I think I finally have this thing complete - the paper is live hosted on a little test node, also lives as README.md on the GitHub.

In what universe does "kernfilepizza" sound like a legit tech solution?
GitHub's new "revolutionary" feature brings back the 2003 #nostalgia of peer-to-peer sharing, with an added twist: now you can brag about it in your browser!
Expect more #buzzwords than actual functionality.

Peer-to-peer energy trading + cheap solar & storage = millions of people lifted out of energy poverty.

Peer-to-peer energy in developing nations

It’s estimated that globally 1.18 Billion people are living in energy poverty and 700 Million are living with no electricity at all. [1] Many of them are in rural areas with no chance of ever getting connected to a mains (Fossil Fuel) grid because the electricity/maintenance would be just too expensive. Enter peer-to-peer energy trading technology, coupled with cheap solar and storage. A technology that has the potential to lift millions out of energy poverty, especially those living in equatorial regions.
Established in 2015, SOLshare, in Bangladesh, has developed one of the world’s first solar peer-to-peer energy exchange platforms, allowing households with rooftop solar home systems to trade excess electricity in real-time. This technology enables users to become both producers and consumers of electricity, enhancing energy access in areas where traditional grid infrastructure is lacking.
The SOLshare platform is comprised of three key elements
SOLshare’s initiative has significantly improved energy access for rural communities in Bangladesh, where approximately 60 million people still lack reliable electricity. Some of these communities have never had access to reliable electricity. By enabling households to monetise their excess solar energy, SOLshare not only addresses energy poverty but also empowers local economies by allowing individuals to earn income through energy trading.
The company’s technology exemplifies the benefits of a shift towards decentralised and sustainable energy solutions. The Fossil Fuels industry to this day claims that renewables can’t power the world, but if history has taught us anything it’s centralised Fossil Fuels can’t power poorer regional areas. While this technology is most applicable in rural areas it can be deployed in cities to help combat blackouts and rising electricity costs.
There are other similar initiatives happening in the developing world. I touched on another initiative in Africa in this article HERE. Also in Cambodia Okra Solar are deploying something very similar which they call a Mesh Grid. It can be quickly deployed, and in this case below, redeployed when needed. Someting that is increasingly important when it comes to Climate Change adaptation.

You can see other projects that Okra Solar are deploying around the world here: https://www.okrasolar.com/category/case-studies
It’s not just the developing world that can benefit from this type of Solar Micro Grid. In Australia remote communities that are currently dependent on diesel generators are now being powered by Solar and Batteries. These towns would also benefit from the addition of peer-to-peer energy trading as a way to save money and build more resilience into their micro grids. https://reneweconomy.com.au/horizon-slashes-diesel-use-with-solar-and-battery-microgrids-for-remote-towns/
Solar and Storage will 100% power equatorial regions, and beyond, in the the future. It will be cheaper and more reliable. It will allow for more energy independence and will dramatically reduce emissions. We just need to hit the accelerator pedal and get deploying these projects faster so they can benefit from economies of scale.

Some time ago, I had started working on a GitHub Action that would mirror my code from #GitHub -> #Radicle .
It couldn't work at the time, so all I got was a very stale PR ...
2+ years later, PR #22 has been resurrected and merged !
With it, any new contributions to https://github.com/gsaslis/greek-names-in-software will be automagically mirrored to the #peer2peer #radicle network!
Next up: convert this to a reusable #GitHub #Action, to make re-use easier and write some docs, of course! ;)
Watch this space!
At the crossroad of life and technology, I had the pleasure of joining the Hersh Repun podcast as a guest!

We dove into the fundamentals of blockchain, addressed common misconceptions, and highlighted the importance of ownership and value in our digital age. I also shared my personal brand journey and lifestyle insights, offering practical tips for those just starting out with blockchain.
Currently back to my #obsession with #peer2peer. It comes back sometimes but this time I hope I don't burn out haha.
Feeling like I could dedicate my life to the cause of #open internet.
My current idea that I haven't seen well executed is to
1. REALLY translate #irl connections to the #web and vice versa. It should be easier and freeier to make friends online AND translate that to real life.
2. Make it #copyleft. No reason to #closesource.
Looking at #nostr rn
I get the core idea now and these issues I had make better sense now. Welp... I will use it with my friends then and some hardcore communities that care about local and private #internet.
That also means I am still seeking a trully #peer2peer solution that connects strangers.

How do you feel about the option to download source code archives and binary distributions of open source software over Bittorrent?
Because I had the idea to distribute my free and open source software over Bittorrent as an alternate way while also making them resilient.
The source code archives and binaries will have checksums and be GPG-signed for integrity and authenticity.
KCLO: Peer-to-Peer Lernformate wie Telekom LEX, DATEV wDw & Co
Nach dem Siegeszug von internen Barcamps als Peer-to-Peer Lernformat etablieren sich Learning-Sessions ohne feste Tage zu einem Trend. Telekom’s LEX und DATEV’s wDw sind zwei bekannte Beispiele. Außerdem beginnt der herbstliche Teil der Event-Saison 2024 und es gibt einen Workhack zu persönlichem Wissensmanagement mit Apple Notizen.
