Yep, CPU scheduler is the correct answer. Id recommend reading this arch wiki on it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/improving_performance
Hey I’m very interested in new chat protocols/methods/paradigms. I wrote an anonymous chat app called Discreetly in the fall to experiment with anonymous groups and interactions.
Want to DM me? Would love to get on a call
Ok, we are talking in circles, you have your opinions, I have mine. If you want to talk about this over voice at any point, let me know, I don’t think text is going to get anywhere, and Lemmy has a pretty strong bias against crypto (which I understand, but obviously disagree with)
Which is a whole lot of extra engineering that is already taken care of with a blockchain. Whether social networks should forget your username/registration is a different debate.
But there’s no global consensus, it’s not trustless, and smart contracts unlock a lot of additional composable capabilities.
I understand, don’t get me wrong, 99% of stuff in crypto is hot garbage, but having a global database that isn’t controlled by any one (or even dozen) entities is pretty powerful. The 2 guys that started farcaster could quit, or get hit by a bus, or decide it’s not profitable enough and pivot, but at least you have control over your profile still. If reddit was decentralized more, they wouldn’t be able to shut down their APIs for 3rd party clients.
Trust me I understand the criticism of block chains, but if we want open source and the internet to thrive and not be controlled by companies, we need a global layer that is neutral.
Those are different design choices that have different trade offs, I didn’t make these decisions, I’m just explaining how it is
Farcaster uses decentralized hubs and multiple clients, if you want global usernames you need a global db
Your article is a pretty reasonable and fair evaluation of farcaster, but then your post saying crypto/web3 is “mostly really dumb and bad” is not very nuanced. I know a lot of people on Lemmy don’t like crypto, and that’s what’s in the meta right now, but if you are going to give something a fair shake, give it a fair shake, don’t just anticipate backlash for covering a crypto topic and preface it with “it’s mostly really dumb and bad”. Ya there are a lot of scams, and a lot of bullshit projects, but there is a core of really useful infrastructure there, which farcaster is using for self sovereign account registration/ownership.
Pretty sure they are talking about “plastic deformation” which is a term in materials science for when something is under the right conditions and force is applied, it bends instead of breaks or springs back.
I also think it’s probably a good idea to try out the new career path. Doing software dev as a job, and doing it as a hobby because you like to, are very different when it comes to motivations and goals. Don’t think of it as walking away and just being a lowly hobby dev though, you can build your skills and work on what you want to as a hobby, for the problems you are trying to solve and things you like to work on, and that’s totally ok.
Not everyone wants to put in the effort to play guitar for a living, but you can definitely still enjoy guitar.
Definitely both
This is some people after Adderall
Discreetly https://github.com/discreetly/
It’s a federated anonymous chat system.
In alpha now. We will be pushing some big updates over the next few weeks.
We broke a bunch of endpoints last night but it should be back up by the end of the week. If you want to try it out DM me for an invite code.
You are my people
I will quote the devs directly: “This Verifier is not “a man in the middle”. Instead, the Verifier participates in a secure multi-party computation (MPC) to jointly operate the TLS connection without seeing the data in plain text.”
Its a bit more complicated than that. There is a fair bit of cryptography that happens where you basically cooperate with another party to communicate with the server in a way where you cant cheat.
FYI its in rust, and its very much in alpha, but if you like diving in and are comfortable with rust, come play 😁
He might have been epsteined though
