    This looks awesome. I spent a lot of years on the stereo vision and SLAM problems, and this product is exactly what I was discussing about building with people at CMU over a decade ago.

    At the time the CPU power was still not quite there, camera sync was still tricky and the SLAM algorithms were still somewhat experimental.

    A lot of people give Hannes shit for the problems Qvitter has but I for one appreciate the effort that went into making it and he has definitely paid a lot of care and attention to it, it shows in the code.

    Hannes's Qvitter CSS is fucking beautiful.  I wish more app developers cared about writing sensible and well-structured CSS.

    @elizafox @deadsuperhero I think Freenode used to block Tor, although I don't know if it still does. That's a silly policy, out of step with modern times. Personally, I'm more interested in running your own independent networks anyway. That's what the !Freedombone project is about.

    @deadsuperhero @elizafox IRC is easier to run over Tor and if you also install a bouncer then you can have per-user authentication. That's the way it works on !Freedombone, such that the IRC server is only accessible through the bouncer.

    It's really weird trying to convince a #Mastodon user from my account on #GS, that its obvious Mastodon users can follow GS users.

    The counter-argument to Kleiner's point about federated groupware is that each year the cost and complexity of running a server falls. Any cheap single board ARM computer is potentially a home server. At some point userops becomes a no-brainer, and this is essentially what the FreedomBox, Freedombone, ArkOS and related projects are all about.

    A key point made by Dmytri Kleiner in "You can't code away their wealth" is that the scaling properties of federated groupware and P2P are completely opposite.

    With federated groupware the more users you have the more contention there is and the higher the maintenance costs become. With P2P as each user joins they actually add new resources to the network, making it faster and with higher storage capacity and failure tolerance.

    @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.

    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.

    Nice to see @cwebber on gnusocial. Maybe he was already but I just hadn't noticed. It only took me a few years to figure out how to install it, but !Freedombone now does support Mediagoblin.

    @strypey The Freedombox type of arrangement. You have a box which is your server or maybe a router/server combo and at most you maybe have a few other users on it, and then you federate with the rest. This is actually what I'm doing now, and so I don't need captchas and can control signups quite easily.

    @maiyannah @rysiek Honestly, Pump itself is a garbage prototype running on hyped technologies (Node + MongoDB). It has been unmaintained for years, and the few contributions it does get are incredibly infrequent. The app is just plain bad all around.

    The real value of the thing is ActivityPub, which I have yet to see implemented in the wider fediverse. I'm still waiting to see what comes out of cwebber's involvement with W3C SocialWG and #Mediagoblin.

    @strypey it's a difficult problem to which I don't think there's jet a good solution. Upvoting or downvoting of comments is one possibility. Another might be to keep the number of users on servers small so that more cost is shifted to the spammer and their activity becomes less economical.
