  • So while I’m myself struggling to fully understand what this is, it conceptually like it’s a blockchain on syncthing, where even if you subscribe to a read only share, you can locally delete what you don’t want to keep. So technically you could make bitorrent to behave like syncthing with search function for contacts you already know.

    Blog content was stored in memory and it was served with zero-copy to the socket, so yea, it’s way faster. It was before times of php-fpm and opcache that we’re using now. Back then things were deployed and communicated using tcp sockets (tcp to rails, django or php) or reading from a disk, when the best HDDs were 5600rpm, but rare to find on shared hosting.
