Christian, Wendy, kev, nanomonkey, Dmitri and me organised this event here over the last months and finally it is happening next week at the @internetarchive in SF!

The idea is to bring people together to reflect about the last years of building peer-to-peer software and formulate ideas for the future.

https://dwebseminar.org/

* DWeb Seminar, August 13 - 15: we've invited ten researchers and developers from different p2p projects to come, cook and live together, share learnings and formulate a publication
* DWeb Weekend, August 16 - 17: Public days full of roundtable discussions, workshops, presentations and demos

Come and join us if you can! For Sunday we still have free slots for your talks and workshops.

Why #NGO and fluffy #openweb tech events should include radical real grassroots projects

If you need a working definition of the #geekproblem, it’s the habit, no, the reflex, of putting the social side of tech outside of tech. It’s the behaviour of someone sticking their head in the sand and mumbling, “That’s not my department.”It’s “I just write the code.”It’s “We’re neutral tools.”It’s “Let’s keep politics out of it.”

This isn’t just naivety, it’s a deep, culturally reinforced avoidance of responsibility. And it’s one of the key reasons why even […]

The Fediverse Is Social Tech Built by People Who Don’t Understand Community

We dig. Turn over the old soil. Question assumptions. Get honest about what’s working and what’s not. We plant. Build in the open. Share power. Let go of fear. We grow. Not towards scaling up, but spreading out, resilient, diverse, interconnected.

The Fediverse could still be a true commons. But we need to build it as one, together. Right now? Our thinking and common sense is building fenced off little kingdoms, each with its own rules, its own etiquette, and its own […]

fowl 25.7.0 is released.
https://pypi.org/project/fowl/25.7.0/

Extensively re-thought internal and external APIs, centered around giving each peer maximum control, while being safe by default.

There is now a usable Python + Twisted API for programmatic use: FowlCoop, fledge() and roost()

Coming next week: demo applications on top of this: "Git With Me" and "Shell With Me" for peer-to-peer git and terminal sharing (respectively)

We've just published a new blog post about access control in decentralised systems!

https://p2panda.org/2025/07/28/access-control.html

The post includes details about the design and implementation of our new p2panda-auth crate, along with a discussion of some of the technical challenges that arise when trying to solve access control in a decentralised context.

#p2panda #localfirst #p2p #accesscontrol #groups

A Lamport Clock diagram depicting a case of “mutual removal” involving a byzantine actor. Duck creates a new group and promotes Penguin. Penguin is a group manager and promotes Parrot to manager access level. Right afterward, Penguin changes her mind about Parrot and immediately demotes him. Parrot chooses to ignore Penguin’s demotion action. As a result, all of Parrot’s future actions are technically considered concurrent with Penguin’s demotion action. Parrot then goes on to demote all other group members, making him then single authority figure in the group. A small "devil" emoji next to Parrot marks him as a bad actor.

J'utilise gratuitement (et sans remerciement) la main d'œuvre (enfin, plutôt le cerveau d'œuvre) du fédivers.

Avez-vous un avis sur des sujets de recherche en informatique qui sont importants pour la société mais ne sont pas traités par les chercheurs actuellement ? (Je parle bien de recherche, pas de programmation et de déploiement.) IA exclue parce que c'est trop une collection de clichés.

(C'est pour la conférence Undone, je manque d'idées.)

@bortzmeyer pour moi l'angle mort c'est le #p2p j'ai été encadré par des chercheurs qui travaillaient sur les algorithmes type routage de tables de hashage distribués, c'était à la grande époque du partage de fichier en p2p et j'ai l'impression que c'est mort. Y'a eu un revival avec ipfs qui meurt aussi mais le modèle client serveur semble avoir triomphé partout.

This weekend wraps a replatforming of the #stigmerge CLI onto a high level #filesharing API. A necessary step towards a #Transmission like interface. Experimenting with #tauri now.

A few bug fixes happened as well :)

https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge/releases/tag/stigmerge-v0.5.7

Need to fix #rust docs.rs, they're not building yet 🤦

@pancake every post, comment and like in the social network is #e2ee thanks to #DeltaChat, the container super-app, but if you want forward-secrecy-secure ephemeral #p2p communications inside a Delta Chat chat, there is the "Live Chat" mini-app in the store (IRC style plus /me and "foo is typing..." support!!)
