Publishing a webpage in #picotron 0.3 by dragging it into podnet ~ each user has write and listing permission for podnet://{userid}/*
@zep this is public on the internet? I would imagine there's some rules for abuse?
@Yuki @zep oh boy.

@Ronflaix @Yuki
It's public, yes -- I think there is a huge opportunity to carve out a cosy pocket of internet. But that could backfire.

in terms of content it will come under the same terms as the BBS (which will be expanded a little for 0.3). Security-wise, podnet.lexaloffle.com is treated like a public object storage bucket, and will likely have a different domain name.

@zep @Yuki I think more than security, moderation is going to take a lot of effort, energy and time. I'm not sure how you'd be able to keep an eye on podnet while doing anything else if it gets bigger than expected.
@Ronflaix @zep I would imagine there would be a way one can report an offending item to the moderation team, at the very least

@Yuki @Ronflaix

yes, there will certainly need to be new reporting tools in future. The thing is, the BBS is already a huge vector for potential abuse, and will be moreso when podnet:// and scoresub become available (which I think will be worth it in the long term).

So even though making podnet publish-able will add to moderation load, I think it will be a relatively small additional source of headaches. In for a penny, in for a pound.

@zep this looks great, will it be limited to html? i feel like this would be perfect for picoml & piconet pages (a custom markup language & lua-based browser in pt)
@astralsparv it's for any type of file at all (that is smaller than 256k) so picoml/piconet is a perfectly good way to use it :)
I imagine it will also be useful for things like storing/sharing snippets, posting custom levels (or puzzle solutions) for games with editors, and as binary blobs that scoresub entries can point to etc -- basically a low level strata for messing around with reinventing a cute internet for kicks
@zep perfect, perfect..... will you be able to ls() the podnet protocol?
Been wondering about a version of the picotron wiki on podnet and this would technically make it better since a pod database is required for the wiki (for the wiki cart)
@astralsparv there is, but only for your own folder: Inside podnet://my_id, it functions like a clunky WebDAV server to allow managing files. Outside of the user folder it is more like a regular http server.
