In late 2019 I stuck a raspberry pi and e-paper display in a picture frame and made it show my upcoming travel plans. Now it is just blank. What should I use it for now?

But there's still centralization at some level. TCP? Maybe even HTTP?

Not really...? I can send a TCP packet from my home to my office and only the routers in between need to know about it

Thanks for digging deeper! The "network" centralization is actually pretty much expected though?

I realize that certain applications require a global centralized network state, but many others do not! True decentralization should mean that I can talk to someone else without anyone else knowing that's happening.

I did look around and couldn't find any mentions of those on any easily searchable docs. Where is this stuff described? I don't even see any reference to that on the main page about it https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/vision/

I stand corrected, I finally found an explicit reference: https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/#clients

"The community maintains multiple open-source clients, developed by different teams using different programming languages."

That's great, so at least it's only centralized on the network state.

Please do your own research before posting messages like this. It's all public. Ethereum has several "node" clients in its 1.x version (geth, parity, erigon...) And an explicit goal of 2.0 was to have actually at least 6.

What monoculture are you referring to? As someone who's part of that ecosystem, i can guarantee it's a lot more diverse than the orders of magnitude larger than the indieweb one for example...

Are there more than one implementation of the e*t*h protocol? As far as I can tell everyone participating in the network is expected to run the same source code.

Not sure that sounds like a great protocol for patching exploit bugs. "I'm sorry, we can't patch log4j until the votes are counted"
It's also not what happens in practice in cryptocurrency circles either. See the 2013 bitcoin accidental fork, for example.

This is one of the most important aspects of Web 2.0 that web3 advocates have tried to retcon. That generation also started with optimistic creators talking about decentralized, user-owned, open protocols (open standards, even!) that would empower people. Guess how it played out.

It's almost like the technology isn't the problem ... 🤔🤯

One of the smaller things that grates about the crypto push is its boosters just unilaterally redefining “web 2.0” to mean “the big platforms like Facebook and Google”. It didn’t mean that! It meant “Ajax websites that don’t need to be refreshed every time the content changes”!

People seem to be redefining Web 2.0 as Facebook, etc, that own data, but Web 2.0 at the time was platforms like WordPress, Odeo, Six Apart, Flickr, Technorati, and http://del.icio.us that had open data and interoperated. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ross/49490304 https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1479636522282455042

@aaronpk Hi! First of all thanks for the live streams. Great learning how things work even when the don't and you figure it out live. I love your website. What are you using to run it? Dumb no tech question.

Thanks! aaronpk.tv is a giant pile of ugly PHP and HTML! Nothing fancy!
