2023-06-03 link from John Goerzen | Introduction to Filespooler Filespooler is a tool for enforcing ordered execution of jobs that may arrive out of order, particularly useful for handling backups and synchronizing git repositories. It is designed to cooperate easily with transports that can be written to as a filesystem or piped to, and can use tools such as S3, Dropbox, Syncthing, NNCP, ssh, UUCP, USB drives, CDs, etc. as transport. Filespooler is written in Rust and is particularly suited for distributed and Asynchronous Communication. |
2023-06-03 link from John Goerzen | NNCP (NNCP) NNCP is a versatile communications layer that can effectively route over anything, supports file transport and remote execution, and is protected by end-to-end encryption and good security. NNCP works with “packets” which carry data and can be an arbitrary size. NNCP operations include file transmission and remote command execution. NNCP can be transported over a mountable filesystem, a tar-like stream, or over the network. NNCP also supports advanced routing such as via routing and multicasting areas. |

2023-05-17 link from Clay Shirky | Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable From 2008: The old models of newspaper organization are no longer viable, and there is no general model to replace them. The solution is to experiment with new models for journalism, which may rely on amateurs, sponsorship, or grants, and may fail before finding success. Ultimately, what is needed is not to save newspapers, but to strengthen journalism in new ways. |
