarring to say the least
eyedeekay So after the dust settles now fred is hyphanet, locutus is freenet
dr|z3d I always thought freenet could shift to i2p for the transports and provide a plugin to handle the replicated content. Last time I looked at freenet it wasn't going anywhere, content-wise, and the console ui was absolutely abysmal.
dr|z3d that said, I'm not even sure the content replication is anything special. static content only. zeronet did replication better and supported some level of dynamic content, albeit with js.
eyedeekay fred's still like that, although you can do some dynamic content with Javascript there too under some constraints, you deliver somebody some html and some images and use javascript to manipulate as needed, I think ZeroNet might have provided some kind of API for it
dr|z3d yeah, zeronet was api driven I think. and died a few years ago.
eyedeekay Yeah there's a sort of conservancy for what remains of it now
