freenet-core VS surrealdb

I just picked Dioxus to build a decentralized homepage for Freenet[1], it will be the first decentralized website people see when they get Freenet set up. It reminds me a bit of my Kotlin web framework called Kweb[2] that I've been working on on-and-off for a few years now, particularly the way it handles state and the DSL that maps from code to HTML. So far I like what I see.

I find that surprising, even in 2010 it was difficult to find illegal content on Freenet unless you were looking at it - and certainly in recent years it's virtually impossible, the default indexes are carefully vetted.

In any case, the original Freenet was never going to be a general-purpose replacement for today's centralized services. For the past few years we've been working on a sequel to Freenet, you can learn about it at https://freenet.org/.

MaidSAFE appears to be just another IPFS which you can pay to get your data hosted on.

HyperCore apparently got acquired and they are a company seeling solutions to businesses.

Freenet 2023 is a FOSS project. I'm watching the matrix server for a while. Ian says they're launching the network in 2 weeks. It is a decentralized data store + runtime. So while the original Freenet was analogous to disk, Freenet 2023 is analogous to an entire computer. See https://freenet.org/

I loved playing around with Gemini. Something loosely along those lines can definitely work. Who knows what will become popular in the future. Extreme web page bloat leaves the door open.

Here are a couple of other alternative ideas for the web:

I think cryptography is a decentralizing force in general, though its intersection with ML is small, Also, related things, steganography, differential privacy, federated learning, all things that tend to decentralize. Anonymizing text fingerprint with LLMs, ML-ish censor evading algo , possibility of a decentralized vector database

Through a variety of mechanisms that you can read about here.

This Friday we will be hosting an AMA with Ian Clarke (/u/sanity) the creator of FreeNet and the recently announced FreeNet 2023.

you should add https://surrealdb.com -- basically an open source firebase. and they will launch a paid cloud offering soon.

In this article, I have shared how I have built a simple task-tracking full-stack application using NextJS and SurrealDB.

In this article, I'll show you how you can create a binary package for your desired program. I wanted to download the SurrealDB package, but the package on nix was a source package, meaning that I had to spend over 50 minutes waiting for a stupid package to compile.

Get Cloud Version going!

SurrealDB comes with a LIVE SELECT statement that allows you to listen for creations, updates and deletions to specific records you are interested in or entire tables. While you could already take advantage of this powerful feature with our JavaScript SDK or WebSockets, the Rust SDK added an API for it in v1.1.0. ​ The Rust API for live queries builds on top of the already existing select method by simply adding a live method which converts the select query into a live select one. It works seamlessly with our current API, so you can use it with single records, a range of records, or entire tables. Unlike the normal select method which returns either a single result or a vector of results, it returns a stream of notifications. This works for the WebSocket engine and the local ones (the key value stores you can embed in your app). The only engine not yet supported is the HTTP one. ​ In this article, we show some examples of running live queries via the Rust SDK. We will skip imports for brevity but your IDE and/or the Rust compiler should give you the correct suggestions. Please refer to this example in our repo for a full, working example. ​

1.0 version but https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/issues/1548 is still open :)

In the midst of a dynamic landscape of exciting new projects, one name shines bright — SurrealDB.
