Last p2p lecture is tonight (10.12.) at 19:00! 🙀
We'll continue talking about access control / permission handling and other things like key agreement / group encryption which is useful for shared nodes.
And since this is the last session I hope we also just have some time to reflect, discuss and gather more things we didn't cover so far.

Offer an alternative Vision
Cloud first → #LocalFirst
Always online → #OfflineFirst
Client/Server → #PeerToPeer
Centralised → #Distributed
ACID → BASE
And while you can make money, clearly nothing like corporate money… Not saying no profits, but not the ongoing exuberant profits of rent seeking cloud racketeers
But I know there is a niche for tools like these made by individuals. Humane tools made by humans for humans
The only way #FOSS, #Indies, #Small, or #DownToEarth to beat #TheCloud and/or #LLM #FauxAI is by getting amazingly at designing & implementing useful #LocalFirst, #OfflineFirst tools
With proper multi-client zero-conf peer-to-peer capabilities (when it makes sense)
(With ideally mathematically proven correct BASE consistency model fit for purpose)
Tools which are absolutely *nothing* like any commercial products (nor contain monstrosities like forever-growing write-only blockchain cancers)
Of course we forgot to take more meaningful photos, but yesterday’s Intro to Local First at @xpub it was super interesting and insightful 💡
Thanks @tbernard and @p2panda ❤️
We were surprised and glad that @KingmaYpe discovered the event via the Fediverse and joined us, giving us an insight on Local-First and private Smart Meter measurements 👀
Local storage (or SMB mounted remote) and Music never worked out for me. Glad I can finally listen to my giant local music library conveniently.
Why has making apps got so complex? Why doesn't a no-code local-first super-app builder exist for non-developers? Could it be all for concentrating power and money in the hands of a few? Or is that overly simplistic?! ;-)

Interesting read about #authentication and #authorization in #localfirst #p2p software.
I still have a few more alternatives to review, but the library @localfirst/auth could be a good option.

Một lập trình viên đã tạo ra DraftBook, công cụ mã nguồn mở giúp đơn giản hóa việc viết sách. Anh ấy gặp khó khăn với các công cụ phức tạp, nên DraftBook tập trung vào việc ghi lại ý tưởng nhanh chóng và tổ chức dễ dàng. Dữ liệu hoàn toàn thuộc về bạn, hoạt động cục bộ và không có AI. Một không gian viết tập trung, không phân tâm!

Zapo - công cụ quản lý bí mật (secrets manager) cục bộ mới, được thiết kế cho các nhà phát triển cá nhân và dự án nhỏ. Zapo loại bỏ rắc rối khi quản lý API keys/file .env, không yêu cầu thiết lập phức tạp, tập trung vào bảo mật và kiểm soát hoàn toàn trên máy cục bộ. An toàn với AES-256. Rất tiện lợi cho các side project!

I am pondering #decentralization (I like to tag #decent9n), considering that there may be no overlap between #federated tech, #localFirst, and #blockchain, though all are #decentralized, per se.

New post from me over on the @spritely blog: Composing capability security and conflict-free replicated data types
Local-first apps often use CRDTs, but I'm not really aware of any that fully embrace capability security. This post is an attempt to show how the two can be composed using a simple group chat application as a case study.
Ever look at your life and think “wtf is this”? 🤪
Perfice looked at my data and said: “You’re not cursed - you’re just running on 3 hours of sleep and pure delusion.”
Perfice is a local-first, open-source self-tracking app that shows how your sleep, mood, habits, and daily chaos actually connect.
No cloud uploads.
No creepy analytics.
Just you and your uncomfortable truths.

Second last time! 🚨
Next p2p lecture will be this Wednesday (26.11.) 19:00 in @offline!
After talking about sync protocols and base convergent data-types we're looking now into what we can do with them to build fully featured local-first applications with access control, collaboration and more.

LLM APIs are a Synchronization Problem | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
"There’s a whole ecosystem that has dealt with this kind of mess before: the local-first movement. Those folks spent a decade figuring out how to synchronize distributed state across clients and servers that don’t trust each other, drop offline, fork, merge, and heal. Peer-to-peer sync, and conflict-free replicated storage engines all exist because “shared state but with gaps and divergence” is a hard problem that nobody could solve with naive message passing. Their architectures explicitly se..."

Thursday December 4 at 17:00 we are welcoming @tbernard to XPUB studio (Wijnhaven 61, Rotterdam) to talk about the state of the emergent local-first and peer-to-peer collaboration ecosystem 👀
🧑💻 After the introduction, we are going to play with Reflection, the GTK-based collaborative text editor he’s developing together with @p2panda 🐼
🆓 Participation is open and free!

Vanaras - framework AI agent mã nguồn mở, ưu tiên chạy cục bộ, dành cho nhà phát triển. Nó cho phép AI agent gọi công cụ, dùng FAISS cho bộ nhớ, RAG trên code, chạy trong sandbox an toàn, hỗ trợ workflow DAG và hoạt động offline với Ollama. Một giải pháp thay thế cho Flowise/LangFlow, tập trung chỉnh sửa code an toàn tại chỗ.
