I'm not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.

It's basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!

The perfect vector for a nefarious experiment...

    And here I am making a "useful" p2p decentralised network that has no users, so this is how you get people onboard 😁

    The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it's free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, ...).

    Forwart a port to your PC and install a node with a script/simple manual commands/docker image and you're ready to go. But no one does...

    Nice - but it's a pretty crowded space between Zeronet and IPFS and possibly others. And even these well-known ones barely see any serious use. And these projects have been promoted pretty heavily. You need fanatical users ;)

    Yeah for sure (Fanatic users come to me!) and I don't have the promotional skill or funds, but Zeronet is a bitcoin horror (IMO) and IPFS is like the grandpa of decentralised sharing, cumbersome and lacking simple things like the ability to update a file.

    One day it'll take off because of its ease of use and elegance, that's what I keep telling myself anyways 😅!

    I don't like those projects either. Scuttlebut and cjdns looked more "profesional" to my ignorant eyes. I bring these up because I'd like to hear your comments. I will check 10fingers now...

    Thanks!!

    Cjdns is more of a VPN or some sort of internet communication in itself, so not really a sharing protocol, more like a communication protocol. You could maybe build a sharing protocol on top of it but that has ofc to be done.

    Scuttlebut seems to be very interesting, didn't know about that one, thanks for the sharing! I'll have to check it out a bit more thoroughly, but it seems like a sort of IPFS-like at a first glance.

    Cheers!

    I love the description.

    Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see... unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn't it?

    The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration...the number must go up after all.

    You have 128GB of RAM

    Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?

    Installed, still have free RAM... I think I did something wrong...

    It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to.

    .......but why?

    Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers

    I don't run any containers and this made me consider trying to get the whole infrastructure setup 😁

    This is awesome! I'm now using the swarm to control my living room lights.

    Sounds like it's time to fire up another dedicated VM

    How can they claim this does nothing useful when it makes a number go up? Thats literally all that matters in life under capitalism.

    I think it's pretty cool. However, in this economy I don't think I can afford to spend that ram

    Definitely installing it once I get my server back up
