SPACE FACT:

'Constellation' means something different to the public and to astronomers!

A constellation, in formal astronomy usage, is a specific area of sky delimited by right ascension and declination. (analogous to latitude and longitude). There are 88 modern constellations.

A recognizable pattern of stars is called an 'asterism'. An asterism can be contained within a constellation, or across multiple ones.

Example: the Big Dipper is an asterism, but the constellation is Ursa Major.

@soren nah nah nah, you get like file hashes so you go to [filehash].domain.tld which gets you some metadata and pointers about how big the file is, then you have like [filehash]-[chunkid].domain.tld which has part of the file, which enables you to seek to different points in the file and reduce load and avoid character limits

Food for thought: What if Windows 10 had a prompt at setup to enable you to donate (c|g)pu cycles to something like F@H when idle (or, knowing microsoft, probably enable it by default). What advancements could those projects make? Would you be okay with that? Would you opt out?

when are we going to make dnsfs, a distributed filesystem made up of TXT records on domains

@drwho Seems broken for me, it just loads forever :(

@luna@cybre.space wireapp more like wiretap
