A bit of a milestone in #Neighbourhood-first software folks - we have a way to connect any web app to the #P2P network run by #LoRes Node.
You can read about it, and try it out here:
https://lores.tech/blog/example-chat-app/
This example chat app allows real-time communication between web users connected to any web server in the regional network. It does that by connecting to an API that we now supply to all #coopcloud apps.
The communications goes over #P2Panda, so it's delay tolerant and ready for post internet approaches. We don't yet have an example of it working over #LoRa or anything though, but the end of the article touches on next steps for that.
Long time no post, very busy times.

Oh wait. So this IS inevitably going to be, to some extent, about ecology and research. Read on.
Avant-propos. First, most of this post is not going […]

Copyright only exists for works authored by humans. Vibe-code is born in the public domain (read @pluralistic ’s book!). If you slop-code an open source thing, no you didn’t.

America's fascist secret police get their massive funding, and we are in for a world of pain in coming years. As usual, Big Journalism treats this as just another normal day, rather than what it is: another giant step toward right-wing dictatorship. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-funding-trump-congress-republicans-c395a434f47fa41a7131369847091910

@EUCommission By the way, in case you’re wondering, this means that apart from folks in Cuba and Iran not being able to use Let’s Encrypt, neither can the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese nor the ~11 International Criminal Court judges and other officials that are being persecuted for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and their efforts to bring the war criminals responsible to justice.
