Thanks for your feedback and support! We're trying to push forward the specification work to support other implementations like https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com/ . We created a protocol working group and spec are being upd

Ya, we've thought about that. Dat's storage is pretty flexible and we have a content-addressed storage library. A lot of our users do not want or need to storage data in IPFS though so it adds unnecessary complexity to do that by

Dat allows you to store any type of data. Yes, I think you could do what you're suggesting (though I don't follow 100%). You can use it like you would Dropbox, except only one person can write at the moment. Under the hood, there

We have a few approaches to the disappearing data. First, we are working with libraries, universities, or other groups with large amounts of storage/bandwidth. They'd help provide hosting for datasets used inside their institutes

We'd love to work with them! We really like what they've done and we have a few partners that use Globus. Underneath all the transfers in Globus use GridFTP. Using Dat could help distribute bandwidth and speed up transfers. It&#x2

Ya, there are a few other related questions below. Resilio is BitTorrent-based. But I'm not 100% familiar with how Resilio differs from BitTorrent. The core difference is in our approach. We're all open source and a non-profit. We

We use TCP or UDP for all the connections. UDP is especially helpful for hole-punching as well. The direct HTTP support is not fully supported yet. But we're excited for that because it'll allow you to use S3 or other static file

The other one I know of is datahub [1], which used to be frictionless data. It is from the same group that built CKAN. [1] https://datahub.io/

Ah cool! I hadn't seen quilt before. You are spot on with the differences. Dat is targeting similar users to Quilt. But we are also looking more broadly at libraries, labs, or other larger academic/gov't organizations managin

Hi everyone, I'm one of the core contributors to Dat, @joeahand. Happy to answer any questions. It's an interesting time to see this posted because I've been working on a new datproject.org site recently =). Dat Project start

Yes, good point! Those are all important as well. I did not intend in my comment to emphasize a binary identity for authors. Seek out books by authors from any lived experience dissimilar from yours to maximize your grasp of our world.

by filiwickers 9y ago
Identity of the author matters because a writer's work is informed by their experience in the world. As a white male, I will view & experience the world differently from Jane Jacobs. Even in a book about facts, a person's rela

I was being facetious. Women are better writers.

Me either, and that's exactly the issue. Look at any top books list and it is mostly white males. Either men have an easier time getting published or men are inherently better writers. I believe the former is the case. By seeking out f

If you struggle to get diverse voices inside your field, maybe you should read from diverse voices outside your field. I understand it is hard and I also gravitate towards comfortable reading, usually meaning from people that look like me.

Ya, for Dat[1], we had a WebRTC implementation and it was unreliable compared to our other clients. We are hoping other in browser p2p options get developed, e.g. https://github.com/noffle/web-udp . [1] https:/&#x

Check out Dat: https://datproject.org/install . We do NAT traversal but also connect to local peers over multicast DNS. Command line client should have a local or offline option to restrict only to local peers soon.

We are releasing updated desktop & command line app on Tuesday with support for the protocol, as defined in the paper. I'd recommend checking back then (though some, such as CLI, are released already on npm). Your points are spot o

Not very familiar with librevault, but on a cursory glance the design seems fairly consistent (p2p, encryption, offline support). However, Dat has put a lot of focus into developing an ecosystem to build applications on top of the protocol.

Yes! Dat protocol supports syncing only the data you want, including storing all history or only the latest content. We just need to get the UI added for this in the desktop app & CLI.

You are correct that Dat does not offer anonymity. The primary use case for Dat is with scientific and public data. In Dat, a user will only connect with peers trying to share the same dataset, meaning a user will never get data they didn&#

It's called "implied consent". You have to agree to submit to a breathalyzer when driving in order to get your license. All states use this type of law for breathalyzer among other things.
