Depois de ler um texto do @ploum falando sobre a construção de um computador que dure 50 anos ― onde também se fala do princípio de #offlinefirst / #localfirst ―, tive ganas de criar um repertório de documentos para deixar no disco rígido para consulta rápida e sem internet.

Já baixei alguns mapas (América do Sul, Brasil, Ceará etc.) e alguns dicionários. Tentei baixar o mapa de infraestrutura da minha cidade pelo #OpenStreetMaps, mas não consegui direitinho. Penso em baixar o repositório da Wikipédia.

[L]ocal software that means software that is built close to the home and serves the needs of the home.

It’s software someone might build for themselves, their family and friends, their neighborhood and community.

It solves local problems for local people.

Maggie Appleton explains in the video what is local software, why it’s important and how the current trend of LLM-powered developer tools could enable a new generation of “barefoot developers”.

I won’t spoil you the definition of barefoot developers. The story is so great, you’ll have to watch the video to understand. You won’t regret it since the presentation is well crafted with illustrated slides.

Forget about CouchTo5k, we can do ToCouchIn5Min! :couchdb:

CouchDB Minihosting gives you a complete stack to quickly try out and host offline-first web apps:

github.com/neighbourhoodie/cou

And we made a small Svelte demo app that shows login and offline replication:

github.com/neighbourhoodie/pou

All open source, give it a try! Host your own, be independent ✌️

#Iroh is a super fascinating project in the #LocalFirst ecosystem. You always have incredible progress in roadmap briefings, and a very good codebase + docs to get folks going.

Local-first is a next-gen computing paradigm.. one of paradigms that threaten cloud and browser vendor hegemonies.

One thing is problematic in local-fist land. There are N pioneers and N sync mechanisms / protocols.

Until there's any form of common open standards track things remain too risky technology bets.

✏️ New blog: "What is Local-first Software?"

We believe that data ownership and real-time collaboration are not at odds with each other. It is possible to create software that has all the advantages of cloud apps, while also allowing you to retain full ownership of the data. We call this type of software local-first software. #localfirst

mikezornek.comWhat is Local-first Software? - Mike Zornek

does anyone know of examples of network protocols that cannot easily be specified or thought of simply as instances of 1:1 protocols?

with TCP based protocols this question seems mostly moot, since everything boils down to the connection abstraction; but maybe some protocols are more easily specified not .. that way?

or perhaps there are UDP protocols not easily specified as a bunch of instances of 1:1 protocols?

#introduction
I’ve been here a year or more, though a variety of accounts. I don’t post very much and I don’t aspire to post any certain amount. I’ve always felt young for my age but clearly aging now. While I feel like I’m a good person with interesting ideas I know that I’m a product of my environment so I’m suspicious of any strokes of genius I have.

If I were posting freely i would be talking about #linux #permaculture #permacomputing #ssb #localfirstsoftware #localfirst #parenting

Sarah Grant teaches her "Radical Networks" course again at NYU Berlin (on the picture you can see her show cool packet radio stuff) and yesterday I was invited to talk about local-first networking and p2panda as a guest.

For the students I've prepared this little tool "meshpit" you can check out here: github.com/adzialocha/meshpit/

You can run it on multiple computers (and they can be even somewhere else on the internet). If you send meshpit's UDP server some data, it'll appear on all the other machines. Like this it's possible to combine meshpit with anything else, as long as it speaks UDP.

It also supports sync, so you can catch up on past messages, ready to build your "eventual consistent" database 😛
