To be honest I'd say it's more similar to anarchism than socialism. Anarchism is voluntarist whilst socialism demands state power first. Both are ideally paths to communism* though so I'm going to say "communism" 'cause it annoys the most people.

communism as in post capitalist, post state utopia, not Stalinism*

I know a joke about UDP.

I know a joke about TCP too.

Did you get it?

What is impact engineering though? If it's it's just agile while being cognisant of technical debt over MVPs, I don't know if it's necessarily that different.

It seems the study was designed to sell a book and I can't find anything about what that book says. I should probably read it but the bait way it's being sold makes me resistant to paying to find out.

There's some weird witch hunt going on against Dessalines on there. I don't agree with him on everything, but them trying to hound him out for being a communist, whilst using software he made because he's a communist is kinda funny.

It's half way to self management.

Software exists in a world that kind of exists outside of property. Cynics like to think that Agile got big because as some kind of fad because the kids love it, but the reality is that fully hierarchical models just cannot keep up with self organising teams.

The old model - the model that most of the rest of the world of work still uses - simply cannot compete on a level playing field where the means of production (a cheap computer) are available to all. A landowner can stop you building your own house, but Microsoft can't really stop you building your own software, so they still have to put in work to collect rent.

Imagine what we could accomplish as a species if the goals and distribution of resources were also decided democratically.

Right wing free software users love from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs until you point out what it is.

Then you get whatever this lemmy-wide tantrum is.

I disagree with Dessalines about some stuff but the guy is a don.

The point would be that it's a failover. It takes about two seconds for the video here to start streaming from the webseed and that's probably just the wait for enough video to load in order to render. The standard peers don't really become load bearing until the server is struggling.

This is a good answer.

I'm not sure if I'd agree that instance to client is infeasible though. Peertube does it OK.

I wish IPFS was a solution but it's just broken. I've got goto social running on a raspberry pi on a residential connection. If I try to run IPFS, my router crashes as it seems to try and connect to every peer on the network.

I'm thinking in terms of what happens when someone on a $5 VPS hosting plan uploads a large image or small video and a thousand other instances want to grab it. The latency of a torrent isn't as much of a problem as the server falling over. This is for propogation between servers rather than when a user requests a file.

You could just have a standard peertube instance hidden away on the backend and use the peertube embed code to insert videos into your microblog and pretend the Peertube instance doesn't exist.

I've played with peertube a lot, and as long as your cross site permissions are set up correctly, you can access the player API from your host site.
