mafintosh: hopefully fixed in https://github.com/codeforscience/sciencefair/r...

still waiting for build to download so I can test myself

Hello

I was wondering if it is already possible to assign shortnames to Dats?

I read this https://datproject.org/blog/2017-04-03

mafintosh: yes, lots of timeouts.. just tried again after fresh install(s) on a little 17MB directory, and it never finishes... log on dest side shows:

And is it still the case that dats can only be edited by their creators?

M-martinklepsch> the answer to your second question is, as far as i know, yes (unless the creator sends the private key to a new editor)

aaaaaaaaa____: thanks

So I created a dat with the desktop app. Now I'm trying to access it via the datproject.org URL but get a Gateway Timeout error in the console: https://datproject.org/dat/41bf4461df1c101f0a27...

Found the answer to the title question in dat desktop... needed to add a dat.json file

mafintosh: can you take a look at 07e82e6ea1ab7e7c3d4872f035b2320e8aefe26ba35033b983f4b2e033d07d44 when you're free?

mafintosh: I'm serving it with dat-next-next but getting really poor speeds, even on good servers

mafintosh actually getting no speeds!

blahah: i was just downloading your dat with dat-next and it was blazing fast.. 30M/s or so

i don't understand because the dats that i make are not getting more than 10K/s downloaded by that same dat-next

aaaaaaaaa____: hmm ok thanks

huh that is weird

i quit after i downloaded 2G in a couple minutes

oh it just started going at MB/s

*2MB

blahah: what did you use to create the dat

dat-next-next

i want to test and see if creating / sharing the dat with dat-next-next works better than with dat-next, but i am getting errors when starting a dat-next-next share

aaaaaaaaa____: what errors are you getting?

with just `dat-next-next`: TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

try 'dat-next-next .' ?

also make sure you deleted .dat

right and with that i get: "Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read"

hmm

this is dat-next-next 0.0.24?

i installed dat-next-next from GH, maybe npm version is different

ah no i did have dat-next-next@0.0.24 node_modules/dat-next-next

no should be the same

at least with `dat-next-next .` i get a key, but immediately stops from unhanded error ( EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read)

hm damn

brb then will try to debug

blahah: aaaaaaaaa____ its a bug. can repro so will fix it today when i'm flying home

mafintosh: which one?

blahah: the speed regression and eisdir

ah OK cool - also getting EBADF across two different systems: https://github.com/mafintosh/dat-next-next/issu...

blahah: think it is the same bug :)

ah OK

:)

mafintosh: you shaved your beard for CSVconf?

blahah: haha no i shaved like 4 month ago!

just been hiding

:)

jhand: hey fwiw, in some hypercloud tests I've been finding that dat-node 3.0.0 successfully syncs archives, and 3.1.1 gets stuck not transferring some content blocks

pfrazee: ah sweet.

pfrazee: probably something with dat-storage then

jhand: yeah

pfrazee: hmm wait, did they all get imported?

jhand: dunno the only indicator I got was upload %

ok

pfrazee: is there any history in the archives that get stuck?

jhand: no

I created a dat today and tried to clone it to a remote server but the remote server never found any peers. Any ideas why that could be?

M-martinklepsch: In the dat CLI there is a 'doctor' command. Run `dat doctor` on your computer then it'll print out a key to run on your server, `dat doctor <key>`. That may give some hints.

@jhand thanks, weirdly after doing that it just started working :D

(and the doctor commands indicated success)

M-martinklepsch: haha the doctor doings its work

are there any tools/plans to sync dats to S3/Glacier?

M-martinklepsch: yes! The new dat protocol/metadata format will support HTTP storage much better. Once we finish shipping those then it'll be a lot easier to use S3 or similar.

jhand: sounds great! any particular place where I could follow that?

M-martinklepsch: now there is =) https://github.com/datproject/dat/issues/733

jhand: haha, cool :+1: will track that. thanks a lot for your help as well :)

jhand: now we have hyperdrive-key response in the api too

coolio

this is pretty nice ui for Ctrl+C. I had someone ask me yesterday in the workshop how to stop it. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/rwnQD...

karissa in discovery-swarm (via hyperdiscovery) on windows, I'm getting a crash that seems to be caused by there being neither tcp or utp server

karissa: this in electron - have you seen that before?

pfrazee: the transpiling in hypercloud doesn't seem to work for me anymore

jhand: that might be because it's a module. Is it a problem to use newer node?

pfrazee: not really just rather not have to switch back and forth for this one thing =)

pfrazee: " archives › archive status wont stall on archive that fails to sync" this is the failing sync test?

jhand: ummm I'm on mobile let me check

pfrazee: oh ran it again and got the progress stalling thing, so I guess it doesn't happen everytime
