    1. Sree Grandheinspiraluna: this is our pinning service, you're welcome to check it out. Our org has our working IPFS configs as well that replicate with relatively minimal lag https://github.com/Three0Dev/Three0PinnerAbout two months ago we were talking about replication issues between browser and nodejs orbit-db some folks had with earlier orbit-db versions < 0.29. (like me) I promised you to give it a try to update my problematic orbit-db-pinner with latest orbit-db 0.29.0 but had to stop the experiment after a quick truying. Last week then, forked again SSree Grandhe s awesome Three0Pinner with working WebRTC signaling star connection . I upgraded all libs to be orbit-db 0.29.0 and added support for replication with the ethereum identity provider. https://github.com/DecentraSol/orbit-db-pinner This now seems pretty neat! My browsers data get now replicated to a node in the internet without any delays or other troubles. Halleluja! I am just wondering about SSree Grandhe idea to disconnect from all orbit-dbs after some team and then re-check for synchronization. I guess he was inventing this because of a memory leak problem - he ran into. Lets observe this question bit further.

    2. New orbit-db (v0.29.0) was released! It’s now all ESM and compatible with latest ipfs version. See release notes here https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v0290👍️1

    4. there's a new transport protocol coming to libp2p, WebTransport, that will make it easier and more straightforward to connect different nodes, but that hasn't been yet implemented nor tested in OrbitDB. would highly welcome a PR that does that and adds support for WebTransport in OrbitDB.that all said, it's been a while sine we updated OrbitDB to use the latest version of js-ipfs, so there may be other weirdness caused by older versions or the different versions not being compatible. you can try installing the upcoming new release from npm using npm install orbit-db@next. there will be an official new release (hopefully) later this week that makes orbitdb again compatible with latest IPFS.

    5. Hrmm, I also just successfully attempted to force replication. It's a bit hacky, but I used IPNS to publish a directory that contains an entry which contains the local heads of my "host" instance, and then pushed that to the "client" instance's replicator.frozenfireFheads = (await db._cache.get(db.localHeadsPath)).map((entry) => entry.hash) and then await db._replicator.load(heads)

    6. @room We have recently migrated OrbitDB to es6 modules and are looking for community testers. If you would like to help, you can test our @next releases. Repos are available on https://npmjs.com and can be installed into your project using the node package manager, for example, npm install orbit-db@next. Please note that these new packages are using the new ES syntax and so will not work with legacy CommonJS implementations. To work with CommonJS you will need to use the import() function. See https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#require for more information.

    5. a wiki page where the ‘commentary’ (rather than ‘discussion’) is open to a group of people who collectively share their views on the article, or topic, in question.

      Social annotations allows such commentaries

      But commentators can go on to pursue shared interests in self-organizing threads of conversations such that each participant can link their entire relevant body of work too the conversation

      epigon, naval gazing, pathetic etc etc

    1. Hegel is often described as a mystic. Indeed, even he describes himself as one (see chapter 4). But mysticism is a broad concept that subsumes many radically different ideas. All forms of mysticism aim at some kind of knowledge of, experience of, or unity with the divine. If we ask what kind of mystic Hegel is, the answer is that he is a Hermeticist. Hermeticism is often confused with another form of mysticism, Gnosticism (particularly in recent Hegel scholarship). Gnosticism and Hermeticism both believe that a divine “spark” is implanted in man, and that man can come to know God. However, Gnosticism involves an absolutely negative account of creation. It does not regard creation as a part of God’s being, or as “completing” God. Nor does Gnosticism hold that God somehow needs man to know Him. Hermeticism is also very often confused with Neoplatonism. Like the Hermeticists, Plotinus holds that the cosmos is a circular process of emanation from and return to the One. Unlike the Hermeticists, Plotinus does not hold that the One is completed by man’s contemplation of it. (Centuries later, however, the Neoplatonism of Proclus and of the Renaissance was influenced by Hermeticism.) Another parallel between Hermeticism and Hegel concerns the initiation process through which the intuitive portion of the intellect is trained to see the Reason inherent in the world. As Fowden notes, Hermetic initiation seems to fall into two parts, one dealing with self-knowledge, the other with knowledge of God. It can easily be shown, simply on a theoretical level, that these two are intimately wedded. To really know one’s self is to be able to give a complete speech about the conditions of one’s being, and this involves speaking about God and His entire cosmos. As Pico della Mirandola puts it, “he who knows himself knows all things in himself.” Also, in the Near East it was typical to portray God as hovering strangely between transcendence and immanence. The attainment of enlightenment involved somehow seeing the divine in oneself, indeed becoming divine.

      Hermeticissm is not Gnosticism

      Transhumanism does not compute for Hermeticism

      we do not have a good identity system because neither the centralized web not even the .decentralizedweb(despite that it could be made to be decent, while the centralized cannot even meet the minimum requirement of "don't be evil" instead it inescapabley gravitates towards total control that commands one to "do the right thing," as you are told

      What is called for is a new cosmology where individuals and their free association into communities can be their own autonomous hubs first class actors in their own trust networks instead of being just slaves to masters in the centralized settings or governed by trustless algorithms not capitalize on human trust and intelligence, which is impossible to be captured in "smart contracts"
