will this sure is gonna go well :sarcmark:

it almost feels like when Google+ got shoved into every google product because someone had a bee in their bonnet

flipside, I guess, is that we’ll soon (at scale!) get to start seeing just how far those ideas can and can’t scale

    It's not a nightmare, but I've yet to succeed. npm2nix and node2nix struggle. napalm puts up a good effort, but doesn't quite work either. The biggest sticking point right now is that cjb used a custom DHT implementation with some patches, and I've gotta integrate that somehow.

    I will be overjoyed if somebody else writes a working Nix flake. I've tried three times so far, and I bet it'll take five total.

      I might give gittorrent a closer look as soon as some of my time frees up. packaging complex node stuff for Nix is always a bit of a pain, but it’s a pain I’m now very familiar with

      e:

      A method for registering friendly usernames on Bitcoin's blockchain, so that a written username can be used to find a user instead of an ugly hex string.

      ugh I hate this part, but hopefully there’s a way to do something like what Mastodon and Lemmy do for external identity verification
