#dat

mafintosh: mostly we talked about having multilpe servers that also publish to each other

clkao: ah yea i remember that. i did some research though and i dont think we need that

clkao: because bt trackers don't need to that to support bt discovery and we'll probably have less peers than bt

ogd: sry was offline. reading your comments

ogd: ah .key there is a typo. it should just be .content

ogd: .content is null if the archive only has empty files (edge case)

ogd: re, have messages. the indexes are block numbers. end defaults to start + 1 or bitfield.length if that is present.

ogd: yep you can supply a higher start offset. its hardcoded to 0 for now, just so i could ship it. you'd use an offset if your bitfield was super big (tb's of data)

mafintosh: for bt trackers the client connects to multiple of them right? we'll want to do the same for multiple signalhub instances as well then?

clkao: yea but they dont share any state. we should do the same using signalhubs

created https://github.com/datproject/projects/blob/mas..., if folks want to add updates about what happened in June

also i am reviewing the issues we closed: http://hackfoldr.org/datteam/ and will be archiving the done items in ~8hrs

(Compy) Good morning all

morning

(Compy) Hey mafintosh! So I'm looking at all the options for my peer assisted delivery JS library, and I'm a bit torn as to whether or not dat or webtorrent would be ideal for this particular use case (distributed CDN).

Compy: i'm taking off in 10. both are good options. depends on the trade-offs / use cases you wanna support

(Compy) Yeah, no worries mafintosh! I appreciate the response. I like the versioning capabilities that dat offers.

Compy: the best thing you can do imo is build a decoupled module that allows you to build both versions trivially

Compy: then you can pick the one you need based on use case :)

Hybrid hyperdrive swarms! https://www.npmjs.com/package/hyperdrive-swarm-...

Pending that hyperdrive-archive-swarm PR that gave me a really hard time debugging

jhand: maybe electron-webrtc should be the default

jhand: for hyperdrive archive swarm

karissa: ya me module seems silly...

jhand: when wrtc isn't available

karissa: only issue is the electron headless can have some support issues

jhand: it's smart tho because maybe you don't want to install that deep

Dependency

jhand yeah exactly

karissa: right, feel like electron is a big dep

(Compy) I just can't believe there isn't a node-only RTC package yet.

[dat] joehand pushed 1 new commit to logger-module: https://git.io/vo7fI

dat/logger-module b44ae02 Joe Hand: improve printing of stats and output

maxogden/dat - improve printing of stats and output - failed - https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/dat/builds/14058...

Could probably PR o/ soon but waiting a bit on this discussion: https://github.com/maxogden/dat/issues/496

jhand: made my comment

jhand: we tried to do more elaborate JS APIs before but it doesn't really make sense and is too hard to maintain. So that's my only qualm is to keep it super clean and minimal like the cli

Jhand the cli could call the dat API and pass the logger as an option which is by default turned off, perhaps

karissa: ya that seems like a good middle path. And it is mostly done now =).

Yeah!

@Compy https://github.com/js-platform/node-webrtc is this known?

(Compy) TheLink: I think it SHOULD be known, and we should look at what it would take to get dat to use it as I think it'd cut down on the overhead.

TheLink: seems like that just replaces the electron dependency with a chromium/python dependency.

yeah :(

https://github.com/vmolsa/webrtc-native same here

http://rtc.io/module-rtc-switchboard.html not sure about this one though

==> https://github.com/rtc-io/rtc-switchboard perhaps a better link

uses websockets which confuses me

beep boop - testing hyperirc :)

coooool

whoop, beaker has autocomplete in the url bar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CloZzhroTBI&...

pfraze: beaker looks super cool, is it "usable" yet? :)

lachenmayer: it's pretty close! most of the major must-haves are in there

dat sites are loadable, and have an fs api now

pfraze: that's awesome!!

karissa: thanks! :)
