DAT-protocol

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨biotin7@sopuli.xyz⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

I stumbled onto this interesting protocol. Already has a browser using it called the beaker browser

Basically a decentralized protocol for data with Git-like features built-in. I wonder if any of you have stumbled onto this. Any thoughts ?

Not being developed anymore, never gained enough traction and afaik its lead developer is working now at bluesky.

What is it?
From one of the projects

Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.

So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?

  IIRC from when I tried this before, I think anyone who views the page then hosts it too. I’m not sure if there’s systems in place to stop the storage used ballooning, surely there are.

    How do they manage changes to the site and refreshing the peers with the latest copy?
