I'm curious, is there a strong #SSB community in #Czechia?
or for that matter, is there a strong SSB community like, anywhere?

because ideologically speaking, I consider SSB to be far superior to Activitypub, like a strong and healthy SSB network will likely be better in many ways. but the network effect working against SSB is *so much stronger* than with the Fediverse, which is essentially the only reason I'm posting it on Mastodon and not on #Manyverse.

Although a lot of the P2P attention and energy attracted by SSB has moved to Nostr (eg the Planetary team pivoting to nos.social), the dominant cultures of the 2 networks remain very different (SolarPunk vs. CryproBro).

Anyone lurking here with a window into the current state of Scuttlebutt? I have questions.

1) How many SSB apps are in active development?

2) How many of these apps are usable as beta tester? As a daily driver?

I'd like to introduce myself: I am an #electricalengineer that makes #opensourcehardware projects. You can find them on my github at github.com/profdc9 .

First , an #amateurradio transceiver that can be built from improvised parts github.com/profdc9/RFBitBanger. Modes: #morse code, #SSB or a low bandwidth #digimode SCAMP I created which features #ForwardErrorCorrection . A #QSO TODAY 2023 talk on it youtube.com/watch?v=Fbgs_4QsKn . openresearch.institute/ as well for info.

Request: please help me find a grant

I have a friend who is most of the way done making an open source app that handles supply chain interactions without centralization. It uses a SSB backend so there aren’t any central servers and it’s not crypto. There’s no angle for him to get rich doing this, it’s just a good idea that he wants to exist in the world. Written in Clojure.

Current code: github.com/nanomonkey/scratch

"content producers would need a real data vault and again they also require static web hosting to enable end users to visit news in a browser only."

As data is just data, people could visit the content on a federated web based #ActivityPub or a #dat based application on desktop or mobile.

As a said before we are not interested in privacy as this is a CC open media project - from the video we are talking about #SSB being pulled out (it would not of worked after talking to them anyway, and it's a dying project) and dropping in #dat to replace it.

So with the understanding that privacy is not a core issue, tell us how we would bridge #dat to a ActivityPub base web instance?

#dat might be a useful tool for radical decentralising tech and data storage based on flows?

Every time I try to think about how to solve various peer to peer communication issues, I mentally reinvent secure #scuttlebutt.

Except there are thing I might change about #ssb to make it a bit lighter. For public messages, I'd give them all IDs starting with zero and just counting upwards. I could ask what the latest ID was and fetch the X most recent with a modification date newer than Y. All of the messages would just be signed with a public key. If the poster deleted a message, the content becomes "[deleted]" and the modification date is updated. This still relies on good behaviour from clients, but to a lesser degree.
For private messages, they'd be encrypted with pgp for the receiver. And still just in the list because mesh networking.

The major problem is follower-only posts which would become some sort of nightmare of the same post re-encrypted for every follower with some sort of horrible, similar thing to replying to it.

Anyway, in my 20s I wanted to wrote some sort of cms for house shares, to manage chores, a calendar, and messaging, but a web interface was always just too much. I keep still thinking about how to solve this problem and I've pivoted to an app that syncs to people nearby. Which I will never write.
