   I've posted this before, but it may be of interest to any new folks. Clueless tech journos take note. Kleiner makes a good point about federated groupware versus peer-to-peer. Long term, I think he's right. i.e. that P2P is the only thing which truly scales. But short term the client/server paradigm probably isn't going to go away soon and most software is written in that mode.

     @nepfag it could happen if there's a mysql compatible database system which is distributed. I'm not aware of the existence of any such database at the present time.
     
     Also note that in the context of IPFS, "server" doesn't really make much sense.
