I've been reading more about #Dat ( https://docs.datproject.org/ ) ... I see a hard dependency on #Node.JS, which has lessened my interest quite a bit.

@lnxw48a1 It's a very cool project.

But I am biased, as I have met some of the people involved, and it's sort of SSB-adjacent.

@clacke Speaking of SSB, what's the relationship with gitmx? http://gitmx.com/

@lnxw48a1 Everything around ssb is pretty loose organization-wise. I don't know much about the gitmx people, but I think they're sort of an autonomous fringe.

http://evbogue.com/decent/ is a social network distinct from Patchwork, but still on top of ssb. I think. There's some deliberate demarcation between networks, but I don't know if that's on the ssb level or the application level.

The domain name gitmx.com used to be a git-ssb front-end. Seems it isn't anymore.

@clacke The whole ssb thing is in my 'try this' queue. I've just had little time + energy + bandwidth recently.

@clacke @lnxw48a1 how does it compare to ipfs - if this question even makes sense.

@beni @clacke I haven't yet used either Dat or #IPFS, but the #Dat site offers this: https://docs.datproject.org/faq#dat-vs

Wut? I thought #DigitalAudioTape was a failed technology from the 1990s, and haven't seen references to #SingleSideBand since the #CBRadio days. Or perhaps we ran out of #TLAs in 2010, and we're just recycling the unused ones. @lnxw48a1 @clacke #Dat #SSB

@bobjonkman @lnxw48a1 One of the drawbacks of having experience -- old TLAs coming back to haunt us. :-)

I actually find #ssb reusing the old radio initialism quite appropriate. The feeling of the decentralized social network is rather HAM-radio-like.

@lnxw48a1 There's a custom Chromium browser that uses Dat and allows users to publish websites that are accessible via Dat. It seems pretty cool.
What issues do you have with #nodejs?

@bthall I don't want dependencies on poorly-understood server software, especially for something that wouldn't be the main purpose for the computer.

That's the sort of thing that is guaranteed to go out of date and become exploitable.
