evbogue commented on My 2026 Open Social Web Predictions   timothychambers.net/2025/... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

The article is OK albeit unaware of what is happening on the NOSTR world so I'll take the liberty of making some predictions related to NOSTR:

1) Blossom grows even more and defacto replaces IPFS for decentralized file distribution

2) Open Social goes beyond text and decentralized video, docs, meetings, calendars become easily available with several implementations sharing a common NOSTR protocol underneath for accounts and communication, see https://iris.to/ as first example

3) True P2P social web is achieved. Forget about servers or clouds, each cellphone becomes its own data center and cellphones talk with other using P2P techniques

What strategy will Nostr use to achieve true P2P social?

Curious why you believe it was broken, and is now fixed. What new development are you referring to? I agree that Patchwork kinda took a dive, and functionality started to bitrot with each new maintainer...but it still replicates feeds.

as a side note, nano do you still have a working pub with all of the historical data on it?

I couldn't get any of their latest versions working. The ssb-server was still functioning, but had no working client that I could find. https://github.com/evbogue/ssbc is a working fork with a patchbay lite client from circa 2015/16 live at https://ssb.evbogue.com/ (with git-ssb!). I'm also recreating pfrazee's original Phoenix client from scratch.

Let's talk more on a more appropriate channel. Are you on bsky? we're having a small discussion there about "bringing open source projects back from the dead with AI" right now.

I was surprised to see this on the HN homepage, I didn't create Tyr but I did create Yggmail (https://github.com/neilalexander/yggmail) which it is based on. There is no store-and-forward as such, the sending node will keep the message in its outbox and will keep retrying until the destination is online.

Tyr is probably overkill with Deltachat on top of yggdrasil. The network already is encrypted so it's fine to send plaintext emails as long as there's no 3rd party email hubs.

Very cool. How does this deal with offline recipients? Do the messages just get dropped, or does Yggdrasil somehow store and deliver them?
evbogue · a month ago
back in the day a few of us used to run ssb (secure-scuttlebot) over yggdrasil (and cjdns before that) and that system would distribute the private messages to all of the peers within 3 hops. offline peers would just sync up when online and then decrypt the messages sent to them.

ssb's been broken for around five years, but now that it's working again it'd be fun try this experiment again.

2026 could be the year mesh networks finally take off!

Nostr is append only, if an event is published to someone else's relay, you can't delete it.

oh yes, i get that about nostr. my question relates to updating the website.

if i have 5 pages, which i publish to nostr using this tool, and then i make a small change to one of the pages, do i then need to create and publish the entire project again?

How does this handle changes to the website. Is the entire website re-uploaded to a Nostr relay, or is there some re-use of old material that's already been uploaded before?

I'm confused as to why you need a "safe" version if you're the one generating and injecting the HTML.
evbogue · 2 months ago
Why should a web page only have a single person generating and injecting HTML into it?

Much of what is described in the article can be accomplished with content addressable storage.

If we develop an internet where links describe the integrity of a file then we don't have to worry about the content changing out from underneath us. Additionally we get the benefit of being able to distribute the files we depend on anywhere.

Why make a map of hashes that correspond to human readable file urls, when we can directly link to hashes?
